The symbol Aum has got a very significant meaning. The shape 3 represents the consciousness , the large curve at the bottom represents the normal state of being Awake; the state you are right now. The upper curve stands for Deep Sleep and the curve that starts from the middle of the shape 3 represents the Dream State. These 3 curves are what all the humans possess, but the curve and the dot above makes this symbol significant and thought awakening. The dot at the top represents Absolute consciousness which means being aware of yourself and the surrounding around you. In order to achieve Absolute consciousness you need to have an Infinitely Open mind which is represented by the curve below the dot.
Your discussion of "Infinitely Open Mind" as being represented by the curve below the bindu (dot) is countered by several sources, which say it represents the veil of maya, which separates all of consciousness from the dimensionless absolute.
