Octahedron as Model of Doubleness of Unity:
"Thus the octahedron’s concave-convex, unity-twoness state remains plurally obvious. You can see the concave infolded hemisphere nested into the as-yet outfalded convex hemisphere.
“Verifying the octahedron’s fourness as being an evolutionary transformation of the tetrahedron’s unity-lwoness, 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, introduces the structural stability of the triangle as a visualizable yet physical nothingness.”
