With Type A triangles as the sectors of their faces and their internal triangles, the five Platonic solids have 1820 yods surrounding their centres, according to the table on the previous page giving their yod populations. As 1820 = 70×26, this number is the sum of the number value 26 of the Godname YAHWEH assigned to the 70 yods in the Tree of Life. This illustrates the generative power of this well-known Name of God. It also demonstrates the holistic nature of the five Platonic solids.

The average number of yods surrounding the centres of the five Platonic solids with Type B interiors = 1820/5 = 364 = 4×91 = 2²(1² + 2² + 3² + 4² + 5² + 6²) = 2² + 4² + 6² + 8² + 10² + 12². This should be compared with the average number of yods in their faces, which was found on the previous page to be 164 = 3² + 5² + 7² + 9². These beautiful properties revealed by the tetractys demonstrate the sacred nature of the five Platonic solids.
