Downloadthis is not just a sheet of paper it is
an invitation
to everything that exists for this paper
is metric which has a special property
other pages don't dividing into each
twain is half the whole
uh obviously i guess but each half is
also the same

sides identical

are half as big but
different shapes which is far less
satisfying a full sheet of metric is
named
a4 and each half a5 and each half of
that
a6 all the same shape again and so it
goes in the opposite direction
