Mk 6:41c ... And he-broke-down the loaves.

The 3rd phrase has these 4 narrator words, ... kai kateklasen tous artous (And he-broke-down the loaves, ...).

The 4 words are top down. The verb "kateklasen" comes from the preposition "kata" (down), and the verb "klasen" (broke). Meaning he broke the five loaves down. It says nothing about the fish. In order to do what the verse says, the two fish have to go, the bread needs to be broken in half, and then lowered (brought down). Try as you might, you will never get five loaves (481) tangent to the 87.7 x 57.1 rectangle representing the 5000 men in the previous diagram. It is impossible. The only way it can be done is to again change the dimensions of the rectangle. Of the many ways to try, there is only one correct solution (98.3% accurate). Not only do the five loaves fit inside this new rectangle (91.80 x 54.46+) with an area of 5000 square units, but the four inscribed signs are again drawing board tangent to the 4440 circle on which Jesus stands. The diagram shows Jesus extending down his hands to break the loaves in two.
