Background Nothingness:
"When you draw the triangle on the Earth's surface it shows how our mathematics is really pre-Euler. The triangle also demonstrates self and otherness. The spherical triangle is the first awareness: there is an inherent twoness in the triangle's insideness and outsideness and the axis of the two poles constitute the two points of self and otherness. The background nothingness of these two points represents an area not contained by a line. Euler did not realize that there could be an area not contained by a line.
"One spherical triangle on the Earth's surface = four triangles because that's the only way you can define a triangle. Euler did not recognize the background nothingness of the outside triangles."

If we make an X configuration with one ball at the center common to both triangles of the X, the ball at the intersection common to both represents the zero-- or the place where the waves can pass through each other. The zero always accommodates when two waves come together. We know that atoms close pack in this manner and we know how wave phenomena such as radio waves behave. And now we have a model to explain how they do not interfere."

Balls Coming Together:
"If you take one sphere, it can, in a sense, go anywhere in the Universe. I have another sphere in the Universe and the two come together. They can do anything in the Universe except go through each other. If they become tangent they roll around on each other very tightly.
"Now I have a third sphere here. I had one sphere first and it was all alone; then I have two; they can roll around on each other. From the distance you see just the profile of a dumbbell, but they are very free to roll. Now along comes a third sphere and it nests in the valley. This makes a train of gears with each one geared to the next one. Even numbers of gears will always reciprocate and the odd numbers will always block. This way-- a plus or minus, or whatever it is-- it is going to block. So no longer can those balls roll in a plane on the triangle which they form. If one tries to go one way it will make the next go the other way; and one can't be moving in two different ways, so odd numbers will always block."

Therefore, all it can do is evolute. The three balls can evolute . . . like a rubber doughnut. I could have it open as a torus. They could open its top and come in at the bottom, so they have a degree of freedom. Now I have a fourth ball that comes around in there and it nests on top of these. Now it can no longer even evolute and, for the first time, all motion is blocked. This makes a tetrahedron: I connect the centers of these spheres as a tetrahedron. This is where stability begins. The tetrahedron is where the triangle gives what we call a 'structure' or something that doesn't change its pattern any more. It was dynamic up to that time.

RBF Definitions
(a)
"People think spontaneously of a balloon as a continuous skin,
or a solidly impervious, unitary, and spherically closed
membrane holding the gas. They say that because the gas can't
get out and because it is under pressure, the pressure makes
the balloon spheroidal. This means the gas is pushing the skin
outwardly in all directions.
"But if we look at this skin with a microscope we find that it
is not a continuous film at all. It is full of holes.
Instead it is in fact a net. If we look at the net
atomically we will see that the tensional net's threads are
discontinuous, being in reality "Milky-Way-like" constellations,
great energy aggregates cohering only 'gravitationally' to act
as the 'webbing' of the pneumatic ball's net.
"In a gas balloon we do not have a continuous membrane of film.
There is no such thing as a continuous 'solid' skin or 'solid'
anything in Universe. But we do have a network pattern, a
network of energy actions that is interspersed with vast
spaces or lack of energy events. But the spaces between the
energy action net are smaller than are the internally
captivated and mutually interrepelled gas molecules, wherefore"

the gas molecules, which are complex local, low-frequency energy events interfere with the higher frequency net webbing events. The pattern is similar to that of fish, crowded in a net, and therefore running tangentially outward into the net in approximately all directions.
"A gas balloon' exterior tension 'net' has the shape that it has because some of the molecules are too large to escape and-- crowded by the other molecules-- are hitting the balloon. But the molecules do not huddle together at the center and then simultaneously explode outwardly to hit the balloon skin in one omnidirectionally-outbound shock wave. The molecules near the surface are coursing in chordally ricocheting patterns all around the inner net's surface. I therefore saw that-- because every action has its reaction-- that it would be possible to pair all the molecules so that they would behave as can two swimmers who dive into a swimming tank from opposite ends, meet in the middle of the tank and then, employing each other's inertia, shove off from each other's feet in opposite directions. This pattern indicated that we could have each and all of the paired molecules bounce off"

"All of you have experienced a child's balloon and footballs full of air. The idea of a balloon as a pneumatic bag is a very familiar one. . . that it tends to take certain shapes like sausages or spheres. It doesn't take a flat disc: it wants to become a sphere. If you took two discs of rubber and joined them together at the edge, and filled them with air, if it doesn't become a lozenge, it becomes a sphere. A sphere contains the most volume and the least surface aand is the most comfortable condition. These energy patterns are always the most comfortable and the most economical conditions. Think about the pneumatic bag then. People have always thought of it as if you put air under pressure and there's sort of a solid mass of air and you jammed it in, and it's in a solid bag and can't get out. The fact is that if you look at a pneumatic bag with a microscope you will find that it is full of holes. It is made of molecules and molecules are fairly remote from one another, and atomically it is full of holes. It is not solid and in fact the components are not even touching each other atomically."

"They are like the tensegrities. In the tensegrities you either have gravity, electromagnetism, and you don't have any strings at all. The pneumatic bag then is full of holes and you can see them under a microscope. Therefore, it is not what we used to talk about as a solid membrane. Our concept 'solid' gets to be lessand less reliable the more we think about it, and the more we experiment. So if it is full of holes it is a net and not a bag, so let us call it a net. It is a net in which the holes are so small that the molecules are larger than the holes and they can't get out. The molecules are gas and there is an integrity of the molecule of gas and it is one of these tensegrity kinds of integrity also, but it has a minimum dimension and it can't get out those holes. The next thing we discover is what we call the pressure of the gases as explained by what we call the kinetics of gases. That is, the molecules are in motion. They are not rigid. There is nothing static here at all pushing against that net-- but they are hitting it like projectiles. Not only is there a critical proximity that shows up physically, but there are critical proximities tensionally and critical proximi- ties compressionally, that is, there are repellings, "

"as we would find out in electromagnetics: so there are domains of actions, and these molecules want certain sizes. When you pressure too many of these patterns into the same area there is not room enough and they develop a very high speed. And speed makes up for the crowding. How can you do that ?
"I spoke to you the other day about the airplanes coming in for a landing and while they're in the sky they seem to be great distances apart. The minute they land they are slowed down and they are much closer to each other. It is fairly simple to work this out. If you have something at a very high speed, the amount of time at any one point is a very short time. The amount of time that it would be at any one point for something to hit it would be very much lessened by the speed. The higher the velocity, the lesser the possibility of interference in any one local. So we have the patterns making themselves comfortable inside the pneumatic bag by increasing the velocity so that it can take care of the interferences that are developing. This velocity then, gives us what we call pressure or heat; it can be read either way-- and if you feel the pneumatic"

"you find it getting hotter. What makes the net take the shape that it does is simply the molecules that happen to hit it. The molecules that are not hitting it have nothing to do with its shape. There is potential that other molecules might hit the network, but that is not what we are talking about. The shape it has is by virtue of the ones that happen to hit it.
"One of the things I saw, of course, was that when we are crowding them in that one pattern, it was using the other pattern as action, reaction, and resultant. Therefore we can see that when one is going out to hit it; it is pushing another one inwardly, or some other direction. But we discover mathematically that it would be impossible to get all of them to go to an absolute common center because that would require a lot more pressure. It would have to be a smaller space so the patterns are not all from center outwardly against the bag. Each one of the patterns are ricocheting around the bag, and so one hits the bag, like this, and then the reaction causes another one to hit the bag on the other side. Then we have some that are inside there, in movement and hitting and changing the angles of"

