Abstraction:

"What the mathematicians have been calling abstraction is reality. When they are inadequate in their abstraction then they are irrelevant to reality. The mathematicians feel they can do anything they want with their abstraction because they don't relate it to reality. And, of course, they can really do anything they want with their abstractions but, like masturbation, it is irrelevant to the propagation of life.

"The only reality is the abstraction of the principles, the eternal generalized principles. . . Most people talk of reality as just the after-image effects-- the realization lags, which register superficially and are asymmetric and off center. (The principles themselves have different lag rates and different interferences.) When we get to reality it's absolutely eternal."

"The inherent inaccuracy is what people call the reality. Man's way of apprehending is always slow: ergo the superficial and erroneous impressions of solids and things, which can actually be explained only in principle."

"There are indeed two kinds of acceleration but they are both angular. All accelerations are angular and cyclically complete. There are no open endings in Universe. Physics has discovered only waves and no straight lines.

"The angular accelerations, however, manifest a vast variety of radii. The differentiation of physics into linear and angular occurred when the humans involved failed to realize the the diameter of the little circle is always a small arc of a vastly greater circle passing through it. The greater the radius the slower the total cyclic realization. There are no straight lines or 'linear infinities.' Realization of this is what Einstein spoke of as 'curved space.'"

There is something else that I will draw for you now that is not in the pictures that I have shown to you and it has to do with the phenomenon I was talking to you about: the inside-outing of the tetrahedron. I spoke about the physicists having two ways of classifying the movements of the Universe, what they call acceleration.

They have angular and linear acceleration. The angular accelerations go around like this while they are restrained from a common center; and the linear, when you let go of it, let go just like that. When we let go of a rocket we just see a point for a very few minutes. The it is outside and we put radar on it and we can tell where it is. We can only really do it in terms of the angular direction-- where it is going-- and watching the clock say: 'I know what it's velocity is; I know how far it is.'

What we are doing is using a clock, which is an angular acceleration; and we say it went one minute, and two minutes, and so forth-- these are linear increments. What we call size are some kind of linear increments which you could treat in

Acceleration: Angular & Linear:

"terms of first and second power. You would not have a linear increment until the cycle was complete. We use some kind of cycle. It may be a cycle of atomic oscillation. Or it could be of a clock. But it is some kind of cycle, and until the cycle is complete you don't have an increment.

"Therefore we discover that in angular acceleration-- I started at six o'clock to play the game and I have only gone this far and I haven't made a cycle, and yet this is measurable.

"We find that an angle is subcyclic. We said there was no size until the cycle had been completed. We find an angle is a priori of no size: it has nothing to do with the phenomena size. The length of the edges are the linears and have nothing to do with what this angle is. Angle has nothing to do with size.

"It was one of these qualities of the tetrahedron with the 60-degreeness, symmetry, and so forth, which was completely independent of size. I found this a very important discovery. We see the tetrahedron turning inside-out, so now you know what that one was about."

"In the inherently subjective language of physical transformation of an omni-interaltering and accelerating Universe there are only two fundamental kinds of observable transformational changes, i.e. angular, or subunity alterations, and linear, or plural unity (frequency modulated) accelerations. These subjectively viewed transformations of Universe are also objectively and locally controllable by man through designed angle and frequency modulations.

"In the Energetic/Synergetic Geometry's isotropic, vectorially triangulated, omnidirectional matrix initiations the angular and linear accelerations are rationally and uniformly modulated, whereas, in the XYZ coordinate analysis of the calculus only the linear is analyzable and the angular resultants are usually irrationally expressed."

"There is no longer valid dissent to the concept of accelerated change in the affairs of man on Earth. The average USA family now moves out of town every four years. My present official address for passport taxation combination is in Carbondale, southern Illinois, the sixth state in which I have had successive voting privileges. Whether I am in residence or not, my land, my house, and I whirl constantly around the Earth's axis together at about 800 miles per hour. All the while our little Spaceship Earth zooms around the Sun at 30,000 miles per hour, while at the same time our solar system rotates in its nebular marry-go-round at hundreds of thousand of miles per hour.

"In all reality I have not left home, as it is usually said of me. My backyard has just grown progressively bigger. Since now, the world is my backyard. Where do you live and what are you are progressively less sensible questions. As of now I am a passenger on Spaceship Earth. I don't know what I am. I know I am not a category hybrid specialization. I am not a thing, a noun. You and I seem to be verbs in evolutionary process. Are we not integral functions of the Universe?

would bring about a fundamental reorientation of human life on the Universe. This concept of accelerating acceleration had been discovered by Galileo circa 1600 with respect to the first laws of motion. They were not conceived of, however, as accelerating ecological evolution up to the date of my intuiting and acting upon its arrival. Discussion of economic and evolutionary acceleration does not begin in the intellectual publications until more than a decade later. Nor did my 1922-27 discoveries that ever higher tool performance per units of pounds, time, and energy fallout from the weapons industry into the domestic consumer economy, when erstwhile weaponry-support contractors sought to exploit their advanced technological position after their war goods contracts were terminated by progressive obsolescance. It was resulting in doing ever more with less, ever more with ever less in the domestic economy. This domestic economy thought only in terms of more security only to be accomplished with more weight.

This reversal of affairs seemed to me to suggest that the Malthus dictum that only a few could survive, might be wrong. It seemed that it could come to pass that all humanity might"

"become both physically and economically successful in the foreseeable future. I identified this progression of doing more with less as ephemeralization. Fortune magazine published my 1922 concept of ephemeralization in 1940 in a prominent manner. Despite ephemeralization having subsequently wrought epochal advancements in the standard of living for two billion previously deprived humans, ephemeralization is a fact that, in 1966, is largely unknown to or overlooked by the world's professional economists. Nonetheless the concept of accelerating acceleration and ephemeralization have now brought 40 percent of humanity into the paradoxical state of world success, ergo apprehensive physical and economic success.

"I decided in 1917 to contribute to the scientific documentation of the emergent realization of the era of accelerating acceleration of progressive ephemeralization. I determined to do so by methodical and chronological inventorying of all the human communications in which I was personally involved, all mention concerning me transacted by others. I have kept this lifelong file, which I call the dymaxion chronofile... which consists mm of 250 volumes containing 80,000 letters, 300-400 pages per volume. The first important regenerative effect upon me of keeping this active chronological record was, I learned, to see myself as other see me."

Accommodation

← Accommodation | Accommodation: Accommodator (1) →


Index Entry

Action and interaction of events are accompanied by relative displacements and accommodations of other events. For example, when a stone is dropped into a tank of water, the stone does not penetrate the water molecules. The molecules are jostled; they 'accommodate' the stone, and in the process jostle their neighboring molecules, which, in turn, jostle their own border companions. Thus waves of relayed jostling are propagated. Such relayed wave, although a composite of local actions, provides a synergetic continuity of those actions. The consequence is a pattern of events which has an integrity of its own, independent of the local accommodations (which are innocent with respect to the overall synergetic pattern). . . .

The stone thrown into the tank inaugurates a complex of accommodative events operative in pure principle. . .

