Hi Veronica! Thanks for continuing with this.

Mostly what Loki will get will be related to the sacred geometry behind the symbols. Since this imagery has been co-opted by a lot of different cultures throughout the years, there won't be a definitive answer through any searches. The primary symbols will be the Seed of Life - which was pictured a lot at the ball - and triangles, which are typically featured through the shrines. What's at the ball would seem to be more artistic in nature, as well as what's found on the invitations, giving off the indication that there's no real meaning to it.

Overall, sacred geometry wouldn't turn up anything similar to what you can find today. While now it's typically referred to as proof of god in society, a lot of that meaning has been lost by 2511. There will be the occasional blog that points toward it while speaking about how humanity needs to commune with nature and its gods, but many of these blogs are hundreds of years old and would only come up after a few pages and archive searches.

The modern understanding of this imagery is largely linked to a desire for that kind of holistic thinking, while acknowledging that the world has been burdened by technology and the end result of human ingenuity. Humans have accomplished a lot - but also haven't at the same time. If people believed sacred geometry was proof of god before, they now use it to indicate that there was never any god in the first place to keep humanity in line.
