Granted this is a Synergetics maillist, and granted its archives are specific to that, but on the off chance the archives may become available in some future ...
I review the "Blockhead Cube( aka Dweeb Cube )" because I found this *5.010* volumetric/diametric diagonal value between vertexes and because I have...
... Another interesting thought from the below, is how the values 2.8, 4 and 5 are so close to a right-triangle aka doing a 3-4-5 or and 6-8-10 in carpentry...
... I.e. it is the line of axis between opposing vertexial corners of Blokhead Cube. Why does the numerical "5" catch the minds eye? sqrt 5 = 2.2360679775 ...
Dick, I think you are on to something with the roundness ratio, something broader than what the D&D Dice packers stated. You are generalizing, and saying that...
All; any : Test from known evidences: What are the closest packing polyhedra? (Which single, simplest polyhedra tile space?) 'Mite' (?) Cube. Rhombic dodec. ...
A very pertinent location of root2(5) is the diagonal across two squares. This create a right triangle with legs of 1 and 2. Using the Pythagorean theorem. ...
... Not sure why Geometry in your high school should set the standard for all time. All the Euclidean stuff you were taught may be fit in to the above...

I don't think "closest pack" and "space-fill" should be used as synonyms. "Closest pack" implies voids, and trying to minimize those. "Space-fill" implies...
Wow! What a way to say Bucky. I missed your explanation of why you are shying away from even using Bucky's name. I guess I'll back track to find your...
Very cool. What a great find. I wonder if BFI knows about it. I'll email Will. I wonder if someone nearby can go and get close pictures, inside and out. I can...
Good catch. I could have colored the white lengths green since they are all equal, but yes vZome doesn't have that as a designated length so it ends up white....
Hi Lionel RR is the area^3 / volume^2 That's all I know. It is a dimensionless ratio. The idea is to bypass pi, and to have an alternate synergetics algebra...
Approximates a Golden rectangle? 15 of them in Ico., potentially. 3-4-5, or 6-8-10 aprroximates one-half rectangle. No revelations here going on here for me...
Or we can argue about which computer modeller is good to use and which ain't.... For me, the tools that Gerald deJong created were almost perfect (no biases ...

From: "coyote_starship" <kirby.urner@...> Subject: [synergeo] Re: dice ... I said what? "Fill"? (No.... I said "tile"....) (Depending on the modifier ...
... The limitations have significance. They should be recognized for what they inhibit. I wish the Zometool system could do more. It is highly limited, but ...

Now you have me confused.... (I was getting that way early on in this; have had a sneaking suspicion all along re: "mites".) Is there, or is there not, a...
