Tensegrity: Basic Tensegrity Structures: Three and Only:
“Now you see these same six members as they transform in relation to each other. They go from the tensegrity icosahedron through the tensegrity octahedron phase and finally become the tensegrity tetrahedron. The same six members can transform from containing one volume to containing 18.51 volumes. The same six members transform through the full range of the three and only fundamental structures of nature. What I am showing you here are the principles actively operative in atomic nucleus behavior in visual intertransformations. There are very extraordinary qualities in these structures. The tensegrity tetrahedron and tensegrity octahedron are volumetrically complementary and together will fill all space, but the tensegrity icosahedron refuses to complement the tetrahedron or octahedron but isolates itself in space or goes on to make up triple-bondedly into large octahedra which may then complement tetrahedra to fill all space,”
