The series represents the four elements that are on the extreme ends of how we look at a sphere morphing from the perspective of an atom measuring scale on the “Zing Diagram”, a diagram used as the foundation of an alternative classification system developed by the founders of the Gömböc. In this layout, the elements are repeated in a grid used in game-making called a “sprite” which is the optimal way to include 2D moving images into game buttons.
