Index Entry
Daddy:
"All through the years Daddy was the authority. Daddy came home, brought home the food, brought home the killings; he was the hunter and the soldier; he was the farmer protecting the family.
"And Daddy saw the other people, the other soldiers and farmers; he saw the king and he was able to tell the kids what the authority says outside his authority and what the rules are. This is what his Pa taught him; this is how you handle the tools. Daddy is an authority about everything. This is the way Dad says it is and that's the way you emulate the way he says it is.
"So that was how language evolved.
"When I was 32, in 1927, suddenly Daddy came home and the kids said, 'Daddy, a man's just flown across the Atlantic. Lindbergh.' And Daddy says: 'How do you know that?' 'It's coming over the radio, Daddy.' Daddy didn't bring that news home and he hasn't brought it since.
"So a completely new thing happened as a consequence of World War I. And World War II brought us to the point where television"

Daddy:
"came in.
"Most important of all we had to invent languages. All those languages are so different; but sight is a universal language, what you see. What this did was to bring the world together in a way it had never been put together before.
"It's not really what the nescaster is saying; it's what the kids are really seeing out there anymmewhere. Kids look at the way things work. They see everbody around the world now. They are being educated together; nobody's going to put some tricks over them politically. Now this wasn't predicted. But the kids see that Dad and Mum are absolutely a minor authority. They can tell you what's going on in the shoe stores, tell you a little bit of local news, but it's all absolutely irrelevant. Dad's not telling us about Man's getting to the Moon. Man's been her for three and a half million years and Daddy's been the authority all that time. Suddenly nature has gotten enough information and the tools for communication and there's a young world here. She's cut the metaphysical cord, the metabilical cord."

Dalton: John Dalton: (1766-1844)
"Dalton was then at the mental stage of the interpretation where he thought that they really had found the smallest thing, the atom. He thought all the atoms were made up of the hydrogen atom. There was no nucleus, just atoms. They were not broken up into protons or anything else. It was just atoms and they thought they had actually found what Democritus had talked about. He thought that they had found the smallest hard core thing. It was invisible, below sight, but there it was-- if you could get a fine enough microscope you could find a hard core thing."

Darwin: Charles Robert: (1809-1882)
"Since experience is finite it can be stored, studied, directed and turned with conscious effort to human advantage. This means that evolution pivots on the conscious selective use of cumulative human experience and not on Darwin's hypothesis of chance adaptation to survival nor on his assumption of evolution independent of individual will and design."

Index Entry
There is no breeding experience of Earthians which suggests that the limited inventory of different chemical elements constituting amoebas could be progressively amplified and complexed to produce the wide variety of chemical elements constituting the unique information-harvesting organisms employed by metaphysical humanity.... It is implicit that amoebas and other simple organisms can be progressively, subdivisionally isolated out of complex organisms such as those of humans and introduced into an intercomplementary environment-sustaining complex, but not vice versa.... Darwin's evolutionary sequence was brilliantly conceived, but its occurrence programming was in reverse of reality.

Darwin: Evolution May Be Going the Other Way:
"I've been recently supported by scientific developments which suggest that I may prove to be correct in assuming that Darwin's theory of evolution is in reverse. Darwin assumed evolution proceeding from the simplex to the complex. I am confident that the Universe works the other way, developing simplexes to accommodate the a priori of a Universe in which there are 92 regenerative chemical elements. There are too many chemical elements involved in humans to be able to go from amoeba to man. Man is not born a specialist. He can't fly or swim very far, or anything. But he can use his mind to discover and employ the principle of negative pressure, which is called 'lift'; and he accomplishes flight and flies ten times as fast as the bird, then takes off his wings when he's not using them and lets others use them. So humans have the capability to understand abstract 'weightless' eternal principles and we have the maximum number of sensitivities with which to gain information and employ in principle. You can't come to this maximum complex of human sensitivities and information handling from just a hydrogen atom. There's a lot of hydrogen in us but at the time of Darwin, Dalton was the great physicist and he thought all atoms of higher number"

"Were comprised of hydrogen atoms. So with this building-block idea Darwin built a science of evolution. Now it's very easy to inbreed by concentrating parental genes and a special type-- that is to ----- breed a faster running horse by mating two fast runners. Inbreeding is always accomplished by breeding out general adaptability. It is easy to go from a man to a monkey by inbreeding but, there's no indication, nothing in the history of breeding anywhere, that suggests being able to go the other way."

