		+	**A grid-like structure of rubbery circles supports the interior of the wall, each circle itself made of minute, atomic quanta of elemental energy. All of the known elements seem well-represented, and their energies are channeled in such a way as to maintain the spherical distribution of matter that comprises the sphere's wall. This balance is a paradigm of the physical and mathematical elegance that can arise in nature.
