Tensegrity: Miniature Tensegrity Masts:
“It was obvious that each of the seemingly ‘solid’ compression struts in these island complexes could be replaced by miniature tensegrity masts (of any of these four types) and for the miniature struts in the miniature tensegrity masts, subminiature tensegrity masts could also be substituted. By such process of progressive substitutions in diminishing order of sizes, a final sub-subminiature stage of tensegrity mast would be substituted for the last stage of seemingly ‘solid’ struts, i.e., at a size magnitude of a single atom’s structural diameter. At this stage of local miniaturization, the inherent discontinuous-compression, tensional integrity of the non-solid atomic structures themselves would coincide with the overall structuring principle of the whole series of masts-within-masts complex. This eliminates any further requirement of the now utterly obsolete conception of ‘solid’ anything-- as intervening in the man-tuned sensorial ranges between macro- and micro world of ultra- and infra-sensorial tensegrity. My demonstration of the stable structural supporting capability of such man-witnessable tensegrity masts thus eliminated any further requirement of any ‘solid’ conception whatsoever.”