"It is possible that Charles Darwin was wrong. Man may have come to Earth from another Planet. In Darwin's time all the sciences were unsophisticated and Darwin had to base his theory of evolution on available information, Now there is different information, gained from nuclear physics, genetics, molecular chemistry. Archaeologists keep finding examples of man having lived on Earth as long as four million years ago, but the evidence does not always indicate a more ape-like structure. Evolution may be going the other way-- Niwrad-- and it is possible that we may be making monkeys of ourselves."

"So I began to see that so-called evolution had been really inversed. About 1935 I had the advantage of Meeting Henry Fairfield Osborne who was at that time head of the Natural History Museum in New York and author of three volumes updating Darwin. . . . I asked him if there was anything in Darwin's data that said that the patterning could not have been in reverse. There was no question about the integrity of the interrelatedness of the patterning-- that this one is very close to that one and that there is an evolution between them-- but could the evolution not have been that of separating out, rather than associating? Might you not then have had one way the Universe came out which would have been like us . . . . I am talking about . . . . defining man as one way the Universe could have come out. . . ."

Employing the scientifically accurate words IN and Out in the place of DOWN and UP synchronizes our everyday reflexing with the 20th century-emerged electromagnetic Universe behaviors. What we once thought of only statically as 'solid things' vs. 'empty space' becomes that unique program which we have tuned into our tunable set vs. all the millions of now-being-broadcast programs which we did not have tuned in (i.e., are tuned-out, but may be tuned-in.)

Grandma, grandpa, and everyone else are eternal. A true story: Father, mother, and little boy are driving along the freeway en route to grandmother's house. Little boy keeps talking about grandpa and how he is going to play with grandpa. Finally his mother says, 'Darling, you have forgotten that grandpa is dead.' Little boy: 'What! Again?' Only residual ignorance of temporality dulls the growing comprehension and allows fear to corrupt the child's innately absolute trust in love."

Out of this sprung a fatalistic philosophy-- I see you now but soon I may never see you again. Thus death itself was not to be abhorred. God became the prevailing winds and currents which seemed to be leading you away. He carried you forward. One learned to release the old and take on the new. There was no basis for grief or nostalgia because you never touched upon the past again. This is the reason that the oriental feels so differently about death."

Humans dying in hospitals have often been weighed as they crossed the threshold between life and death. No weight is lost. Life is weightless, imponderable. When life has departed, the radiant heat, the brain-propagated energy waves, and the radiance of being are alike gone.

Pictured at Synergetics Illus. #697 are the 15 great circles developing from rotation of the icosahedron in respect to the 15 axes interconnecting opposite midpoints of the icosahedron's 30 edges. The 120 resulting right spherical triangles represent the maximum unitary subdivision of a one-radius system. This fact was long known in mathematics. Since 120 is 10 times 12... this geometric relationship may underlie both the decimal and duodecimal systems of modular accounting; and may have been derived by subdividing a finite system into its lowest common denominator,... We inherited the combined decimal and duodecimal systems from this fundamental thinking in early Babylonian science and in the mathematical invention of the Sino-Indian navigators.

"It is in evidence that Universe as the coordinate integral of all experience is finite yet nonsimultaneously recollectable-- ergo, unitarily unpatternable-- ergo, conceptually unthinkable-- ergo, undefinable. This is to say undefinable does not mean infinite or un-finite. It means that definability--de-finite is a subset of finite-- ergo pattern definition is a subset of finite-yet-unitarily-undefinable Universe. The definable conception is therefore the first thinkable subset functioning of Universe."

"I became convinced then that all life is born as genius but gets to be degenius-ed very rapidly. I wondered whether it may not be possible then to develop an environment for a new-born life where it would not get degeniuse-ed. This is why I became preoccupied with environment. I felt that a little child had what Maharishi is able to regain as human beings: how to break through to those fundamental faculties with which we are all endowed. I had hoped that I might be able to protect what we find in that new-born child, its purity and its brilliant conceptuality, its contact with eternity."

