Two tetrahedrons form a cube.
The cube expands into a haptihedron. Sometimes I call it a movey.
These are my pet names for the uniform polyhedron technically called a rhombicuboctahedron.
This is a form I envisioned and investigated intensively. (See the story in
Light Body.)
So far, I haven't found references to it elsewhere. It is the inverse of the
Vector Equilibrium (cuboctahedron), a form of great importance to Buckminster
Fuller.
In terms of sacred geometry, this form is a transition to the dodecahedron and icosahedron I'm focused on details of the transition. How can I picture the change? The haptihedron has six great circles arranged orthogonally around the three dimensions of a cube. That is x, y, and z axes or horizontal, vertical, and depth oriented. What makes one circle migrate to make a form with six axes? How does the process of change look from the inside?
