The Geometry of Closed Packed Spheres
The Geometry of Closed Packed SpheresMission statement: To change minds, to open eyes, to educate and inspire people designing and building better worlds. Beauty makes beautiful things beautiful! A sphere can be completely surrounded by exactly twelve other identical spheres. Close-packing of spheres helps us explore the shape of the physical space. A good design of a 3D structure shall obey the principles, freedom, and constraints imposed by the physical space around us.

18. The Square Roots Spiral 18.10.2024 13:32
The document explores the concept of incommensurability in mathematics, focusing on the relationship between numbers and their square roots. It introduces the square root s spiral as a visual representation of incommensurable magnitudes. The text then contrasts the square roots spiral with two other well-known spirals: the logarithmic spiral and the Archimedean spiral . It details the const...
17. Lines Patterns in Space 17.10.2024 8:06
The text discusses the concept of straight lines in CPS Geometry, a system where points are infinitesimal spheres arranged in a specific pattern. It explores the concept of lines as patterns that extend infinitely in both directions and can be defined by any two points in the space. The text then investigates patterns formed by lines emanating from a central point, analyzing these patterns based o...
16. The Fibonacci Sequence 16.10.2024 8:06
The source explains the connection between the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Ratio , also known as the Golden Section . The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers (e.g., 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8). The Golden Ratio is an irrational number, approximately 1.618, that appears in various natural and mathematical phenomena. The source shows th...
15. The Golden Section 11.10.2024 8:55
The text explores the Golden Ratio , also known as the Golden Section , and its significance in classical geometry. It highlights three primary ways the Golden Ratio manifests itself: through Euclid's definition of dividing a line into extreme and mean ratio, in the construction of a regular pentagon , and as a key element in constructing an icosahedron . The text emphasizes the fractal nat...
14. Similarity Theorem in CPS Geometry 10.10.2024 7:24
The source explores the concept of similarity in geometry, arguing that traditional Euclidean geometry’s reliance on the parallel postulate is not the most fundamental approach. Instead, the source proposes a "CPS Geometry" based on the close-packing of spheres, where similarity arises from the inherent patterns and structures within this arrangement. This framework introduces the idea of "quantiz...
13. Archimedean Solids 09.10.2024 8:24
The text describes the 13 Archimedean solids in terms of their relationship to the close-packing of spheres (CPS) arrangement. The author explains how these semi-regular polyhedrons, such as the cuboctahedron, truncated tetrahedron, and truncated icosahedron, can be constructed by manipulating Platonic solids within the framework of CPS. The text emphasizes that the CPS arrangement, where points a...
12. The Rhombic Dodecahedron in CPS 07.10.2024 11:04
This excerpt from "12-The Rhombic Dodecahedron in CPS.pdf" explores the presence of the rhombic dodecahedron in the Close Packing of Spheres (CPS) model. It argues that the shape of the rhombic dodecahedron, a space-filling form, emerges from a multitude of spheres arranged in a specific pattern. The text then connects this pattern to the concept of minimum surfaces, exemplified by soap films, dem...
11. Platonic Solids in CPS Geometry 04.10.2024 6:23
This source discusses the five Platonic solids, or perfect bodies: the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron. The author argues that these solids are not mystical, but rather can be explained using the principle of close-packing of spheres in a specific arrangement called the CPS Space. The source presents detailed patterns and structures of the Platonic solids within the CP...
10. Close Packing of Spheres 03.10.2024 10:52
The text explains the concept of close packing of spheres, a principle that describes how spheres can be arranged in three-dimensional space to achieve the densest possible packing. It highlights the two primary lattice patterns used in this arrangement: the square lattice and the hexagonal lattice. The text then explores the relationships between these patterns, including how they relate to ortho...
09. CPS Geometry 02.10.2024 9:53
The provided text introduces Closed Packed Spheres (CPS) Geometry , an alternative geometric system that challenges traditional Euclidean geometry. Unlike Euclidean geometry, which defines points as dimensionless and structureless, CPS Geometry views points as infinitesimally small, identical spheres arranged in a close-packed pattern. This arrangement allows for the natural emergence of lines, s...
08. The Mental-Experimental Method 01.10.2024 5:46
The source criticizes the axiomatic method of Euclidean geometry, arguing that it stifles creativity and prevents discovery by imposing a rigid, bureaucratic system. It proposes instead a "Mental-Experimental Method" that relies on mental visualization and experimentation to understand geometric principles. The author advocates for a more intuitive and experiential approach to geometry, exemplifie...
07. The Dialectic Process 30.09.2024 6:22
The text draws a parallel between the incommensurability of the square root of two and the distribution of prime numbers , arguing that neither can be fully understood or expressed using simple patterns. The author then references Plato's dialectic method , which utilizes a series of hypotheses to reach a higher understanding of knowledge. This method is seen as analogous to the process of ...
06. The Incommensurables – Arithmetical Proof 28.09.2024 4:24
The provided text explores the concept of incommensurability , specifically focusing on the square root of 2 . The text outlines two methods for understanding incommensurability: a geometric approach that is intuitive but potentially less rigorous, and an arithmetical approach that uses logic and number theory to provide a more formal proof. The arithmetical approach is illustrated by the p...
05. The Incommensurables – Geometrical Proof 27.09.2024 3:57
The text discusses the discovery of incommensurable magnitudes , a fundamental concept in mathematics. This discovery, made by the Pythagoreans, demonstrated that not all line segments can be measured using a common unit of length. The text uses the example of a square's diagonal and its side to illustrate this concept. The process of repeatedly trying to find a common unit of length between the...