"It is my conviction, from having watched a great many babies grow up, that all of humanity is born a genius and then becomes degeniused very rapidly by unfavorable circumstances and by the frustration of all their extraordinary built-in capabilities. Everybody's specialized now. We couldn't be getting ourselves into worse trouble since we also learn that all the biological species became extinct because they over-specialized. So overspecialization's the way to extinction, and society's all tied up with specialization. Everybody is born to be a comprehensivist. If nature wants to develop a specialist, she does, and if nature wanted you to be a specialist, she'd have you born with one eye and a microscope fastened on to it." - Cite RBF in "The Listener" transcript by John Donat, 26 Sep'68

"My deliberately non-straight line gets straighter and straighter by having less and less diameter whereas your attempted straight line gets worse and worse. With my deliberate non-straighter of very high frequency, you can carry on all the geometrical proofs of the Greeks and Egyptians and all the geometries since that time with confidence that my deliberately non-continuous high frequency event tracery is much straighter than any of the lines employed by the geometers up till now. I said my deliberately non-straight line was also discontinuous as each of the thousands of fibers overlapping each other in my dacron rope consisted of molecules which consisted of myriads of atoms and each atom consisted of a plurality of separate electrons and nuclear components, the electrons being as remote from the nucleus as the Moon from our Earth, therefore discontinuous and cohered only by the mass attraction and electromagnetic laws. In a fundamental way my deliberately non-straight line, when viewed through a field emission microscope, looks like the milky way as a tracery of stars in critical proximity to one another, that is affecting one another and each holding the others as part of a system, the galactic nebula. You can think of my circlet of rope as the same fundamental pattern as the

"Pure mathematics' axiomatic concepts of straight lines are completely invalid. The pure mathematicians' straight line must be infinitely, instantly and all its parts simultaneously existent. It must avoid being progressively generated or drawn as an experimentally-produced action-trajectory of one system modifying another. Any action-trajectory's trail-width would not bear microscopic inspection without disclosing gross irregularities. Progressively closer inspections of experimentally attempted demonstrations by the pure mathematicians of their allegedly 'straight' lines always disclose increasing angular digressions from straightness.
"While the mathematicians' 'straight' lines get less straight, with ever closer inspections, the 'Quasi straight line' as a deliberately non-straight line does get progressively straighter. It does provide all the finite geometric functions heretofore served by the mathematicians' alleged but unprovable straight line.

'What the mathematician thought was a 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 of 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.'

"Nature abhors an equilibrium as much as she abhors a perfect vacuum or a perfect anything. For instance, when an airplane in flight comes to equilibrium, we call it a stall, and the plane become unmanageable and goes swiftly out of equilibrium and into a plunging field of gravity. But I saw that we could approach or employ an almost perfect equilibrium as we employed a crooked line which swiftly approached but never reached the perfect or exact. I saw that a comprehensive structural system would have to involve all the positive and negative tendencies either side of equilibrium. The comprehensive system would have also to involve all the topological pattern components and as a quasi-equilibrical structure would have to be approximately the same length; therefore, all the angulation would have to be in increments of sixty degrees."

"At the time of 1776 democracy worked very well for the U.S. when America was geographically isolated. But now, with 48-hour world-around travel, and one-minute world-around speech, the most powerfully spoken free speech is not always the voice of the people, it's just the voice of the CIA or the KGB staging demonstrations in the cold war opponents' countries where 100 people are made to look like 1,000. And all the sides are now using this psychological warfare while they are competing groups. Once communication can be seen as within a single planetary community undivided by individual sovereignties, then democracy can work perfectly again."

Democritus:
"Thus also synergetically did Democritus
Starting with the totally known complex
Of visible Universe behaviors,
Come to conceive schematically
Of the logically necessary existence
Of primary yet invisible components
Of the physical Universe
which he named 'atoms,'
More than two millennia in advance
Of nonsynergetically plodding science's
Physical verification
Of the microcosmic stardom role
Played by those atoms."

