I think that phi ( phi = 1 + 1/phi which can be solved algebraically)
applies to the object and not to the frame. I guess it depends on
whether the frame is the art or what's in the frame is the art.
Perhaps both? Too fine a point?
OK, how about the best area of the lens, which is a circle, is more
closely fitted by a square than by a rectangle?
