The story of the chariot in Rambam

Hello Rabbi
Are you familiar with the Rambam’s interpretation of the Merkabah in the Book of the Perplexed, compared to Aristotelian metaphysics (or do you know of an article that interprets it, I just can’t find it)? Do you remember the image of the animals, the modes, etc. according to Aristotelian concepts? Not that it’s that critical these days, but just out of interest (and laziness to decipher what the Rambam encrypted 🙂 . People don’t interpret it because the Rambam called it “secrets,” while it’s Aristotle’s interpretation with a certain twist, so I can’t really find a comprehensive explanation.
Thank you very much anyway.

Not knowledgeable at all (and not really interested either).
