“The Structure of Space”
The above title. by one Lee E. Mosley, is from
"CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform;
1st edition (June 4, 2017)."
From the preface —
"So simple . . . ."
"Building blocks"? — See the literature of pop physics.
Natural companions to building blocks, are, of course,
"permutation groups."
See the oeuvre of physics writer John Baez —

The “Diamond Space” of Mazzola
The Source —
Some similar notions from my own work . . .
The "Digraph" of Mazzola might correspond to a directed graph
indicating the structure of a permutation, as at right below —
Mazzola's "Formula" might correpond to a matrix and translation that
transform the above "Space" of eight coordinates, and his "Gesture"
to a different way of generating affine transformations of that space . . .
as in my webpage "Cube Space, 1984-2003."

The Forms of Being
"If the window is this matrix of ambi- or multivalence,
and the bars of the windows-the grid-are what help us
to see, to focus on, this matrix, they are themselves
the symbol of the symbolist work of art. They function as
the multilevel representation through which the work of art
can allude, and even reconstitute, the forms of Being."
— Page 59, Rosalind Krauss, "Grids," MIT Press,
October , Vol. 9 (Summer, 1979), pp. 50-64

Mere Synchronology

in the previous post was noted here by a top 40 music list
from that same date in an earlier year.
Update of 4:07 AM ET the same morning:
Fans of Cormac McCarthy's recent adventures in unreality
might enjoy interpreting the time — 3:25 AM ET — of this post
as the date 3/25, and comparing the logos, both revisited

Physicality
"Battles argues that 'the experience of the physicality
of the book is strongest in large libraries,' and stand
among the glass cube at the center of the British Library,
the stacks upon stacks in Harvard’s Widener Library, or
the domed portico of the Library of Congress and tell me
any differently."

Dice and the Eightfold Cube
At Hiroshima on March 9, 2018, Aitchison discussed another
"hexagonal array" with two added points… not at the center, as
in the Gell-Mann picture above, but rather at the ends of one of
a cube's four diagonal axes of symmetry.
See some related illustrations below.
Fans of the fictional "Transfiguration College" in the play
"Heroes of the Fourth Turning" may recall that August 6,
another Hiroshima date, was the Feast of the Transfiguration.
The exceptional role of 0 and ∞ in Aitchison's diagram is echoed
by the occurence of these symbols in the "knight" labeling of a
Miracle Octad Generator octad —
Transposition of 0 and ∞ in the knight coordinatization
induces the symplectic polarity of PG(3,2) discussed by
(for instance) Anne Duncan in 1968.

Supercube Space
The new URL supercube.space forwards to http://box759.wordpress.com/.
The term supercube is from a 1982 article by Solomon W. Golomb.
The related new URL supercube.group forwards to a page that
describes how the 2x2x2 (or eightfold, or "super") cube's natural
underlying automorphism group is Klein's simple group of order 168.
For further context, see the new URL supercube.art.
For some background, see the phrase Cube Space in this journal.
