Arrow Re: Buckminster Fuller

___I agree "Goedel, Escher & Bach" is highly more readable. I had it in mind today when I posted a momnet for Bach; a man who really knew how to count.
___On the topic of counting & Buckminster Fuller, he took the particular view that four is the more significant count over the more accepted three. Casually, Bucky might say "Four is a charm" rather than "three is a charm". More strictly, his division of space into tetrahedrons rather than cubes substantiates mathematically his theories on gravity etc.
___Experts?
