By the process of elimination we get the following four primaries:
| Fig. 1 | •
• •• • |
Fig. 2 | ••
•• • • |
Fig. 3 | •
•• • • |
Fig. 4 | ••
•• •• • |
The process of confrontation of the corresponding points of these four figures (according to rule 2) gives the following four secondaries:
| Fig. 5 | •
• • •• |
Fig. 6 | •
•• •• •• |
Fig. 7 | •
•• • •• |
Fig. 8 | •

By confrontation of the points of each secondary with those of its corresponding primary, the following four fresh figures are obtained:
| Fig. 9 | ••
•• • • |
Fig. 10 | •
•• • • |
Fig. 11 | ••
•• •• • |
Fig. 12 | •
• •• • |
Fig. 9, confronted with Fig. 10 gives a thirteenth figure

And Fig. 11 confronted with Fig. 12, a fourteenth

Figures 13 and 14, similarly treated, yield a fifteenth figure

Which, in its turn, confronted with Fig. 1, gives a sixteenth and last figure,