"the others, and precessing them but not hitting the bag. I saw that we can have two swimmers and they can jump off the same end of the swimming tank together, go to the other end, and use the inertia of the tank to shove off, to go in the other direction and build up their velocity. If you could start the two swimmers at opposite ends of the tank and they could get to the middle of the tank and push off from each other's feet, then they would go off and hit the other end of the tank. If the tank was pretty small and they did that, they could shove off from each other's feet and hit the end of the tank pretty hard. So we could have conditions where these molecules shoving off from one another, and very close to the bag, would make simply a chord and ricochet off. . . You could study the ways these are hitting and the patterns they are making, and when they hit they ricochet off and make another angle, so they are the ones that are accounting for all the work. . . So this pattern of the swimmers, of the two meeting each other and they bounce off like that, hit the bag, and then run into another pair. You begin to find that they are pairable. So we discover that all we are accounting for can be paired. The chord of an arc is always less distance than the length of the arc itself."

If we make a microscopic inspection of a pneumatic balloon, we will find that the balloon skin is full of holes between its molecular chains, with a secondary and far smaller space continuity of 'all holes' or 'continuous space' between the remotely islanded energetic components of each each molecule's respective atomic nuclear constellations. All these humanly invisible balloon 'holes' are too small for molecules of gas to escape through. Because the balloon's skin is full of holes, it is really a subvisible spherical netting, rather than a 'flexibly solid film,' within which the gaseous element molecules are crowded into lesser volume than required by their respective energetic, ecological domains, like fish within a seiner's net. The resultants of forces of all these net-frustrated molecular actions is angularly outward of the balloon's geometrical center-- each surface molecule of the interior group of pressured gas has a vectorial action and reaction pattern identical to a spherical chord. In such enclosure of pressured gas, random sizes of molecules, each too large for the spherical molecular netting's holes, impinge randomly upon the interior webbing of the spherically [Cite reference in IE1, pp 169-170]

However, in the geodesic, tensional integrity spherical nets the m islands of interior compressional chordal struts impinge in discrete order at the exact vertexes of the enclosing finite tensional network. My independent satellite or moon structures are then the most economical, frequency modulated, dynamic balances between outwar! m bound resultants of force and inward bound results of force. The exterior tensional net is a finite system successfully binding the otherwise randomly entropic infinity of outbound, self-disassociative forces. [THIS TEXT APPEARS IN 1*1, pp.169-170]

If the frequency is high enough the size of the interstices of the tensegrity net may become so relatively small as to arrest the passage of any phenomena larger than the holes. If frequency is high enough, neither water nor air molecules can pass through. They may be made to keep out the, weather-complex while admitting radar's microwaves and light, etc. If we 'up' the frequency sufficiently, we will decrease the residual compressional islands to the microscopic magnitude of atoms, which only serves to disclose that the atoms and their nuclei are themselves geodesic tensegrity structures, ergo compatible with this ultimate, frequency limit, a fact that is now swiftly looming into the nuclear physicists' ken.
We now comprehend that the tensegrity geodesic structuring provides the first true and visualizable model of pneumatic structures in which the relative thickness of the enclosing films, in proportion to diameter, rapidly decreases with the increasing size of the balloons.

"In the case of the geodesic tensegrity structures, however, no over-crowding of interior gas molecules, imprisoned within a submolecular mesh net, is necessary to thrust the net's structure outward from its spherical geometric center, because the compressionalm struts, locally islanded, as outward thrusting struts at both their ends, push the spherical net outwardly at every vertexial advance of network convergence. Geodesic tensegrities are then 'hollowed out' balloons, discarding their redundantly 'solid' air core.
"The geodesic tensegrity is a hollowed out balloon in which those specific molecules of gas which happen to be impinging from within against m the skin at any one moment (thus pushing it outwardly) are replaced by the islanded geodesic struts. It is possible then to sew pockets on the inside surface of a balloon skin corresponding in pattern to the islanded geodesic struts and to insert stiff battens into those pockets which cause the otherwise limp balloon bag to take spherical shape as itwould if filled with a pressured-in gas."

Bare Maximum:
". . . We found that the only way we could really show that we could make the world work for 100 percent of humanity was to show that we could provide the energy needs, externally and internally, to every human being on Earth. That was the only way we could, in a sense . . . measure that we had provided for the world's needs. So we started off and tried to figure out exactly what would be bare maximum. . . How much had to be provided to every human being as fast as possible to give them their high standard of living and totally reinvestable time in the sense that all of the survival needs were taken care of and they would be able to invest all their time in their own lives/
"We made these two charts to give a graphic representation of how we want to move to that bare maximum in external metabolics and kilowatt hours and internal metabolics meaning calories and protein. And if you see the chart. . . this is the increase in our kilowatt hours and that's population. So as these curves rise, you see them going more and more horizontal towards bare maximum. In 1965 the majority of the population is below the kilowatt hours

Bare Maximum:
"When we get enough power for agriculture, in 1980, we will be able to accelerate the production of food a great deal more. Our acceleration is going to increase. The number of people that are fed with a certain diet is increasing. Despite the increasing population, and the inefficiency of the system, people are getting better and better fed all the time. By 1954-- on the graph-- the majority of the people on the Earth are receiving approximately 1800 calories. This sets you below our bare minimum level: the level at which you can function at all . . . way below our bare maximum, which is the level at which you can be truly human. But the bare minimum is really a sub-human level of existence. It's an extremely low level of consciousness. But in 1967, the level at which the greatest number of people on Earth, in other words over 50 percent of the people on Earth, are receiving over 2,000 calories, or about 2,400, which gets the majority of humans above the bare minimum. So the majority of world man is presently conscious, conscious of himself as a physical being, but not yet able to function well until he gets up to the bare maximum level."

Bare Maximum:
"Until we get everybody up to the bare maximum level we really won't be able to function as a worldwide organization. So we've got a pressure building up here. We've got people that are conscious of themselves physically but who can't truly function on the level of efficiency of mankind. So the pressure is building up to get rid of this inefficiency in agriculture. You can probably get efficiency up from 10 percent to 50 percent or 75 percent of the agricultural system. When you get over 50 percent of the people say, above 3,000 calories, man is going to really begin to be on a high level of consciousness, as a world organism; and it's going to be very quickly that the entire world is going to be able to be at the bare maximum."

"I give the explanation of a barrel. In a barrel you have a number of staves parallel to one another. These staves make a cross cut through the barrel. You'll find each of these staves looks like a keystone in an arch. Eachm stave is a truncated section of a triangle whose interior apex would be at the center of the barrel. So you just cut the beautiful triangular wedges, but you cut off the inner part which isn't necessary. You still have a wedge where the outer part of it is a greater chord than the inner part. Therfore, it can't fall in between the others. So all these staves are in line and parallel to one another, bound in a circle. There are comprehensive tension straps to hold them inwardly. They can't move outwardly due to the finitiness of the straps coming back upon themselves, and they can't fall inwardly on each other because their external chords are bigger than their internal. So the barrel seems to be pretty stable, butthetension bands don't touch one another-- they're in parallel to one another and the staves are in parallel. They don't cross or give you any triangulation whatsoever. In fact, they let infinity in to the system because the staves go on andon to infinity."

