This research explores the geometry of tetrads and their implications for gravitational interactions.
The tetrad (vierbein) is the local orthonormal frame on which the coupling of gravity to fermionic matter depends, yet its coordinate-space geometry has not, to our knowledge, been examined. Deriving four oriented half-space inequalities from the spatial sector of a single orthonormal tetrad, the 2^4 = 16 possible sign combinations yield exactly two bounded regions. The bounded pair form a stellated octahedron whose boundary decomposes into sixteen independent channels. No dual frame is introduced; the orientation-reversed tetrahedral sector emerges as the unique second bounded region of the same single-tetrad construction. All structural constants of the resulting geometry reduce to two integers: the number of tetrahedral faces K = 4 and the spatial dimension D = 3. A numerical rendering at four million sample points confirms the derived structure.
