Trying again. ASCII art was never my forte.
Note this is simplistic. Every hexagon is guaranteed six immediate
neighbors, yes, but the relationship to the 8 compass directions is a
variable. For example, if the geographic north pole (axis of spin) is
at the center of a hexagon, every radial movement is "South". We
might color code the six slices of 360 (60 degree wedges), and put
these colors at the 8 points we sometimes see N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W,
NW.
The word Hexa-Pent is from one of the Fuller patents (long expired)
