¶ Jitterbug
RBF Definitions
“The jitterbug” is " simply a vector equilibrium constructed with flexible joints. When supported, it" is “a perfect vector equilibrium consisting of eight triangles and” six “squares. When released however, it contracts symmetrically, going through a series of phases. It becomes first an icosahedron, then an octahedron. Ultimately it becomes a tetrahedron.”