"So you take a blowtorch and burn out one of the wooden staves of the barrel and the whole thing collapses because that leaves enough room so that the outer part can fall in through the smaller inner part, because what the blowtorch does is let infinity into the system. . . or the nothingness of the Universe gets into the system.
"Let me now make a wooden geodesic sphere in which each of the triangular facets are external faces of a tetrahedron whose interior apex will be at the center of the sphere, and I'm going to truncate ■ those, so I will now see really a wooden barrel-- a spherical barrel and it has tension straps. But its tension straps are triangulated, they are not just in parallel. They cross one another. And once we get a crossing of two lines that cross each other like a pair of shears. . . they are unstable angularly. . . once you get the third one, suddenly it takes hold of the ends of the shears and stabilizes the opposite angle. So now we have an omnitriangulated geodesic sphere of wooden triangular plugs, corks, each one pressed against the other one, each with exterior chords larger than its interior chords and they can't fall inwardly. When the straps have great circles going completely around they won't come off and the straps are fastened to each other as they cross

"each other. Therefore, they hold themselves in position. They can't slip off the sphere. Everything is held as a beautiful harness on the omnitriangulated. . . Great circles are the shortest distance around spheres and they are intertriangulated so they're in the most comfortable position they could possibly get into. Now let me take a blowtorch and I burn out one of those wooden corks, and nothing happens. It doesn't collapse as did the wooden barrel. Why? Because it leaves an opening there all right, but it is a triangular opening and a triangular opening is a stable opening. If I burn out four of these adjacent to each other and make a larger triangle it is still a triangle and it continually frames the opening with a great circle. Hence, she will not collapse. In fact I burn out very large amounts without the thing collapsing. This suddenly gives me a fantastic realization of the fundamentals. This is really the fundamental of compound curvature. . . this three-wayness of finiteness crossing itself up and it all being most economical. Great circles are then the most economical distance between points on spheres, as against the expression that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points."

"Barrels and casks, which gave great 'container advantage' in the past, due to the finite closure of the tension circles, were limited in usefulness efficiency by the infiniteness of the extended ends of the truncated triangle sectioned staves and by the infinity which intruded between the barrels' parallel sets of circular bands."

Barrel
Index Entry
A barrel represents an advanced phase of the Roman Arch or principle of stability accomplished by simple curvature. The parallel barrel staves constitute a ring held together in compression by encompassing tension bands. Thus compression, which tends to curve, is favored in that tendency until the curving line of compression closes itself to thrust against itself. The tension line, which tends to pull true, forms itself in a finite closure of short true chords-- because tension members may be flexed while they are in tension without tendency to failure.
The tension ends are united to pull against one another. Thus we have closed circuits of tension arch-bundling compression in dynamic stability. Tension lines may also be flexed while under load, without tendency to failure, as a compound corollary of the principle to pull true and the ability to tolerate bending while tensed. Pressures exerted either outside or inside of the barrel result in outward thrust of the staves against the tension members. Thus, the latter absorb the working or random loads. ...
Barrel
Index Entry
When we press against a barrel, the stress is satisfied by the tension hoop. Each hoop represents the circle of a single plane. Thus it is seen that simple curvature stresses act in a single plane, ultimately articulating that stress in diametric opposition of a line within the plane. The stresses are then ultimately focused to the infinite poles of parallels, because the latter are unaided in interstabilization.

Basic Event
RBF Definitions
A basic event consists of three vectorial lines: the action, the reaction, and the resultant. This is the fundamental tripartite component of Universe. One positive and one negative event together make one tetrahedron, or one quantum. The number of vectors (or force lines) cohering each and every subsystem of Universe is always a number subdivisible by six, i.e., consisting of one positive and one negative event on each of three vectors, which adds up to six. This holds true topologically in all abstract patterning in Universe as well as in fundamental physics. "The six vectors represent the fundamental six, and only six, degrees of freedom in Universe. Each of these six, however, has a positive and a negative direction, and we can therefore speak of a total of 12 degrees of freedom. These 12 degrees of freedom can be conceptually visualized as the radial lines connecting the centers of gravity of the 12 spheres, closest packed around one sphere, to the center of gravity of that central sphere. The 12 degrees of freedom are also identified by the push-pull alternative directions of the tetrahedron's six edges." - Cite SYNERGETICS text at Sec. \hrefhttps://www.buckyverse.org/en/synergetics/content/chapters/500-conceptuality#section-537.15537.15; Dec'71

"There are three basic nestable possibilities shown in Fig. C. They are (1) the regular tetrahedron of four spheres; (2) the one-eighth octahedron of seven spheres; and (3) the quarter tetrahedron, with a 16th sphere nesting on a planar layer of 15 spheres. Note That this 'nesting' is only possible on triangular arrays that have no sphere at their respective centroids. This series is a prime hierarchy. One sphere on three is the first possibility with a central nest available. One sphere on six is the next possibility with an empty central nest available. One sphere on 10 is impossible as a ball is already occupying the geometrical center. The next possibility is one on 15 with a central empty nest available."

Being spherical, they are positive and negative, consisting of areas which cannot hinge back. One is inside, concave, and the other is outside, convex. So 60 positive and 60 negative triangles are the largest common denominator of unity."

"Because each of the octahedron's eight faces are subdivided by their respective six sets of spherical 'right' triangles (three positive-three negative), whose total of 6 x 8 = 48 triangles are the 48 LCD's vector-equilibrium, symmetric-phase triangles, and because 120/48 = 2½, it means that each of the vector equilibrium's 48 triangles has superimposed upon it 2½ positively askew and 2½ negatively askew triangles from out of the total inventory of 120 LCD asymmetric triangles of each of the two sets, respectively, of the two alternate phases of the icosahedron's limit of rotational aberrating of the vector equilibrium.
"This 2½ positive superimposed upon the 2½ negative, 120-LCD picture is somewhat like a Picasso duo-face painting with half a front view superimposed upon half a side view. It is then in transforming from a positive two-and-one-halfness to a negative two-and-one-halfness that the intertransformable vector-equilibrium-to-icosahedron, icosahedron-to-vector-equilibrium, equilibrium-to-disequilibriumness attains sumtotally and only dynamically a spherical fiveness."

Bathroom as Symbolism and Association:
"This is part of what the intuition of young people today says: that 'We don't want the symbolism of distinction... And it's perfectly reasonable... His father wanted it for his kids, because that's the way he associated it and as he envisioned poverty he didn't want his kids to feel that way. Therefore he got his little quarter of an acre estate, emulating what the man of success had yesterday...
"There really is pathos in here, you know. The point is that building the architecture of the present is a great anti-priority holdover.... I look at things in a highly analytical way. Human beings have so much association with this kind of a bathroom they have in that particular house. That's where they remember crawling around and being loved by their mother, and of being wanted... So terrific association; that's the way a bathroom should be. That's to such an extent that when as a kid you go into somebody else's house and say, 'I don't like bathrooms like that-- this is the only kind of a bathroom, the way I have it.' The association thing is very, very powerful. In 1927 society didn't want to listen at all; they were terribly annoyed by my being analytical about housing. It was pure symbolism and pure association."

bauhaus School: Remoteness Of:
"I have spoken in this blunt way to demonstrate the remoteness of Bauhaus concepts from those I hold. However, simplest demonstration of the fundamental remoteness of our ways is the lack of schedules of ratio of invested resources per units of performance abilities concerning structures designed by the 'International' or Bauhaus School architects. Do any of them publish what their structures weigh and what their original minimum performance requirements must be, and later prove to be, in respect to velocities of winds, heights of floods, severity of earthquakes, fires, pestilence, epidemics, etc., and what their shipping weights and volumes will be, and what man hours of work are totally involved?"

