RBF Definitions
"The great circle planes of the vector equilibrium projected as true circles on a sphere represent the equators of spin… The vector equilibrium has 14 faces which represent the 14 main aspects of a regular tetrahedron. Six of these faces are square and they are symmetrical to one another. We can pair the square faces so that there are three pairs of square faces and we can interconnect their opposite centers of gravity, which provides three axes corresponding to the XYZ coordinates. We can spin the vector equilibrium on any one of these three axes of symmetry to produce three equators of spin. These we speak of as the 'vector Equilibrium’s three great circles.
"There are also the eight triangular facets of the vector equilibrium. If we take the opposite midpoints of these eight triangles, we can pair them into four sets giving us four axes and spin the vector equilibrium on these axes to produce four equators of spin of the vector Equilibrium’s four great circles.
“The vector equilibrium also has 12 vertexes which provide six axes of spin. These produce the vector equilibrium’s six great circles. The vector equilibrium has one other set of symmetrical”
