RE: Graphic technique for math problem solving

How should i view this technique? It's clearly not a general algorithm, but if i look e.g. at the example of (SUM K) this (if i understand it correctly) isn't a proof. You;ve shown that it works for h=6, not the general case. Is it possible to use your technique for general proves? (the standard proof for sum(K) goes by induction).
And can you explain what the use is of writing everything connected by lines? I personally find a proof more clear f the various steps are written under each other (but that may of course be because i'm used to that). Bo
