Structural Quanta:
"Six edge vectors = one tetrahedron. One tetrahedron = one structural quantum.
1 tetrahedron (volume 1) = 6 edge vectors = 1 structural quantum;
1 octahedron (volume 4) = 12 edge vectors = 2 structural quanta;
1 icosahedron (volume 18.51) = 30 edge vectors = 5 Structural quanta.
Therefore:
with tetrahedron, 1 structural quantum provides 1 unit of volume;
with octahedron, 1 structural quantum provides 2 units of volume;
with icosahedron, 1 structural quantum provides 3.7 units of volume."
