Ya en El banquete, Platón nos refiere que los daimones o genios son los responsables de las correspondencias armónicas, pues vinculan el gran Todo consigo mismo (Ibid., t. II, p. 17n.). Con orientación pitagórica esta idea llega al Renacimiento, y Campanella, por ejemplo, estaba convencido de los poderes daimónicos de las palabras. (Schumaker, pp. 114-115).

Caramuel, p. 18.

	We thinke the heavens enjoy their Sphericall,
	Their round proportion embracing all.
	But yet their various and perplexed course,
	Obsev'd in divers ages, doth enforce
	Men to finde out so many Eccentrique parts,
	Such divers downe-right lines, such overthwarts,
	As disproportion that pure forme...
	...nor can the Sunne
	Perfit a Circle, or maintaine his way
	One inch direct; but where he rose to-day
	He comes no more, but with a couzening line,
	Steales by that point, and so is Serpentine...
	So of the Starres which boast that they doe runne
	In Circle still, none ends where he begun.
