I’ve been in love with biotensegrity from the git-go, and so therefore smitten with the models of Tom Flemons Intension designs . Tom has found sophisticated ways to model the foot, knee, pelvis, and spine (whether accurately or not, only time will tell, but interestingly for sure). The cranium, however, was always a cartoon, just a round tensegrity sphere on top. Of course, the cranium is far more complicated and influential than just a happy face on top of our ever-so-complex tension dependent structure.
But now Graham Scarr, an English osteopath whom I met at the Ulm Dissection Conference, has proposed a way in which the dural membranes can be seen to hold the bones of the neurocranium apart as well as playing a leading role – as we knew they did, but this provides such an interesting mechanism – in the bone growth and shaping.
More on this soon, but here is a link: Tensegrity in the Cranial Vault
