Abstract

An SL block is an octocube that can be systematically concatenated into large variations of interlocking structures called SL strands. An SL strand can be derived with a non-intersecting path in a directional grid that is specified according to the orientation of the initial SL block. This study considers using planar SL strands to build interlinking structures that may extend to indefinite sizes in one, two and three dimensions.
