Boxing Day

Roger continues to show the properties of the golden rectangle by dissecting down, casting similar rectangles as he creates squares and golden rectangles out of successive entries.

Roger poses a question, indicating that there are 4096 ways to inscribe circle segments in the successive squares as you travel down in scale - but almost all of those other choices will not form a continuous curve as you proceed inwards. You can get 4096 by posing that there are 4 ways to inscribe a circle segment in a square, and then you will get 4 ** 6 = 4096.

And we get the spiral here. Inscribing circle segments in each square gets you amazingly close to the actual continuous spiral associated with phi.

There are amazing examples about how artwork and nature incorporate phi into their organization.

We are now near the end of regulation play in the Lotus Jukebox. Fittingly, the original game disk contents were completed in April 1991.
