        Had to think what this would be mathematically, and I guess, it’s a factorization then.

      Square means “90 degrees”, so rectangles are square. They’re just not “a” square.

        Square has multiple meanings actually.

        Your comment makes you sound square, for example.

        It’s the other way. All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.

        Rect-angle, rectus-angle, right/proper-angle

          I didn’t say rectangles are squares, I said rectangles are square.

          Square can be an adjective. When you say a rectangle is square, you’re saying all four corners are square. If you make a picture frame in the shape of a oblique parallelogram, it’s not square. If you make it in the shape of a rectangle, it’s square. If you make it in the shape of a square, it is both square and a square.

            That’s a weird and confusing language if true.

            At least in geometry square is a special case of rectangle.

            Edit: I looked into dictionary and you are right, it also is another word for right angle. English is a weird language.

        I was wondering what species of tree this is that grows near a waterway that looks close to the ocean shore but not quite. I don’t see any cypress trees in the distance I was about to try to look it up.

        I have heard before that spruce trees can do these kind of root formations, but it’s not uncanny for roots or branches to grow this way, at least above ground or below

        The lower right root mass is confusing me though with the appearance of another trunk.

        Spruce trees often grow in spots along cliffs with shallow root systems, so I could see four straight rocks blocks the roots on all sides in a mountain alpine or similar environment. are you sure this is ai?

        Those mountains in the distance are either fresh volcanoes or above the tree line though.

          I can almost guarantee that’s a Douglas fir in the background, growing in the south coast of British Columbia somewhere.

          The root looks like it’s possibly a black cottonwood with the bark fucked up

          The mountains are the coast range.

          Source, I very likely live in the zone the photo was taken.

            It looks similar to driftwood to me. Which means it came from upstream
