SO ENDS this meditation on spider web geometry. That such a tiny creature can have so sophisticated a grasp of geometric realities in an improvised and highly dynamic environment that constantly changes is remarkable. Add to that the well-known but beyond the Bell curve physical properties of spider silk, brewed at ambient temperatures in this small beast, after millennia of design experiments. Observe, connect in the mind, and be humbled by the merest of nature’s designs.
