Object at beginning of video

Does anyone know what that object is at the beginning of the video or what it is supposed to represent? I was thinking some kind of compass or maybe a clock.

i dnt know wht its called but its very similar to a metronome, but it appears to be more of a soffisticated one. i am lost with its relevance to the song and the rest of the video, but theres lots of things that puzzle me in the same way. anyway, it looks like a metronome.

Its possible it has nothing to do with schism I say this because mantra is playing while the metronome is floating around.

to me it resembles the vastness of the infinite, in just one pass of the arm we see the entire story within.

i think it represents polarities, balance, that kind of thing. i think it's similar to the object in Parabola video that swings back n forth and is eventually broken and the pieces do the start/stop animation up to the wall then upwards. duality kinda thing
