The mid-points of the sides of any quadrilateral form a parallelogram. Repeated applications of this inscription process will lead to two families of similar and similarly situated figures. It is proved below that the general n-sided polygon lying in space of h dimensions gives rise to similar sequences in the limit. If the initial polygon is not re-entrant convergence is rapid, as will be seen from Figures 1 and 5. The parallelogram is replaced by the affine transformation of a regular polygon lying in a plane.
