[ldmgzdfp] Recursive donut

Eight squares form a square ring with a hole in the middle.  Place 9 square rings in a 3-by-3 grid.  Place a 10th ring, cut up, into the holes.  (10*8+1 = 3^4)  The final remaining hole in the center can be part of the next level of recursion.

Maps an octal-tree to a plane.  Octree?  8 bits in a byte?

Possibly other uses. Pretty picture?
