With the new periodic exponential mathematics, with new structure building principles (morphotropic, bilateral and disk), with the plural concept and the volume variations, we have a good understanding of the evolution of the structure of viruses. A massive demonstration of this is the simple Blue Tongue series. The structures of nine viruses from the smallest to the very big capsids are described as closely related: Parvovius (m=1), Coxsackie (m=2), Semliki (m=3), Simian (m=4), Cowpea mosaic (m=5), Blue Tongue (m=6), Herpes (m=7), Vacant (m=8), Human Adenovirus Type 5 (m=9), Archaeal (m=10).