The most critical factors governing humanity's epochal transition from bumblebee-like self's honey-seeking preoccupation, which insect and avian bumbling in general inadvertently cross-fertilizes all the vegetation's terrestrial impoundments of the star-radiated energy which alone regenerates all biological life around Earth planet; and in doing so would be dehydrated were it not osmotically watercooled by its root-connected hydraulic circuitry of Earth waters' atomization for return into the sky-distributed, fresh-water-regenerating biological support system, which rooting frustrates integral procreation of the vegetation which is regeneratively cross-fertilized entirely by the insect and avian, entirely unconscious, pollen-delivering inadvertencies.

'The 'begeted' eightness as fundamental number in newness of nuclear self-regeneration may well account for the fundamental octave consisting of four plus and four minus inter-integer synergetics of intermultiplicative effects and an octave inter-insulative accommodator in the zero effect nineness as disclosed in our section on Indigs in our chapter on Numerology.
'The regenerative initial eightness of first-occurring potential nuclei at the frequency-four layer and its frequency-five confirmation of those eight as constituting true nuclei, suggests identity with the third and fourth periods of the Periodic Table of chemical elements, which occur as: 1st Period = 2 elements
2nd Period = 8 elements
3rd Period = 8 elements
'This eightness being nucleic may also relate to the relative abundance of isotopal magic numbers.'

'Believe' is a word I do not use. To believe is to take someone else's say-so in the absence of empirical evidence.
You are right to believe what can only come from another person. If you tell me you love me, I believe you.
The word to use with progress would be 'faith' not belief.... As for faith in progress, I do not think the Universe is getting any better. It is simply getting better understood. As we learn more of its principles, as we put our learning to use in guiding patterns of transformation, we can hope to improve the scenario.

Berry Picking:
"Man is not unique, then, as a toolmaker. There are many creatures that make tools, in the way of nests and other apparatus. Man is unique only in the extent to which he has employed tools. All his tools result from discovery of repeated functions and conditions that are friendly or unfavorable to the continuation of the life process. In each case of man's developing or inventing a tool, it is because he has had some experience of need. Man--early man-- doesn't have to invent being hungry or thirsty. So he tries out some things, and when he sees that some people die when they eat those red berries, he passes those berries by and keeps looking for something that will keep him going. While looking for his food, he suddenly realizes that he is very thirsty and there is no water at hand. In desperation for a while, he finally happens upon some water. Now if you come to water and you are very thirsty and you are just an ancient man, you would have to ask, 'How do I take in water?' You might plunge your head under and you get water up your nostrils--that isn't very good. I recall as a child seeing the cat and the dog lapping up their water and wondering if maybe that wasn't a better way. I saw lots of things that animals did which seemed to be very logical. I remember trying to lap"

Out stones, or by scraping out wood, and finally by forming things together-- batting clay, weaving baskets, and so forth. Once you develop the vessel, you can also begin to make it of materials that can stand up under heat that your hands couldn't stand. You can make your tool hands much bigger than they had been. You can make them stand acids that your real hands couldn't. In other words, there is a definite basic function for this tool, but you can greatly extend the limits of that functioning-- sometimes to such a degree that you don't readily recognize it as an extension of the integral function, as when we get to great tanks and reservoirs. This is something that it is very important to remember about tools.
"Thus, man has not been unique in his having developed tools, but he is unique in the extent to which he employs them. And all of this comes out of his recognizing repeated experiences and realizing that he can anticipate certain conditions and alter them favorably by making such a thing as a vessel.
"As I compare man with other creatures in relation to specialization, I observe that man discovers principles that are"

operative in his environment and he makes use of those principles. For example, we have the flying bird as a specialist; and the bird does fly beautifully; but when the bird wants to walk, it folds up its wings and therefore has to walk quite awkwardly. The fish swims superbly but can't walk on land. Man can walk on the land, but he also learns the principle of flight, and he puts on his wings and then flies. Then he takes them off so as not to be encumbered by them when he wants to walk again. He can put on his scales and go into the sea, but he is not encumbered by them when he doesn't want to use them. So man has the ability to put on and take off much more than other creatures-- which seems to be unique. This is what I mean when I speak about man's general adaptability: the fact that his functions seem to be as little encumbered as possible.
What is really unique is that man is about halfway in the range of size among all creatures-- halfway, in the middle of them-- and he has extensibility in a great many directions. This, then, says that the specialization should be in the tools and not integral to man himself. The dinosaur had a one-ton tail to knock down bananas when he came to them, but

"he didn't come to enough bananas to make pulling that one-ton tail around pay off for him. Man invents a ladder that can be left near the trees and out of the way when not in use.

"Our studies here have dealt with the externalized functions of man. I'll give you then, an integral function of man. He doesn't invent thirst. He doesn't invent his hunger. He's a berry picker. He doesn't know anything about his spaceship Earth, except that he's hungry. He goes around experimenting with things to keep him going- - to satisfy this thing. He may need water. . . terribly thirsty. Luckily he finds some water and he sticks his head in up to his nose and tries lapping like a cat. He finds the quickest way is to take his hand and dip it. He finds that two hands are better than one and then he can pour it down his throat. He says: now I want to go berry picking again and every time I do kept losing sight of my water. I get into trouble. I wish I could take this water with me. If I carry it in my hands I can't pick berries. I could put it in my mouth-- it's going to spill anyway."

Until finally when you go to the Moon you are taking your controlled environment with you, taking what you need. So the Moon is simply an extension of man's making that vessel, a vessel he can get inside of, his controlled environment.

Once I've made this cup I can make it out of a material that will take heat that my hands can't take. I can make it so I can put it over the fire to cauterize and boil and change. I can make it out of material that can handle acids my hands can't handle. I can make it ten thousand times the size of my hands.

Index Entry
Bias on One Side of the Line:
"I spoke about the early days in the Mediterranean area . . . when man thought the world was an infinite plane and that the Greek geometry was axiomatically logical. They defined a circle or a triangle as an area bound by a closed line of unit radius, or by three edges and three angles. They only accredited the area which is bound on one side of the line, simply because the area outside of the line was extended in all planar directions to infinity and was therefore undefinable. We have all been brought up at school to accredit only the integrity and identity of the area on one side of a line, which is to assume a fundamentally biased attitude towards all problems. That conditioned reflexing of bias is unnatural but is rampant in world society due to its early inculcation as the very base of what is thought of as geometrically reliable education."

