Are you suggesting something like the collective unconscious of Jung or meme of Dawkins?

I'm saying that there are a limited number of regular geometric figures available in the universe, so that will cause repetitions in their use. Also, that physics is the same everywhere, so that also limits options. I think the two main frameworks you cited are enough to answer the question. Unless you want to start thinking about divine revelation, which is also widely claimed by ancient peoples.
