5. Construct the inscribed circle of hexagon 4.

6. Construct the inscribed square of circle 3, pointing up.

7. Construct the inscribed circle of square 6.

8. Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 3, pointing up.

9. Construct the inscribed circle of triangle 8.

10. Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 7, pointing up.

11. Construct the inscribed circle of triangle 10.

12. Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection of circle 5 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 7 at the righthand side.

13. Copy circle 12 to the center of circle 1.

14. Copy circle 11 to the upper intersection of circle 9 and the vertical centerline.

15. Copy circle 11 to the lower intersection of circle 14 and the vertical centerline.

16. Copy circle 7 to the center of circle 15.

17. Construct a circle centered at the upper intersection of circle 14 and the vertical centerline, tangent to circle 5 at the upper side. See detail.

18. Copy circle 17 to the lower intersection of circle 15 and the vertical centerline. See detail.

19. Copy circle 9 to the lower intersection of circle 18 and the vertical centerline. See detail.

20. Copy circle 9 to the upper intersection of circle 19 and the vertical centerline.

21. Construct the "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the lefthand intersections of circles 3 and 5 with the horizontal centerline.

22. Construct the "two-points" circle between the center of circle 21 and its lefthand intersection with the horizontal centerline.

23. Construct the "two-points" circle between the center of circle 21 and its righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline.

24. Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the center of circle 22.

25. Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the center of circle 21.

26. Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the center of circle 23.

27. Construct the "two-points" circle between the lower intersections of circles 3 and 24 with the vertical centerline.

28. Construct a circle concentric to circle 27, tangent to circle 25 at the lower side.

29. Construct a circle concentric to circle 27, tangent to circle 26 at the lower side.

30. Construct a circle concentric to circle 27, tangent to circle 5 at the lower side.

31. Copy circles 28, 29, and 30, to the lower angular point of dodecagon 2.

32. Copy circles 28, 29, and 30, to the adjacent angular point of dodecagon 2 to the right.

33. Copy circles 28, 29, and 30, to the center of circle 1.

34. Construct three parallel lines, tangent to circles 31 and 33 at the righthand sides.

35. Construct three parallel lines, tangent to circles 32 and 33 at the lower lefthand sides.

36. Remove all parts from circles 3, 5, 24, 25, and 26, and from lines 34, and 35, such that...

37. ...this pattern remains.

38. Repeat all necessary steps to copy pattern 37 eleven times, with respect to all other pairs of adjacent angular points of dodecagon 2, as shown.

39. Circles 1, 13, 15, 16, and 20, and patterns 37, and 38, together, make up the final reconstruction.
