Tripartite Ratios design
Returning to the starting point, like a rat in a maze.

"In rodents, the novel object preference test has been used as a behavioral parameter for evaluation of neotic* exploratory behavior, and also for memory consolidation tasks. Geometric patterns of this preference are poorly understood, and may vary among species."

Who knew? Rats already have a preferred tripartite exploration ratio (1.2).
But if they were tested with the 2(sqrt(1/Pi)) : 2 ratio (1.77)
(aka, 0.56418958354775628694807945156077.. : 1 )
they might even navigate a squared circle maze.
1 / 0.56418958354775628694807945156077..
= 1.7724538509055160272981674833411.. sqrt(Pi)
"The 1.2 preference disclosed by rats also reflected the proportion of their body ... The correspondence between body ratios and object preference may be explained by habituation learning and by sexual selection, and highlight innate factors regarding aesthetic preferences among species."
"There is more to the picture than meets the rat"
... when you consider your own daily rat race.
Like who's your daddy ... or mommy or ratmate?

Say what? Sounds like common sense to me!

* Neotic - "The discovery of neotic heterogeneity means the vindication of what one could call common sense."
