Reciprocation of a square 64 points into lines and cubes
The author explores reciprocation between point grids and line networks. Starting with a 8 by 8 square of points, he shows how every line through points induces multiple lines through a point, and vice versa, producing a reciprocal figure with aligned rows and parallel sets. He extends the method to a 15 by 15 figure and discusses constructing reciprocal cubes and higher dimensions with straight lines, asserting a general theorem for reciprocating any cube and even certain curves without using curves in the intermediary steps.

Reciprocation in Geometry and the Beauty of Mathematics
Gustave Frankenatsin argues that any line can be converted to a point and any point to a line, forming reciprocal figures that preserve the original combination. He claims this method applies to plane figures and to three dimensional forms, and presents a rule to guide readers: convert lines to points and points to lines while staying true to the figure.
