Continuous Pattern Strip: “Come and Go”
930.11 Exploring the multiramifications of spontaneously regenerative reangulations and triangulations, we introduce upon a continuous ribbon a 60-degree-patterned, progressively alternating, angular bounce-off inwards from first one side and then the other side of the ribbon, which produces a wave pattern whose length is the interval along any one side between successive bounce-offs which, being at 60 degrees in this case, produces a series of equiangular triangles along the strip. As seen from one side, the equiangular triangles are alternately oriented as peak away, then base away, then peak away again, etc. This is the patterning of the only equilibrious, never realized, angular field state, in contradistinction to its sine-curve wave, periodic realizations of progressively accumulative, disequilibrious aberrations, whose peaks and valleys may also be patterned between the same length wave intervals along the sides of the ribbon as that of the equilibrious periodicity. (See Illus. 930.11.)
930.20 Pattern Strips Aggregate Wrapabilities: The equilibrious state’s 60-degree rise-and-fall lines may also become successive cross-ribbon fold-lines, which, when successively partially folded, will produce alternatively a tetrahedral- or an octahedral- or an icosahedral-shaped spool or reel upon which to roll-mount itself repeatedly: the tetrahedral spool having four successive equiangular triangular facets around its equatorial girth, with no additional triangles at its polar extremities; while in the case of the octahedral reel, it wraps closed only six of the eight triangular facets of the octahedron, which six lie around the octahedron’s equatorial girth with two additional triangles left unwrapped, one each triangularly surrounding each of its poles; while in the case of the icosahedron, the equiangle-triangulated and folded ribbon wraps up only 10 of the icosahedron’s 20 triangles, those 10 being the 10 that lie around the icosahedron’s equatorial girth, leaving five triangles uncovered around each of its polar vertexes. (See Illus. 930.20.)

Fig. 930.11: This continuous triangulation pattern strip is a 60, angular, “come and go” alternation of very-high-frequency energy events of unit wavelength. This strip folded back on itself becomes a series of octahedra. The octahedra strips then combine to form a space-filling array of octahedra and tetrahedra, with all lines or vectors being of identical length and all the triangles equilateral and all the vertexes being omnidirectionally evenly spaced from one another. This is the pattern of “closest packing” of spheres.
930.21 The two uncovered triangles of the octahedron may be covered by wrapping only one more triangularly folded ribbon whose axis of wraparound is one of the $X
YZ$ symmetrical axes of the octahedron.

930.22 Complete wrap-up of the two sets of five triangles occurring around each of the two polar zones of the icosahedron, after its equatorial zone triangles are completely enclosed by one ribbon-wrapping, can be accomplished by employing only two more such alternating, triangulated ribbon-wrappings.
930.23 The tetrahedron requires only one wrap-up ribbon; the octahedron two; and the icosahedron three, to cover all their respective numbers of triangular facets. Though all their faces are covered, there are, however, alternate and asymmetrically arrayed, open and closed edges of the tetra, octa, and icosa, to close all of which in an even-number of layers of ribbon coverage per each facet and per each edge of the three-and-only prime structural systems of Universe, requires three, triangulated, ribbon-strip wrappings for the tetrahedron; six for the octahedron; and nine for the icosahedron.
930.24 If each of the ribbon-strips used to wrap-up, completely and symmetrically, the tetra, octa, and icosa, consists of transparent tape; and those tapes have been divided by a set of equidistantly interspaced lines running parallel to the ribbon’s edges; and three of these ribbons wrap the tetrahedron, six wrap the octahedron, and nine the icosahedron; then all the four equiangular triangular facets of the tetrahedron, eight of the octahedron, and 20 of the icosahedron, will be seen to be symmetrically subdivided into smaller equiangle triangles whose total number will be N2, the second power of the number of spaces between the ribbon’s parallel lines.
930.25 All of the vertexes of the intercrossings of the three-, six-, nine- ribbons’ internal parallel lines and edges identify the centers of spheres closest-packed into tetrahedra, octahedra, and icosahedra of a frequency corresponding to the number of parallel intervals of the ribbons. These numbers (as we know from Sec. 223.21 ) are:
930.26 Thus we learn sum-totally how a ribbon (band) wave, a waveband, can self-interfere periodically to produce in-shuntingly all the three prime structures of Universe and a complex isotropic vector matrix of successively shuttle-woven tetrahedra and octahedra. It also illustrates how energy may be wave-shuntingly self-knotted or self-interfered with (see Sec. 506), and their energies impounded in local, high-frequency systems which we misidentify as only-seemingly-static matter.
