Build it

A square cell gives two directions to draw a straight line in, and two more at an angle that agrees with nothing else on the page. A hexagon gives six, all the same length, so a shape built from one side of a cell sits flush against a shape built from any other. That is the whole argument for ruling a page this way instead of the ordinary square.
Ninety-six pages carry the hexagon at 4.94 millimetres, thirty-five rows deep, behind one divider. A further fourteen lined pages sit at the back, because not every note belongs inside a cell.
The book does not know what gets drawn in the hexagons. A honeycomb of six-sided cells with nothing on it yet is as far as a printed page can go; what goes in the cells is the reader's.
What is inside

In every book
The same six pages open every book: your details, who to call, the signs to point at when you have no shared language, and the map. They sit at the front because the moment you need them is not the moment to be flicking through.
- This book belongs to
- One page for your name and number, so a book that goes missing can come back.
- My details
- Blood group, allergies, who to call. Written once, carried everywhere.
- Emergency numbers
- Forty countries, taken from Wikidata property P2852 (CC0), agreed across two sources, every row carrying its QID. Numbers change and a book does not — verify locally on arrival.
- Point at this
- A pictogram grid captioned in English above and Indonesian below, for when there is no shared language.
- World map
- Natural Earth 110m, public domain, equirectangular, with UTC hour meridians computed from the projection rather than from a timezone database. For orientation and for pointing at, not a navigation chart.
- Conversion tables
- Computed from definitions — 25.4 mm to the inch — and not copied from anywhere, so every row can be checked by anyone holding the book.
- Pen test leaf
- The last page, printed for it on purpose. Every notebook is used this way; printing it deliberately is cheaper than losing the last leaf to it by accident.
