232.00 Principle of Conservation of Symmetry

232.01 Definition: Whereas the tetrahedron has four symmetrically interarrayed poles in which the polar opposites are four vertexes vs. four faces; and whereas the polar axes of all other symmetrical structural systems consist of vertex vs. vertex, or mid-edge vs. mid-edge, or face vs. face; it is seen that only in the case of ver tex vs. facethe four poles of the tetrahedrondo the four vertexial “points” have polar face vacancies or “space” into which the wavilinear coil spring legs of the tetrahedron will permit those four vertexes to travel. The tetrahedron is the only omnisymmetrical structural system that can be turned inside out.

232.02 Take the rubber glove that is green outside and red inside. Stripped off, it becomes red. The left-handednessis annihilated: inside-outing. You do not lose the convex-concave; all you lose is the leftness or the *rightness.*Whether it is a tree or a glove, each limb or finger is a tetrahedron.

232.03 Synergetics shows that the tetrahedron can be extrapolated into life in all its experience phases, thus permitting humanity’s entry into a new era of cosmic awareness.
