MATHEMATICS, IS LIKE... AND IS NOT LIKE...

		The bubble cell is the closest model for the three-dimensional chambered structure that can accomodate the constraints for the breathing chambers of the developing lungs, first, the tree-branching organic irregular growth patterns, and second, the necessity for the maximum surface contact between body and air, that is, the closest packing of chambered structures within the volume of the human chest.
		The three-dimensional structure that fulfilles these limitations is the fourteen faceted truncated tetrahedron. R. Buckminster Fuller, in "The Conceptuality of Fundamental Structures", demonstrated that the most stable packing of spheres describes a tetrahedron The organization of all pneumatic structures is based on the sixty degree angular coordination within the tetrahedron. " We next discovered that all life cell structures (no matter how complex the total association may be) and all bubble complexes are characterized by 14 faceted, webbed chambers, the 14 facets being of an infinite variety of asymetrical polygon sizings but always of 14 facets. These 14 facets are then to be identified with the tetrahedron's 4 faces plus 6 edges plus 4 vertexes which prime aspects total 14."
