(4) DISTINCT CHARACTERISTICS
      OF
      EACH OF THE (5) STRUCTURES. (CONT'D.)

THE "OOO"-TYPE STRUCTURE.
This structure has (2) characteristics, as itemized below.

-1): In each of its (3) stacks:
      any (2) adjacent fabrics are mirror-imaged, or opposite.

-2): It is non-handed.

A stack constituted as in -1)
is called an "O" - type stack; "O" for opposite.

The constitution of each of the (3) stacks in the structure
determines its designation: "OOO".

Explanation for -1):
For an example of (2) mirror-imaged fabrics see Fig. -5(f).

These fabrics are mirror-imaged because
all the "corresponding crossings" are mirror-imaged.
(A typical group of corresponding crossings
has been designated by the marker-circles.)

The crossings in that group are mirror-imaged because
in one crossing
the "a"-element crosses over the "b"-element
&
in the other crossing
the "a"-element crosses under the "b"- element.

Explanation for -2):
This structure has no opposite-handed mate,
and therefore it is non-handed.

The structure contains left- & right-handed nodes,
like those shown in Fig's. -5(c) & -5(d) respectively.
They are interdispersed among each other in a manner
as shown schematically in Fig. -5(e).

These left- & right-handed nodes are
interdispersed among each other
to the maximal degree.
Such an interdispersement is maximally even;
each node is then abutted only by
opposite-handed nodes.
That interdispersement is also a 3D-analog of
the interdispersement among each other

exhibited by black & white checkerboard-squares.
