Vector Equilibrium:
“I found this √10·F² + 2√ relationship first in respect to what I call the vector equilibrium (which is usually known by its ambiguous Platonic title, the ‘cubo-octahedron.’) I gave it its title of vector equilibrium because of its four symmetrically interacting great-circle planes, each consisting of hexagonally bound planes-- visible when the vector equilibrium is cut into two halves, by any one of its four great-circle planes. Because they are radii of similar hexagons, the twelve radii of the vector equilibrium are equal in length to the 24 chordal edges which bind the four hexagonal hemi-sections of the system.”
