Geometric shape that is strong / stable with closed form and requires minimum material to make structures and buildings - Fuller dome. If we took anology to ontology, what would happen to relationships? Would they be all same kind as the structural elements of dome? What would be meaning of closure, repeating relations among same objects (iteration?),how would such ontology be described and would it be only a whole-part type?

Not that I can find. I quoted from my old-fashioned 1975 edition.

Odd that we haven't seen more references to Fuller among the many names
dropped into this year's forum discussion. He specialized in big
systems.
