 THE NUMBER TWELVE
The number 12 appears several times in the Bible, i.e., the twelve tribes of Israel, the twelve disciples of Christ, twelve stones, twelve princes, etc. It is my belief that these represent the twelve signs of the zodiac: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.

 11: Number theory
Number theory is one of the oldest branches of pure mathematics, and one of the largest.
Elementary number theory involves divisibility among integers -- the division "algorithm", the Euclidean algorithm (and thus the existence of greatest common divisors), elementary properties of primes (the unique factorization theorem, the infinitude of primes), congruences (and the structure of the sets Z/nZ as commutative rings), including Fermat's little theorem and Euler's theorem extending it.
Questions in algebraic number theory often require tools of Galois theory; that material is mostly a part of 12: Field theory (particularly the subject of field extensions).

We have found that the number of children in the interior nodes of BVH is small, so it is unsuitable to create grids for these nodes.
The construction of adaptive grids also provides another approach called the heterogeneous grid, where the number of voxels is proportional to the number of objects, but the voxel is made to be cubic as much as possible (that is, the number of cells along an axis is proportional to the relative length of the axis).
