“Since 1917 Mr. Fuller has been evolving his Airocean World Map and new projection method,… Due to its inherent advantages in respect to astronomical observation, aerial mosaicing, and comprehensive world triangulation by great circle grid the projection comprises a world-around Airocean strip map of approximately invisible dimensional distortion. … The Dymaxion Airocean World Map and its projective transformation strategy was glimpse-conceived in 1917, but required over a third of a century of development of” synergetics “to bring it to its present condition… the projection is contained entirely within a plurality of great-circle bounded triangles-- or quadrangles-- of constant, uniform modular subdivision whose identical length edges… permit their hinging into flat mosaic-tiled continuities at the planar phase of the transformation and thereby permit a variety of hinged-open complete flat world mosaics.”
