Twinkle Angle: 5°16’.
"There is a 5°16’-ness in relation to the A Module which is part of the symmetry of the tetrahedron-octahedron and which is seemingly out of gear with icosahedron. It is the same 5 degrees and 16 minutes which has a plus and minus quality in relation to the icosahedron but we don’t usually think of much connection between the angular laws of the vector equilibrium and the icosahedron. But the 5°16’ is in there. Common to both is the 5°16’ where it goes minus this or plus this.
“There is a very very small fraction of difference between 6° and the 5°16’. We are talking about the A Module relations as the foldable triangle consisting of four smaller triangles which fold into the A Module. And the” basic triangle, or “120th of a sphere which is the six right mm triangles subdividing each of the 20 equilateral triangles of the icosahedron. It occurs spherically, but it doesn’t make any difference whether it is spherical, the angles are the same: the thing would fold over if it weren’t for the 6°.”