When radio or television waves pass through the walls of a house, when light waves pass through a window or a lens, there are always some comprehensively relayed local jostlings, some sets of submicroscopic eddies of force, that accommodate the push through . . . .

"Engineers have been proud of pointing out that the difference between engineers and lay society is that engineers know that every action has its reaction and that lay society thinks only of the actions. Before the speed of light was measured, light seemed, to all humanity, to be instantaneous. Since we now know experientially that neither light nor any other phenomenon is instantaneous, we may conclude that an action and the vectors it creates are neither simultaneously occurring nor instantaneous. Because vectors have discrete length, whose dimension represents the energy mass multiplied by its velocity, every action vector has two terminals-- a 'beginning' and an 'ending' at the end of its noninstantaneous action. The beginnings and the endings are nonsimultaneously occurring. Therefore the 'ending' terminal of an action's vector occurs later than its 'beginning.' Therefore, every action must have a reaction vector at its 'beginning' terminal and a resultant vector at its 'ending' terminal. The reaction vectors and the resultant vectors are never angled at 180 degrees to the action vectors. They are always angled precessionally at angles other than 180 degrees."

This number plus two is a very interesting kind of a number. The fact that it is second power and it is times ten: Does this fact bother you? Not particularly, because we will find out later what the times ten is. Ten is a number made up of two primes, the prime numbers five and two. We will discover what its significance is. It has something to do with the fact that the vector equilibrium has twelve degrees of freedom, and we find that two of those degrees of freedom are always subject to being polarized... If you remember looking at the center core of the vector equilibrium system, you found six sets of lines leading in, making 12 radii going through the center. We found twelve fundamental degrees of freedom, so one of the degrees of freedom could be used for spin, and if you do, then you automatically have to assign two of the balls out of the 12 for the problem of spin. We find that there are always in any layer two left over in that layer to act as bearings for the spin. They could be isolated from anything else this does energetically. You have to have something that takes care of the axis; and they take care of the neutral axis.

The 'Expo 1967' environment valve... is the first time at a world's fair that a building was designed specifically for its scientifically demonstrable high performance per unit of invested weight, time, and energy. The aesthetics of such an undertaking take care of themselves. Not an ounce of excess weight goes into the design, building, and outfitting of an America's Cup defender boat, but that boat's beauty, as with a rose or a human being, is inherent in the exquisite economy of an exactly adequate performance capability.

"When a structure is finished, and I find myself unhappy looking at it, then I know that it is a failure. But up to the time my structures (of any kind) are finished, what they are going to look like has never been a tactical factor. My kind of work deals with the hows of mathematics, the hows of industrial production and distribution and assembly and service and with how man finally finds out the ecological problems themselves and how to solve them hoping thereby to bring total success to all men at the earliest possible moment. I don't even consider how any structure that I am evolving is going to look, until after it is finished. If, finished, the structure seems beautiful, I know it is all right."

I must caution you that you will be confronted constantly by the statement that mass production of houses eliminates the aspect of individuality which is so cherished by humans and without which they are afraid they will lose the identity of their personality, therefore, mass production houses will never gain popular acceptance.

My answer to that is that reproduction or regeneration of form is a fundamental of nature and that it is neither good nor bad in itself. However, reproduction of originally inadequate or awkward forms, or poor mechanics or wasteful structures, either by the hand of man or by the regeneration of the biologi- cal species, tends to amplify the original characteristic. If the original is annoying, reproductions become increasingly annoying; if the original is highly adequate to its designed purpose, reproductions become increasingly pleasing in the confirmation of adequacy. In the latter light, we continuously admire a fine species of cultivated rose or nature's wild- flowers-- the more frequently repeated, the more beautiful. Conversely, the more frequently we see a maimed soldier, the more disheartening becomes the repetition. There would be even less virtue of the so-called individuality in the discovery

Aesthetics of Uniformity:

"of soldiers' sons born with a half a face blown away, or with three legs.

"Individuality goes far deeper than these surface manifestations with which people have sought to deceive one another as to the relative importance of their status and in the bitter struggle to validate one's right to live. Those who were powerful but ugly and lazy paid for fine clothes and fine surface architecture, and a superstition has persisted that people who could afford to pay must be superior individuals. The powerful have whipped the weak for centuries on end to instill that superstition. As long as might excelled over right that superstition had to continue. Now that we propose housing to be produced by an industry in which right makes might at less than a pound per horsepower the superstition is obsolete.

That kind of sameness embodying character and harmony through repetition is not unhappy. There is the even greater sameness of a flotilla of destroyers, far more accurate in duplication than the human, with inspiring rhythm of appeal when seen in formation under way or moored. Without visible distinguishing mark to the stranger, the destroyers have almost living individualism to their crews."

"I've been fighting-- many of us have-- to stop sulphur going into the sky. The Edison electric generating stations all around the country are bad culprits about this. As you fly over the different cities you see smog and you look where it comes from and a dozen chimneys provide the whole darn thing, primarily Edison chimneys. I was the speaker three weeks ago in Hartford at the National Edison Institute of America, all the executives... The host was one of the large engineering manufacturers of boiler equipment. And while talking with engineers and research men I found that the equipment exists and is highly perfected to take all the sulphur out. The cost it would add to the production of electricity would be only thirty percent and you'd have no fumes in the sky."

"Thirty percent?"

"Yes, practically nothing.

"Isn't that kind of high?" I ask.

Fuller spoke radically, that is, from the root of the thing. He assumed that people had the right to expect industry to stop poisoning them. And the right would be recognized only when enough consumers and citizens stopped believing industry's propaganda about what was politically and economically feasible.

Finally, there's so much accumulation of know-how in the present life that we finally have a Buddha, and A Christ, and a Mohammed saying, "We have enough now to take care of the after life of everybody.' That really is a significant moment when everybody is in on the after life. That begins the whole era of all the great cathedrals, looking out in every way to help those people get ready for the after life. Everybody's in. This exerts a very powerfully operative effect.

The main tonnage on the sea is going to become the ore carriers; I think they will probably do extremely well. They don't have loads that are going to pollute our Earth.

"I have often pointed out the factor that if you double the length of a ship you get four times the surface and eight times the volume and twice as much payload-per-skin surface, which is the critical factor. So it might seem that it would also pay for airplanes to get bigger and bigger, but they found that they would have to get the runways longer and longer-- which approaches the point of no return. Obviously, the next phase is vertol, but the United states is not doing much about that as there are too many people making money in the airplane runway business. So we got hooked, into a pattern. The English are the only ones who have garried vertol into being-- I know the Russians did too; but the English are the ones who have shown that vertol is completely practical.

I first began to talk about freight by air in the mid-1930's when we didn't have any transoceanic yet-- flying boats, yes, but there was no land for landings.... You first got freight by air with the Ford tri-motors moving mining gear into places you could never go before except by air. Well, I'm simply saying that we're moving into the miniaturization of everything; we are going to get into the great containers and they are going to contain less weight goods and this is all going by air.

