Abstract. Geometer Mark Reynolds demonstrates the use of an ancient system for new ways of thinking and seeing: on the triple square and the diagonal of the Golden Section.

Now it will be seen how the occult centers operate in the transformation. For it is from these two occult centers to the points, M and B, that begin the construction of the triple square. Next from the corners of the golden section rectangle, A and R, draw through the occult centers, OC1 and OC2 through to the lines, WV, and TU, intersecting them at points, Y and X, which form the opposite corners of the new triple square, AXRY. By lines, EOC2 and OC1M divide the triple square, AXRY, into thirds - each of the three individual squares. back to Step 8 | Step 9 | on to Step 10  The correct citation for this article is: Mark A.