Bias on One Side of the Line:
"The Greeks defined a triangle as an area bound by a perimeter of three angles and three edges. At one time, the Greeks thought of the Earth as only horizontally extended; their planes and lines went to infinity. The bound area of the triangle was finite. The 'outside' beyond the perimeter line was unbounded, infinite, occupied by barbarians, then unknown chaos. Today we know that all systems, as with Earth, are finite and return upon themselves in all directions, so that the triangle divides the definite surface of the sphere into two different areas, both definite and both bound by the same three vertexes and three edges, ergo, two spherical triangles. Both sides of the line are now validly definite."
"The reflexively deep bias of men for 'their side' is built into man's whole educational experience as relayed through generations since the Greek accrediting of only one side of the line. . . Men as yet speak of flat Earth in respect to which there is as yet an 'up' and 'down'-- where the Sun goes down. Men as yet see the Sun 'rising' and 'setting' and they as yet see only one side of a line of big patterns as valid or positive, ergo the inability to deal logically in resolving major world political biases."

Biogenetic experiments seem bound to have results which will just depart further from the middle. In due course it will become clear that you can't improve on that. ....

Daisies, peanuts, glow worms, et. al., are reproduced in direct complement to their design complexity, which involves biological and eternal environmental interplay of chemical element simplexes and compounds under a complex of energy, heat, and pressure conditions critical to the complex of chemical associating and disassociating involved. Humans thus far evolved the industrial complex designing which is only of kindergarten magnitude as compared to the complexity of the biological success of our planet Earth.

Q: How do you think they will affect the Earth?
RBF: "Very, very greatly. Only recently have we known that there was some mystical element called air and that it broke down into oxygen and other parts, and that oxygen was necessary for the lungs and knowing what it does to the blood. The point is that there was this a priori inventory of resources and behaviors of nature that made it possible for man to be born absolutely helpless and ignorant. With beautiful equipment, but helpless. Therefore, part of the invention of having a species born absolutely helpless was that it had to be looked out for. And so the air was the way you could breathe. A mother wouldn't have known how to invent a breast, or how to invent the oxygen" for her baby. "So we did have all these things and they've been so plentiful, they have permitted man to be really very ignorant, and also his being very wasteful."

When we have man in great fear, when he is ignorant and also fearful, he can panic officially and war has been an enormous official panic: great mandates to employ that which mind has already discovered . . to build up weapons. Under the aegis of the great mandate of fear. The only way the administration really has any great powers is war powers: then they can really undertake anything. If evolution really wanted man to acquire these capabilities, he could only be really motivated to do these things through fear. I hope we are coming to a breakthrough point where we are beginning to do things for logical reasons-- and it is in longing rather than fear.

Bird's Nest As A Tool:
"...A bird alters environment by making a nest, and this is related to its ability to fly. If a bird had to gestate little birds in its womb, it would become so heavy that it would be unable to fly. So we find the bird developing the process of the nest and then issuing forth new life in the form of an egg encasing both the embryo and all the nutriment that is going to be necessary to develop the embryo until it hatches as a chick. There is only one thing to be added: a very discrete amount of heat has to be given to that egg to keep it going along so that the embryo will develop.
"In designing that nest birds demonstrate an interesting adjustment to the delicacy of the process. With a great many migrating birds, the males migrate north earlier than the females, and, from their flight advantage, pick areas of the trees where there is going to be the kind of food that that type of bird needs to live-- insects or worms or whatever it may be. The males come into the trees and pick positions where nests are going to go. We are familiar with soldiers standing in a tight line and then taking room on the line, spreading out until each man has adequate elbow room. The birds do this in an omni---"

Bird's Nest As A Tool:
"directional way. Sometimes you see two birds of the same species out on the lawn, and you wonder why they seem to be fighting. What they are doing is taking positions in the trees and then making trial flights to find the nearest insect: they come together, they hit each other, they get interference, and then they spread out in their positions before the time comes to build nests. The males pick domains for their nests and sing their song, and soon the females come along. The female doesn't just stop at the first male she comes to; she waits until she finds the right song and then she comes in. And now they both get busy and build the nest. By the time the eggs are laid in the nest, it is a beautiful insulating device; the mother bird sits on top of it making a total enclosure with high insulation; mother giving off just exactly the right amount of heat to make the egg work. They have situated the nest so that the mother bird is in good position to fly to an insect or a worm, without interference from any other bird, and to get back in time, before the egg goes below the critical heat. All in all, it is an extraordinarily well-balanced design, essential to the successful flight of birds. We have here, then, an externalized function,"

When any of the creatures alter the environment in preferred ways it is complementary to their direct regeneration pattern. I call this a tool. So we find the bird making a nest. In order for the bird to be able to fly it can't have the extra weight of gestating the new bird in its womb. Therefore, it gives out new life very fast, and the egg, with all its nutriment, all its needs from here on, has the right chemistry. It needs one more thing-- energy-- in the form of heat; and the bird supplies that, the mother bird, and the nest insulates it so he doesn't lose it. So the bird, in order to be able to fly, has to take on very small amounts of energy at one time, as food. The mother bird has to be able to reach, to go from her nest and reach the worm and get back just before the egg gets below the critical heat. At any rate the bird is able to keep on flying in that way. The nest becomes a tool invented and employed by the bird. That's what I mean by a tool: an orderly alteration of the environment to complement the integral organic process. Man is not unique then as a tool maker. The spider is a tool-maker. Many creatures are tool makers. But man is unique in the extent to which he uses the tools. That is the

"impressive thing. You find all the living creatures are, relative to man, much more specialized. The bird is a very good flier, but the bird can't get rid of its wings when it's not flying; therefore it has a very hard time walking. And the fish can get on beautifully as a specialist, but it can't walk at all. We find that all the species that have become extinct have all become extinct by virtue of overspecialization."

The spider makes a web and that is a tool, and the bird makes his nest which is a tool. We find that all life carries on some kind of external environment-altering operation which, when importantly persistent and specific, detaches some of the environment from the rest of the environment and fashions the detached increment into a multifold complex which we identify as a tool with which the living species effect much greater repetitive alterations of other aspects of the environmental processes. For instance, a man takes part of a tree and shapes it into an axe handle with which he chops down other trees in order to concentrate lumber from those trees so densely that they will shed the rain. Man has developed his tool making capability to a far greater degree than has any other biological species.

RBF Definitions
"The mathematician's . . . straight line is not a straight line but is an ultra-visible high frequency, linearly articulated event. This binary mathematics methodology of halving or cybernetic 'bitting,' not only explains linear wave phenomena but also identifies Pythagoras's halving a music string to gain an exact musical octave. The computer programmed to employ the cybernetic bits of binary mathematics progressively subdivides until one of its peak or valley parts gets into congruence with the size and position of the unit we seek. This identification process is accounted for in the terms of how many bits it takes to locate the answer, that is, to 'tune in.'"

"Starting with whole Universe we quickly reach any local system within the totality by differentiating it out temporarily from the whole for intimate consideration. We do so by the process of reduction by bits.
"Bits is the term used in the binary mathematics of computer operation. Once you state what your realistic, optimum recognition of totality consists of, then you find how many bits or subdivision stages it will take to isolate any items within that totality.
"It is like the childhood game of Twenty Questions in which you start by saying, 'Is it physical or metaphysical?' Next: 'Is it animate or inanimate?' (One bit.) 'Is it big or little?' (Two bits.) 'Is it hot or cold?' (Three bits.) It takes only a few bits to find what you want. When we use bit subdivision to ferret out the components of our problems, we do exactly what the computer is designed to do, for the computer's mechanism consists of simple go-no go, or yes-and-no circuit valves, or binary math. valves."

