Index Entry
The Fuller Projection not only contains its surface data increments within uniform and linearly unaltered closed great circle arc polygonal peripheries-- all the way from its spherical to its planar positions-- but also uniquely concentrates all of its spherical angle excess. It concentrates the excess into 360 degree symmetry within equilateral polygons. This means that the compound curvatures subside by symmetrical internal concentric contraction into a flattened condition entirely within its neither elongating nor shortening peripheral integrity. The internal subsidence of the Fuller Projection is in contrast to all predecessor projective methods for showing the whole world within one unitary surface. All the predecessors disperse spherical excess by outward ‘fanning’, i.e., by stretching out to flattened condition.
