The virus itself would be based on one of the platonic solids in Sacred Geometry. Using Platonic solids is very appropriate in this case because in nature, many objects, organisms or artifacts are founded or created using these fundamental shapes. (For info on platonic solids follow the link in my first journal entry). Platonic solids are found in things like snowflakes, honeycombs, cells, actual viruses, crystalline structures and even DNA. The particular platonic solid I chose is an Octahedron. It is shown in the image below. The image is a 3D rendering I created using the CAD software Solidworks.

These octahedrons can be combined in many numbers because the angles are all the same. They fit together in multiple directions to create a three dimensional tessalation, as opposed to a 2D one.

Although it may seem like a random get together of Ocatahedrons, there is a method to the madness. When viewed from the right angle, one can see that the three octahedrons actually form a projected hexagon. This hexagon is just the next step in the evolution of the virus as it replicates itself further. In essence, one can project this 3D oscillation unto a plane and a 2D oscillation is born. The virus could potentially replace the DNA (if an organism) or programming code (if a machine) of another, making that other subject change its shape so that it could conform to the octahedron lattice. One it is part of a lattice, the newly converted subject can implant its DNA in other subject. The power of the virus grows greater becuase not only is it converting other subject, but it is growing in size and becoming effectively a supervirus of sorts, making it a formidable threat. It is even possible that the larger virus (combined octahedrons) could mutate its DNA/Code so that its future subject are also converted to superviruses, making it a self propogating growth on two levels, by population and by size.
