I’m not sure what you mean. The shapes in the article do not have corners by the definition I would use… they do have edges and it left me wondering if you could tile 3d space with edge-free shapes.
- MiddleEndian 2y ago>it left me wondering if you could tile 3d space with edge-free shapes. Probably not, but maybe a 4D space lol
- mdp2021 2y ago> corners by the definition I would use You would speak of "vertexes". Tile a 3d space with cubes: you'll have faces, edges and vertexes. Curve the edges in smooth paths ("with continuous derivatives"): the vertexes disappear. But the equivalent of the 2d "corners" remain, as apparent in the 2d sections: no miracle happens. The interesting part is the induction that by adding a dimension we may lose a "constraint".
