The first stage enlarge C in the ratio 1/r=3 and positions it on(0, 3). The result is C plus a replica translated to the right and separated from C by a new trema of length 1. The second stage enlarges the outcome of the first stage in the same ratio 3 and positions it on(0, 9). The result is C plus 3 replicas translated to the right and separated by two new tremas of length 1, and one new trema of length 3. The upward cascade continues to enlarge in the successive ratios of the form 3k. 1, record 1, English, - upward%20cascade
