for those who may be interested....i've been building the nested
spheares within each other with wooden dowels....it is interesting
that with all the shapes you can easily affix the nodes of the
previous shape to either the nodes or 'arms' of the next shape to get
your nested 'model'....however once you come to building the
icosahedron with the dodecahedron nested in that, you can do it,
unless you shrink the size of the icosahedron or use additional
supports...physically the the nodes of the dodecahedron rest or meet
at the centre of the triangle planes of the icosahedron...there's
likely some interesting parallels in terms of consciousness....amongst
other things as well