Democritus
RBF Definitions
"... 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. Because concept 'atom' provides our cognition of metaphysically immortal Democritus, the more we think of it the more astonishing it is that we identify man only as the clothes-bedecked chemistry complex through which metaphysical subconsciousness communicates to consciousness of self or others. The error of our spontaneous behavior and cognition is equivalent to our identifying those with whom we communicate via the telephone as being the telephone itself."

Democritus
Index Entry
(5th Century B.C.)
"Democritus considering experience invented the word 'atom.' He invented a very different kind of a concept. It is true that the atom they thought of turned out not to be the atom of our present exploration, but it was invisible and that he dared to think of invisible entities was very, very daring. Whenever you and I hear the word atom we hear Democritus. That is how big he is and that is pretty big and completely independent of the years."

Depression: Great Depression of 1930's:
Q. Is the recession of 1975 at all like the great depression of the 1930's?
RBF: "Not at all. It is quite different. My book 4-D was written two years before the crash but its content predicted what was coming. It's funny that not that many people owned stocks and bonds anyway.... Society was just naive.... It was depressing: people stopped being communicative.... they were just sitting in rooms. There were no protests down the street and the politicians-- like Nixon-- were just saying: There's nothing wrong here.
"But there has now been much more education. And the issues are different. The Forgotten Man is very much in today. In 1929 there was an enormous respect for power per se. The old people were supposed to know everything. And when the working man did get money he wanted to see things like the older people. But in 1975 the young people are purged. The base is different.

Ships rescue each other but people pass you up on the street. If there is anything anathema to the sailor it is a sea-going politician.
"It's been the money-makers vs. labor. Look at the way the McDonald's hamburger stands exploit the young people who work for them. But in England people still love their jobs. Our businessmen are too hard and it takes all the joy out of work. And so we just disconnect. Once we get out of the clutches of the money-makers people are going to want to work. It can be very informative to wait on tables. Now we have all these big office buildings half-empty. In the 1930's the churches paid no attention."

Descartes: (1596-1650.)
"Descartes is the first of record to have discovered that the sums of the angles of a polyhedron is always 720° less than the number of vertexes times 360°. Descartes did not equate the 720° with the tetrahedron, nor with the one unit of energy quantum which it vectorially constitutes. He did not recognize the difference between the visibly definite system and the invisibly finite universe, which is one finite invisible tetrahedron outwardly and one finite invisible tetrahedron inwardly."

Design means that all the components of the composition are interconsiderately arranged; i.e., the component behaviors, proclivities, and mathematical integrities are interaccommodatively arranged. Ergo, the family of thus-far-discovered scientifically generalized principles which are omniinteraccommodative and omniconcurrent inherently constitute a design, an eternal cosmic design whose eternal interrelationships are expressible only in abstract mathematical terms. Being exclusively mathematical, they are inherently metaphysical, weightless, abstractions, which metaphysics can only be conceived of and dealt with by intellect, and being thus far apparently eternal and discoverable only by human intellect, they altogether manifest an a priori cosmic intellect of absolute integrity."

Design (1)
Index Entry
To me the word design can mean either a weightless metaphysical conception or a physical pattern. I tend to differentiate between design as a subjective experience, i.e., designs which affect me and produce involuntary and often subconscious reactions, in contradistinction to the designs which I undertake objectively in response to stimuli. What I elect to do consciously is objective design. When we say there is a design, it indicates that an intellect has organized events into discrete and conceptual interpatternings. Snowflakes are design; crystals are design; music is design; and the electromagnetic spectrum of which the rainbow colors are but one-millionth of its range, is design; planets, stars, galaxies, and their contained behaviors, such as the periodic regularities of the chemical elements are all design-accomplishments. If a DNA-RNA genetic code programs the design of roses, elephants and bees, we will have to ask what intellect designed the DNA-RNA code, as well as the atoms and molecules which implement the coded programs.
The opposite of design is chaos. Design is intelligent or intelligible. Most of the design subjectively experienced

Many myriads of complex associability of chemical compounding of the nuclear simplexes can be experimentally discovered, or, after comprehending the order of the principles involved, deliberately invented by human mind. The chemical compounds are temporary and have limited associabilities. Human minds can then invent by deliberate design, momentarily appropriate complex associative events, as for instance hydraulics, crystallines, and plasmics, in turn involving mechanics of a complex nature and longevity. Omniautomated self parts replacing sensingly fedback industrial complexes can be comprehensively designed by human mind, the mass reproducibility and service longevity of which will always be fundamental to the design laws, both primary and corollary."

