convex hull jpgs and wrls of convex hulls from point sets derived by stacking symmetrical polyhedra...

This author believes that every symmetrical polyhedron can be stacked upon itself to make a point set which will generate an unlimited series of derived polyhedron. Below, is some proof of concept for this conjecture.

Here are the first 16 initial convex hulls generated with a point matrix related to stacking a

conclusion/conjecture/algorithm

1 - A point set can be manifested by a polyhedron.
2 - That point set can be scaled into either a 1x1x1 or 2x2x2..."unit cell".
3 - The unit cell can be exploded into a larger point set.
4 - Any exploded point set can be combinded with any other exploded point set.
5 - Any combination of exploded point sets can be "serialized"...
      [ made into a unique unlimited series of polyhedron ].
6 - ANY exploded point set can be automated to generate these unlimited series of convex hulls.
       [ where each unique point distance from 0,0,0...is given a consecutive integer reference number. ]
