¶ Trees (3)
Index Entry
Trees:
"With the liquids distributing loads and the gases absorbing
shocks, and the predesigned (DNA-RNA) overall high tension
crystalline tension fiber network (like a football skin) control-
ling the overall tree (or other biological) shapes to be produced
(when filled out with the liquids), we find the system transmit-
ting its hydraulic load distribution impulses through each
liquid-filled cell’s contacts with adjacent liquid-loaded sacs.
"Starting with one tetrahedral bud shoot, the tree grows as a
series of concentric tetrahedral cones–revolved tetrahedra
generate cones. Constant reorienting of the direction from
which the Sun radiation is coming, and the frequent shift in
wind direction and consequent drag forces on the tetra-tree,
produce a conic revolution effect on the tree growth. Each
year a new cambium-layer cone grows over the entire outside of
the previous year’s tetra-cone. Each branch of the tree also
starts as a tetrahedral-shoulder-cone sprouted out from the
main cone.
"This high-tension sac’s web design with its hydraulic-compress-
ion coping and pneumatic shock absorbing is much the same
structural system nature employs in the design of humans."