"With design science we can work out what we can do by water with the sea as a resource. The sea bottom could not be more important. You could not dock ships at sea, one with the other, due to the rolling of the sea. The great tonnage is in there, but the mass attraction would chew them to pieces.

Thus it is a very practical matter to transfer cargo below the turbulence. This brought me into the development of submarine cities where you can have an enormous caisson going down through the turbulence. You can make helicopter landings on it from above and the submarines are going to just nestle right up to it from below and that's where we'll have the cargo transferring. The sea surface phase will go with the interface between water and air and man fighting all that turbulence: nothing could be more illogical. I hope I've given you a clean simple insight to the questions you asked. And as for how this influences the politicos, I'm just never going to try to influence the politicos.

Airplane Flight as Lift

"It appeared and as yet appears to follow, in conventional, state-licensed structural engineering, that if tension is secondary and local in all men's structural projections, that tension must also be secondary in man's philosophic reasoning. As a consequence, the popular conception of airplane flight was, at first and for a long time, erroneously explained as a compressional push-up force operating under the plane's wing. It 'apparently' progressively compressed the air below it, as a ski compresses the snow into a grooved track of icy slidability. The scientific fact remains, as wind-tunnel experiments proved, that three-quarters of the airplane's weight support is furnished by the negative lift of the partial vacuum created atop the airfoil. This is simply because, as Bernoulli showed, it is longer for the air to go around the top of the foil than under the foil, and so the same amount of air in the same amount of time had to be stretched thinner, ergo vacuously, over the top. This stretching thinner of the air and its concomitant greater effectiveness of inter-positioning of bodies (that is, the airplane in respect to Earth), is our same friend, the astro- and nucleic-tensional integrity of dynamic interpatterning causality."

Airport:

"Having been commissioned to design a prototype international domestic airport (sic) enduringly suitable to the next two decades of human evolution on our planet in the face of accelerating-acceleration of technological evolution, it is a commission which cannot be realized simply by adequate money, good will, cooperation, etc.. If it can be realized at all, it can only be realized by the most daring employment of fundamental wisdom thus far accorded to humanity. For the transportation communication at the astronautic level not only milleniums ahead of the strictly landed and urban arts, are accelerating at many fold the rate at which the landed arts are accelerating. The airport is where these two-milleniums-apart, astronautical and ground arts are to be wedded."

"While earliest hunting men were linear, agricultural, and trade-center colonizing men began to deal in planes. The crisscross, right-angle grid of the 'plane' is apparent in civil and agrarian law. A realistic geometric progression is disclosed in the transformings of legal evolution. Building vertically as he became crowded, three-dimensionality entered man's law governing, for instance, multiple occupancy buildings, and the like. Now legal prospecting attempts to deal statically (and futilely) with dynamical fourth-dimensionality air space, outer space, and so forth.

"Here the laws of man will have to conform eventually with Einstein's relativity, which will bring about an omnidynamical symmetry marriage of social and natural law. The airs flow continually around the Earth, so the air above any one point does not stay there. Because of the Earth's revolutions and orbiting, as well as the other astronomical motions, geometrical relationships continually change above any point on Earth. Ergo, neither the air nor the starry frame of reference remains the same. So we ask what the properties are of their 'air space' which men, cities, and nations assert to have been violated. How violate nonexistence!"

Yona Friedman's return to the science of architecture is not only intuitively sound but very practically sound. He writes in a way that should be very understandable in general and should help prepare for this severe reorientation in human affairs.

"The architects of the Boeing-747 have produced a 400-occupant, sky-dwelling device able to move through the air at 10 times the velocity of hurricanes. The atmospheric resistance increases as the second power of the speed, which means, in this case, 10² = 100, ergo the ferocity of the interaction of the Boeing 747 and the air is a hundredfold the energetic ferocity of a hurricane.

"When the captain of a Boeing 747 tells the passengers over the intercom to fasten their seat belts because it is going to be a little bumpy, the plane travelling at 10 times the velocity of a hurricane may be about to pass through vertical thermals, one outbound from the Earth at 100 miles per hour, the other inbound toward the Earth also at 100 miles per hour.

The captains of Boeing 747s land their craft weight 150 tons at 150 mph. often in a foggy night, and do so with such competence that, with the music going, people think no more of it than steering an automobile to the curb. That is scientific architecture which has been evolved from millions upon millions of scientific measurings and on billions of flying hours' experience. The silver ship going through the sky is a thing of great beauty, but in no way was its structural design arrived at by arbitrary shape preferences. The shaping came out of the wind tunneles. The shaping of the wings came out of the Bernoulli principle of atmospheric pressure differentials. The aesthetic of scientific architecture derives entirely from both comprehensive and incisive integrity and from faithful adherence to science and technology's discovery of physical laws.

Because the cube is the basic three, if we assess space in terms of the cube as volumetric unity, we will take three times as much space as would be occupied by the tetrahedron as volumetric unity. The arithmetical-geometrical coordination in terms of cubes is threefold inefficient for we are always dealing with physical experience and the structural systems whose edges consist of events whose actions, reactions and resultants consist of one basic energy vectors; therefore the cube requires threefold the energy to structure it as compared with the tetrahedron. We thus understand why nature uses the tetrahedron as the unit of energy, as its energy quantum, because it is three times as efficient. All the physicists' experiments show that nature always employs the most energy-economical tactics.

"If' I put a little one-eighth octahedron in the corner of each of the eight triangular faces of the vector equilibrium it becomes a cube. Therefore, when I bring vector equilibria together in masses, it leaves a little space on each of these corners, but you remember that eight cubes always come together around one point. Therefore, there will be eight of these one-eighth octahedra on each of the corners which come together at this point. Therefore the eight of them together would make one octahedron. We find then that the vector equilibrium plus the octahedron on the outside of each of the triangular faces would fill all space.

When we bring the vector equilibria up to each other we find that two of their square faces match together. Within a square face we had a half octahedron, so that brings two of the square faces together and I get an internal octahedron between the two of them. The external octahedra are intervened between the vector equilibria on their triangular faces and there is an internal set of octahedra between the square faces."

If we take an equilateral triangle and bisect its edges and put three little tetrahedra on the three corners of the triangle and put a fourth tetrahedron in the center, we find that there is not enough room for other mm tetrahedra to come down in the crevices between the peaks of the tetrahedra. So you cannot fill all space with tetrahedra. What you do is fill all space with tetrahedra and octahedra. They complement one another. But if you were looking for a monological explanation this wouldn't be nice for you. If you are willing to go along with the physicists, recognizing complementarity, then you would say that this method of accounting, which is coming out nice and rational, is a perfectly good way of accounting. I could talk tetrahedra even though I am using different forms. Now we have tetrahedra being agglomerated with octahedra and we have a very interesting kind of condition."

