The discussion focuses on proving that the vector sum OA + OB + OC is perpendicular to the plane formed by the vertices A, B, and C of a regular tetrahedron OABC. To establish this, one must first determine the coordinates of the tetrahedron's vertices, leveraging the properties of equilateral triangles. Each face of the tetrahedron is an equilateral triangle, with interior angles of 60 degrees, which aids in calculating the necessary vector components. The conclusion is that the vector sum indeed demonstrates perpendicularity to the base plane ABC.
