Pick a number, n.
Form the set S = {1, ..., n}
​
Loop (i starts at 0):
Form a new set, Fi , by removing from S the smallest two numbers, a and b, and the sequence a+b, b+(a+b), (a+b)+(b+(a+b)), etc.
If S still has at least two elements, generate the set F(i+1) from remaining elements of S.
Repeat to generate the set of sequences, F0, ..., Fk , that covers S
​
F0: 1,2,3,5,8,13,...
F1: 4,6,10,16,26,...
F2: 7,9,16,25,...
.
.
.
Fk: ...
​
Transform each Fi to a sequence of pairs: eg 1,2,3 maps to (1,2),(2,3)
​
Divide a unit circle evenly by placing n vertices on the circle (Ith roots of unity).
Number the points 1,...,n sequentially by moving around the circle once.
​
Map the pairs to line segments between points on unit circle.
