mathematicians ask how far outwards you can stack blocks. below, diagrams of the combinatorial architecture of the well-balanced stack.

i'm not sure why i found these images so captivating. maybe it's simply the different shades of gray and all the iterations laid out in a nice grid. really, though, i think i like how a "simple," yet deserving problem gets exploded into a full-on investigation. iterations. force diagrams. some combinations of elements makes this worth posting, i guess.
