A lattice in geometry is an infinite surface, that divides space in 2 infinite parts. The surface is formed by connecting infinite units of some finite surface.
A drawing from the P surface, a triply periodic surface, can be found on the following link: http://www.susqu.edu/brakke/evolver/examples/periodic/periodic.html
The build with magnets is an approximation of Schwarz' P surface, the first surface shown in the linked article.
