¶ Domains
Index Entry
Domains:
“There are domains of the tetrahedron alongside of the octahedron. There is a center of gravity of the tetrahedron and a center of gravity of the octahedron and the volumetric relationship around that center of gravity came out a s a neat integer whole number. I can then speak of these domains even though the cork is not in the bottle. I can talk about the content of the bottle so each of them are domains even though the edges are open so we don’t have any trouble now thinking about our mensuration in terms of tensegrity.”
“There really is a difference because the icosahedron is in a magnitude of 20 volumes and the tetrahedron of one volume so you really are amplifying a domain with this transformation, but the numbers are still coming out whole numbers and even though you went through transformations, the domains at any one time seem to be identifiable in whole numbers.”
