Tensegrity
RBF Definitions
"In a tensegrity system . . . if you just tauten one point all the parts of it tune the same. Every part is a non-redundant system. If you tighten it, it tunes up. The tension goes up and the frequency goes up-- but it goes up uniformly all over. It gets to be an extremely rigid structure but it is a nonredundant structure. Anything that we would really call rigid such as one of the atoms of very high integrity pattern is explained by this type tensegrity patterning."
