SQUARING THE CIRCLE
The Universe Consists of Breathing In, Breathing Out, Only the Order Changes.

The Lambdoma diagram carried further out would present a pattern of concentric rings with the spaces between each successive ring becoming wider. Therefore it is called an expansion. However when one halves in a direction toward the center the visual effect becomes the same. So that the paradox occurs that movement towards the center of the circle is expansion.
On the other hand when from half of the diameter of the circle the halving is completed away from the center, one can compare this to the dividing a string into 8/9, 5/6, 4/5, 3/4 and 2/3 becoming visually a descending scale which is then a contraction.
