Synergetics: Explorations in the Geometry of Thinking by R. Buckminster Fuller
We don’t have time for that kind of bumbling anymore. The tetra has 4 vertices crossings6 edges vectors and 4 faces openings.
Who cares if you have a sqrt in the denominator of a fraction? I have made a model based on the Vector Equilibrium using quadrants 90 degree arcs in place of straight lines.
Visualize a cube with circular faces. Then you can multiply by the Syergetics Constant to give the volume relative to a Tetrahedron defined by 4 adjacent unit-radius spheres of volume one. Part of the problem, as Fuller saw it, is that geometric modeling of the physical world fell out of favor some decades ago, when the math left experiential visualization in the dust.
But 61 decimal places are enough to describe a circle girding the visible universe with a deviation of less than a single Planck length–a unit to the twentieth power 1 followed by 20 zeroes times smaller than a proton. The corresponding cube of diagonal 1 has a volume of about 0.
One picture of this model is available by anonymous ftp switchboard. It will be on the inside of the last division into 6 parts. Nov 21, Andy is currently reading it. I’ll have to read this one more carefully before passing final judgment.
Synergetics (Fuller)
I believe, for example, that Williams in his book about structure gives data for the Archimedean solids relative to an edge length of one, which I find wholly unsatisfactory. So we must look at the whole system. It bobs and weaves! Each leg was subdivided into four-foot tetrahedral cells of half-inch pipe, and each fulldr could support two tons without signs of distress. As the triangles get smaller, their numbers multiply exponentially, hence the fractal-like self-similar nature of the algorithm.

The R. Buckminster Fuller FAQ: Synergetics
Mar 09, Jon rated it really liked it. The decimal expansion could be used, but often we would find much simpler fractions that are accurate enough. Ping pong balls are wonderful.
Most trusses appear to be arranged to act independently of one another, whereas the members of an Octetruss are all part of the whole unit. I’ve also simplified synergeyics computer program a bit: Use a washer to form a four-valent, flexible vertex joining two pieces of the surgical tubing or insert one piece of 2″ tubing into a hole you must cut it yourself in another 2″ piece of tubing to create the vertex.
However, fulelr seems worth investigating, because if some pattern could be detected, then we would gain not only an engineering tool, but a tool for understanding, which is one of the wonderful things about many of Fuller’s inventions.
Weave, weaver of the wind.
Synergetics
And, being that Fuller’s rather discrete geometry really never concerns itself with circles or spheres I suppose excepting sphere packingspi is not really needed. As it contracts comprehensively and always symmetrically, it goes through a series of geometrical-transformation stages.
Duane rated it it was amazing Sep 16, Incredibly technical, and i assume even most mathematicians would say that it is abstract. The chapter on Operational Mathematics In the short term, I don’t think Internet is the place to communicate these high bandwidth scenarios so much as a place to verbally fantasize them or give info about how to get them through other channels e.
Ergo, Universe does not have a shape. Because of the fundamental nonsimultaneity of universal structuring, a single, simultaneous, static model of Universe is inherently both nonexistent and conceptually impossible as well as unnecessary.
