Initial Digital Scriptorium Book Codex: On Growth and Form (1917) & Dynamic Symmetry (1920)

Established geometor.thompson as a 3-track synchronized Book Codex uniting D’Arcy Wentworth Thompson’s On Growth and Form (Cambridge University Press, First Edition, 1917, xv + 793 pp., 17 chapters) with Jay Hambidge’s The Elements of Dynamic Symmetry (Yale University Press, 1919–1920).

Highlights

• Verbatim 1917 First Edition & 300 DPI Folio Verification: Preserved all 17 chapters, Prefatory Note, Scholastic-mechanical epigraphs, Epilogue, inline page milestones (pp. 1–779), and authorial endnotes from the 1917 Cambridge imprint, verified against 300 DPI archival scans (including identification of the p. 748 Fig. 474 [sic: Fig. 374] compositor detail).

• Dynamic Symmetry Companion (Unit VII): Integrated scan-verified primary lessons from Hambidge’s The Diagonal (Vol. I, 1919–1920) and Dynamic Symmetry: The Greek Vase (1920), bridging Euclid Book X commensurability in square to geometor/wildberger integer quadrances ($Q = 1\dots 5$) and geometor/divine golden gnomons.

• 11 Calibrated ``.euclid-graphic`` SVG Plates: Built deterministic geometric figures via scripts/build_figures.py covering Galileo scaling, Plateau $120^\circ$ X(13) junctions, Maraldi’s $109^\circ 28' 16''$ honeycomb cap, Kelvin’s tetrakaidecahedron, Hambidge root rectangles, whirling-square spirals, Nautilus septa, Fibonacci parastichies, Culmann–Meyer femur trajectories, and Cartesian-to-curvilinear coordinate transformations.
