The following content failed to make it to the web archives. I'm unsure if Joe got my reply, but I think so, given I got his to me. This exchange was with respect to something that was published, one of my many renderings of
a so-called "paradox".

>We have an algorithm for omni-triangulating a sphere with more and more triangles. Even if we toss out the paradox at the end, here's some educational meat, some substance (to go over this topic).
Can you provide a link to a picture of this?
Thanks

Sure, these geodesic spheres on the left show the number of triangles increasing as a function of "frequency" (the number of intervals along each edge.
