Chapter 8

What the Figure Means

The sample ends here.

Part I and the verse chapter are open to every reader — the problem, the impossibility of settling it by eye, the five numbers, and what the tradition actually says. From this chapter on, the text is the printed edition itself, and it opens with any licence, alongside the studio and the files it produces.

The evidence never locks: every published figure, its parameters and its measured residuals stay free in the library — exactly as the printed edition promises.
