Documentation for Coupler:

The Coupler is a space-filling irregular octahedron defined
by three mutually orthogonal quadrilaterals:  one square and
two congruent rhombi.  This module constructs these quadri-
laterals and displays them in VPython.

In the concentric hierarchy, the Coupler's volume = 1 (i.e.
is same as tetrahedron's defined by 4 unit-radius CCP balls).
