It is sometimes called an allegory, but I honestly don't know why it is called the keynote; that's the term we use, though.

It appears at the top of every chapter's charter.

The road leading to the building on the hill and the hill it sits on are fairly "new." It used to be a body of water with the hill behind it. At that time, the hill did not have anything but the badge on it and the rays illuminating outward. Also, on the water, there was a sailboat. The weird part is that there is no mention of a boat in any of our Rituals or ceremonies. No one knows what the boat means. I guess our Founders and their friends took that secret to the grave...

ETA: I guess I can point out things on the keynote if you ask.. I just can't give you any meaning!

The three steps, though, allude to a few things such as our 3 Greek letters or our 3 cardinal principles.
