In your blog on time wasting, you happened to mention the construction of nonagons. As a matter of fact, I have spent many hours with nonagons. It turns out that it is mathematically impossible to construct a PERFECT nonagon using standard Euclidean geometry, but after much trial and error, I have found a relatively simple way to construct a nonagon whose internal angles are accurate to better than 9 parts in one billion. At the basis of this construction is a natural angle of 11.6666666 degrees that pops up from a very simple construction that comprises mainly squares and circles. It feels quite interesting to have a piece of knowledge that absolutely nobody else has.

I felt that many of your comments on other subjects were intelligent and insightful. There is much to be gained by questioning the norms of apparent reality.

Wishing you well
