Index Entry
A vectorial-edged cube collapses. The cube’s corner flexibility can be frustrated only by triangulation. Each of the four corners of the cube’s six faces could be structurally stabilized with small triangular gussets, of which there would be 24, with the long edge structurals acting as powerful levers against the small triangles. The complete standard stabilization of the cube can be accomplished with a minimum of six additional membees in the form of six structural struts placed diagonally, corner to corner, in each of the six square faces, with four of the cube’s eight corner vertexes so interconnected. These six, end-interconnected diagonals are the six edges of a tetrahedron. The most efficient stabilized cubical form is accomplished with the prime structural system of Universe: the tetrahedron.
