Tetrahedroning:
“You have the tetrahedron as one, octahedron is four and cube is three. A cube as three is not what people have been thinking. They have been thinking that a cube was one. But I am using unity where a tetrahedron is one, and then a cube takes three times as much space. If I am trying to appraise all space with cubes I am going to have to use up three times as much space to get congruence with my arithmetic, so I find that the cube is not an economical kind of measure. A tetrahedron is by far the most economical measure I can use to subdivide all space.”
