Rigidity:
“This /thirty strut tensegrity dome_/is made out of steel turnbuckles and could be tightened into a very tight structure. As you tighten it up it simply means that the frequencies increase, it gets higher and higher pitched, and finally gets to a point where you don’t seem to have any audible tone at all and you call it rigid. In other words then, what we call the rigid structures are not because they are redundant in nature, the atoms, but because they are at a non-aurally tunable frequency.”
