Belochs square

[Damn]

Hi!
Does anyone one know why Belochs square is a proof of how the Belochs fold can solve cubic equations?

Thanks in advance.

I'd never heard of this; but have you tried searching? What did you find?

Here is one paper I found: http://origametry.net/papers/amer.math.monthly.118.04.307-hull.pdf

Of course, the square is not a proof; it's a construction. I presume you're looking for a proof that the square accomplishes that goal.

Yes, exactly that, sorry for my bad phrasing. I have already read this paper, I just had trouble understanding it.. Ive only been able to find two papers explaning this, but I just dont feel like I got a very clear understanding of it.
Thank you so much anyway!

If you'd like to ask some specific questions about a specific explanation, I wouldn't be surprised if someone can help. Just don't expect someone to write a whole proof on their own.
