¶ Octahedron
RBF Definitions
"The octahedron… restrainingly vector-blocked… can only infold itself pulsatingly to a condition of hemispherical congruence like a deflated basketball. Thus the octahedron’s concave-convex, unity-twoness state remains plurally obvious. You can see the concave infolded hemisphere nested into the as yet outfolded convex hemisphere.
“Verifying the octahedron’s fourness as being an evolutionary transformation of the tetrahedron’s unity-twoness, we may take the four triangles of the tetrahedron which were edge-hinged together (bivalently) and reassemble them univalently (that is, corner-to-corner) and produce the octahedron, four of whose faces are triangular (ergo structurally stable) voids. This, incidentally, intoduces the structural stability of the triangle as a visualizable yet physical nothingness.”
