Restraints:

"The Platonic Solids do not stand

nothing stands in a vacuum of Universe. Nothing can change

locally without changing everything else. We have to look

for conditions where there is permitted transformability

and where there is some really great unanimity and I have

been looking for degrees of freedom-- ways in which this

could happen, the kinds of patterns that accrue to one

restraint, two restraints and so forth. You could see how

linear things could happen as the consequence of three

restraints and how planar things could happen as the

consequence of two restraints, and so forth. We then get

into a Universe of a certain number of permitted freedoms

and I have discovered that nothing was-- you might say--

rigidly related to anything else unless there were twelve

restraints so there was a minimum of twelve restraints to

develop anything we might call rigidly related set of events."
