Description

The page is dominated by a circular diagram, su surmounted by a paragraph of text (3.5 lines).

The diagram is framed by a ring of text, between two very faint mechanically drawn circles. A large gap in the text, with a decoration element, is very likely the starting point.

At the center there is a circle framed by another ring of text, also between two faint circles. The interior is divided into three parts by an upside-down "T". The top quarters contain a word each; the bottom half contains three lines of text. The circles and the "T" are mechanically drawn.

Surrounding the central circle is an irregular "ocean" with a dotted texture and a meandering outline. The outline is doubled in places in a way that suggests a sunken pond, or a shape cut out from thick cardboard.

Eight hand-drawn, inward-reading text bands, curved like the "arms" of a galaxy, connect the outer frame of the diagram with the center figure. The four arms that start at mid-quadrant merge into the "ocean", while the other four continue over the ocean and merge with the inner circle of text, 45 degrees counterclockwise of their starting point on the outer circle.

The four arms that connect to the center divide the "ocean" into four sectors. Each sector contains five unnamed stars, except the West sector, that has six of them. (The anomaly may have to do with the fact that one of the six stars is right on top of the fold-out's crease.)

Comments

The outline of the "galactic bulge" seems to represent water in other illustrations. Here the ocean's outline is drawn with a displaced "echo", as if it were a pool, or a thick puzzle piece.
