Pat, I think you misunderstand my comments. Geodesic domes are, for the most part, very much spherical.

Your three partially overlapping circles whether in 2D( quarks ) or 3D( proton ), do not define a spherical or at least not anything close to being likened to spherical.

The "closed neutron" is much closer to being likened to a spherical.

This is a Platonic polyhedron, only it is the spherical version. These are equalateral curved triangles.

These three XYZ oriented are the same as the regular octahedron.

Your welcome and hope that you are still willing to disscuss, answer questions in regards to the "idea" and consider my ToE ideas and a couple of other web sites that have models similar to yours but still differrent.

Here is one such site, and I hope you will look at it. It is sort of hybrid cross between your "idea"and my ideas.
