1. Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines.

2. Construct the inscribed octagon (regular 8-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up.

3. Construct the inscribed circle of octagon 2.

4. Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 1, pointing up.

5. Construct the inscribed circle of triangle 4.

6. Construct the inscribed octagon of circle 5, pointing up.

7. Construct the inscribed circle of octagon 6.

8. Draw the connecting line from the center of circle 5 to the upper righthand angular point of octagon 6.

9. Construct the inscribed square of circle 7, with one angular point on line 8.

10. Construct a circle centered at the intersection of the righthand side of square 9 and the horizontal centerline, passing through the center of circle 5.

11. Construct the inscribed pentagon (regular 5-sided polygon) of circle 10, pointing to the right.

12. Construct the inscribed circle of pentagon 11.

13. Construct the inscribed square of square 9, pointing to the right.

14. Construct a circle concentric to circle 5, tangent to circle 12 at the lefthand side.

15. Copy circle 14 to the intersection of square 13 and line 8.

16. Construct a circle concentric to circle 5, tangent to circle 15 at the lower lefthand side.

17. Construct the circumscribed square of circle 16, pointing to the right.

18. Copy circle 16 to the righthand angular point of square 13.

19. Construct a (small) circle centered at the lefthand intersection of circle 18 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 16 at the righthand side.

20. Copy circle 19 to the intersection of square 17 and line 8.

21. Copy circle 19 to the intersection of square 13 and line 8.

22. Copy circle 19 to the righthand intersection of circle 12 and the horizontal centerline.

23. Copy circle 19 to the righthand intersection of circle 10 and the horizontal centerline.

24. Construct a square inside square 17, with sides parallel and at equal distances to the sides of square 17, tangent to circle 20 at the lower lefthand side, as shown.

25. Construct a square outside square 13, with sides parallel and at equal distances to the sides of square 13, tangent to circle 21 at the upper righthand side, as shown.

26. Construct a circle concentric to circle 10, tangent to circle 22 at the lefthand side.

27. Construct a circle concentric to circle 10, tangent to circle 23 at the righthand side.

28. Copy circles 10, 12, 26, and 27, three times, to the other angular points of square 13.

29. Circles 1, 3, 5, 10, 12, 26, 27, and 28, and squares 13, 17, 24, and 25, are used for the final reconstruction.

30. Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself.
