A triangle is the only polygon that retains its form and will not collapse, it maintains its integrity. A tetrahedron has 4 triangular...

The 31 great circles of the Icosahedron is a foundational model in Synergetics and nature's coordinate system.

The Cuboctahedron (Vector Equilibrium) is a geometric model that Fuller talks about extensively in Synergetics 1 & 2.

Sphere packing 12 unit-radius spheres around a nucleus will produce a geometric shape that Buckminster Fuller named the Vector Equilibrium.

In the year 1596, Johannes Kepler published an astronomy book called Mysterium Cosmographicum in which he hypothesized that the orbits of the 6 known planets at that time exhibited the geometric qualities of the 5 Platonic Solids nested within one another with spheres enclosing them. Mysterium Cosmographicum means something to the effect of "The Secret of the Cosmos" and Kepler believed that the divine order behind the cosmos could be visualized in geometric simplicity. By th
