Allspace-Filling Transformations of Vector Equilibrium

In the closest packing of spheres, there are only
two symmetric shapes
occurring in the spaces between the spheres. They are
what we call the concave
octahedron and the concave vector equilibrium. One is
an open condition of the vector
equilibrium and the other is a contracted one of the
octahedron. If we take vector
equilibria and compact them, we find that the triangular
faces are occupying a position in
closest packing of a space and that the square faces
are occupying the position in closest
packing of a sphere. (For a further exposition of the
interchange between spheres and
spaces, see illustrations at
Sec. 1032, "Convex and
Concave Sphere Packing Voids.")

When we compact vector equilibria with one another,
we find that two of
their square faces match together. Within a square face,
we have a half octahedron; so
bringing two square faces together produces an internal
octahedron between the two of
them. At the same time, a set of external octahedra
occurs between the triangular faces of
the adjacent vector equilibria.

Tetrahedron Discovers Itself and Universe

The initial self-and-other spherical associability
(see Sec. 401 and illustration
401 produced first, associability; next, triangulation
as structure; and then, tetrahedron
as system. The inherent self-stretch-apartness reaction
identified as mass attraction, and
the inherent otherness of awareness, and the discovery
of the self through the otherness, as
a consequence of which awareness of relatedness, and
curiosity about the interrelatedness
of further unprecedented self-and-otherness discoveries,
all initiate the tetrahedron's self-
discovering that it can turn itself inside out by employing
the masscoherent integrity of any
three spheres's intergeared frictionality to swallow
involutingly the fourth sphere through
the three's central passage and to extrude it evolutingly
outward again on the other side.
