    Jitterbug Animations with Spheres

    When modeled as spheres, the jitterbug transformation produces some curious patterns as the spheres merge and diverge. … Continue reading → Read more

    Spheres and Spaces

    The space between radially close-packed spheres is a continuous web of concave octahedra and concave vector equilibria (VEs). In the vector model, the concave VE is at the center of every octahedron, and the concave octahedron is at the center of every tetrahedron. The former are the spaces that transform into spheres, and the latter… Read more
