"# MARTIAN MATH INHERITS FROM *SYNERGETICS*\n",
"\n",
"Richard Buckminster Fuller was a big name futurist and architect throughout the 1900s. The \"alien mathematics\" or \"unfamiliar mathematics\" used in our storyboard draws from his research. The big idea here is making the tetrahedron a centerpiece of the geometry.\n",
