Vector Equilibrium: Great Circles Of:
“tangency of other spheres. Therefore, energy could travel from sphere to sphere in closest packing following the surface of the spheres, but in order to do so it would have to follow the most economical distance between those points and it would have to go on one of these railroad tracks. These are the railroad tracks of energy following the surfaces of spheres of closest packing. These are the most economical distances. Therefore they get to be quite important kinds of lines.”
