A SOLUTIONAL SKETCH POST IN PROGRESS that I intend to develop further.
ive not included any of my proposals for solution yet.
Can you figure out what Im driving at?

First I saw a crane (that I had to remind myself the english word for) flying close past my bedroom window.
The search for swedish 'trana' in english opened in ...https://translate.google.ca/#pt/en/trana
OBSERVE the translation from (earlier used language) portugese into 'trance*. What Im doing here Im doing as in an important trance state of mind. Very focused.
Then I checked the english word that I originally searched for which is 'crane' (also meaning something like something that lifts something...)

https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trana
En ofta upprepad myt, som bland annat beskrivs av Plinius den äldre var att tranan var en pliktskyldig fågel, och den beskrivs likt en soldat, och när flocken skulle sova så ställdes alltid en trana på vakt som fick hålla en sten. Om tranan somnade tappade den stenen och skulle på så sätt väcka sig själv. Denna myt motsägs av Aristoteles i hans Historia Animalium men istället menar han att fågeln inne i kroppen bär på en sten som ballast och om de spyr upp den så är det en sten som kan förvandla saker till guld, likt de vises sten.

Bogen pattern cobblestone paving

"... The second type of incremental scales has a reference, where a reference position is aligned with on increment of the incremental scale.
Typically, motion control systems are based on incremental systems. They provide a relative movement scheme as input. Incremental systems will require a home run to find the reference position and then count from there...

There are many possible solutions for absolute measurement. BOGEN can produce scales for any absolute pattern and provides several different types of sensing heads for some of the technologies. ...Using a binary patterns, multiple tracks can be written in parallel. Through the binary system using the zero as a north pole and the one as south pole, a magnetic pattern can be written, where each combination of the different tracks provides one position... "

Conformal cobblestones open ended question:
"Conformal mappings make a good basis for such patterns because of their angle-preserving property, which means that a square grid is mapped onto a curvilinear orthogonal grid which can be easily constructed from an arrangement of square cobblestones (setts).
The curves in the Bogen pattern are catenaries of equal strength. They are described by

ξ = c - \ln \cos η

and

ξ = c - \ln \sin η

, where

f (z) = ξ + i η

and

c

is a real constant.
Other conformal mapping functions commonly seen in cobblestones are

f (z) = z

(rectilinear) and

f (z) = e^{z}

(circular). But which other functions would be suitable, and which have actually been used?

The Throne Verse of the Koran
This verse speaks about how nothing and nobody is comparable to Allah.

Allah ! There is no deity but Him, the Alive, the Eternal.
Neither slumber nor sleep overtaketh Him.
Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth.
Who is he that intercedeth with Him save by His leave?
He knoweth that which is in front of them and that which is behind them,
while they encompass nothing of His knowledge save what He will.
His throne includeth the heavens and the earth,
and He is never weary of preserving them.
He is the Sublime, the Tremendous.

Burial of Sarah

Part of Art by Gustave Doré, originally uploaded by Neutrality.

"The Cave of the Patriarchs, also called the Cave of Machpelah ... and known by Muslims as the Sanctuary of Abraham or the Ibrahimi Mosque, is a series of subterranean chambers located in the heart of the old city of Hebron in the Hebron Hills.According to tradition that has been associated with the Holy Books Torah, Bible and Quran, the cave and adjoining field were purchased by Abraham as a burial plot."
"Dating back over 2,000 years, the monumental Herodian compound is believed to be the oldest continuously used intact prayer structure in the world, and is the oldest major building in the world that still fulfills its original function."

"The Hebrew name of the complex reflects the very old tradition of the double tombs of Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebecca, Jacob and Leah, considered the Patriarchs and Matriarchs of the Jewish people, who are all believed to be buried there."

"... In the round chamber, which is 12 metres (39 ft) below the entrance to the shaft, there are three stone slabs, the middle of which contains a partial inscription of Sura 2, verse 255, from the Quran, the famous Ayatul Kursi, Verse of the Throne."

"... Arabs returned in the morning, it was pretty obvious that something was amiss. They realized that the Jews had entered the cave against their will, and sealed off the rock with concrete. Since that time, no archaeological examinations of any kind have taken place at the Cave.
After his talk, I had one question for Mr. Arnon: "Why didn't you take more pictures?"
He told me the obvious. Cameras thirty years ago were somewhat more complicated and difficult to manage than our point-and-clicks today. It was pitch black. Lighting was impossible. He took as many pictures as he could, but it's not like today, where you look at the screen and see what you've got. Anyone older than thirty will remember that way back, not more than ten years ago, you took a picture with something called "film", and you shot the picture and hoped for the best.
What you see is what came out.

Pottery from the Cave

Often, when visiting ancient sites here in Israel, I find myself wondering whether this is the "real" burial place, or just some shrine erected centuries later. (Think: Kever Rachel, Kever David, Kever Yosef - the list goes on and on). Some part of me always wondered whether that same question applied to the most important burial ground in Jewish History. Hearing Arnon's story doesn't answer the question scientifically, but I never needed absolute proof. That place was - and is - an ancient burial ground - and I truly believe that Avraham Avinu chose that cave as the final resting place for his wife, himself, and his descendants.
Its a tribute to Noam Arnon and the people who live in Hevron today, that we merit the ability to visit, pray and worship there today" http://choppingwood.blogspot.cz/2011/11/whats-under-mearat-hamachpelah-2-rest.html
