I remarked to the TrimTabbers recently, that when I joined academia.edu, and began surveying the Synergetics literature, I was surprised to find how much the Russians had embraced the Hermann Haken work by that title, while ignoring the all American classic, Bucky Fuller's.
Since that time, I've been doing my part to counter all the confusion occasioned, not only by conflating two very different operational domains, but by the issue of name collisions more generally. In Python, we know the solution to be namespaces, and that usage has caught on.
We even have dot notation in our formal (as in machine executable) logic, so we can say Coxeter.4d and understand this refers to extended Euclideanism, whereas Einstein.4d refers to (3d + time), relating to how time/size is rolled into one energy ball in the contemporary physics namespace. Fuller.4d is yet something else again, having something to do with the simplex, if I may flex my American vocabulary.
In the namespace of Wikipedia, we speak of disambiguation. Vestigial drafts of the page in question may suggest a time when Fuller and Haken philosophies might have been conflated to a single entry. Fortunately, bifurcation happened and the Fuller and Haken works by the same title got separate treatment. That allowed Fuller's to get a direct link from Tetrahedron, tying together memes that need to be emphasized to keep our story coherent.
