Cosmic Hierarchy and Radiant Protons
There seems to be a strange common bond between Buckmister Fuller’s ideas, schemas and and graphical models and the visionary output of Paul Laffoley.
Take for example Bucky Fuller’s Cosmic Hierarchy of Omniinterationally-phased, Nuclear-centered, Convergently-divergently Intertransformable Systems!
Then compare with some of titles of the Laffoley’s Output, ‘Geochronmechane – The Time Machine from the Earth’ and ‘Dimensionality – the manifestation of Fate’
More importantly both infuse their visionary manifestos with complex geometric thinking applying it to ideas of interconnected universality and utopian ideals.
Synergetics – Explorations in the Geometry of Thinking by Fuller is online in its entirety and makes for a supreme matho-socio-poetic read.
Also check out the plates
Finally ‘An Octave of Polyhedra’ is a javatronic program by R W Gray that allows you to interactively explore Fuller’s concept of a Cosmic Hierarchy of Nested Polyhedra!
Off you go!

I hadn’t seen Bucky’s ‘Cosmic Hierarchy of Omniinterationally-phased, Nuclear-centered, Convergently-divergently Intertransformable Systems!’ before, thanks. Rob

Fascinating. I teach about cosmic hierarchies from a mystical perspective. Interesting to see them being discussed from the perspective of physics.
