Tetrahedral Coordination of Nature:
“Now combining van’t Hoff and Pauling and our own experimental explorations, we may dare to guess that because experimental chemistry has as yet found no contradiction to tetrahedral linkage, despite vast probing, all the structuring of nature is probably done by rational tetrahedral increment coordination in which the XYZ coordinates also may be employed to describe the arrangements but only in awkward irrationality because of the cube edges’ inherent irrationality in respect to their cubic face diagonals’ hypotenuse values, which hypotenuses are the edges of the tetrahedra in the omnidirectional matrix of vectors in the natural structuring itself. The contemporary development of giant electronic computers makes the handling of the XYZ awkwardness a practical matter but serves to obscure the significance of my discovery of nature’s own rational, nonsimultaneous, vectorial coordinate system oriented to the tetrahedron-octahedron lattice and its importance to fundamental clarity of thinking in a democratically-coagulating world bewildered by a ‘foreign-hieroglyphicking’ science.”
