Adam Makings is the personal astronomer and scientist to King Gregory III, and wrote a book on Rithmatics which Joel read. He discovered and investigated two-, four-, and six-point Rithmatics circles, and had more vague theories on other Rithmatic figures. His report also mentioned that clocks were somehow involved in the discovery of Rithmatics, but didn't include specifics.[1]
