> Wot be Cognitive Vertigo But a discussion by people don't know the topic?
> ANY triangle consisting of three joined members (wood or gold, and not
> necessarily straight, or pinned) if supported on a base will "resist" any
> load through any vertex. It is not particularly good at this and much
less
> rigid than a single member of the truss in direct load . Leonardo used
> these a lot. Even made stylish cartoons of same. Called a simple
triangular
> truss. The basis of all space frames.
