IVM Polyhedron Visualization System

A comprehensive, modular software package for visualizing polyhedrons from the Isotropic Vector Matrix (IVM) coordinate system, based on R. Buckminster Fuller's Synergetics geometry.

🎯 Overview

This comprehensive system implements R. Buckminster Fuller's Synergetics geometry, as described in Noel Coughlin's paper "“Mapping the Vanishing and Reappearing Quanta Points of the IVM’s 6 Axis Metric Upon the Cartesian Coordinate System’s 3 x,y,z axis”.

Core Concepts from the paper

This package provides tools to visualize and understand:

  • 🔄 Sphere-to-Vector Transformation: "When the spheres shrink to 'zero size' the touching points between the spheres become vectors which will have extended to 1 inch. The vectors will now all touch at the 'dimension setting' point"
  • 🏗️ Omni-Concentric Hierarchy: "omni-concentric hierarchy of different sizes and shapes of 6 symmetrical polyhedrons"
  • 🌌 Phase Space Transformations: "the 3 separate spaces, tetrahedral, octahedral and inverted tetrahedral spaces"
  • 📊 Vector/Tensor/Volume Relationships: "energy vectors, gravity tensors and tetrahedral volumes"
  • 📈 Frequency Coordination: "frequency coordinated polyhedral continuums"
  • 🎯 Complete Geometry: "Synergetics geometry provides complete geometry without axiomatic assumptions"

No popups! All visualizations are saved to organized output directories for offline viewing.
