Heidegger's four mirrors have a counterpart I have not seen suggested elsewhere.
The first hint to me was his remark to Jaspers on Hitler's hands and the observation that Elfride made his sandals.
I suggest the mirrors are also the two hands and the two feet.
This has an obvious link to the HakenKreuz. It places a different interpretation on his alternative to the sometime Christian view of the Cross as relation man-to-man and relation man-to-God.
Heidegger's four (Geviert) could be viewed as two which are earthly and two which are not.
It need not be rejected for being anthropomorphic.
Q: What was Heidegger's knowledge of the Michelson-Morley apparatus? Heidegger: involution and revolution.
