In Symmetry #2 and Cleavage #4 the four-great-circle
cleavage of the
octahedron is accomplished through spinning the four
axes between the octahedron's eight
midface polar points, which were produced by Cleavage
#2. This symmetrical four-great-
circle spinning introduces the nucleated 12 unit-radius
spheres closest packed around one
unit-radius sphere with the 24 equi-vector outer-edge-chorded
and the 24 equi-vector-
lengthed, congruently paired radii__a system called the
vector equilibrium. The VE has 12
external vertexes around one center-of-volume vertex,
and altogether they locate the
centers of volume of the 12 unit-radius spheres closest
packed around one central or one
nuclear event's locus-identifying, omnidirectionally
tangent, unit-radius nuclear sphere.
