This is just trolling.
Z-pamming... maybe its time to de-Z-pam the thread?

Not quite hit the limit here. But I do ask the culprit to avoid mysticism.
Come on, it's not so mystic. Imagine we are living inside of dense star: the particles moving there will be density fluctuations of its dense interior. We know that these fluctuations will avoid each other, so that they will occupy a body centered cubic lattice of Wigner crystal. We also know that particles are divided into fermions and bosons, and bosons mediate forces between fermions, so that they must always reside between them. The bosons will be very subtle and lightweight at first - but as we would compress the fermions, their effective mass will gradually increase: they will gradually change into a massive particles mediating forces at short distances only. These bosons will start to behave like fermions too and they will start to compete with existing fermions for free space. Where? On the center of connection lines of these fermions - and we get vortices of octahedron.
But our star will collapse further, so that our particles - both bosons, both fermions will be forced to exchange repulsive forces even further. A new generation of bosons will emerge between them - they will mediate forces between both original fermions, both between first generation of resulting bosons. They will also occupy the free places between existing particles - density fluctuations. They will choose vortices of icosahedron, which is platonic inscribed to octahedron. But as you may guess, the collapse of star won't stop there. A new - third generation - of bosons will emerge, they will again separated themselves at free spaces between existing particles: fermions, 1st generation and 2nd generation of bosons. And we get dodecahedral lattice, inscribed to previous dodecahedral one.
The platonic solids are archetypes of sacred geometry of five elements. Dodecahedron is attributed to prana, i.e. aether or vacuum forming fluctuations of dark matter. Icosahedrons are related to water clusters (fluids). Earth is made, on average, from cubes. We can also see tetrahedrons in structure of atom nuclei 1, 2, 3, 4. Inventor and philosopher Itzhak Bentov suggested that the tetrahedron's geometry and associated mathematics apply to the fine structure constant (defined as 1/137) that characterizes the interaction among charged particles comprising the structure and displaying the patterns of all matter.
I already explained here, how this nested packing would apply during formation of planets from protoplanetary disk. Which was also formed by mutually repelling particles (plasma and charged interstellar gas), which occasionally form density fluctuations composed of another density fluctuations. In all started as the military research. During the sixteenth century Thomas Harriot was was asked by Raleigh to find the most efficient way to stack cannonballs on the deck of the ship. At the beginning of the seventeenth century, Harriot exchanged letters with Johannes Kepler and shared his ideas on sphere packings. In 1611, Kepler wrote an essay “Strena Seu de Nive Sexangula”, in which he asserted that “the packing will be the tightest possible, so that in no other arrangement could more pellets be stuffed into the same container”. This assertion became famously known as Kepler’s conjecture.
The fun part is, that dodecahedron is the most complex regular polyhedron available for this packing arrangement - the next regular polyhedra capable to inscribe dodecahedron is cubic lattice, so that with further increase of packing density this arrangement would repeat again recursively. During this nested condensation we will get very dense and compact lattice composed of fermions and all three generations of bosons altogether, so called Leech lattice. This lattice can be constructed in 24-dimensional space as the most compact packing of spheres, the touching points of which will reside at centers of another spheres recursively. A square pyramid of cannon balls contains a square number of cannon balls only when it has 24 cannon balls along its base. If we refrain of recursion, we get E8 lattice in 8-dimensional space. One can achieve more compact packing and tessellation of space with using of combinations of less regular polyhedra, but given the fact that all particles repel themselves mutually, they tend to maintain equal distances between them, so that this arrangement will be less favored at the end.
