A bit later..... Of course, a bit of Velcro here and there (like along edges) might be quite advisable.... In fact, any "polyhedral pillows" construction set...
I was fiddling around with my Mag-Blocks, which are MITEs and making COUPLERs. I have always recognized COUPLERs as all-space fillers. What I did not realize...
... We knew that from http://www.steelpillow.com/polyhedra/AHD/chart_lg.gif ... Well, that's what happen when you flatten one of the dimensions of the oct-tet...
I am not sure "we" knew that, as per Inchbald's chart. Obviously, RITEs or COUPLERs fill all space. I had not seen nor does the Inchbald chart illustrate that...
Frank Zubek makes it simple: He would halve the volume of the coupler by shrinking the two big dimensions by a factor of SQRT(1/2), leaving the third smaller...
Methinks you give Zubek way too much credit. Firstly, he seems to think that no one ever knew that there was regular octahedron inside of a coupler. He is dead...

I'll weigh in guessing, with a "no", because there's no filling deficit involved with circles. They go six around one and that's it; there's no "slop"...
