Icosahedron: Inside-Outing of Icosahedron:
“When you seemingly turned the icosahedron inside-out, it was just the same as if you had adjoined the original icosahedron with a ring of irregular tetrahedrons, which is the same as if we covered the surfaces of an octahedron with 8 tetrahedrons-- and then those tetra’s were complemented by octahedrons around them, etc. So that what happens when a hole is proposed is that we are starting with secondary or tertiary or subsequent layers and are away from our primary and primordial energetic systems. That is to say, you will find the icosa will fit inside your first development and we might then say that successive enclosures of primary forms (vector equilibrium, icosahedron, octahedron, tetrahedron) constitute inside-outing waves. Just as the tetrahedron is really the octahedron’s inside-obverse wave. And what we have is (that?) when we go to the neutral center of the vector equilibrium (Universe ?) – turns itself inside-out and it looks just like a vector equilibrium again.”
