Module: A and B Quanta Modules:
“The A Module is defined as the asymmetric unit of the regular tetrahedron; the B Module is the portion of the asymmetric unit of the octahedron that is left over after the A Modules have been scooped out of it. These, then, are the units in terms of which Fuller expresses his space. Since they cannot be symmetrically subdivided, they are true modular quanta. The A and B Modules have equal volumes, but are not commensurable: they are not expressible in terms of a common unit.”
