Index Entry

Icosahedron:

"discover that an icosahedron is a first-degree contraction of vector equilibrium. If the center ball just got a little smaller and smaller the system would very quickly contract down to the icosahedron. We never catch vector equilibrium in true existence in reality; it is always contracting or expanding.

"In the icosahedron we get to a very prominent fiveness, that is, around every vertex we can always count five."
