I marvel at the geometry of the natural world, forms sublime and in transition, simple ones and tricky, elusive patterns and interlocking relationships. The Bridges Conference at Pecs inspired me to continue my exploration of lattices that intertwine and fill space. I've divided some earlier shapes into smaller, identical parts that seem like three dimensional fractals. My journey begins at the center of the cube, in the ether, in the spirit, where it can't be divided any more, at least not by us mortals.

I am trying to discover what causes the point at the center of the cube to race for the corners and what causes it to change direction. What did Maraldi know?
