Truncated Rhombic Dodecahedron - A rhombic dodecahedron with either or both its vertices and edges sliced off along a plane. In Reflexive Materials
Technologies (RMT technologies), a TRD is a rhombic dodecahedron with its tetra-edge vertices removed. |

Void Array - The pattern of spaces between particles or other units in a
compact, such as a close-packing of spheres or TRDs. In RMT technologies, emplacements of three-dimensional zones through which mechanical
forces are not transmitted. A void can be empty, or it can be filled with a
material that is less stiff than the primary material of a structure engineered with RMT technologies. |

Octet Truss - The combination of intersecting or interconnecting units, such as rods or bars, organized as interdependent tetrahedra and octahedra in a 2:1 ratio. The internal skeleton of a structure engineered with RMT technologies™. Voids make structures engineered with RMT technologies lighter and operate with the skeleton (octet truss) to induce a balanced distribution of load. |

UniSemble lattice - A UniSemble lattice is a packing of 13 TRDs. The voids in a UniSemble lattice account for a minimum of 5% of the volume of the structure. |

UniCore lattice- A UniCore lattice is a packing of 12 TRDs. It is a UniSemble lattice with the center TRD removed. In a UniCore lattice, every fourth figurative TRD is missing, creating a void. The voids in a UniCore lattice account for a minimum of about 30% of the structure. |

UniFrame framework (3-layers) - The basic UniFrame framework is the edge-wise framework of a packing of
TRDs in the UniSemble lattice. In this image, the cubic voids are colored for ease of orientation. |
