Points then Unfold

One theory in particular is referred to as strings. This is whatever occurs when you have a string that is replacing the object at hand. Thus, the string should be shaped in roughly the same manner of way. Only problem, most people hear the word strings and think of circles and ovals at first and seldom anything solid or boxlike of course that is fastened around with some glue. These though result in some of the following patterns, which as you can tell start off pretty basic and then turn advanced later on. Can you guess the relative shape of the object that did this and also its natural form? God often sent his angels, himself, or what have you to have measured the city or the temple therein with reeds, forearms, or whatever else they would have you until it was known then to man. Well it would have been were it not just an exercise in futility as most had assumed. Supposing these shapes were made by one of those things, which one do you think could be replicated with strings or really deserves tracing again?