"We keep 'halving' the halves of Universe until we refine out the desired bit. In four halvings you have eliminated 94 percent of irrelevant Universe. In seven halving you have removed 99.2 percent of irrelevant Universe. Operating as fast as multithousands of halvings per second, the computer 'seems' to produce 'instantaneous' answers.
"Thus we learn that our naturally spontaneous faculties for acquiring a comprehensive education make it easy to instruct the computer and thus to obtain its swift answers. Best of all, when we get the answers we have comprehensive awareness of the relative significance, utility, and beauty of the answers in respect to our general universal-evolution conceptioning."

Boats at Anchor Retard the River's Flow
RBF Definitions
"... No matter how meager the network of zonal relationships
of the residually considered star set of holding-pattern
relevancy, the latter shuntingly impedes in some degree the
velocity of omnidirectional universal information traffic,
forced by geometrical surroundment to pass through the
zonal constellation. If a squadron of boats enters a river's
mouth and passes upstream and anchors, their presence and the
friction of their hulls will mildly retard or choke the
river's flow. Thus do the constellation of considered events
mildly choke the otherwise unimpeded universal and geodesically-
inter-routed communication traffic which they have
separated into the two (micro-macro) realms. As Heisenberg
shows in the principle of ultimate indeterminism the physical
act of measurement always alters the behavior of the measured
phenomenon."

"Nature permits us to separate out the different periodicities to consider each problem-- each type of part-- separately. Instruments can monitor the variables. The pilot intervenes only on those few occasions when the access to generalized principles afforded by the mind is required.

"There is another generalized cosmic law known as Boltzmann's law, which is relevant to the stars as cosmic energy storehouses which, though long-lived, eventually dissipate all their energy by radiational export. Boltzmann's law states in effect that 'within a closed system-- in this instance the Universe itself-- there are oscillations and evolutions between high and low energy concentrations and diffusions. This holds true all the way from the Universe itself to the smallest atomic nucleus components-- and energy is never lost from the total system. While the Sun may be feeding energy to each of its planets, we do not know that they have means of storing it and sorting it to the degree that we do know indeed that the Sun is being impounded on our planet Earth by the refraction of the atmosphere, by the refraction of the water, with the Sun heating the oceans, and all the vegetation growing and impounding the radiations by photosynthesis, and with all the hydrocarbons we call fossil fuels being buried deeply within Earth's crystalline mantle. The planet Earth is one place we know with empirical certitude to be collecting, sorting, and storing energies in chemically orderly ways. As with the weather, there are cosmic high pressures and low pressures."

"Earth is a cosmic low pressure center, drinking in the radiation from the cosmic 'high pressure' Sun and other stars--somday itself to become a star. All this recycling of energy, packaged as matter and redistributed as radiation, is done on such a grand scale in the Universe that it is able to eternally conserve and meet all complex evolutionary transformation requirements in an infinitely competent manner-- forever.
"I have introduced this big-scheme thinking because it was in just such terms that I found my 1927 resolution forcing me to think-- in order to be truly omniconsiderate. I had always to think about the fact that the Earth is a tiny planet where energy is supposed to be stored and saved, and that we must learn to operate it successfully for all humanity to come and do so within our natural cosmic energy income. This made it clear that good design on behalf of our fellow humans and all their generations to come must be considerate of the fact that Earth is a place where energy is being sent primarily for storage, wherefore we are only cosmically, which is realistically-ally, entitled to use energy out of our energy income in what must be very meager amounts, which must be very efficiently"

"Used in order not to frustrate what evolution is trying to do. To make the Earth a place where energy is being successfully stored we must stop burning those fossil fuels. It's all right to use a little of it as a self-starter to link in with the main engines of Universe. We use storage batteries to power our automobile self-starters with which in turn we get our main engines going which in turn regenerate and we refill our batteries.
"Demonstrating the Boltzmann principle, the main engines of our Universe are celestially and eternally pulsed between the gravitational concentration of energy and the radiational exporting of the stars. Physics' gravitational constant is greater than the radiational constant by a very small percentage. The eternal integrity of the Universe seems vested in the fractional supremacy of cosmic coherence over its disintegrative proclivities.

"When in 1927 I began to consider what the little individual could do on behalf of his fellow man that governments and corporations could not do, it became evident that the individual was the only one that could deliberately find the time to think in a cosmically adequate manner. Each human has his lifetime to invest. If he commits it to operations in cosmic integrities he will find himself participating in nature's own formulations and will realize the potentials of her various freedoms and choices, to be employed to the advantage of all human beings to come, in order that humans may fulfill their cosmic functioning on board of our planet.

"All stars radiate energy in a random manner. Randomness begets increasing disorder which is self-expansive. Boltzmann's law and the principles of nonreflective complementarity both require a cosmic countering of the expansive disorder by an increasing orderliness of local cosmic concentrations of energy. We find energy being received on our planet and being beautifully refracted by the atmosphere in orderly frequencies of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. Next, the Sun-exported radiation is refracted by the water and impounded as orderly heat, and the vegetation impounds the Sun radiation by exquisitely orderly photosynthesis and produces beautiful orderly molecular structures, thus converting very random, cloud-interrupted radiation into orderly molecular growths as little seeds, transforming into trees, lambs, and a myriad of other highly regular organic species.

It would be almost preposterous (though provocative of deep consideration) for Mrs. Murphy to suggest to her child that Newton's 'Optics' and 'Bringing Up Father' are one and the same article, just book.

"Boole gave scientists a powerful tool for attacking problems when the obvious approaches refused to yield informative results. Boole employed reductio ad absurdum. He exhausted all the impossibles and thereby isolated a 'very probable' answer. Charles Fort, failing to gain the publisher's-- and thereby society's-- consideration of his positive theories left the world with a Boolean-like confrontation of illogical events. Charles Fort as a man pf true vision purposefully inverted the equations. By getting the publishers to publish the absurd he proved his point that the publishers published only the absurd."

Remember that spherical arc always subtends a central angle. We know what the central angles are and so therefore we can lay this out and we find that it is possible to take whole triangles and fold them in such a way that they form sort of bow knot things-- they are folded and make kind of conic things. The cones come together and fasten edge-to-edge with no duplication. And they form the same great circles. This is an important phenomenon because it is a basic characteristic of wave phenomena that really acts like a propeller blade. That is, all waves always come back upon themselves. We have then a perfect wave control by dealing in 360 degrees-- and it comes back on itself, yet we have precessional interferences with itself where it makes itself into little local bow ties-- actually folded up like a great circle."

