Abstract
We describe the defect structure of a tetrahedral close packed model. Defects appear as a hierarchy of interlaced disclination networks which form the locus of sites where the local order deviates from a perfect icosahedral environment. This defect structure is generated by an iterative process which gradually decreases the curvature of an ideal polytope model.
