HYPERGRANATOÈDRE (# 3DSPIRIT) Maths Art Design

The Genesis of the Project: Everyone knows the dice at 4, 6, 8, 12 or 20 faces: these are the five famous solids of Plato. In ancient times these solids symbolized the five elements: the tetrahedron represented fire, the cube the earth, the octahedron the air (or the wind), the icosahedron the water and the dodecahedron the space (or the ether). The Buddhist tradition adds a sixth element: the spirit. Since what object could symbolize the spirit? An immersion in the dimension 4 universe brought out the idea: the 4D equivalents of the Platonic solids exist and are 6: five are associated with them: thus the hypercube is associated with the cube, the hypertextahedron is associated with the tetrahedron (etc ...). But what to do with the sixth polytope (yes that's what we call the "solid" in 4D) Damn, but it's of course I said to myself inside and at the bottom of my couch: this orphan polytope would finally be delivered from his soli (you) abyssal! The HYPERGRANATOÈDRE (sorry but it's one of his little names) is empowered to symbolize the sixth element that is the spirit ... The hypergranatoèdre is the perfect symbol of the 3DSPIRIT!
