Here are three Cyclons derived from the projections of three polyhedra: Icosahedron, Dodecahedron and Icosidodecahedron. Shadows of faces spun into splines in Flatlands A, B, and C. The coordinates of these polyhedra were enumerated by Hess. They are: 0, ± 1, ± Tau, ±1/Tau. Tau, the golden ratio = (1+sqrt(5))/2 or 1.618...

This Cyclon is derived from the projections of three polyhedra: Icosahedron, Dodecahedron and Icosidodecahedron onto a plane perpendicular to the vertex axis of an Icosahedron.