"...I am convinced of the weightlessness of all metaphysics, which weightlessness in turn implies immortality. Because the human's tactile sense has been operative months before birth as the only communication means between the pregnant mother and the live child she is bearing, the tactile sense becomes the comparative base for all the post-natally and successively acquired sensibilities. After birth, first the olfactoral sense comes into play, as the child breathes in its own oxygen and sucks in its own nutriment. Considerably later the sound tuning is added to the apprehending-comprehending teleologic conversion of information from subjective awareness to objective use in the ever developing capability to adjust and cope with environmental events. Lastly, the optical tuning and scanning capability comes into play in the human imaginations 'TV Studio.' Because primitive sensing is tactile, man measures his distances horizontally in feet, vertically in hands. Because light's speed of 700 million miles per hour is too fast for man to sense tactilely, he has misinterpreted the visual received information as being instantaneous, thus he mistakenly thinks he 'sees' objects and events occurring outside his physical organism, whereas radiation has bounced off and relayed the information through the human's optical"

"As a consequence of humans' mistaken assumption of instantaneousity, man not only thinks he sees objects outside himself, but also identifies the external objects by their tactile surfaces. Thus men tend to 'think' of one another in the form of their tactile modeling. Men do not think of one another, as do dogs, in the forms of their smellable stature, or in the terms of their hearable dimension. Nonetheless, when we hear the word 'atom' we are hearing Democritus, for it was he who evolved the sound word 'atom' to identify his unique metaphysical conclusions in regard to the nature of the physical world. Democritus is as large and as persistent in time dimension as may the word 'atom' persist in man's communicable thought.

Brouwer's Theorem:
"Another very powerful mathematician was Brouwer. His theorem demonstrates that if a number of points on a plane are stirred around, it will be found after all the stirring that one of the points did not move relative to all the others. One point is always the center of the total movement of all the points. but the mathematicians oversimplified the planar concept. In synergetics the plane has to be the surface of a system that not only has insideness and outsideness but also has an obverse and re-exterior. Therefore, in view of Brouwer, there must also always be another point on the opposite side of the system stirring that also does not move.
"Every fluidly bestirred system has two opposed polar points that do not move. These two polar points identify the system's neutral axis."

Brouwer's Theorem:
"Brouwer's theorem shows that when x number of points are stirred randomly on a plane, it can be proved mathematically-- when the stirring is stopped-- that one of the points was always at the center of the total stirring, and was therefore never disturbed in respect to all the others. It is also demonstrable that any plane surface suitable for stirring things upon, must be part of a system that has an obverse surface polarly opposite to that used for the stirring; and the two produce poles in any bestirred complex system."

Index Entry
Brouwer's mathematical theorem states that if any number of points on a plane are stirred around an x amount, on cessation of the stirring, one of the points may be shown to have been the center point of the stirring-- and never to have moved in relation to the others. In order to be 'stirred,' these points must have multidimensionality and the cluster of stirred points must have obverse and reverse sides. Therefore, the obverse-reverse sides must each have visible points that were the centers of the stirring and, short though the distance between the obverse-reverse surface neutral center points, the short line between the obverse-reverse visible central points' obverse-reverse poles constitutes a neutral axis of the system of points and isolates two points for axial functioning in every point system swarm. Pauli's exclusion principle verifies that each of the stirred points in Brouwer's theorem and the point which did not move have their inherently separate counterpart points which discloses both the neutral axis formed by the two points that do not move and the obverse and reverse sets of moving points. Thus we discover that even a point's angular topological difference between its definiteness and its finiteness is 720°. - Cite OMNIDIRECTIONAL HALO, p.148, 1960

Here is a structure that is a three-frequency of modular subdivision, they are six-frequency octahedra. We truncate its corners and we get six little squares and we get eight hexagons, and that is called the tetrakaidecahedron, a fourteen-faceted figure, and it is called Lord Kelvin's 'solid.' Lord Kelvin discovered that this was an all-space filler. There are three (regular) all-space fillers in geometry: the cube, the rhombic dodecahedron, and the tetrakaidecahedron. The volume of the tetrakaidecahedron is 96. It again is a nice even number, but it is a very complex frequency phenomenon. There are various coincidences of our geometry, our mathematical accounting, with that of the viruses and the algae and the radiolaria-- but then we get into all the living phenomena and all the living phenomena are characterized by life cells. And all life cells are little chambers. Life cells and bubbles have the same fundamental characteristic with one another.

". . . Living phenomena are characterized by life cells and all life cells are little chambers. Life cells and bubbles have the same fundamental characteristic. A glass jar with a little glycerin in with some soap well homogenized makes bubbles which hold their shape very nicely. The top layer of bubbles when there is air above them are round but where the bubbles are adjacent to one another and there is no free space or air around them, they will have flat membranes between the individual bubbles. The top layer tends to round like bubbles do but in between them their facets are stretched tensional membranes. A characteristic of all the bubbles and all the life cells is that while they are quite asymmetrical chambers, some facets are big and some are small and some are hexagons and strange polygons, they are all fourteen faceted. The fourteen faces correspond to the tetra-kai-deca-hedron or to the vector equilibrium. The vector equilibrium has six square faces and eight triangular faces, so 8 + 6 = 14. A tetra-kai-deca hedron has four vertexes, four faces, and six edges, and 4 + 4 + 6 = 14. . . . they correspond to the fourteen facets

"Little exquisite bubble domes, too small for man-occupancy, are made by nature at possibly the highest mass production velocity anywhere manifest to man. Some are of split-second longevity. Some are of great longevity. Nature combines these minusculc domical structures in myriad varieties of complex structural arrangements occurring as both organic and inorganic compounds and as cellular agglomerates. Most of these complex domical structuring accomplishments by nature are realized at modular frequency magnitudes infra to man's sensorial tunability and apprehension."

Bubble Bursting
Index Entry
"Bubble bursting is not a mechanical breakage at all. As we know, liquids are bivalent, hinge-connected. . . the liquid bubble surface is stretched as one single layer of the octet truss, which single truss layer accommodates two layers of closest packed spheres in which the atoms appear in critical proximity.
"When the critical proximity of the atoms is severed, and the atoms separate into single spheres, we have the single-bonded, corner-tethered condition of gases with holes in between the atoms, ergo there is still gas, but there is no longer any membrane. In this condition the gas molecules equal what they call particles, separate energy packages too diffuse to form a structural membrane. Separate gas particles are thus mixed up and nontunable with other systems. Each particle behaves like the isolated tetrahedron that connects any two points in Universe across what they call space and what we call nontunable."

Bubbles in the Wake of a Ship:
"I remember looking at the ship's wake which was all white. The wake is white because of different refractions of light, and that whiteness was refracted by bubbles. I said, 'How many bubbles am I looking at?' I made some quick estimates. I tried to count the bubbles in a spoonful. I found I was getting into the multi-billions, into astronomical numbers.
"So then I said, 'each one of these little bubbles is a sphere, and I have been taught that in order to design a sphere I have to employ pi.' I had learned by mathematical logic that pi is a transcendental irrational and can't be resolved. I said, 'To how many places does nature carry out pi as she manufactures each bubble before deciding that because she cannot get a final answer she must make an arbitrary or artificial cut off and thus attempt to sneak out a fake or imperfect bubble.' I said, 'I don't think nature is using pi.' Nature is too elegant to put up with such hidden tricks."

