This Page Revised 12 Dec 2004

You may need to refresh/reload
pages to reflect recent changes.
**Site Map - Links to every fundamental page, plus, plans for this site.
**Preface - What is a flexagon and what are some uses plus a bit of my experiences with flexagons.
**Introduction - More about my 1999 flexagon fumblings launched my current insatiable curiosity.
**Flexagons - Very short general flexagon history background with several links. Since there is already considerable information available on and off the web for all other flexagons except my configuration of the trihexaflexagon, a list of directly applicable flexagon sources is provided.
**My Trihexaflexagon Version - Instructions on the making and maneuvering of my new trihexaflexagon version.
**Mine vs. Traditional - Two differently designed trihexaflexagons are used. Switching between my new version and the traditional versions reveals interesting results.
**My 'Magic' Flexagon - Trihexaflexagon vertices numbered in such a way so that it could be considered magic, like a magic square.
**Magic Squares - Brief look at magic squares and the like with several links. The web is overflowing with background on magic squares and again I see no need to duplicate information.
**Findings - Brief overview on the current status on my flexagon findings.
**References - Main list of links, articles, and books.
**Faces/Downloads - Index of links leading to representative flexagon faces, strips, art, chains, quilts of all the different fumblings to date.
**Numbers - Discussion and index to links leading to all the number-related findings: Fibonacci Sequence, Sierpinski Gasket, Graphs, Pascal's Triangle, 'Magic' Flexagon, etc.
**Graphs From Spreadsheets - Representative graphs generated by different methods. And again, same as in faces and numbers, this will function as a graphing exploration and comparison and download terminal.
**Flexagons, Chemistry, and Molecular Biology? - Could there be a bond between flexagons, chemistry, and molecular biology?
**Music - Explorations into the flexagon's potential musical applications.
**Word Play - A look at palindromes, anagrams, and other potential word play. Depending on how this develops, this might be the index page for a number of word/letter/alphanumeric applications.
**Flexagon 'Quilts' and Flexagon Chains - Introduction to more flexagon origami fun.
**Philosophies/'Flex'osophy - My Theory of Everything or what do flexagons have to do with: Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid; A Pattern Language; Science, Paradox, and the Moebius Principle; The Cocktail Party Effect; Synchronicity; Theory of Everything; Taoism; and many other philosophical ponderings?
**Flexagon's World Popularity - Visitors to this site have originated from a lot of countries and I have listed those. I wouldn't doubt that I have missed a few.
**Discussion - Thoughts on anything related to this site.
**Flexagon Display - This display will run the month of October 2004 at the City Library in St. Cloud, MN. After this, the display may be used elsewhere in the St. Cloud area. As one can see by this web site, this display can be tailored to accommodate a wide variety of audiences.
