Strengths of The Theory
Using geons as structural primitives results in two key advantages. Because geons are based on object properties that are stable across viewpoint ('viewpoint invariant'), and all geons are discriminable from one another, a single geon description is sufficient to describe an object from all possible viewpoints. The second advantage is that considerable economy of representation is achieved: a relatively small set of geons form a simple "alphabet" that can combine to form complex objects. For example, with only 24 geons, there are 306 billion possible combinations of 3 geons, allowing for all possible objects to be recognised.
