Index Entry
The Fuller Projection operates in a series of transformation stages. It first subdivides the total world surface into a plurality of great circle bound polygonal zones. Next it transfers the data from the sphere’s surface in separate mosaic ‘tiles’ corresponding to each of the great circle bound polygonal zones of step one. While migrating as a zonal mosaic tile, each tile (independently) transforms internally from compound curvature to flat surface by methods shown" in the projective transformation model. Each tile transforms entirely within the respective polygonally closed uniform symmetrical containers, allowing none of the data to spill outwardly in perverse distortion.
"When all the tiles have tranformed independently from spherical to planar, their straight polygonal edges–unaltered in length during the transformed in transit migration–permit re-association in a variety of continuous data mosaics.
“The Fuller projection has the relationship to all other known projection methods that a mechanically fillable and sealable set of flasks bear to hair combs, hair pins, fish bones, and star spurs, as instruments of liquid transfer.”
