- wow, you're quick! Do you mind if I use these on a blog post later? I'll cite you and link to whatever you want.
I'm glad it worked out.
Lastly, I predict that if you do this Galois transformation to the "great dodecahedron" you get the "small stellated polyhedron" - they're both shown here, with links for more:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler%E2%80%93Poinsot_polyhedron
The great dodecahedron has exactly the same vertices AND EDGES as the regular icosahedron. The only difference is that its faces are defined to be the regular pentagons formed by 5 edges of the icosahedron.
Since your images only show vertices and edges, 𝓙. 𝓜. (npub1xpp…jhfc), there's nothing new to see here (unless you can implement faces).
