Grigar purchased this copy directly from Eastgate Systems, Inc. for use in the lab. The author produced a Volume Two of the work. The author produced a web-based version (http://wedescend.net) with Eastgate Systems, Inc.'s software Tinderbox. The folio is in pristine condition. "The CD's design follows that of others, like Stephanie Strickland's True North, used by Eastgate Systems during the same period. It is screen printed, burgundy in color, with 11 white circles arranged so that the center spindle hole is highlighted. The overall look provides an optical illusion of a 3D space where the hole serves as the entry point. Above the line of the 4th white circle are the words "commodity-firmness-delight," referring to Vitruvius' "architectural virtues" that Mark Bernstein, the owner of Eastgate Systems, Inc., saw printed on a t-shirt he saw in the 1970s. The name, "Eastgate", appears to the left of the circles and is also printed in white. At the top of the CD, the title of the work is hand-written in black lettering by Estha Blachman of Eastgate with a Sharpie pen."--Grigar, Pathfinders
