I'm confused about this sentence in page 12 of the book "Grid Systems: Principles of Organizing Type":




This relationships is weak because the interior alignments are minimal




Is it because the edges circled with yellow aren't in same line?

          This sentence is making a comparison with the previous image and is related to description in the top main paragraph of the page.



          It's true the terminology used in the book is somewhat complicated.



          In other terms, what it's trying to explain is the more axes of alignment there are on a page, the stronger the composition will be since the objects seem to have a firm support. It has no any relation to the end of the text frame, the yellow ellipsis at the question.



          Actually, looking at the gray elements of each image they are exactly the same.
          The interior alignments are minimal..., the left image has eight red support points, while the right just five.



          enter image description here



          The example of a single axis in the left edge is initially weak for two reasons:



          • It's at the page boundary, when reading and jumping from a line of text to the next, the eye tends to move out of the page and not going to its content.

          • It's a single support for the elements

          Try to see it as a shelf with vertical supports, which of both has greater stability?

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of ...
