GEODESIC GEOMETRY

Fractal Patterns In Nature

General patterns from Buckminster Fuller –

Synergetics ‘75

*Triangles – Tetrahedrons – hexagon grids – Spheres –

Spirals - Tensegrity - Polyhedrons – whole circles – branching – Elements – minerals – life – Mandala: centered-circle

List taken from Heaven & Earth –

Unseen by Naked Eye Book by Phaidon 2003

From the Smallest to larger Dimensions:

Uranium – uranyl acetate 50 millionth mags

DNA – spiral-helix (tensegrity nanotube?)

Silicon crystal hexagrid 25 mill X

Hep B Virus – sphere – hexa-clusters

Skeleton muscle X-section – hexagrid

Staph bacteria – sphere – hexa cluster

Coccolitho – diatom exoskeleton hexagrid sphere

CO2 = dry ice crystals = chaotic tetras

Swedish ivy pollen grain – hexagrid surface

Snowflake = hexagrid branching fractal pattern

Moss protoplast – sphere

Knotweed pollen grain – hexagrid sphere

Radiolarian exo-skeleton (amoeba) hexa grid

Heliozoan amoeba – hexagrid sphere

Eggshell (Cal.Carb) Tensegrity web

Root & leaf hairs & collagen – spiral string fibers

Branches & roots - branching-up & down

Bee, fly & insect eyes – hexagrid semi-sphere

Olive leaf scale – Mandala

Bone tissue - x-section – hexagrid

Wood cells - x-section – octetruss (hexa) grid

Meteorite – 3-D hexagrid of grains

Female egg – sphere

Blood vessels – lymph & organ system - branching

Reptile skin, mollusk & seashells – geodesic/spirals

Rotifer colony of aqua-species – Mandala

Grass cells – hexagrid clustering

Volvox – multi-cells & colony – hexa-spiral grid

Spider (silk) web - tensegrity

Limestone – hexagrid cluster, sand & aquatic

Deposits of calcium carbonate

Leaf veins – Tensegrity – geodesic branching

Wasps & bees nest – hexagrid

Frog spawn – eggs hexagrid cluster

Dandelion flower of seeds – geodesic cluster

Rainbow trout eggs cluster of hexa-spheres

Screw shell - Tona-galea (& snails) - (Cal.Carb) spiral tube

Most flowers – spiraling or spherical Mandala or hexagrid

Rivers, streams, creeks & rivulets – branching

Ridges of mountains – branching down along peaks of land

Hurricanes, typhoons & tornadoes – spiraling dynamic patterns around Thru torusphere with axis of rotating energy field effects

Volcano – a mountain or surface crack that emits: gas, ash, lava or

fire Vol. Mtn. is torusphere of vertical axis into earth of energy

field effects

Geodesic shapes & patterns of natural energy

> Triangles – 3 sided shapes, solid, liquid or colloid -suspending

> Tetrahedrons – 4 equal size triangles form a pyramid

> Hexagon grids – 6 triangles together or 6 equal sided polygon

> Spheres – a round ball shaped orb, nearly perfectly symmetrical

> Spirals – a coil patterns around axis, screwing from center out/in

> Tensegrity - a tension structure of triangles suspected together

>Polyhedrons – any shape of symmetrical 3-D patterns in space

simplist is Tetrahedron to complex multi grid solids

> Whole circles – span around a sphere, egg, polyhedron or tube

>Branching – the natural pattern of growing tissue up, down, oveer,

constantly happening circulating inner energy thru

> Elements – 4 primal elements of air, fire, water & earth,& 92 of

natural chemical substances atoms

> Minerals – naturally occurring crystals, from clay to heavy metals

>Life – all living cells, tissue & sensitive mediums, collagen, water,

microbes, hair, bones, teeth, nails, horns & enzymes

>Mandala: - around symmetrical spherical shape of circle around a

center like wheel with spokes & axis, flowers, meditation, target, etc

> Torusphere – natural donut-shape around spinning axis of balancing like: plants/trees roots into earth , trunk & branches circulating sap
