You're likely questioning the phrase from Masonic ritual, the full excerpt reading: "What is a Square?" "An angle of 90 degrees, or the 4th part of a circle" So we're talking about a Tironensian builder's square here, and not a geometric square. The exact 4th quadrant of the circle given by the "square" is the one rendered when the hands of an analog clock are at 9pm, the traditional time for the Tyler's Toast. In the Scottish landscape, Kelso Abbey lies in the East, while Kilwinning lies in the West i.e. the Level or 9 o'clock hand, while the plumb rule is the vertical or the 12 o'clock hand. Then in the 18th degree one is told to travel N, W, and S through this 4th part of the circle to discover the lost word / genuine secret of a master mason.
