Well, the reason I said that, is because Carl Lumma once posted
the URL of a graphic that showed the interlocking of parts in
a geodesic design by Fuller, which we would recognize as (if I
recall correctly) a hexany and a diamond 'doing it' (Carl's words).

This was part of a website devoted to Fuller's work. I saved it
on my hard drive, but looked for it on my hard drive and in my
'favorites' and couldn't find it, but a search on AltaVista should
turn it up.
