"Shoestring Proof of the Pythagorean Theorem"
 
   I think this is somewhat simpler than what I have written before.

Occam's Razor or just a restatement of Proof 4? I think this is slightly different than proof 4 because the mathematics works out a little differently.

The coordinates of the vertices of the square are within the 5 X 2 matrix with the first one being repeated as is the case when using Gauss's Shoestring area formula...

I happen to like this one...
