Volumetric Hierarchy:
"What Michael Berz is discovering here and what I had discovered and incorporated in the Kepler-like drawing of concentric symmetrical geometries of the 12 spheres surrounding the nuclear sphere (Fig. 982.61 (Gray) and all the other well-known symmetrical systems which I showed in the chart, which occurs below my drawing showing that the central sphere has a volume of and the central sphere is in fact the spherical icosahedron, giving complete rational value to the sphere in the terms of the vector equilibrium’s 20-ness, the octahedron’s fourness, the rhombic dodecahedron’s sixness, the cube’s threeness and the tetrahedron’s oneness. This particular drawing and the hierarchy of volumes I consider to be the most important single contribution of the whole book, ‘Synergetics.’
"This is why I felt devastated by the lack of color as well as the separation of the drawing from the hierarchical chart which itself had been done in color. This is the very essence of what Kepler’s great drawing hoped to discover but failed to do so because of his assumption of the cube for volumetric unity.
