536.10 Domains of Volumes

536.11 There are domains of the tetrahedron interfaced (triple-bonded) with domains of the octahedron. The domains of both are rationally sub-divided into either A or B Modules. There is the center of volume (or gravity) of the tetrahedron and the center of volume (or gravity) of the octahedron, and the volumetric relationship around those centers of gravity is subdivisible rationally by A and B Quanta Modules[^19] in neat integer whole numbers. I can then speak of these domains quantitatively without consideration of now obsolete (superficial) face surfaces, i.e., polyhedra. Even though the cork is not in the bottle, I can speak quantitatively about the contents of the bottle. This is because it is a domain even though the edge-surrounded opening is uncorked. So we have no trouble topologically considering tensegrity mensuration. It is all open work, but its topological domains are clearly defined in terms of the centers of the systems involved having unique, centrally angled insideness and surface-angle-defined outsideness.

Fig. 536.03 Domains of Vertexes, Faces, and Edges of Systems:

  1. The domain of the vertex of a system: the domain of each vertex of the icosahedron is a pentagon whose edges connect the centers of gravity of five icosahedron face triangles. The resulting figure is the pentagonal dodecahedron.

  2. The domain of the face of a system: The domain of each face of the icosahedron is the triangular face itself.

  3. The domain of the edge of a system: the domain of each edge of the icosahedron is a diamond formed by connecting the vertexes of two adjacent icosahedron face triangles with their centers of gravity.

537.01 Nothing stands in a vacuum of Universe. Nothing can change locally without changing everything else. We have to look for conditions where there is permitted transformability and where there is some really great unanimity of degrees of freedom. We see that certain kinds of patterns accrue from certain numbers of restraints. You could see how planar things could happen as a consequence of two restraints and how linear things could