We find that in closest packed spheres there are only two shapes spaces: what we call the concave octahedron and the concave vector equilibrium. . . . One is an open condition of the vector equilibrium and the other is a contracted one of the octahedron. So we begin to discover something fascinating, which is, if I take vector equilibria and contract them, as I showed you with internal-external octahedra, each one of those vector equilibrium packages, . . . we find that the triangular faces are occupying a position in closest packing of a space and the square faces are occupying the position of a sphere. Between them we had the internal and external octahedra; that is, the spaces between are either concave vector equilibria or concave octahedra. We could take the original vector equilibrium and bend the edges inwardly to make it concave or we could bend them outwardly and make spheres. In the first degree of contraction from vector equilibrium, it becomes a sphere or a space. If it bends inwardly it becomes spaces and if it bends outwardly they become spheres. We can then begin to call a space a concave vector equilibrium and we call a sphere a convex vector equilibrium, or we can call a space a concave octahedron which is one of the other kinds of transformations.

There are to my knowledge now six unique, all space filling geometries. Any one of them can be m amplified upon in unlimited degree by high frequency permitted aberrations. For instance,the cube can reoccur in high frequency multiples with fundamental m rectilinear aspects-- with a node on the positive face and a corresponding dimple on the negative face-- which will fill all space simply because it is a complex of cubes.

The six fundamental all space fillers are:

(1) The cube (six faces), discoverer unknown.

(2) The rhombic dodecahedron, discovererunknown (twelve faces). This all space filler is the one to occur most frequently in nature. Rhombic dodsecahedron crystals are frequently found on the floor of mineral rich deserts.

AllSpace Filling: Space Filling with Tetrahedra:

"If I make five separate tetrahedra of four spheres each-- one in each corner-- with spheres closest-packed this way you can fill all space with tetrahedra. The fifth four-sphere tetrahedron just has to be inverted and placed between the first four four-sphere tetrahedra. The atoms are not linear and they are not planar. All you would have to have is tetrahedral assemblies to fill all space."

In the five and a half million known years of man's presence on earth, with man born naked, helpless, without any information, with beautiful equipment, but ignorant, but gradually gaining in experience and gradually finding his way. Well there has been a pyramiding of such experiences and America happens to be in the midst of these waves that have gone around the world. It's a cross-breeding world man here. And the developing world man here is beginning to export and become part of the world. There is a tendency of the crowd to be excited by the man who makes a score on the football playing field, by the man who makes the touchdown. But I feel that America has been thrown a forward pass by all of humanity. Therefore, it's spectacular-- making the touchdown, but it's part of the great team of all humanity. And I want to be sure not to try to develop in any way-- or to curry an unnatural ego."

"I don't have beliefs about anger. J You ask if anger has a shape.J I have my own analysis of the experience and I will point out my mother used to be very upset because I would not get angry. She wanted me to resent it if somebody did something to my younger brother or my sister; she wanted me to get angry about it and fight, and finally, to gratify her, I would find compassion for my younger brother if somebody were brutalizing him, but I did not go out and battle the other kid.

"I'm convinced personally today that anger and the aggressiveness is a secondary phenomenon--what we call fail-safe alternate circuitry. The very basic proclivity is to handle things without anger. Anger tends to destroy a very great deal--cuts off, and is very single-tracked and anything but comprehensive.

And experiences have taught me that-- how many times people around me who love me used to me being gentle--how shocked they are when they see me get angry."

Therefore, angles, which are less than one cycle, are inherently less than one unit of size. Angles are inherently 'subsize' consideration. Because angles are subcyclic, they are 'subsize.' Therefore, we are permitted to think independently of size in respect to triangles, which consist of three separate angles.

Index Entry

Absolutely straight lines or an absolutely flat plane would, theoretically, continue outwardly to infinity. Intellectual comprehension occurs when patterns of experience return upon themselves in all directions.

The difference between infinity and finity is governed bym the taking of angular sinuses, like pieces of pie, out of surface areas around a point in an absolute plane. This is the way lampshades and skirts are made. Joining the sinused fan-ends together makes a cone; if two cones are made and their open, ergo infinitely-trending, edges are brought together, a finite system results. It has two polar points and an equator. These are inherent and primary characteristics of all finite systems.

"I made the original topological discovery that all local or closed systems in universe (which includes all geometrical forms, asymmetric or symmetric, simple or complex) are always accomplished by nature through the elimination of 720 degrees of angle. That is to say: the sum of the angles around all vertexes of all systems will always add up to 720 degrees (or two times unity of 360 degrees) less than the number of vertexes of the system times 360 degrees. This is the way in which nature takes two complete 360° angular tucks in infinity to render systems locally finite."

"Today's hyperspecialization in socio-economic functioning has come to preclude important popular philosophic considerations of the synergetic significance of, for instance, such historically important events as the discovery within the general region of experimental inquiry known as virology, that the as-yet popularly assumed validity of the concept animate and inanimate phenomena have been experimentally invalidated.

"Atoms and crystal complexes of atoms were held to be obviously inanimate. The protoplasmic cells of biological phenomena were held to be obviously animate. It was deemed to be common sense that warm-blooded, moist, and soft-skinned humans were clearly not to be confused with (cold hard) granite or steel objects. A clear-cut threshold between animate and inanimate was therefore assumed to exist as a fundamental dichotomy of all physical phenomena. This seemingly placed life exclusively within the bounds of the physical.

"The supposed location of the threshold between the animate and inanimate was methodically narrowed down by experimental science until it was confined specifically within the domain of virology."

"Virologists have been too busy, for instance, with their DNA-RNA genetic code isolatings, to find time or to see the synergetic significance to society of the fact that they have found that no threshold does in fact exist between animate and inanimate.

"The possibility of its existence vanished because the supposedly unique physical qualities of both inanimate and animate have persisted right across yesterday's supposed threshold in both directions to permeate one another's, previously-conceived-to-be, exclusive domains. Subsequently, what was animate has become foggier and foggier, and what is inanimate clearer and clearer. The inanimate alone is not only omnipresent, but is alone experimentally demonstrable. Belated news of this threshold elimination must be interpreted to mean that whatever life may be, it has not been isolated and thereby identified as residual in the biological cell, as had been supposed by the false assumption that there was a separate physical phenomenon called animate within which life existed."

RBF Definitions

There seem to be phases where you and I automatically check in and say, 'That's a man.' 'I can see that's a living organism.' And another might say, 'I can see that's a crystal.' But we've learned now that there's no threshold between these two. They used to be called animate and inanimate, and then we found that that is not true. As we got into virology the distinction was no longer there. We found that all the descriptive attributes of the crystals permeate-- go right across the threshold-- so you'd have to call everything that is physical, just physical. Man used to think that he could identify life all within the physical. At one end of the physical was the thing we'll call animate organisms; at the other end of the physical was something called inanimate. So, he called it that, and was kind of satisfied that these two qualities were all within physical.

