Pulse Pattern

Index Entry

Pulse Pattern:

"We come into some very interesting conditions of the tetrahedron where we find that a strip of paper, remember that we are exploring ways in which nature with a given frequency will do certain things. Remember also precession. We find resultant of forces are not at 180° and therefore there is a tendency to go off angularly. Therefore a zig-zag like this of identical length members becomes a very fundamental precessional consequence of a high frequency event. ... A continuous strip like this when folded down, down, up, down, down, up, down, down, up, would fold back on itself and form the tetrahedron and octahedron. ... and the octet truss and fill all space."
