This invention generally relates to a set of parallelepipedal bodies
(cells) capable of matingly compatible engagement for interconnection, so
as to allow up to three degrees of freedom in the sliding movement of an
individual cell or grouping of cells about a grouping of other
interconnected cells from the set. Each cell may be monolithic or
constructed from six face plates. For cubic and rhombohedral forms, the
face plates are designed to interlock in construction with any other face
plate to form a cell, regardless of the orientation of the face plates. A
first set of cells utilizes a uniform face plate, each cell differing
only in the orientation of this uniform face plate about the other
uniform face plates on the cell. A second set of cells utilizes two
different but matingly compatible face plates. Again, each cell differs
only in the orientation of either of the matingly compatible face plates
about the other face plates on the cell.