It's not just the chemists dealing in molecules, but the biologists and the physicists. All the lines have broken down, the instruments and everything. The investigator would take everybody right across all those borders, genetics, and so forth, DNA running through it, and getting down to virology where we discover DNA and RNA and all the design"

"Mortal physical human bodies have the function of providing a regenerative succession of fresh physical vehicles for the mortal-- because entropic-- articulation of metaphysical immortality. The long-held popular conception of the existence of two kinds of physical substances-- one called animate and the other called inanimate-- the first rather mystically maintained and the other subject to stark chemical analysis, was altogether invalidated as science closed in on the assumed threshold between the animate and inanimate at the virus level only to find that there is no threshold and that all the phenomena followed strictly inanimate physical laws. So we find the real separation of the life and the inanimate when humans die and no weight is lost. Life is metaphysical and antientropic. 'The inanimate is physical and entropic.'

This area, then, of the threshold is where the DNA is found and the controls of the patterning of life are down to four compounds of chemistry which somehow or other develop a code, and out of this code of these four letters are all the designs that occur."

What is the complementary or opposite of the expanding physical Universe that grows progressively more diffuse, complex, chaotic, and disorderly? Is there a phase of Universe equal in magnitude to that of the physical, but which is contracting and becoming ever more orderly? This question moved the astronomers to look for black celestial bodies in the heavens to balance the radiant stars. While the astronomers have as yet found none, our own Spaceship Earth constitutes one such important black body.

The cooling Earth is a contracting phase of Universe. Our Spaceship Earth is continually receiving radiant energy from the Sun and other stars. One finding during the recent International Geophysical Year indicated that Earth probably receives 100,000 tons of stardust daily. These physical receipts impinge randomly upon our spherical spaceship. On Earth the biological organisms go to work on these random receipts and continually rearrange them in giant but orderly molecular chains. Biological life impounds the Sun's radiation in many orderly ways, e.g., through photosynthesis.

Anti-Entropy:

"Entropy is the name given by the scientists to the inherent loss of energy by machines or local systems of universe in general. The scientists speak of entropy as the 'law of increase of the random element.' Nature balances positive matter by negative matter. Differentiative and integrative intellect, anti-entropy present in man, operates to coordinate entropy and anti-entropy within the comprehensive inventory of non-simultaneous, complementarity of interrelatedness, of an evolutionarily transforming, physical universe."

Antientropy:

"We know scientifically that all local physical systems are continually giving off energies. We call this entropy.

Due to each of the local systems' unique periodicities, etc. the given-off energies are diffusely and randomly released in respect to other systems. Thus the physical Universe is continually expanding and increasingly disorderly. Fundamental complementarity requires that there must be some phase of Universe where the Universe is contracting and increasingly orderly.

"We look at all the stars and find that we 'see' them only because they are giving off energies in increasing disorder. We call this radiation. We find only one place in the Universe where we know energies are converging, collecting, and being stored, and that is our own spaceship Earth.. our planet. In the International Geophysical Year, world-around measurements indicated that approximately 100,000 tons of stardust are accumulated daily atard Earth from other stars. Thus energy is being collected h're as matter. We also are collecting an enormous amount of radiation from the other stars,"

Index Entry

Antientropy:

"primarily from the Sun, but also as cosmic radiation from myriads of other stars. The energy either as stardust or radiation increments, arrives in a very random frequency pattern. We may state it to be experimentally proven that our special space vehicle Earth is at least one mobile energy collecting center in contradiction to the stars which are energy distributors. The Sun's radiation is not being reflected off Earth as from a mirrored ball. It is refracted, or angularly deflected, by the atmosphere. Thus the Sun energy as heat is impounded in the atmosphere to produce weather changes. Thus also are the waters refractionally heated by the Sun's radiation. Thus by a series of relay stages is energy impounded aboard our spaceship Earth to regenerate life by the photosynthesis of the vegetation, which is a beautiful process whereby the random energy receipts are transformed chemically into beautiful orderly molecules which are beautiful structures. Here you see the turnaround from disorder to order-- from entropy to antientropy. All the biologicals are converting chaos to beautiful order. All biology is antientropic."

Wherever you have actions you have reactions, and where there is priority there is antipriority. So in wartime you pick your primest young people to send to the front, helping to keep the front away from home and you are taking scarce resources and scarce brains that know how to work them and scarce tools with which they can be worked on high priority to make the weapons to implement your boys you send to the front. The idea of someone taking some of the high capability, high priority resources to make themselves a finer home during the war would be a most immoral kind of thought. .. Any kinds of sheds that will keep the rain off will do. .. We find that during wartime the housing, the environment controlling arts become the entipriority arts. .. You find that you go from pretty nice looking spigots on the sink down to lead spigots. You find the housing arts in general are what we call the antipriority arts and this holds true in the peace time . . . because in peace time the high priority is with producing foods . . . tending the metabolic processes so you could survive. . . When winter was coming on and the harvest was in you have a little more time and you get some more wood and you run it over to the chimney so you get yourself covered in for the winter and that is more or less the fortuitous way in which housing gradually occurred.

ships existing between the special case informations that

are neither implicit or inferred by any of the special case

informations when taken separately--the meaning, discovered

by mind being the generalized principle manifest exclusively

by the interrelationship variable and constants.

"Awareness means apprehending while also intuitively

comprehending that the incoming information is significant

Universe is a complex of omniinteraccommodative principles. Universe is a priori orderly and complexedly integral. We do not need imaginary, nonexistent, inconceivable points, lines, and planes, out of which non-sensible nothingness to inventively build reality.

"Reality is a priori Universe. What we speak of geometrically as having been vaguely identified in early experience as 'specks' or dots or points has no reality. A point in synergetics is a tetrahedron in its vector-equilibrium, zero-volume state, but too small for visible recognition of its conformation. A line is a tetrahedron of macro altitude and micro base. A plane is a tetrahedron of macro base and micro altitude. Points are real, conceptual, experienceable visually and mentally, as are lines and planes."

The Universe is everywhere, and continually, manifesting an intellectual integrity which inherently comprehends all macro-micro event patterning and how to employ that information objectively with omni-consideration of all intereffects and reactions. The Universe manifests an extraordinary aggregate of generalized principles, none of which contradict one another and all of which are interaccommodative, with some of the interaccommodations"

Now this is to say that science, at its beginnings, starts with a priori absolute mystery, within which absolute mystery there looms these beautiful behaviors of physical Universe, where the reliabilities are eternal. . . I find @then the fact that this a priori mystery exists has been really lost by the public today, and so many who studied science just really technically learned some rules and learned how to operate some instruments, but really missing this mystery.

"The profession of architecture as practiced today, is a slave function, exercising good taste in purchasing and assembling industrially available components, a superficial veil to cover the steel or concrete frames which are completely conventionalized and organized by the engineers.

"This slave profession only goes to work when it is hired and told what to do. The client says, 'I am going to build a building on such a corner; this is its purpose; this is what it is to cost; this is what it should look like; this is what the building codes and labor unions tell you you are going to do; I want my relative's equipment used.' The architect plays his game with those dominoes. Under such conditions all you can do is arrange a few beautifully laid brick panels between the columns. That world of architecture is completely superficial and is going out. There are going to be individuals who do not assume a client knows what he wants or a society knows what it wants to do, but examine potential environmental controls, human needs, world resources, and industry's capabilities."

