“The saddle figure must be generated from an existing network of lines. It is a problem of partitioning some fundamental volumetric region or set of regions with saddle faces to form a space filling figure or a set of space filling figures. We shall refer to this fundamental spatial region [or set of regions] as the interstitial domain of the network. The interstitial domain is formed by spanning with a minimal surface the group of polygonal circuits that a nonintersecting set will combine to from closed polyhedra.”
Peter Pearce, describing Saddle Surface Geometry
