Work after the SuperCubeSphere led to a broader look at Buckminster Fuller's quanta modules. Different spatial arrangements of tetrahedral geometries within polyhedral symmetry groups produced new configurations. A-QuantaMill is an octahedral arrangement of the pyramidal quanta shape. The study examines quanta modules as defined by Fuller, with emphasis on how tetrahedral geometries sit in polyhedral symmetry groups. It extends the SuperCubeSphere work into further quanta-based territory. Each assignment of tetrahedra to symmetry groups yields a specific spatial configuration; the A-QuantaMill layout is octahedral.

Research:
Fuller's quanta module definitions place tetrahedral geometries in polyhedral symmetry groups. Each assignment produces a specific spatial configuration; the A-QuantaMill configuration is octahedral. The process is systematic over symmetry groups and tetrahedral placements, with the goal of mapping which arrangements are stable and geometrically coherent.
