mission

geometor.thompson establishes a rigorous, unabridged, folio-verified Digital Scriptorium edition of D’Arcy Wentworth Thompson’s On Growth and Form (Cambridge University Press, First Edition, 1917) paired with Jay Hambidge’s The Elements of Dynamic Symmetry (Yale University Press, 1919–1920) as the biological and morphological keystone of the GEOMETOR ecosystem.

Core Objectives

1. 1917 / 1920 Verbatim Public-Domain Fidelity: Preserve 100% unabridged primary texts from Thompson’s 17-chapter 1917 Cambridge editio princeps and Hambidge’s 1919–1920 Yale editions (The Diagonal & Dynamic Symmetry: The Greek Vase), verified directly against 300 DPI archival page scans while strictly excluding post-1920 copyrighted revisions.

2. Unified Morphological & Constructive Concordance: Connect biological morphogenesis directly to classical Euclidean proportion (geometor/euclid, geometor/elements), golden sections and gnomons (geometor/divine), Fermat–Torricelli foam junctions X(13) (geometor/etc), exact rational spreads ($s = 3/4$, $s = 8/9$) and root-rectangle integer quadrances ($Q = 1\dots 5$) (geometor/wildberger), botanical parastichy lattices (geometor/phyllotaxis), and projective/affine transformation groups (geometor/pappus, geometor/hilbert).

3. Calibrated Geometric Plates: Illuminate Thompson’s and Hambidge’s mathematical arguments with 11 standalone, theme-adaptive .euclid-graphic SVG figures honoring strict content/code separation.
