On graph paper layout a 1x1 square and draw diagonal AB with AB = 1.414 {square root of (1 squared +1 squared}. Whirl away by drawing BC perpendicular to AB with BC = square root of (AB squared + AB squared). I did this. Still have the graph and found it revealing when I got to diagonal HI which I sectioned into 4th's. For instance EF extended bisects HI at it's midpoint. After countless hours persuing whirling squares I determined the math is valid but applying it's an entirely different thing. CD extended is kool too as it intersects HI at .25 * HI. Anyone that's studied advanced trendlines will find this fascinating. BTW, I don't use it, haven't looked at it in ages, but the math's interesting and I use it as I mentioned earlier -- simple fractions. I believe any fraction consistently applied including fibs would work but my preference is forget fibs, keep it simple but stick to the ratio once it's set. 2's, 3's, 4's are all good -- just be sure to apply them mechanically. Anyone that duplicates this using fibs please send me a note. I tried whirling pentagons, still have the graph and my notes.
