    CONCLUSION Here
    we have a demonstration of using ancient systems for new ways
    of thinking and seeing. Part of my own pleasure was in finding
    that through all the irrational numbers and creative energy being
    put into the system, it generated the triple square, an elegant
    and beautiful rational system. It is also a good demonstration
    of how geometry builds things. Through the interplay of the static
    and dynamic elements of the grid, and the creative actions taken
    to rearrange and recombine them, the possibilities seem limitless.
    The eternal question for me remains: What is the force that initiates
    and enables geometry to build in such elegant and endless ways
    in nature? 
    In the Summer issue, I would like to look at a couple of irrational
    polygons, the 11-gon, the 13-gon, and the rational 15-gon and
    the golden section of a circle, all from the Square Root 2 rectangle
    system! 
    Happy Spring! Go look at the Geometry of Spring things, from
    the fields to the vegetable stands, from Mount Tamalpais to the
    Apennines.
