The Apollonian construction concludes with five circles, three given and two Apollonian, which together define six circular triangles. Repeating the same procedure, we draw the largest inscribed circle in each triangle. Infinite further repetition is called Apollonian packing. To the resulting infinite collection of circles one adds its limit points, and one obtains a set I call Apollonian net. A portion of net within a circular triangle ... is to be called Apollonian gasket. 3, record 1, English, - Apollonian%20gasket
