Abstract:
1. An information processing method for transferring information held on a start face, onto an end face, the method comprising: dividing the start face into a plurality of divisional start faces that are contiguous with one another, the start face being an entire surface of a tetrahedron and the divisional start faces being tetrahedral faces, each divisional start face being defined by one or more lines and points; dividing the end face into a plurality of divisional end faces that collectively fill the end face; using a computer to deform each divisional start face to fit a corresponding one of the divisional end faces such that the one or more lines and points defining each divisional end face are maintained as lines and points on the end face, wherein a first area ratio between each divisional start face relative to the entire start face is substantially equal to a second area ratio between each divisional end face relative to the entire end face; and integrating some of the divisional start faces onto an integral plane that is a cross-sectional plane defined by vertices that are midpoints of edges of the divisional start faces and sides that connect the vertices, wherein some of the divisional start faces integrated onto the integral plane comprise the entirety of the divisional start faces located on one side of the integral plane.
