Analysis of the face Laplacian on a 14-face truncated octahedron
Examination of irreducible representations of O_h
Calculation of wavelength ratio from derived spectral data
Identification of 7 spectral bands corresponding to irreducible representations

Integration within the framework of Unified Foam Field Theory

Abstract

The 7 irreducible representations of Oₕ acting on the 14-face representation of the truncated octahedron map to 7 spectral bands. The base wavelength ratio λₘax²/χ = CA⁴/2 = 40. 5 is derived from the face Laplacian spectrum. Part XLVIII of the Unified Foam Field Theory.
