¶ Tetrahedron (2)
Index Entry
Tetrahedron:
“Organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry are both tetrahedrally coordinate. This relates to the thinking process where the fundamental configuration came out = a tetrahedron. Nature’s formulations here are a very, very high frequency thing-- nature makes viruses and things in split seconds. Whatever she does has very high frequency and certain simultaneous acts, sort of fundamental relationships, occur. We come to tetrahedron as the first spontaneous aggregate of the experiences. We discover that nature is using tetrahedron in her fundamental formulation of the organic and inorganic chemistry. All structures are tetrahedrally based and we find our thoughts resolving themselves spontaneously into the tetrahedron so it should come to us as something very interesting when we begin to get what we might call generalization of these special cases which are the physics or the chemistry.”
