Demonstration of math for Segmented Helices

Demonstration of free functionality (runs in browser) here: https://pubinv.github.io/segmented-helixes/index.html. I demonstrate interactive 3D code that exploits mathematics to develop segmented helices directly from repeated subunits based on an algorithm by Peter Kahn and reifying Lord's Observation. For perhaps the first time (please inform me at read.robert@gmail.com if I am wrong), we have the math to build a table of all the "Platonic helices", or in fact any arbitrary structure repeated to form a helix. Public Invention believes in "working in the light" and everything we do is Free-libre Open Source. We invite contributors to help finish this work.
