A Physical instance of recursion, from 1936

The key section being:

> The model village includes a scale model of the model village (which would be at 1:81 scale). This model, in turn, contains a scale model of the model of the model village; being at 1:729 scale this measures around 1 foot (30 cm) in width. This model also contains a scale model (in paint only) of the model of the model of the model village (which would be at 1:6561 scale).

To me the 90deg rotation along with the 9:1 scaling is what makes the recursion more compelling. In total it makes a full 360 rotation and 6561 scaling.

Also, then noticed that the sqrt(10) is almost exactly 256/81, the 4th root of 10 almost 16/9, and the 8th root almost 4/3.

Too bad the Vegas sphere is 21:9.

This submission was supposed to point here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourton-on-the-Water_model_vil...

But the URL seems to have been truncated to point to the whole article.

Is this the setting of the final scene in hot fuzz?
