#13 The eight types of polygons formed by vertices of the disdyakis triacontahedron embody the human axial & appendicular skeletons
The human skeleton is encoded in the disdyakis triacontahedron, which is the polyhedral version of the Yin, or cosmic feminine, aspect of the Tree of Life (see here). The 60 vertices that surround an axis passing through two opposite vertices of the disdyakis triacontahedron are the corners of polygons perpendicular to the axis. There are 15 polygons when the axis passes through two C vertices (see here). Table 2 shows the numbers of yods in the eight polygons making up one half of the disdyakis triacontahedron.

There are 41 yods at the corners of their 33 tetractys sectors and 165 hexagonal yods, a total of 206 yods. The latter is made up of 34 vertices of the 27 tetractyses in the first seven polygons above the hexagon in the central plane and 172 yods that are either hexagonal yods (165) or corners of the tetractyses in the central hexagon. Compare this with the facts that the axial skeleton of the human body has 34 single bones and that 172 bones in the axial and appendicular skeletons exist in pairs — 46 in the axial skeleton and 126 in the appendicular skeleton (Fig. 24). The corners and centres of the seven polygons above the central plane of the polyhedron symbolise the single bones of the axial skeleton. It is truly remarkable that the bone composition of the body should be defined by the yods needed to construct from tetractyses the eight polygons in half the disdyakis triacontahedron! This correspondence is evidence that the human body — the Malkuth level of the Tree of Life — conforms to the cosmic blueprint, of which this Catalan solid is the polyhedral realisation. Its skeletal form is not the culmination of blind forces and random events in the Earth's past. Man is made in the "image of God" and his body reflects the numerical pattern of God's mathematically perfect design, as manifested in sacred geometries such as the disdyakis triacontahedron.
Article 32 & Article 33 discuss aspects of the human skeleton as the physical, macroscopic realization of the outer Tree of Life.
