Reconstruction of the Sompting (2) 28-06-2002 formation |
|||||
1. | Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | ||||
2. | Construct the circumscribed hexagram (regular 6-pointed star) of circle 1. It consists of two circumscribed equilateral triangles, one pointing up, one pointing down. | ||||
3. | Construct the inscribed hexagram of circle 1, consisting of two inscribed equilateral triangles, again one pointing up and one pointing down. | ||||
4. | Construct a circle defined by three points: the lower right angular point of hexagram 2 and both upper left intersections of the triangles constituting hexagram 3, as shown. | ||||
5. | Every hexagram encloses six smaller equilateral triangles, constituting the star-points. Construct the inscribed circle of the equilateral triangle constituting the lower right star-point of hexagram 3, as shown. | ||||
6. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the center of circle 5. | ||||
7. | Copy circle 6 to the center of circle 4. | ||||
8. | Copy circle 5 to the center of circle 1. | ||||
9. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 7, tangent to circle 8 at the near side. | ||||
10. | Draw the connecting line between the center of circle 6 (and 1) and the lower right angular point of hexagram 2. | ||||
11. | Construct a circle centered at the lower right intersection of circle 7 and line 10, tangent to circle 9 at the near side. | ||||
12. | Copy circle 11 to the lower right angular point of hexagram 2. | ||||
13. | Construct a circle concentric to circle 4, tangent to circle 12 at the near side. | ||||
14. | Copy circles 4, 7, 9 and 13 two times and distribute the 3 sets of circles in total evenly around the center of circle 6 (and 1). | ||||
15. | Circles 4, 7, 9, 13 and 14 form the basis for the reconstruction. | ||||
