Index Entry
Tripod:
"Goldy now sees that gravity makes the three legs of the tripod spread apart, but gravity also pulls the tripod toward the Earth and also coheres the Earth on which the tripod stands and gratuitously provides three more base lines formed as a closed tension triangle which keeps the three disintegrating tripod legs from coming apart and thus guarantees the structural integrity of the tetrahedron so formed.
“Since each of the tripod’s three legs are trying to part from the others, they are trying to subtract themselves from one another so they are minus quantities. Therefore, in this particular synergetic formulation’s formula, one vector leg minus a second vector leg minus a third vector leg equals (results in) the six positive vector legs (3-3=+6) which is the minimum number of structural members of a structural system.”