"I often hear it said in our technical schools, and by the public, that architects build buildings out of materials. I point out to architectural students that they do not do that at all. That kind of definition dates back to the era of men's thinking of matter as solid. I tell architecture students that what they do is to organize the assemblage of visible modular structures out of subvisible modular structures. Nature itself, at the chemical level does the prime structuring. If the patterning attempted by the architect is not inherently associative within the local regenerative dynamics of chemical structure, his buildings will collapse. The kinds of spans man builds, the sizes of his columns, and the ways in which, in the end, man must enclose space, are governed by the fundamental principles of structuring preconceived in a priori structuring laws of nature. The principles governing structure not only prescribe what man can put together, but they are operative at the molecular level, at the atomic level and at the nuclear level. They are also operative in each of man's life cells and throughout principles of structure in the starry heavens."

Men build visible module structures out of subvisible module structures. There are generalized laws governing structure. The generalized laws of structure are oblivious to the special threshold existing between the man-tuned sensorial spectrum and the vast ranges of Universe structuring infra- and ultra-sensorial to man's narrowly tuned conscious reception faculties."

This was in contrast to the extraordinary new ability that was going into the building of navies . . . and into airplanes, into a new kind of navy of the air. The very highest capabilities of man were being invested in these and nothing was being invested in the direction of the house. I didn't find any scientist working on the plumbing. The architects were getting some purple tile or some pink tile, and so forth, but no one was concerned with what goes on behind the wall. There have been no changes back of the wall for at least 3,000 years! Our homes are serviced today by the same sewerage system invented before the time of Christ. I felt that this kind of inattention to our home was responsible for the fact that our first child died. . . and Ifelt the conditions could have been controlled if the same kind of capability had been going in the direction of our life to make life a success, it might have been a success."

"Design science undertakes a functional solution of problems. The methodology is First: What is the problem to be solved? and Second: How can that be solved by artifacts rather than by political contriving, or persuasion, or reorganization of the present situation. So I always go to the artifact. And I've never had trouble demonstrating that, the simplest one being that there's a roaring gorge and you put a bridge across it. People are going to try to use the bridge and not swim across. Artifacts induce their spontaneous use. By virtue of their spontaneous use the pattern of society changes, the problem is solved, and the previous situation becomes obsolete.

"Now that's grand strategy. Therefore, if I'm going to get artifacts I'm going to see what are the structural things that I can solve structurally or mechanically: is it a machine, is it a structure, or an engine? What are the various inputs of all the chemical elements involved? What is their inventory? I think the methodology is quite clear. You first go to the artifacts and in doing so you are going to unquestionably cut out a lot of the wasteful uses of materials. We are going to release materials that are doing the job in an obsolete way."

What I find as the big pattern is that human beings continue to make babies where they're not going to be successful. Look what happened when waterworks came in. Long before the first census in 1810-- go back to 1600 and look in the family bibles and you will find the average of Early American and Colonial families are between 10 and 13 children per family with many of them dying at the time of childbirth. It was very sad. But as in came waterworks, or any kind of an artifact, that changed the probabilities and down went the number of babies per family and up went the life expectancy. These two are in absolute balance. In country after country, as the kilowatts-per-capita consumption goes up, down goes the birthrate. The two are absolutely irreversible.

"More than a third of a century ago I became intuitively excited by the idea that, whereas I had been brought up in a world in which humanity spoke about the tools it used and the machinery of the new industrialization as artificial, these artefacts and tools, if seen from far enough away in time, might be realised to be an actual an integral part of the pattern Man. So I began to feel that the word 'artificial' which I had heard so much of, was a word that was obsolete and could be discarded. I saw that everything I was experiencing couldn't be experienced unless nature permitted it, and it was all part of the extraordinary pattern of the Universe, and therefore every bit of it was, I might say, not artificial but natural."

In America in 1936 I found that every American weighed nine tons of steel and 22 tons of concrete and 140 pounds of copper and so forth. This is the relative amount of externalized tooling per capita. Man is really larger than the dinosaur, larger than the mammoth, but the dinosaur and the mammoth became obsolete simply because they tried to run all their tools around integrally: the dinosaur was pulling a great big one-ton tail along, with the idea that it could knock down a banana with it. So that man was uniquely successful by virtue of this grand strategy of differentiating out his functions, and developing interchangeable functions."

Artifacts:

"All around the world are found unbelievably large heaps of artifacts of discontinuous man, each, in effect, starting all over again learning a little, incorporating the little in hand-crafted tools, dying without comprehension of aught but the local limitations and inadequacies of his infinitely surrounded and apparently exclusive local reality."

Artificial:

"In my view there is no meaning to the word 'artificial.' Man can only do what nature permits him to do. Man does not invent anything. He makes discoveries of principle operative in nature and often finds ways of generalizing those principles and reapplying them in surprise directions. That is called invention. But he does not do anything artificial. Nature has to permit it, and if nature permits it, it is natural. There is naught which is unnatural."

Artificial:

"Even today, despite interim development of fundamental knowledge to the contrary, we speak erroneously of "artificial" materials, "Synthetics," and so forth. The basis for this erroneous terminology is the notion that Nature has certain things which we call natural, and everything else is "man-made," ergo artificial. But what one learns in chemistry is that Nature wrote all the rules of structuring; man does not invent chemical structuring rules; he only discovers the rules. All the chemist can do is to find out what Nature permits, and any substances that are thus developed or discovered are inherently natural. It is very important to remember that."

"The artists use communications tools--verbal or otherwise--to communicate what they are concerned with. Even the artist of centuries ago, ordered by the king to paint a portrait of his wife, manage to speak to us through the ages telling us by color, angle, and philosophic viewpoint, what he is concerned about. By the word 'art' I mean integrity of individual communication independent of the medium of its articulation."

"I don't think of art as modern art or classic art. I just think of the artist as someone who speaks to me. Not as a painter or as a sculptor. For the artist it is just not an expression of his ego. I see in the artist the deeper or mysterious urge of another individual feeling deeply of the great mysterious wonderment-- with a feeling of awe, even ominous. And I wonder how this artist could be so extraordinarily sensitive and articulate. Art is always inspired. It is very different from ambition. Inspiration comes from outside: we don't know where, or exactly where. Ambition has nothing to do with art: we do know where ambition comes from. . . . Amongst the present painters I feel that Dali is an artist, truly inspired-- like Frank Lloyd Wright, loving and thoughtful with his own wife and family, not being ambitious. Wright had all the Dali-like histrionics, and he had great confidence in his own insights, but he had great humility too. Their public appearance seems to be very remote from their beautiful private worlds. And Poe was an artist; of course he drank, and F. Hopkinson Smith's 'Kennet Square' tells how he passed out, but when he came to he recited the Lord's Prayer and said it beautifully." - Cite RBF to EJA, 3200 Idaho, Washington DC, 24 Jan '72

"The Art Department at New York University" meeting disclosed the artists as individuals who develop powerful self-protection of their innate intellectual and conceptual capability inheritance. They often protect their innate capabilities through intuitively triggered poker-faced silence, which in the elementary or high schools is interpreted as noncooperative mental inferiority, often causing early termination of their formal education. . . Individuals who were original and conceptually brilliant were most frequently detected, protected, and made to grow by equally sensitive art teachers.

