The above novel uses extensively the term “inscape.”
The term’s originator, a 19th-century Jesuit poet,
is credited . . . sort of.  For other uses of the term,
search for Inscape in this journal. From that search —

For happy-ever-aftering
Than here in Camazotz!"

In finite geometry and combinatorics,
an inscape  is a 4×4 array of square figures,
