The breakthrough consists of nesting polyhedra (an ancient game) such that whole number volumes emerge, thanks to new emphasis on the tetrahedron as the most topologically primitive volume (spheres, in the other hand, aren't defined as such, as it's a discrete geometry with no continuaa, no solids that we're talking here).
Klein considered the tetrahedron the most topologically primitive volume - as I think I demonstrated to you by direct quote. Its like literally Page 1 of the book of his I reference on my site. He quickly also makes the connection to interesting analytics and abstraction from this ground. Unless we have a semantic disconnect. Or unless you haven't conducted the study to truly understand some of the historical development of the ideas floating about here. "New" is a suspicious word, not a sacred word, in my lexicon - in any case. Art