Bubbles in the Wake of a Ship Sequence:
"If the XYZ-90 degree coordinate system were not the one employed by nature, then the awkward roughness of the XYZ's irrational constants would be understandable. This was made evident to me while I was in the Navy. Looking back at the wake of my ship one day in 1917 I became interested in its beautiful white path. I said to myself, 'That path is white because of the different refractions of light by the bubbles of water-- H2O (not H(pi)O). The bubbles are beautiful little spheres. I wonder how many bubbles I am looking at stretching miles astern?'
"I began to make calculations of how many bubbles there were per cubic foot of water. I began to find that in claculating the ship's white wake I was dealing in quintillions to the fourth power or some such fantastically absurd number of bubbles. And nature was making these bubbles in sublimely swift ease!
"Any time one looks carefully at a bubble one is impressed with the beauty of its structure, its beautiful sphericity glinting with the colors of the spectrum. It is ephemeral--"

"Inasmuch as the kind of mathematics I had learned of in school required the use of the XYZ coordinate system and the necessity of employing pi in calculating the spheres, I wondered 'to how many decimal places does nature carry out pi before she decides that the computation can't be concluded?' Next I wondered, 'to how many arbitrary decimal places does nature carry out the transcendental irrational before she decides to say it's a bad job and call it off?' If nature uses pi she has to do what we call fudging of her design which means improvising, compromising. I thought sympathetically of nature's having to make all those myriad frustrated decisions each time she makes a bubble. I didn't see how she managed to formulate the wake of every ship while managing the rest of the Universe if she had to make all those decisions. So I said to myself, 'I don't think nature uses pi. I think she has some other mathematical way of coordinating her undertakings.'

"Humanity historically has thought of life as just a trial-- a question of how to survive, not how to live today. Go back to the pharaohs, even their lives were so bad that they thought it was a test--so they built pyramids for afterlife.
"Then there was the rich middle class--the Greeks and Romans. They built mausoleums. Suddenly along came Buddha...and 600 years later, Christ... Mohamed followed... and he said we can take care of everyone with our mosques and temples. There was so much technology by this time they thought, 'we can get everybody through the natural life and we can take care of the kings and nobles too.'
"We push buttons. We turn the wheel of the car to get it around the corner, but we don't know how it works. The problem is how to get everybody on Spaceship Earth to understand technology. We are still playing the game of the pharaoh...getting through life without stopping to try and understand it. We don't need a pharaoh to use a lever.

"I don't want to dwell on the negatives. I feel that the answer to the question of how urban sprawl happened is that there is no social organization. Though there are a great many studies and planners, planners have no authority and they find the plans for communities continually overridden by people with ingenious ways for making money. And we've seen orchard after orchard belonging to a farmer go out of farming because the real estate man came along and showed that he could make some money out of it. And so he gets an option on it and all kinds of federal help with which he can manipulate to get in the sewers, and so forth... not making a very large amount of money. It's entirely a matter of individual ingenuity and how to make money: that's why we have urban sprawl.

"We had world War I. It became a world war because it involved not just the agricultural advantages of the different countries, but suddenly the realization that taking metals and tins from the Malay Straits and throwing it thinly onto steel sheets to make tin cans which would hermetically seal food, and food that used to rot and never reach mouths, could suddenly feed people around the world. An entirely new world resource was the metals that came into use. That's why it was called World war I, rather then the local farming identities of individual nations.
"We have then in World War I the development of enormous production capability. After the war the production capability, the buildings, did not go away. And it was invested in two main ways. Producing automobiles, which the banks did not like because they did not like that kind of mortgage. But later they went into farm machinery and sold the farm machinery to the farmer on time payments; and the banks did like that because they took in not only chattel mortgages on the machinery but mortgages on the farms as well. In the bad year, 1926, the farmers could not pay their instalments on the machinery and gradually all the farms were taken in on foreclosed mortgages. This would be the whole basis of the great '29 crash."

"At the time of the 1929 crash and following depression and at the beginning of the New Deal in 1933, the United States government took over the underwriting of the obsolete building industry. Cutting loose from the historical earned-savings purchasing capability, and instituting purchasing-capability based on future earnings of the people, The U.S. Government instituted 20-, 30- and 40-year mortgages that need, in effect, never be reduced so long as the periodically renegotiated obligations' interest was being paid.
"If the buildings were as efficient as airspace technology could render them, they would have paid for themselves in five years or better--as does all good machinery. What the government financed was continuation and multiplication of inefficiency, as manifest today--1976--in the fact that out of every 100 units of energy consumed in the U.S. only five units of effective life-supporting physical work is realized; that is, our 'system' has an overall techno-economic efficiency of only five percent.

Buildings as Machines:
"While buildings expand and contract physically between summer's heat and winter's cold, and even between night and day temperatures, those size changings are invisible to the human eye. While buildings are stressed importantly by great wind loads and snow loads-- great skyscrapers sway as much as a foot, but relatively slowly-- the deflective motions are invisible to man. Invisible also are the motions of the hands of the clock, or of atomic components of matter, though the latter hither-and-yon radiationally and locally, as matter, at 700 million mph, speeds. So also invisible to man are the vast high speed motions of the stars and the relatively slow growth of trees. When man cannot see the motion, he rarely thinks realistically about it. He is not prone to be usefully critical of the invisible, yet real, kinetics of design function suitability, nor of relative performance efficiency. Nor are humans inclined to put their experience to inventive advantage for others until they have had a long series of personal inconveniences and accidents to prompt them into comprehending the involved critical events which they cannot see."

Buildings as Machines:
"Humans tend to identify as machines only those complex devices which they can see move. Unable to see their buildings' seasonally slow energy transformations functioning as machines, which indeed they are, humans fail to design their buildings with the same degree of scientific integrity with which, for instance, they conduct the 10 million discrete, but mostly invisible, tasks that have to be completed from the outset of countdown to the successful blast-off of a rocketed, humanly manned, extraterrestrially traveling capsule. As a consequence of man's inability to see the energy transformation motions involved, the structural design of his land buildings and his livingry mechanics, such as plumbing equipment, lag three thousand years behind the evolution in airspace technology standards. Humanity's housing structures and livingry in general are, to a high degree, only superstitiously-evolved economic prowess symbols, inefficiently repetitious of all yesterday's make-do mistakes."

We see all these enormous numbers of office buildings being built because we have laws in all the cities that you can't live and work and sleep in the same place; so we see all the plumbing sleeping with all the typewriters and all the people sleeping in the slums. The minute we get over this nonsense-- all those buildings just being built to make money rather than to serve humanity-- then you won't really have to have a job any more. We can really convert all those buildings with all their plumbing into family houses, or apartment hotels, or whatever you want, while you are in the city coming together to do what you and I are doing, to have a metaphysical exchange. You can deploy into the country for physical development and then converge for the metaphysical. Suddenly all those buildings that are empty out there all night would be full of people and being used and you really wouldn't need all those jobs.

Index Entry
Finally it comes to an impasse and there is going to be a war. So the politicians say to the military: 'All right, we're going to have a war. What are you going to need?'
'The military says: 'Well, our side has leveled off here, but our spies tell us that the other side is going to start at this higher level of technology. They are going to be able to fire five or ten thousand yards, whatever it is, with great accuracy.'
'Naturally the politicians want to know: 'What's it going to cost to beat them?' and when they hear the answer: 'We don't have that kind of money. We can't afford it.'
'The military says: 'Buy or die.'
'Can you produce?'
'Yes, we can produce.'
'Well, no telling how we'll ever pay for it, but go ahead and produce it.'
