911.00 Division of Tetrahedron

911.01 The regular tetrahedron may be divided volumetrically into four identical Quarter-Tetrahedra, with all their respective apexes at the center of volume of the regular unit tetrahedron. (See Illus. 913.01.) The Quarter-Tetrahedra are irregular pyramids formed upon each of the four triangular faces of the original unit tetrahedra, with their four interior apexes congruent at the regular tetrahedron’s volumetric center; and they each have a volume of one quarter of the regular tetrahedron’s volume-1.

911.02 Any of the Quarter-Tetrahedra may be further uniformly subdivided into six identical irregular tetrahedra by describing lines that are perpendicular bisectors from each vertex to their opposite edge of the QuarterTetrahedron. The three perpendicular bisectors cut each Quarter-Tetrahedron into six similar tetrahedral pieces of pie. Each one of the six uniformly symmetrical components must be \sfrac{1}{6}th of One Quarter, which is \sfrac{1}{24}th of a regular tetrahedron, which is the volume and description of the A Quanta Module. (See Illus. 913.01B.)
