Hex: Chemical Hex:
“. . . Take the vector equilibrium, rotate it 60 degrees to the next nestable position and suddenly it is polarized. It is in this polarized condition then, that a section through it makes the famous chemical hex that the chemists have used and the chemists recognize that form but ten or fifteen years ago they didn’t have any interest in the vector equilibrium because they didn’t have an experience like that, but they did in the polarized system. Apparently, then, all the chemical compounding in organic chemistry relates to polarized systems.”
