Regenerative:
"If the spheres* are close packed" to form a vector equilibrium, "and the center sphere is removed or compressed, the remaining spheres close in to form a 20-sided 'solid,' the icosahedron. From this it follows that a vector equilibrium can be translated into an icosahedron and vice versa. They are close relatives. Each has twelve vertexes and the same number of surface-defining spheres. And each is a model of symmetrical regularities. Each, in fact, has a place in a family of relationships which is capable of cycling through a sequence of phases, hence . . . regenerative."
