1412 triskelion
1. This symbol originates from the Celts
2. The symbol stands for moving forward, progress, competition, past present and future. The meaning can differentate based on the person. The three spirals are meant to represent some form of equality. 
3. The symbol is abiguous because it has more than one interpretation. Especially since it spanned from different cultures and has developed overall through time. The main meaning is equality, such as past present and future, but it can be interpreted in several other ways. 
4. The problems of knowledge that I see in this symbol for one is emotion. I see a problem with emotion being communicated from this symbol but at the same time the meaning behind it could carry emotion.
