Hexaflex the Quest

Exciting things are beginning to manifest.
I have been trying, for the last seven years, to find where this simple "Hexaflex" lattice could be found in Nature.

I have found similarities to it in Sodalite, butterfly wing scales and capsid geometry.

My very recent research has led me to graphite which appears to be an exact fit. I have been unable to find any information which points to the knowledge of this discovery. It still appears to be unknown to Acedamia. I am keen to get a second opinion.

The Hawaiian Green Turtle

These unique hand made sculptures are derived from a geometry between the hexagon and the square to create the shell of the Hawaiian Green Turtle. Serendipitously, the resulting geometry has the perfect openings for the wooden head and limbs to be placed. Only local Hawaiian woods such as koa, mango, milo, mac-nut and lychee are used.

The Hawaiian green turtle is an important symbol in the mythology of Hawaiian culture.

The Honu is a Hawaiian symbol of creation, longevity, peace and the spirit within.

In Chinese mythology, the sea turtle also represents wisdom. The shell of the turtle is said to have the markings of heaven and earth upon it. It is also said that the Turtle had risen from the depths with the markings of the eight trigrams on its back. These are used in the I Ching and the Bagwa.

The sea turtle mirrors the health of our planet and the struggle for survival for these ancient creatures is in our own hands.
