Petal: Tetrahedron as Three-Petaled Flower Bud:
"Convergence is involuting; divergence is evolving.
"Each vertex of the tetrahedron precesses its opposite face. Like the flower petal. The action is pear-shaped as the pattern of the vertexes opening up. Like the plus-four and the minus-four of the Indigs, which really should not be illustrated in a plane: the model is tetrahedral as in the tetrahelix.
"The tetrahedron is regenerative-- quite different from two hemispheres."
