Abstract:
1. A continuous connexing surface configured to be partitioned into a plurality of abutting spatial components, wherein the connexing surface is defined by a periodic planar lattice, wherein the connexing surface defines a mating plane and an orthogonal mating direction, and wherein the lattice is defined in a plane parallel to the mating plane, the connexing surface comprising: a plurality of substantially identical positive form sectored elements comprising nodes of the lattice; at least one connecting member extending between and connecting the positive form sectored elements; and a plurality of negative form sectored elements at least partially defined by at least one of (a) the adjacent positive form sectored elements or (b) the adjacent connecting members, wherein each negative form sectored element comprises an open space extending through the connexing surface in the orthogonal mating direction, wherein each spatial component comprises at least: and wherein the connexing surface is configured to interlock with at least a portion of a substantially identical connexing surface with positive form sectored elements of one connexing surface configured to mate with negative form sectored elements of the other connexing surface.
