ABSTRACT:
The invention is a system and set of intercleaving (interfitting and adhering/clinging) toy or real polyhedral construction elements which may be implemented either directly in physical form or indirectly in a virtual reality via the hardware of a computer system. These construction elements may be used as structural elements, building blocks, modeling elements, or the like. Each element of the invention has the ability to be interfitted with other complimentary elements in a mutually intercleaving manner along the coincident edges (edgesets) of sets of edge-aligned diagonally adjacent pyramidal/polyhedral members which, while connected along an innermost portion of those edgesets for structural stability, have been separated/difurcated along an outermost portion of those same edgesets in order to facilitate, along with resulting pyramidal/polyhedral recesses, their interfitting. These generally polyhedral construction elements may also be projected into spherical/ellipsoidal forms while retaining the basic characteristics of their underlying polyhedron-based definitions.
