Distributive-square must be understood as an organic process which generates a relatively large amount of material from the smallest amount. One bars worth of rhythm is squared to produce several bars worth. That is, the number of beats in the bar (numerator of time signature) equals the number of bars of newly created material. If there were 4 beats in the bar then there would be four bars in the bar group as a result of squaring. First one must divide the beats in the bar intp sub groups. Eg. 4=3+1. The sub groups are then squared (3+1) squared =(9+3)+(3+1). The total length of the result is 16 the square of 4 and will therefore fill 4 bars of 4/4.
The process is intende to combine with the results of interference2 which also produces rhythms whose length is the square of the larger number in the original ratio.
