From: "frank zubek" ... What is an "octane?" The only "octane" I know of is in gasoline.... A tetrahedron (in 3D) is the smallest possible "shape." Is an...

... Well Frank, im little confused, unclear and misunderstanding perhaps. 1) I thought you had said that the octane(tet) was a derivative/dissection of...
... http://www.rwgrayprojects.com/synergetics/s04/figs/f1522.html ... Get to the picture of a octane and scrol down you will see octane derived from a...

... http://www.rwgrayprojects.com/synergetics/s04/figs/f1522.html ... Here is the copy of your previous message i have thought that we are clear least that was...
... Ok. I think i get it now. The blue large octane has the one vertex with 3 90-degree corners. And it is the same as 1/8th-octahedra tet in Syn. link...
Alan, these were great links and graphics, however, i do not see any kind of ico deriving from a snubbing/truncating a tet. I forget if there were any other...
... THe 1/8th-octa tets have 12 face/surface/opening angles just as all tets do, however, the 1/8th-oct. tet has 3 face angles that are at 90 degrees i.e....
... Cant see it but then im bushed/dead tired. Sorry :( ... I would like you too point me to the graphics that show that. Im skeptical. Skewed(torqing) is the...
... Yes; ... Small octane is one single first order shape. Large octane is the same thing just larger where you double it's sides with, height where the volume...
... problem before but it is not me, least i'm not aware that i'm doing someting wrong. frank __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?...
... O.K. i understand the 12 face openings but just think what are you saing now if this is a 1/8 of a octahedron which is made up by octanes and all the faces...
(JBw) ... Ok so you're saying an octane is the smallest possible 3D "shape" and I'm saying a tet is the smallest possible 3D "shape" and a tet is an octane and...
... John, tet. is a minimal shape of four sides no argument there i was saying which if any can be considered as absolutely the most minimal shapes of all...
... Gottcha. They are both i/8-octa tets(octanes). Geometrically identical. ... Is there picture of this in SYn. Do you hav a copy of Syn. 1 & 2 Frank? ... ...
... page about elusive cube of mine. ... Maybe one can construct a octahedron or coupler or cube by strictly via A or via B mod but in 1/4 reg. tet. i see...
... identical *lenght* legs meeting at 90 deg.forming 45 deg. at both side of the base which is a hypotenuse of that triangle. I have send the picture to you...
... Hi Frank Well that is cool if a cube is in a tet(octane). Ive never sen that before. Have you ever seen a tet with three 90 degree face angles of its total...
I have done an EIG project of which there are two screen shots at. http://users.highway1.com.au/~dharmraj/gallery/oneivm.html There is a link to the program...

... Well, let's look at this in reductionist methodology: Start with a tet --any tet, any irregularity, any size. Now, to reduce the size, you reduce the...
... Ok, you are correct! I rea the text this time and see that snub tet becomes and irregular icosahedron with no face trianlges ergo no circumferential...
... Yes, the process described above is somewhat interesting but it is not the one i was considering. I realize according to my cuts that the more one cuts by...
... This is very interesting. Maybe drop the "infinitely small equilateral" part. It is suffient , I think, to say that there will be only triangles all over...
... Any eight of the icosahedron's triangles can be parallel to the octahedron's triangles. Of these eight triangles, every other triangle is parallel to a...
