Yale Daily News, Jan. 11, 2001:
“When New Haven was founded, the city was laid out into
a grid of nine squares surrounded by a great wilderness.
Last year History of Art Professor Emeritus Vincent Scully
said the original town plan reflected a feeling that the new city
should be sacred. Scully said the colony’s founders thought of
their new Puritan settlement as a ‘nine-square paradise on Earth,
heaven on earth, New Haven, New Jerusalem.'”

Plan 9 from Toronto
This 1950 use of Galois coordinates on a grid
foreshadows their later use by Cullinane to construct
the Miracle Octad Generator of R. T. Curtis and to
illustrate, as below, point-line duality in the Fano plane.

Plan 9 from Durand Durang
A search in Fandom for Saul Durand leads back,
as often happens, to Indiana Jones . . .
Fandom page with a completely irrelevant Indiana Jones video.
For high art, see Cézanne in the previous post.
For low humor, see Tex Avery's Red Hot Riding Hood and . . .

Plan 9 From Moriarty
Some related mathematical windmills —

For the eight-limbed star at the top of the quaternion array She drew from her handbag a pale grey gleaming implement that looked by quick turns to me like a knife, a gun, a slim sceptre, and a delicate branding iron—especially when its tip sprouted an eight-limbed star of silver wire. “The test?” I faltered, staring at the thing. “Yes, to determine whether you can live in the fourth dimension or only die in it.” — Fritz Leiber, short story, 1959 |

Plan 9 from Disney
"With the Tablet of Ahkmenrah and the Cube of Rubik,
my power will know no bounds!"
— Kahmunrah in a novelization of Night at the Museum:
Battle of the Smithsonian , Barron's Educational Series
Scholium —
Abstracting from narrative to structure, and from structure
to pure number, the Tablet of Ahkmenrah represents the
number 9 and the Cube of Rubik represents the number 27.
Returning from pure abstract numbers to concrete representations,
9 yields the structures in Log24 posts tagged Triangle.graphics,
and 27 yields a Galois cube .
