"In the Greek temple each column carries its share of the stone on top of it. Figuring the ultimate compressive weight of the stone as 50,000 psi-- which equals 25 tons-- the result is that each column can carry 1000 tons when it only has to carry 25 tons. The rest of the column is unnecessary except for stability. We can make it a cone or a tripod, like a camera tripod.
"We find the only thing holding up a Greek column was a tetrahedron… The thorns and buds of trees are tetrahedra: concentric cones-- the wing roots of the limbs. Goethe spoke of trees as waves.
"Only the tetrahedron can become visible and invisible. This is life: life is male & female, visible and invisible, but immortal.
“Hydraulics, mechanics, and the wave connection cofunction as the bio-connection: bio-logic. (A nice name.)”
