Square D1:
(1 eucalyptus, 0 brown cypresses, 4 green cypresses)

Contains top triangular portion of The House formation; bottom portion found in E1 to south. The House contains 6 green cypresses total, with left top green cypress, in D1, doubled by another green cypress in same square (still studying that relationship). The House acts as a type of complement to The Notch whose component *brown* cypress trees are found in D2 and D3 immediately to the east. Both are composed of 6 cypresses trees (all green for The House, all brown for The Notch). One of the 6 in each formation is twinned with a eucalyptus tree.

Square D2:
(3 eucalyptuses, 3 brown cypresses, 0 green cypresses)

3 of 6 trees of The Notch found here, all brown cypresses…

… including the central one of the pic below, twinned with a larger eucalyptus. More on that later. The “Aldebaran” tree is to its left in the below photo, one aspect of a Rubi Forest bull’s eye.

Southernmost brown cypress of The Notch within D2 (central tree of below snapshot).

Square D3:
(2 eucalyptuses, 3 brown cypresses, 1 green cypress)

… notable for containing the remaining 3 brown trees of The Notch, bunched together in the below photo, and near its western edge.

Square D4:
(5 eucalyptuses, 4 brown cypresses, 1 green cypress)

D4 is tied with B4 for most trees in a Rubi Forest square at 10.

A reverse (original?) Notch pattern could be outlined by its own, numerous brown cypresses (4), plus another just over the northern border in C4. More on that soon as I’m able to study and grasp more. Important new development, however.

Dense cluster of trees starting at the southern boundary.

Twinned eucalyptus and brown cypress in the southwest corner. Compare with same 2 trees twinned in D2.

Square D5:
(2 eucalyptuses, 2 brown cypresses, 1 green cypresses)

Floating tree on hillock — floating by a couple of inches as Baker Bloch is checking now.

Square D6:
(2 eucalyptuses, 2 brown cypresses, 1 green cypresses)

Square D7:
(3 eucalyptuses, 0 brown cypresses, 2 green cypresses)

Northwest corner. Close call on the foreground eucalyptus — almost in D6.

Square D8:
(3 eucalyptuses, 0 brown cypresses, 0 green cypresses)

1 of 3 eucalyptuses of D8 is twinned with a larger eucalyptus in E8, as discussed earlier. It’s a very close call between a location in E8 or D8 for it, but E8 has won out for now.

(continued in)

Square E1:
(6 eucalyptuses, 0 brown cypresses, 2 green cypresses)

Twinned trees of eucalyptus and green cypress below. This and the other green cypress of E1 also represent bottom points of The House formation (Hucka D. terminology). The House’s top portion is found in D1 to the north.

Square E2:
(2 eucalyptuses, 0 brown cypresses, 2 green cypresses)

Green cypress in southeast corner, surrounded by pink and green crystals.

The northeast corner is also pretty well defined by this eucalyptus.

Square E3:
(1 eucalyptus, 0 brown cypresses, 1 green cypress)

Square E4:
(7 eucalyptuses, 0 brown cypresses, 0 green cypresses)

Noted for containing famous 97/97/97 triple point of The Diagonal passing through the Rubi Forest northeast to southwest, enclosed in the 7th spire of the Castle of the 7th Spire projecting a bit into the forest from my property.

Also notable for being tied with B4 for the highest # of eucalyptuses for a square. Unlike B4, no cypresses are found in E4, and the 7 eucalyptuses stand alone here.

In common with neighboring E3, this square has a eucalyptus tucked snugly into its northeast corner.

E4 also has an example of a true, floating tree.

The 7th spire.

Square E5:
(3 eucalyptuses, 2 brown cypresses, 1 green cypress)

Square E6:
(2 eucalyptuses, 0 brown cypresses, 2 green cypresses)

The line of brown cypresses and oaks to the left here are not technically part of the forest, instead planted by my not-often-seen-neighbor Yoe May.

2 green cypresses pointing to the southwest corner.

Square E7:
(1 eucalyptus, 0 brown cypresses, 0 green cypresses)

Bare except for 1 eucalyptus. Only 1 of 3 squares of the woods containing only 1 tree along with A7 and A8. There are no squares with zero trees, and also each square contains at least 1 eucalyptus.

But as you can see below, E7 came close to having no trees.

Square E8:
(4 eucalyptuses, 0 brown cypresses, 0 green cypresses)

Another square containing only eucalyptuses, like a number in the forest.

On its northern edge E8 contains interesting lineup of 3 of its 4 eucalyptuses, plus 1 that just lies in D8 to the north, which also forms a twinned situation with the middle of these 3 in E8.

Same from opposite direction.

Breakdown of two types of Rubi Forest cypresses, green and brown, using the same grid method as before.

Almost the same amount of each: 37 and 38 (another twin). If the missing column-tree was added to the green table, the totals would be even at 38 apiece, and the lucas number relationship between total trees, eucayptus trees, and cypress trees in the forest would remain perfect. As it stands, the whole equation is one off. There simply *must* be a missing cypress tree, or an implied renegade.

