Octet Truss:

"In the octet truss system all the vectors are of identical

length and all the angles around any convergence are the

same. The patterns repeat themselves consistently. At every

convergence there are always 12 vectors coming together and

they are always 60° in respect to the next adjacent one.

(There are other angles in the system. By embracing additional

angles we can find 90° relationships.) The prime relationship

is with the 60° angle."
