a wild idea

I've been entertaining the idea of proposing this game, once it exists, to the fractiles-7 company (the company that produces the pattern pieces I use for the game board). On the packaging of their game they have a lot of different ideas for patterns, along with some educational bits about the number seven and nature.

I think that the connection they highlight between math, visual patterns, and nature is a perfect connection to the fundamental philosophy of the glass bead game; and I can easily see the inclusion of some simple game rules to accompany their pattern ideas.
