If im your science teacher, don't bug me.
The one step closer thread got weird when people started trying to call people in canada.
Geomatics summary:
There are 16 symbols maid of 4 rows of either one or two dots.
There correspond to latin words, planets, body parts, elements, an binary code.

There are some calculation tables you can do with them to "answer questions"
as the OP suggest (and myself earlier) the calculation chart needs 8 symbols to solve.... this has been proven wrong, all you need is 4 but beyond that it is totaly random (see below mother daughter bit).
here is where I'm at with the whole thing, reposted from one step closer thread.
So I am trying to do this "math" and its totally random.
based on "The next four figures, the filiae, or Daughters, are formed by rearranging the lines used in the Mothers: the first Daughter is formed by taking the first line from the first, second, third, and fourth Mothers in order and rearranging them to be the first Daughter's first, second, third, and fourth lines, respectively. The process is done similarly for the second Daughter using the second line from the Mothers, and so on. The Daughters are placed in the next four houses in order on the same row as the Mothers."

I think that math is a wrong direction beyond working with the orginal seven bungie symbols.
I do however think it is interesting that bungie used a symbol from each planet. in order Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Perhpas each faction is from a planet. Dead orbit= Moon, New Monarchy = Mars, Osiris=Saturn, Seven seraphs=mercury, FWC=Venus. The planet/faction relationship is speculation but I think there is something to it.
Also each planet has two oppostie symbols in geomantics. perhps in the game. reguardless of which faction a player chooses may have the option of fighting for good or evil. Man that would be sweet.
The only symbols that are not planet related are

Both of which correspond to moon nodes. I can't help but think that this is related to the two points located on the destiny map

who knows thats just pure speculation.
hopefully this helps :)
