Space Filling Polyhedra

[jackixo]

I used to follow this group in the late 80's early 90's and I remember
someone talking about "space filling polyhedra." I want to use it in a
story and I like to attribute it properly. This is the text:

"Image little cubes -- or maybe octahedrons -- where each
face has a little arm on it. They grab onto their neighbor and if they
hold
tight, they make rods or rigid sheets or other solid structures. If
they
hold loosely, then you get fibers or flexible sheets or even gels."

If can you help me, please drop me a line at ***@gmail.com.

I'm not sure, but perhaps the text you have was in reference to something
proposed by Forrest Bishop and described in this document:

"The Construction and Utilization of Space Filling Polyhedra
for Active Mesostructures"

That's it. Thanks very much.
