    I feel a little off about this concept, because for some of those squaroid sections to end up on the same face of the resulting cuboid, that's basically saying that 'there are 11 nets of a cube, so long as we follow these rules, let me show you what I can make when we throw one of those rules out.' The non-orthogonal approach throws a similar, but different rule out. I had the initial thought that this reminded me somehow of the 'all angles except for one are 90°' concept, and as you're assembling the sqrt5 cube, it clicked that it's exactly the same. What's with your posting of icky math vids? Take my like, but not my comfort.

    Maybe we have defined Pi incorrectly all these years. Instead of a constant that multiplies the square of the radius to find the area, maybe Pi should have been defined as a constant that multiplies the radius first, before squaring the result. That constant would of course be the root of Pi, which happens to equal Gamma (½). Interesting that the area of a circle is half the diameter multiplied by Gamma (½) all squared. That Gamma function just keeps popping up everywhere.

    A simple solution is that at 1200th year, they install a SQUARE PYRAMID ON TOP OF THE 4 CUBOIDS AT THE TOP. Philosophically this will make the structure point towards the sky to signify that we will keep on going, and this is just end of an era. It will give a smooth ending to 1200 year long structure and won't make it look like a flat top structure at the end. Moreover it will signify that human's do make mistakes, and in the end we can fix it with a simple solution and beautify the mistake.
