Framing the Question

Do you ever find perfect or imperfect squares or rectangles in nature?  Framing usually follows a default format of a square or rectangle, then out of this frame other frames are formed.  Is it then possible to follow the lines of nature, which are always in constant movement, and begin with a circular frame that never ends?  

Consider the chair you are sitting in or the ground you are standing on.  Motion occurs in objects and things both moving and stationary. Yet, the constraints of width and height of the frame confines us.

If perfect is allowed to include, well, occlusions, for example, and irregularities, then yes; for examination on other, often closer, magnified scales can reveal complexity, irregularity; that which has seemed smooth may not be smooth on other scales. Examining images in Super Vision can help reveal more of the complexity of form and more of the limitations of human perception, smooth appearances that really are appearances, that are true for human perception, within its limits, outside of which are other possibilities for perception; dogs, whales, insects, for example, have access to some of these.

--I do speak of generalized access, for sight, hearing; the senses may be compromised, impaired, and the range of a particular set of sensory organs could function within a different or modified range within the range of possibility--

That motion that occurs in objects produces sound in those vibrations, sound outside of, in the case of the (relatively) stationary chair, the human audible range. A device such as a contact microphone can amplify that motion so that humans can hear the choir.