"One of the most interesting fundamental discoveries I've made relates to that. When Malthus, as an economist, received his data he was the first economist receiving total data from the total Earth as a closed system. And he found that apparently people were reproducing themselves more rapidly than they were producing goods. And then Darwin followed with his explanation of evolution as survival of only the fittest. These two compounded. Not only did the masses of these men agree that all this was correct, but they said that they were the fittest."

We have Karl Marx then running the same jargon, agreeing with the Darwinist argument-- survival of the fittest-- and saying that the fittest was the worker because the worker knew how to cope with nature. He knew how to cultivate, and handle the chisel, and so forth; and the other people were parasites. Marx had an absolutely firm conviction that this was logical; he was assuming that there was no where nearly enough to go around.
"I'm going to jump back now to the earliest days of humans on our planet and I'm going to note that amongst the mammals, or advanced mammals such as horses, we can see a stallion born amongst other stallions and he's a little bigger and tougher and he is a challenge to the speediest and most powerful. There's a fight between these two great stallions and the one who wins inseminates the others. And nature seems to have picked this way of having fights between the leading males to see which will inseminate the group. The other males can just go hump. And the big one doesn't ask for it-- he just suddenly finds himself in that position. He fights and if he is the superior one, he carries on.

So he killed them and their flesh was very safe and gave him a whole lot of food in a great hurry. The most powerful men tended to group together and control that meat. And we find that tendency very powerfully organized in what we call the nobles-- when all the hunting and the animals belonged to the nobles. As late as 1815 in England a commoner caught killing a rabbit could be hung on the spot without a trial. Those animals belonged to the nobles and the king. So we have these most powerful men eating meat and the other people having to make do with what was left over: and eating what they could find, in great ignorance about what they should eat and what is good nourishment, and having no real knowledge of this.

It was recognized or thought of as hereditary; there was something hereditarily powerful and it was ordained by god and had to be protected by god and everybody respected it. The common people and everybody agreed about this. And the nobility, who were often bastards (so there was a sort of smile spread on this blood), were absolutely astonished at this good fortune and had to protect their position with the sword.
"So there was an assumption of a hereditary thing and it's still absolutely operative. The fact is that there is still a hereditary group; still a hereditary Queen of England; still there. Karl Marx quite clearly recognized this as a cause of what he called class warfare. There was this class of parasites who were genetically wrong; and if there was no where near enough to go around, the workers were the fittest and they would have to be sure to kill off this special breed of trouble-makers. Therefore the Russian Revolution was exactly what you had: the attempt to kill off this special breed."

"how it's very evident to everybody that not only were the poor people illiterate and ill-clothed, and so forth, but they were also quite dumb. They seemed to be dumb. That was one thing that hurt me very much when I was a kid: I was brought up with this class thing, this hereditary supremacy. And I didn't think it was so but I couldn't get over this thing that confronted me: that poor people seemed to be dumb. I worked with them and loved them; but they were dumb. I was trying to help them because they seemed to be so dumb. I think Karl Marx accepted this very much; so he gave you class warfare. These people, while they were the fittest in their dumbness, it didn't bother them to give in to the nobles. They simply had an innate capability with the seed, as they had an innate capability to make babies. So he didn't discount their capability because they were dumb. So here was class warfare: where they were dumb and you had to work out something to save them. You had to have a very powerful party and powerful rules so the dogma of communism was made very powerful. People absolutely had to follow the rules. Never mind about thinking, because they don't think. Every once in a while there was a genius born among these poor people and he does some good thinking; and he codifies what you ought to do to look out for the people. That really was the"

It was very fundamental after the revolution that the leaders of the communist party must be followed automatically because you're going to pull the top down; and your people are dumb and there have to be standards and you stick to those standards. Therefore you wear very baggy and stupid clothes; and that's really an accoutrement to these people because they also are unaesthetic, and coarse. And if you wear coarse clothes and are unaesthetic, you don't put on any nonsense. A great many young people were feeling tremendously simpatico with this ideal-- as I did at Harvard. They'd like to join up with the underdog and therefore they'd wear his clothes. They wanted to be coarse and give up their good standard of living, or whatever it might be.
"Well, it is just in the past 10 years that we've had the first scientific proof that malnutrition during the child's time in the womb-- his gestation period, and during the first four years of life-- causes permanent brain damage.

