GEOMETRY & TETRAHEDRON
- Physicist John Wheeler
Fundamental Principles
The tetrahedron represents the minimum structural system in universe - the simplest possible arrangement that creates and defines space. It is the fundamental building block from which all other geometric systems can be derived.
STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS
The tetrahedron is the only polyhedron that cannot be compressed or distorted when its edges are fixed. It is the minimum structural system.
MOVEMENT
All dynamic systems can be understood through the lens of tetrahedral geometry and its transformations.
EXPERIENCE
Our perception of space is fundamentally tetrahedral in nature, with minimum system of perception requiring four points of reference.
According to Buckminster Fuller's Synergetics, the tetrahedron is the minimum system that can define a spatial experience. It represents both the smallest possible structural system and the foundation of geometric understanding.