Artist: Histrionics:

"Sensitivity is enormously excited by paradox. And paradox can be so paradoxical as to be out-and-out comical. E.G., Edward Lear; Lewis Carrol's 'Alice in Wonderland,' are equivalent to Dali and Frank Lloyd Wright and Poe. Poe's histrionics were in his drink: the paradox was such pain to him but it did not betray the artist. . . When you really hit an audience with the truth-- the absurdity of UP and Down, and IN and OUT-- they are full of giggles and laughs. F.L. Wright and Dali could not assist getting the giggles out of people. They say: Isn't it wonderful that people are shockable. Dali can reverse it. He can give them an untruth that will shock them. Wright and Dali regenerate themselves by shocking: that's what this histrionics was all about.

"Wright was not as deep as Dali-- who is o'erwhelmed by the great mystery, like Poe. Wright let Gurdjieff take over. He therefore had a religion rather than make his own attempt to explain his experiences to himself. Poe and Dali really tried to explain things to themselves. Dali showed RBF his greatest painting in his studio in Spain. A picture of the Fishermen in the parable of the loaves and the fishes.

". . . The progress we have made is not the result of blindly proceeding from one precedent to another. Only by escaping from the popular frames of reference and critically examining the conventional methods and techniques have we set up a new hypothesis and arrived at our present solution with its prospect of a new and transcendental industry. To do this it was necessary to make broad and daring assumptions. This talk is full of them, and I have not taken time to substantiate or develop them in detail. Assumptions grow out of experience and new postulates stem from observation which reveals the inadequacies of our previous concepts. However short of the mark our answers may be, I know that our method is right, for all the great scientific advances in history have been made by the Newtons and Galileos who were not afraid to form their own hypothesis. I am saying this to you because engineers have too often let others make their assumptions for them. In the months ahead the engineering staff has a great responsibility in getting our house into production. By attempting merely to improve and modify the familiar ways of designing and building you will succeed only in perpetuating original errors and limitations. So do not be afraid of radical methods or of setting up your own hypotheses." RBF preface to: 1946.

"Though I have found an omnidirectional vector equilibrium matrix and the complex of momentarily positively and negatively asymmetrical intertransformabilities pulsating through the equilibrious state, I knew that nature would never allow temporal humans to omniarrest cosmic kinetics at the timeless, i.e., eternal equilibrium zero. But experimenting in cryogenics, taking energy-as-heat out of the insulatingly isolated liquefied gaseous element system approaching absolute zero, we learn that as the temperature gets lower and lower, an increasingly orderly and an increasingly symmetrical, micro-geometrical patterning occurs-- the Platonic Solids appear to become more symmetrically uniform. Contrariwise, when energy-as-heat is progressively reintroduced, the kinetics increase and the complex of conceptual behavior becomes progressively disorderly. At lowest cryogenic temperatures the omnigrammetric interpattern- ing approaches isotropic vector matrix equilibrium.

"The isotropic vector matrix equilibrium multiplies omnidirectionally with increasing frequency of concentric vector-equilibrium-conformed, closest-packed uniradius sphere shells, conceptually disclosing the cosmically prime unique sequence of developed interrelationships and behaviors immediately surrounding a prime nucleus. While the physicist processes his nuclear problems with nonconceptual mathematics, the conceptual isotropic vector matrix equilibria model provides a means of comprehending all the electromagnetic and nonelectromagnetic energy valving and angular shunting controls of the solid state transistors.

Thus we are able to inventory what we are going to call a nuclear set of unique interrelationship patterns.

"The isotropic vector matrix multiplies concentrically. But because vectors are discrete the isotropic vector matrix's lines do not go to infinity. Their length must always represent sumtotally the total energy of eternally regenerative physical Universe. No matter how high the internal frequency of the finite Universe the overall vector equilibrium is of unit magnitude. This magnitude corresponds to that of the speed of radiation unininterfered with in vacuo. We find that the different frequencies in their phases of symmetry identify precisely with what we now call the Magic Numbers identifying the successively reoccurring five peaks in relative abundance of atomic isotopes.

The smallest known orderly phenomenon in the Universe is the atom. The diameter of the atom's nucleus is the smallest known distance measurement in the Universe. The diameter of the outer shell of the atom is approximately 10,000 times that of its nuclear diameter. The ratio of diameter sizes of the atomic nucleus and the diameter of its outer electron orbit (shell) is 1 to 10,000. This also is somewhat the same order of magnitude as the 8000-mile diameter of the Earth in relation to its own Sun-orbiting diameter of 184 million mile, i.e., 1 to 23,000. But the Earth is not the solar system's nucleus. The Sun is the planetary nucleus. The Earth orbits the Sun at a diameter that is only 230 times the diameter of the Sun. Pluto, however, is the outermost known planet. ergo, it is the Sun-nucleated system's outer-shell-describing planet, and Pluto's orbital diameter is 9000 times the diameter of the Sun. Thus, the solar system discloses approximately the same nucleus-to-shell diameters ratio as that of the atoms, and may indeed do so exactly, for there are new calculations suggesting a tenth planet at possibly the exact 10,000-Sun diameter's distance.

It was so striking how the Americans and Europeans tended to be abrupt or even harassing in their discourse with one another; it was a style of confrontation. But the Austranesian representatives were always incredibly thoughtful toward other people. Without exception, I commented on this to other Americans and Europeans and they all confirmed my observation that the Asians were a more self-considerate society, being from a very old and wise set of human beings, they had an entirely different way of speaking up."

Nobody knows how his breakfast is being processed into gland-stored energies. He cuts his hand and it heals. He does not know how. His hair grows, or doesn't grow, and he knows not how or why. We go from seven pounds to 170 so relatively slowly we don't think of this as evolutionary. But between World Wars I and II American men unexpectedly increased their height by three inches. Up to and including my father's life, the average distance covered by man in his lifetime was 50,000 miles. In my lifetime, thus far, I have covered three million miles, a 100-fold increase. Astronauts knock off that distance in three days flight. I don't think we tend to accredit at all the fact that we might go on to have some other form of living in the Universe."

"An automobile cannot go over the open fields. The highway is part of an automobile. You must realize that an automobile is really like a little runner on a monkey wrench. These two parts are again the synergetics of one another. And because the automobile company can't afford to produce all the highways, all they do then is to produce a very beautiful car, put it in an automobile show, get the local banker to buy one, and it gets to be very showy. People get very excited at the idea that they don't have to walk from here to there; they might be able to ride from here to there. And they have automobile races on a little track and it gets to be very exciting. And so finally there gets to be such a hunger of people to ride that the politician, who hasn't even gone to school at all, finds the way to get elected is to build highways."

How you felt about the first time you can really remember seeing a flower. .. .The delicacy of the human relationship which, as time went on ... people saying, darling, it's a pretty tough world and you've got to get over that sensitiveness.

