Alan/rybo: Yes, 6-fold polyhedra are flat planes. When hexagons are arranged as inner and outer elements (for example place one hex on a table and surround it...
Jim, does mean that there is no such thing as 3D( not flat 2D ) 6- fold polyhdra i.e. there is no polyhedra that can be spun on its axis and have 6 or more...
Hi rybo, Its the methods for describing symmetry that often leaves me in a daze, such as reflective, mirror, rotational, non-rotational, fold, etc. Jim...

Hi Jim In case I haven't conveyed this link before this, check out the crazy French physicists Petit's wild page on curvature at a point. It may be relevant to...
(My ref. note: Cc: to GeoJourney for archive purposes. I saw Tom a few days ago at our 50th HS class reunion - Springfield, OR) Hi Tom, Google did a pretty...
Hi Dick, Thanks for the reference. I just want you to know that the recent tone at synergeo has been disturbing to me and that I have high regards for your...
Jim, I see your L405 convex tetrahedron, however, ...it is an edge truncated tet. ergo .... it has 10 faces not 4 ergo not a .5 or 2F tet. IMHO Rybp...
Hi rybo, Yes, L405 is an edge truncated tet. We need a different discussion for the .5 aspect that I speak of. Go to page 14 of the PDF and see L1302 and the...
Thanks, Jim I don't know what that was all about. It's all over now. I guess I hit a nerve. Either that or something is going on that I don't know about. I'm...
... Jim, I mispoke, I do see how Pandora is .5F. Also L412 makes it clear to me how the distance from on of the tets. points to the other has value of one( 1 )...
Jim, I was wondering if Frequency is seen as a resultant of subidividing the polyhedron( ergo it edges and faces ) as Fuller suggests, then is'nt your .5...

... My point again( possibly not valid ) is this, Fuller sugegests that we only have Frequencey by subdivsion ergo, can your subsividing of the radius value...
rybo, ... I wonder if you would be willing to follow this with my accounting, then translate, if you wish, back to Fuller's usage? If so, my tetrahedron has an...
Alan, Yes, we have to be clear about whether we are talking about two radius units, making a radius based diameter of 2 or a unit based diameter that has a...
Kirby, Thanks for bringing the non-flat poly back in the scene. My poly that I referred to as the "black cat" (I left a model with you as I recall) I also...