Eucalpytus tree table again:

The number 732 is “imprinted” twice in this particular tree table, once in row 2 and once in row 5. These imprints, in terms of squares, are also direct north and south of each other. I believe this might refer to the infamous Room 237 of The Shining through the dartboard of the movie, where Danny looks at successive alternate numbers 7… 3… 2 at the bottom of this board (traditional layout) just before seeing the Grady Twins for the first time.

Check out a slice of Juli Kearns’ amazing Shining research on this particular topic here.

This follows from earlier speculation that The Notch of the Rubi Woods resonates with the V-shaped Hyades star cluster of Taurus, with a particular brown cypress tree becoming its “Aldebaran bull’s eye”. Then in nearby twinned trees (eucalyptuses) Edwardston Resident found an inexplicable eye staring back at him, which seems to represent another manifestation of the same archetypal bull’s eye of the forest. Of course, a dartboard also has a bullseye at its center, also red in color. The forest itself may represent the dartboard as a whole, then. More on that soon.

The only other repeating number sequence of these rows beyond 2 is 1,3,2, which occurs twice as well. One instance lies directly above the more northern of the 7,3,2’s and the second appears caddycorner (to the nw) of the second 7,3,2. An animation between the 2 pairs of triplets within this table might even be implied as follows:

Since the final interaction between the two pairs is a *point* (corner), then the succession of cube (top), square (top middle), line (bottom middle), and point might be implied as well in this 3 step animation.

Edwardston plays a new song in the Rosieri village church called “Starting to Understand”. Rosieri, to remind, is the sim caddycorner to Rubi to its southwest. The church is part of a small village Edwardston first ran across several days back, exclusive to that sim. This represents his second and more extended visit.

In the cemetery behind the church: ghosts!

“Where’s the darn gate again?” Edwardston wonders, looking for a quick escape from the cursed place.

“Woah, I hope whatever was in this cage isn’t heading up to Rubi and VWX Town!”

Edwardston encounters skid marks in the road while walking away from the cemetery and the church. He’s seen several motorcycles in the village. “Maybe they made these,” he thinks. “Hogs.”

Chill’n in a village diner, hoping a biker gang doesn’t suddenly show up, actually.

Further north on the main road, Edwardston spies a familiar object hanging in the sky. It’s his neighbor’s crystal-like skybox, low to the ground.

He heads back home through bramble marking the village’s western border. VWX Town just ahead!

Queerly, Edwardston finds he’s lost a day as he passes through the town and into the Rubi Woods for more exploring fun. He cannot remember the Rosieri trip because that actually occurs tomorrow, when he plays the piano in the church. Is he trapped in an eternal loop? We’ll see!

Edwardston studies the brown cypress tree arrangement Hucka D. has called The Notch, a prominent Rubi Woods attribute.

6 such trees form a v-shaped formation here. Edwardston pays particular attention to the brown cypress sharing trunk space with a larger eucalyptus tree. As he’s noted previously, there are maybe close to half a dozen twinned trees like this in the forest.

The Notch from above. Is this truly related to the Hyades star cluster?

Pretty strange: I took several hours to carefully count the number and types of trees in the Rubi Woods using an 8×5 grid method, and came up with the following sums. The total number of trees in the woods, counting those bordering Robin Lane in extreme north Rubi, is 199.

These include 123 eucalyptus trees…

… and 76 cypress trees of both green (larger) and brown (smaller) variety.

The amazing part came when I started dividing the total and subtotals to compare percentages. A number very close to the golden mean kept coming up….

199/123 = 1.617886178861789

123/76 = 1.618421052631579

… or the golden mean +1 in this case:

199/76 = 2.618421052631579

What I soon found out is that I’d somehow stumbled upon a succession of what’s called Lucas numbers or Lucas series, closely related to the more famous Fibbonaci series.

“The easiest way to really get down and dirty in a study of the 8×5 forest, Hucka D., is to divide it into 40 sections of 32×32 square meters each. This may have been how The Ancients studied the forest as well.”

Hucka D.:

Yes. 8×5.

bb:

You’ve indicated The Notch feature. Can you speak of other features now?

Hucka D.:

The Big Dipper, the Little Dipper. The forest is the sky.

In order to balance out VWX Town, I must coordinate it with the forest, the woods.

http://www.lindahall.org/events_exhib/exhibit/exhibits/stars/sch_.htm

V shaped star formation. Notch parallel?

1st Floor: Gila series of Gilatona-Lis. And the rocket launcher.

3rd floor: Lis series. 2nd floor we skipped contains the Latona series.

And then looking down from the 5th floor to the 4th and the exposed Falmouth series, the capping “4 collages in 1 collage” work of Gilatona-Lis. Funtastic.

There’s even a 6th floor to the structure, a type of attic. As mentioned previously there’s some room for new collages above and beyond Gilatona-Lis, unlike its old home, the Power Tower Gowlery. And also we have it combined with that oh so cool rocket launcher. Have you been to VWX Town’s Moon yet? You should go dear reader or readers.

Whee!

Carrcassonne gives a big thumb’s up to the Fal Mouth Moon. Well, a big arm’s up, since she has no thumbs. Or hands.
