Thanks! The angle of the field twists back and forth around a number of randomly placed points with a random drop-off strength and random phase per point.

152 vertices makes for 300 triangles. This arrangement's dual gives 24 pentagons, 116 hexagons, and 12 heptagons sharing 300 vertices in tetrahedral symmetry.

We can also get 80-vertex tetrahedral symmetry with a more "traditional" arrangement of 12 pentagons and the rest hexagons.

Tetrahedral symmetry requires that a general point be in a set of 12 -- on each of the 4 faces in each of 3 orientations. You can also add 4 points at the vertices, 4 at each face center, or 6 at each edge center. Combined, any even number of points >= 4 can be arranged with tetrahedral symmetry, albeit not always evenly.
Here is 50 points in tetrahedral symmetry which requires that some of them have valence 7.

50 vertices arranged in D6 symmetry is interesting in that it forms two different but close in length triangle strips -- one following the longitudes and the other the latitudes.

And 22 vertices can also arrange with 2-fold cylindrical symmetry that runs all the pentagons together into one long strip. It produces one long triangle strip and three short ones.
