Goldberg Variation
This model resulted from Joe Clinton sending me some chord
factors for a
3-f geodesic inner sphere inside a Goldberg polyhedron: (i.e. all one edge
length). There isn't a widely agreed way of specifying the different
Goldberg polyhedra. Maybe they could be designated as "Goldberg Variation
1, 2,3,4..." etc. in which case, starting from the upper left corner of
the diagram on p.6 of Clinton's Equal Angle Conjecture: To the far right is a four frequency Goldberg inside and six frequency outside - "Goldberg Variation 4-6". (The outside sphere is entirely hexagons and pentagons whose struts are equal lengths.) |
