Octahedron as Photosynthesis Model:
"Gravity must always be thought of as embracing. For instance, it would be like the hoops of a barrel. The staves are wedges. Unless you have truncated the wedges they could all go right to the center of the sphere; and they would like to get out of the system, but the bands hold them together. They cannot get any closer together because their outer parts are larger than their inner parts. They can’t fall in. But the point is that the bands are finite: they come back upon themselves and they embrace. You have to return on to yourself to embrace. Gravity operates then by embracement. The larger the phenomenon that it embraces, the more leverage effect it has because you simply tighten the screws and the bands at the ends of the lever. This is why the pressures increase as you go into the Earth; they continually increase the further in you go due to the leverage effect of the embracement.
“Gravity does not operate perpendicularly. It operates not as a radius but at 90 degrees to the radius. All the radiation goes outward radiantly; the gravity is always circumferential and therefore finite and enclosing. I give you, for instance, the hexagon, where the six radii are trying to come apart explosively. They disintegrate; the radii do not help each other. But if you have the same number of sticks arranged”