And the result of it all is that there are very large numbers of people who are properly nourished today and the brightness is very general. So you see a whole lot of kids who are very intelligent and who are very simpatico; and not feeling smart or better-- they hate the idea of class. They think it's all wrong; and they're really going into low standards because they think it's unfair to do anything else. So you still have the idea of lowering standards.
"I'm saying that the real changes come about by increasing the standards. What I'm really confident of here is that now I know that it really is feasible to take care of everybody and that makes the whole socialist dogma invalid. Obviously, there is no such thing as class. This is clear as hell. And I find that a very exciting, fundamental difference to realize this. But how many know that? I think very few know that. How quickly can we disseminate that idea?

"There are those who are obsolete or who have been the victims of the specialization of yesterday, victims of all the things that nature had to do. Evolution had to do things her own way, I guess, because man didn't know enough in the beginning. Now he's gotten to the point where he does know better. The amount of information you all have is just magnificent, a fantastic thing. It could nô have been available to you yesterday, but you do have it now.
"Therefore I can still understand yesterday's rampant feeling that the people who are not in gear ought to be done away with-- the idea of pulling the top down in order to have enough to go around. And someone always needs punishing... and others feel they are the deservers. But I don't think any of us know nearly enough to do that. I don't believe anybody should be punished."

My discipline is to reform the environment in ways favorable to the success of all of humanity with confidence that propitious environmental circumstances induce spontaneously pro-social behaviors. The most propitious environmental circumstances would be those which make it universally obvious that there is enough at hand of everything essential to support all humanity for all the foreseeable future. When it becomes commonly known that there is enough to go around, there will be no war. There is so much air for man to breathe that it has always been socialized.

"So long as many are going to die due to poverty, disease, and general inadequacy, while others prosper, there will always be cause for the have-nots to displace the haves. Under conditions of general inadequacy and dying prematurely either by poverty-induced ill health or by weapons, the have-nots have everything to win and nothing to lose in undertaking war.
"I now know by experimental evidence that it is technically and economically feasible to take care of all of humanity without anyone prospering at the expense of others, while only employing the world resources already mined and employing only the knowledge already acquired by humanity, all of which universal prosperity can be accomplished by 1985. For example, humanity does not even think of its buildings in terms of weight, but I have found it possible to reduce the weight of buildings to only one percent of the weight now employed, and I have now over 100,000 domes in half the countries around the world to prove the point."

What are the resources? What are the tasks necessary to make 100 per cent of humanity a success? How can we ever do so without ever advantaging one human at the expense of another? How may we render all the world and all its treasures enjoyably available to all men without having one interfering with or trespassing upon the other? How may we reform the environment so that the integrity of all society is not violated by the free initiatives of the individual nor the integrity of the individual violated by the developing welfare advantage and happiness of the many?
Man is born a potentially complete success. The reason humanity loves its children is that they start off in such perfection of potential.
Man, as designed, is obviously intended to be a success, just as the hydrogen atom is intended to be a success. It is only the fabulous ignorance of man and his long and wrongly conditioned reflexes that has continually allowed the new life to be impaired, albeit lovingly and unwittingly.

". . . The ratio of world copper, mined or unmined, or of iron, mined or unmined, per capita, has been continually decreasing. Therefore the increase in numbers served has not been the result of the addition of more resources, but the consequences of the scientifically designed multiplication of the performance per unit of invested resource.

