I believe this idea is not new - Buckminster Fuller proposed this and other
ideas many years ago. You can find very thorough treatment of a lot of
advanced thinking in his works. He postulated that the universe was based on
certain geometric structures, and that all that is could be derived from a
few simple constructs.
In fact his "geodesic domes" are the result of this idea. A 20 sided dice
sounds like an icosahedron. Fuller points out I believe (it's been awhile
since I read him, my entire library was tragically lost some time ago
including a large hard cover edition of his book "Patents", and an
autographed first edition of "Operating Manual For Spaceship Earth")
For a very complete and thorough treatment of this advanced geometry /
universe / infinity / structure concepts - see "Synergetics" both I and II,
by R. Buckminster Fuller. All his other books are most enlightening as well,
and the others are not nearly as dry and math intensive as Synergetics.
This guy was way ahead of his time - and understood much more than most about
the universe. He also had a very practical, and pragmatic approach and
perspective which is still valid now.
