RBF Definitions
Is tensegrity a special case of geodesics?"
RBF Reply: "Geodesics are generalizations. It does not mean ‘structure,’ it means the most economical relationship between any two events. But tensegrity involves more than two events. All of Universe is tensegrity. Geodesic is the relation between the Moon and the Earth. Tensegrity is always a total system.
“Geodesics represent a subgeneralization of tensegrity. All geodesics are not, as built, tensegrities. Tensegrities are inherently nonredundant.”
