A column of figures added by hand drifts sideways without something to hold it straight. A small diagram drawn freehand does the same thing in two directions at once. Thirty rows of 6.0 mm squares fill the page and hold both still.

That pitch sits between two others on the same shelf: a finer grid built for charting stitch by stitch, and a coarser one built to leave room for a whole word inside a square. Six millimetres is the middle setting, tight enough for a grid of small numerals and loose enough not to fight a pencil line.

The grid does not add the column up correctly. It only keeps each digit under the one above it, so a mistake is at least easy to find.

What is inside

Notes: 132pp; Squared at 6.0 mm, thirty rows to the page.
Reference and furniture: 8pp; Conversion tables, emergency numbers, and the pen test leaf that closes the block.

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.

The film

Page by page

A vertical film, 52 seconds: the cover, the ruling page, then 5 reference pages. Synthesised ambient bed, no dialogue — captions in three languages.

A vertical film from our own bench — this page contacts nobody's server to play it, and downloads nothing until you press play.

What is inside this book?

Five pages from the Squared Notebook 6 mm laid out as cards: a squared page, a conversion table, an emergency page, a world map page, and the pen test page. — Five pages rendered straight from the print file: the squared page, a conversion table, the emergency page, the world map, and the pen test leaf at the back. Every square is drawn as geometry, not tiled from a bitmap.