An angle is cyclic, a fraction of a cycle. A tetrahedron is a tetrahedron independent of size: thus we have conceptuality independent of size and time.
"This is what, then, gave me the clue that I could really look, for instance at a nuclear arrangement independent of size and that there would be data from experimental evidence that would give me a completely different way of looking at everything with experience as the base. And experience is always sensorial and so I can always get a sensorial base or model.
"And then I've gone on to get the best kind of miniature Earth model to show the resources as a function of the regeneration of life-- trying to see it that way... That's how I play my design science game: how do you employ the principles objectively to interexchange advantage so that you really can maintain all life?

"Not only does every action have a reaction, as engineering recognizes, but so too does all priority have equal and opposite antipriority. The great historical antipriority has to be the home front. Science has never been asked to look at the home front. No scientist has ever looked scientifically at the plumbing.
"It was for this reason that I committed myself in 1927 to just such scientific consideration of the home problems and their scientifically arrived solutions and scientific industry production, distribution, and maintenance of the scientific results. I know now exactly what is needed and how to provide environment controls under all relevant conditions on our planet."

"I can state and prove that it is technically feasible to take care of all of humanity at higher standards of living than any have ever experienced and do so by 1985 while employing only proven methods and resources. Not only does this statement include all environment-controlling services for humanity but also the energies required to produce and maintain those life support, protection, travel, and communication accommodating services. Our World Game energy income studies make it perfectly clear that it is feasible to take care of all humanity with that higher standard of living than anybody has ever known, and do so by 1985 while concurrently phasing out all human use of fossil fuels and atomic energy."
"Therefore I know the fundamental vital life support inadequacy which is assumed by all the great political organizations on Earth is invalid and that there is indeed enough life support, protection, and freedom of communications accommodating to go around for all. That humanity has been committed for ages to a false premise is only because humanity had not as yet acquired enough experience to occasion its correction of its premises.

The whole of present socioeconomic direction which seeks to define even more sharply the separate interests of 150 sovereign nations in the United Nations, is a trend exactly oposing what evolution is trying to do. All the world's great corporations have found sovereign nations' geographical confinement to be absolutely untenable; wherefore they have all become supranational operations. So, too, have all the great political ideologies become supranational. Only the people are left locked into 150 national pens. They are locked in by their passports. They are subject to conscription, taxation, and exploitation in an age of omnimobilization. Humans are experiencing exactly the opposite of political freedom.

"Humans have an extraordinary capability which is able to discover so far that there are a billion galaxies of a hundred billion stars each, and to take inventory of the relative abundances of all the chemical elements within a radius of 11-billion-light-years distance of Earth. Only the minds of humans have such capabilities. Human muscle is cosmically negligible, yet human muscle is still as yet in the saddle of world affairs. Therefore, I say, humanity is now entered into its final cosmic examination.

"So I say we are here for problem-solving, for using our minds. But humans are not in the command saddle of human affairs. Mindless, exclusively brain-centered muscle is still in the saddle. Mind is trying to master muscle. That is why you are having such a hearing as this one. I think we have no more than the next 10 years within which to pass our final exam by mounting mind into the command saddle of human affairs. Only mind can accomplish integration of all human affairs-- which integration involves the dissolving of 150 sovereign nations and all their respective me-first-or-else attitudes."

"No sovereignty relinquishment could be more difficult than that of the United States in which the President and all others are elected on the basis of supporting, above all, our national sovereignty. The President's oath of office com its him to looking out for his side above all others. In dictatorships, a dictator can agree with another dictator; that's up to them; or the controlling political party can commit its country to surrendering its sovereignty to others. But it is impossible for a whole democracy to agree unanimously on relinquishing any of its freedoms or its armaments. If any U.S. President said publicly that he advocated termination and renouncement of our sovereignty, he would soon be impeached or precipitate a civil war waged with the opposing political party of the nation.
"So the most difficult conditions for effecting desovereignization and world integration exist in the U.S.A. That is why this could not be a more important occasion for a senatorial foreign policy committee hearing.

We can open one page, but we cannot look at all the words at once. If we cannot look at all the words even on one page, we certainly cannot look at all the words of a whole dictionary at once. It does not make the dictionary infinite because we cannot look at all the words at once or think about all the words at once. The inability to think about everything at once does not mean that experience or consideration of experience is infinite.

