Statement

This work is a collaborative effort based on internet communications. I have never met Grayham Forscutt in person, but he knows very well the significance of this work. The three tetrahedra are named U,V and W. They are scaled by phi or 1.618034 to make them larger or smaller. The previous two volumes of sequential tetrahedra add up to the next larger. This helix never folds upon itself and expands infinitely. If we give the volume of U to be 1.000000 unit, then the V is 1.618034 units and the W is the sum to the previous two at 2.618034. This progression goes infinitely both larger and smaller as the tetrahedron are scaled by phi. David Koski http://koskiskiosk.com YouTube https://www.youtube.com/user/dekay5555555
