Ahhh, but Bucky was building *in* nature, ontologists are dealing with
abstractions *from* nature, representing things and always imperfectly.
So the analogy is rather with computer graphics, where things are built
up efficiently using triangles, including geodesic domes that appear as
such. (01)

Ahhh, but Bucky practiced a different kind of thinking than is practiced
in the ontology, software and much of the systems community. He knew
that triples are unstable. Notice the difference between layers,
lattices, and geodesic domes. (03)
