Klein considered the tetrahedron the most topologically primitive volume - as I think I demonstrated to you by direct quote. Its like literally Page 1 of the book of his I reference on my site. He quickly also makes the connection to interesting analytics and abstraction from this ground. Unless we have a semantic disconnect. Or unless you haven't conducted the study to truly understand some of the historical development of the ideas floating about here. "New" is a suspicious word, not a sacred word, in my lexicon - in any case.
