hey all,
According to the video below from TED, at least mammalian brains seem to use a triangular grid to map locations. It appears that the neurons in the hippocampus fire when we perceive that we are in a particular spot, and when you graph these spots, they are laid out in triangular grids! OK, so what, right? Well, good ol' Bucky Fuller figured that nature abhorred the rectilinear grids that humans have for some reason latched onto. He argued that space could actually be best represented as triangular or tetrahedral.
More later.
Cheers,
