A Patent Filing for the Construction & Operation of Impossible Puzzle Machinery, Hereby Submitted for the Consideration of Distinguished Minds
FIG. II-A
Herein is described the fundamental nature of our puzzle apparatus: a mechanism of interlocking tessellated planes, each capable of independent rotation about its central axis, yet constrained by the geometry of its neighbours such that only particular sequences of manipulation shall yield the desired configuration.
The apparatus consists of no fewer than forty-seven discrete components, each machined to tolerances of one-thousandth of an inch, assembled without adhesive or fastener — held together solely by the precision of their geometry.
MECH-III
It shall be understood that the puzzle, once disassembled, presents to the operator a challenge of combinatorial magnitude: the number of possible configurations exceeds ten to the power of fourteen, yet only one arrangement satisfies the constraint equations herein described.

Abstract Polyhedron — Cross Section
Before any manipulation is attempted, the operator must first catalogue the current state of all forty-seven components. Each face, each edge, each vertex position is noted in the Patent Ledger using the standard notation described in Appendix C.
The constraint graph — a directed acyclic structure mapping which components impede the motion of which others — must be derived from observation. Only when the full graph is known can the operator identify the sole free component: the one piece whose removal unlocks the cascade.
With the free component identified, the operator executes the disassembly sequence in strict order. Each step removes exactly one component, and each removal frees exactly one subsequent component. The sequence is unique — no alternative ordering satisfies the constraints.
Upon complete disassembly, the operator arranges all forty-seven components in the Patent Display Configuration (see FIG. III-D) and verifies that no component bears marks of forced manipulation. The puzzle is solved only when disassembled without force.
This patent is hereby filed and sealed on behalf of ppuzzle.works, practitioners of impossible mechanical puzzles and tessellated reasoning engines.