Reviewing chemical science history I became intuitively aware that the clue to vectorial, volumetric, geometrical coordination might be found in Avogadro's experimental proof of his earlier hypothesis which stated that all gases under identical conditions of heat and pressure will always disclose the same number of molecules per given volume. I felt intuitively that inasmuch as these gases often consist of one unique chemical element, such as hydrogen or helium, and that inasmuch as these gases could be liquefied, and inasmuch as most of the elements are susceptible to some heat- or pressure-produced transformation between their liquid, crystalline, and vapor, or incandescent states, it might also be reasonable to hypothetically generalize Avogadro's hypothesis by assuming that 'under identical energy conditions all elements may disclose the same number of "somethings" per given volume.'

I said, What would I mean by that if I were using vectors? It would mean that all the vectors were the same length and it would mean that every one of them had at each of its terminals some convergence of the reactants and the resultants in which all the angles would be identical. Every vector would be the same and it would be connected up at both of its terminals with other vectors at which all the angles around it would always be the same."

"We also no longer can overlook the fact that science has found no solids, no continuous surfaces, no infinity, no straight lines, no 180-degree angular continuums. To the best of our experimentally informed knowledge, all such formerly accepted axiomatic concepts are false. Axiomatic meant 'self-evident.' The seemingly obvious quality in most cases of yesterday's axioms was permitted only by the lack of knowledge of that which would be disclosed by microscopic inspection. We must desist from further imposition of such pre-microscope-telescope assumed, but now knowledgeably false, premises upon our children. We have been tolerating the fictions only because they were included in yesterday's textbooks which we say, also ignorantly, we cannot afford to replace. The time has come, and there is little left of it, within which to effect entirely new world-around educational strategies."

... Regarding those mathematicians working in geometrics, they don't impress me at all. As far as I am concerned, all of their axioms are wrong. An axiom by definition defies the concepts of experimental science. These mathematicians insist that what is self-evident is not subject to further experimental demonstration; and therefore, as far as I am concerned, they are working with concepts which have no experimental foundation. I believe that about 90 per cent of all mathematics relates to games that have no valid relationship to real physical experience.

"Euler said that every pattern in the Universe is characterized where the lines cross (the vertexes) and areas (where three lines cross giving any closed set.) And we found that for all polyhedron the number of vertexes plus the number of faces equals the number of edges plus two.

"I thought this plus twoness over and the fact that I found two extra spheres in every layer of closest packing had probably some significance. So I said, one thing we have learned about all systems when isolated from other systems, is that they have the ability to be rotated around or for things to rotate around them. Therefore there are axes of spin. Every system has to have some kind of axis.

"We look at the reel of your tape recorder here and we look at the top of that reel which is going eastward and the bottom is going westward. And the top is going quite fast to the eastward. If I go in from the center, the speed from the top is going slower as it goes close to center, and the bottom is going slower and slower eastward as you go close to the center. Finally at some point in the center"

Axis of Spin:

"they can't be going the other way. There must be a neutral axis but you can't see it. This shows up time and time again in mathematics. Brouwer's mathematical theorem really shows this... you have a large number aggregate of points very randomly disposed and you stir all those points. It's easy to prove mathematically that one of the points never moves in respect to the total mass.

"There is always a neutral axis because every system must have the two faces, obverse and reverse. So there must be another point in the southern hemisphere that also didn't move. So those two points are always in any matrix of seeming total disorder: two will not have moved.

"So these are the axes of spin of systems. If I need an axis of spin, therefore, I find it very interesting that in agglomerating these layers and allowing for the really very large-size numbers that would be accounted for in the masses of Earth. And Newton working in the gravitation of mass defines it in terms of the second power of the relative proximity of the masses. And that second power is in terms of the diameters"

"of the respective masses, using one or the other as a

Criterion. Which means that if I have two balls the same

size and I halve the distance between them, that will fourfold

the attraction of one for the other. And then I gave you

the converse of that, the radiation one of Einstein, which

is also second powering. Both of these deal in energies

which are so large that the discrete two for any layer

in terms of atoms would be lost. But when we come to make the

true model, I found out that in the closest packing of spheres

there were the two always there. So we could describe it,

but you really couldn't discover it experimentally because

it's too negligible a figure. But there it is and it allows

for the axis of spin.

"So I said, all right, so I'm going to redo all those formulas.

For every vertex in any polyhedron I am going to take two out

of that polyhedron and assign them the function of the axis

of spin. Two vertexes always are poles. This means that I will

subtract from the left-hand side Euler's formula. For

instance the tetrahedron is four vertexes plus four faces -

six edges plus two. I take out two vertexes on the left-hand

side which I give the function of being poles. That leaves me"

"two nonpolar vertexes in the inventory. This means I will have to put plus two over my equation over here. I am using the sign of theta because it has the fundamental twoness, a top and a bottom. So I have the plus two. I have two plus, taking it out of every one of these vertexes. This means I can take away the two on the other side of the equation, where I had edges plus two (E + 2), in order to accommodate this extra twoness, which was over here, which really had the polar effect. So I have two poles plus these nonpolar vertexes in here. I have taken that out of all of Euler's topological description of all this hierarchy of polyhedra, which is done in the hierarchy of relative volumes of oneness, fourness. The '1' gets back down to a '2' later on, 2, 3, 5, and so forth.

"This tells us then that where we take out the two poles, the spin, there is a constant relative abundance for every vertex in the Universe. There will always be two faces and there will always be three edges. Which is to say then, that form every event in the Universe, the number of lines (which are the vectors, the energy actions) will always be three-- or multiples of three."

"This brings us to an identification. I have two kinds of twoness here. There was the polar twoness, the two in every layer. . .

"There is another kind of twoness-- because remember in this formula we have in the first layer, 12 balls, then 42 balls, then 92 around one ball. And I said the center, the top ball there, was just one ball all by itself. Let us take our formula for how many balls there are in a layer. Quite clearly, the first ball has no layers-- no outside layer, does it? So the frequency is zero. You can't have frequency without two to give it some integral. So our single ball, as nucleus per se, doesn't have any layers around it, so it is zero. So frequency is zero. Frequency to the second power is zero times ten, which is zero, and plus two is two. So the center ball always has a value of two. Because the exterior is convex and the interior is concave, and because convex and concave are not the same-- because one is an energy diffuser and one is an energy concentrator-- this means then that every ball has two kinds of qualities of two. It has an additive twoness of the balls plus an insideness-and-outsideness twoness."

"That was a multiplicative twoness. So I have a formula here where there are two balls multiplied by the constant relative abundance. Once the poles are taken out there is a constant relative abundance of vertexes to base edge. For every vertex, for every event in the Universe, for each star, there has to be two face and three edges (or three lines or three vectors). . . in absolute constant relative abundance, and the only difference all the way down through here is then, there is a multiplicative twoness, outwardness and inwardness, plus one of the prime numbers: 1, 2, 3, and 5 are the prime numbers. There is a very great regularity showing up. And it was then at the top of the five that we got our 92. . . . uranium . . . Whether the regularities go inside or out you get the same thing."
