Theory Update 42

If the total of path weights on the edges of a tetractys is 27 (the number of three qutrit paths) then the total of the vertex weights (where each incoming edge counts once) must be 54, since each edge has two bounding vertices. The number 27 is the dimension of a nice Jordan algebra, and 54 is the dimension of a complexification of the algebra. Using dual honeycombs, the vertices become two dimensional regions.
