Preview of Periodic Table of Structural Interconnectedness
The idea of containment to show the interconnectedness of the Five Platonic solids can be expanded into 20 initial pairings which I call a 'periodic table'. Like the periodic table of elements, this one shows the relationships that exist among the parts.
Icosahedron as Outside Container

The volume difference between the outside and inside system is divided symmetrically into modular building patterns. Each module can be found by using the basic tool kit of Newtools geometry.
