By now he should be used to the mechanics of the thing.
The identity arrows progress without transformation
The cyclers change the shape of the thing:

- shape : cicle > square > triangle > star
By now we've learned about function, now it's time for composition.
How you construct something within the constraints is important. There are often hidden constraints in how a tool is used.
For example, a cycler is configured to pass through a sprout to its cardinally opposite edge.
[we teach our littles to RTFM at a young age in this house]
The guide says a Grower seeds in all directions and sprouts as a pass through. This precludes its use in the corners as shown below.
One must teach constraints before one can teach constraint based thinking.
We cannot being our journey until we have reached the a base camp of understanding.
