Index Entry
‘Second powering’ in this topology is identifiable only with the vertexes and not with something we call ‘area,’ i.e., not with a surface or an experimentally nondemostrable continuum.
There are no topologically indicated or implied surfaces or solids. Because the vertexes are the external points–the higher the frequency of the system, the more dense the number of external points. We discover then that ‘second powering’ does not refer to ‘squaring’ or to surface amplification but to the number of the system’s external vertexes in which equating the second power and the radial or circumferential modular subdivisions of the system multiplied by the prime number one if a tetrahedral system; by the prime number two if an octahedraal system; the prime number three if a triangulated cubical system; and the prime number five if an icosahedraal system; each multiplied by two and added to by two will accurately predict the number of superficial points of the system. This fact eliminates our dilemma of having to think of the second and third powers of systems as referring exclusively to continuum
