RBF Definitions
Here we have the tetrahedron as unity, volumetrically. The octahedron has a volume of four, the cube has a volume of three, and the vector equilibrium has a volume of 20. But the icosahedron has a strange number: 18.51. This is a very interesting number because the ratio of the mass of an electron to its neutron is 1:18.185. It’s the same fraction. But when you compound that 18.51 with the volume of what we call a vector-edged cube, which has a volume of 8.49, the two together give you a whole number 27, which is a second-power number and seems very interesting. So the whole thing comes out rational by combining two fractions and makes the effect sum totally rational." - Cite RBF to Verner Smythe, NYC, Reel 2, p.3, 11 Mar’69