"In the event called 'diesel ship-at-sea'
The action of the ship's propeller
Has a thrust pattern
To which the ship reacts by moving forward,
Which also results, secondarily,
In the ship's bow elevated wave
Which wave disturbances of the water
Are separate from the propeller's thrust wave.
Ships appear to be so solid
That they negate human perception
Of their minute longitudinal contraction,
Which occurs initially as a consequence
Of the interaction of the ship's inertia
With the propeller's thrust.
This contraction
And its subsequent expansion
Could be observed in yesterday's
Loosely coupled railway trains,
As they jerkingly accelerated or stopped."

Dimensional Growth:
"Dimensional growth is not occasioned by an increase in exponential powers. It is brought about by increasing subdivision of the constant whole of Universe to isolate a locally considerable increment. For instance, E = Mc² says that the amount of energy involved in the isolated 'mass' as a local event complex of Universe under consideration in this particular instance is to be determined by reference to the constant amount of cosmic energy involved in the constant rate of growth of a spherical, electromagnetic, wave surface, which constant is c². Because the potential energy is in vector equilibrium packages, the centers of energy rebirth are accommodated by the isotropic vector matrix. The constant power is the frequency, 10F² + 2, which accommodates all the exportive-importive, entropic-syntropic, regeneration patterning of Universe.

Dimpling:
"Any and all of the icosahedron's vertexes pulsate individually and independently from the convex to concave state only in the form of local dimpling, because each only-from-outward-motion restrained vertex- being free to articulate inwardly toward its system center, and having done so--becomes abruptly five-vector restrained by its immediate neighboring vertexial event convergences; and the abrupt halting of its inward travel occurs before it reaches the system center. This means that one vertex cannot pulse inwardly more deeply than a local dimple similar to the popping in of a derby hat."
Dimpling Effect
← Dimpling | Dimpling Effect →
Index Entry
Dimpling Effect:
"When a concentrated load is applied (toward the center) of any vertex of any triangulated system, it tends to cause a dimpling effect. As the frequency or complexity of successive structures increase, the dimpling becomes progressively more localized, and proportionately less force is required to bring it about.
"To illustrate dimpling in various structures, we can visualize the tetrahedron, octahedron, and icosahedron made out of steel rods with rubber joints. Being thin and flexible, they will bend and yield under pressure.
"Tetra: Beginning with the tetrahedron as the minimum system, it clearly will require proportionately greater force to create a 'dent.' In order to dimple, the tetrahedron will have to turn itself completely inside out with no localized effect in evidence. Thus the dimpling forces a complete change in the entire structure. The tetrahedron has the greatest resistance. of any structure to externally applied concentrated load. It is the only system that can turn itself inside out. Other systems can have very large dimples, but they are still local. Even a hemispherical dimple is still a dimple and still local."

Dimpling Effect:
"Octa: If we apply pressure to any one of the six vertexes of the octahedron, we will find that one half will fit into the other half of the octahedron, each being the shape of a square-based Egyptian pyramid. It will nest inside like a football being deflated, with one half nested in the other. Although the octahedron dimples locally, it reduces its volume considerably in doing so, implying that it still has a good resistance to concentrated load.
"Icosa: "When we press on the vertex of an icosahedron, five legs out of the 30 yield in dimpling locally. There remains a major part of the space in the icosahedron that is not pushed in. If we go into higher and higher triangulation--into geodesics--the dimpling becomes more local; there will be a pentagon or hexagon of five or six vectors that will refuse to yield in tension and will pop inwardly in compression, and not necessarily at the point where the pressure is applied."

Beginning with the tetrahedron as the minimum system, as the complexity (frequency) of successive structures increases, the dimpling become progressively more localized. As the dimpling becomes more localized proportionately less force is required to bring it about, i.e., in successively higher frequency systems it takes progressively less and less effort to create a 'dent.' The tetrahedron would have to turn itself completely inside out, and as this constitutes a complete change in the entire structure (with no localized effect in evidence) the tetrahedron clearly has the greatest resistance of any structure to externally applied concentrated load. The octahedron dimples in on itself, and the icosahedron, although dimpling locally, does reduce its volume considerably when doing so, implying that it still has a good resistance to concentrated load. The geodesic spheres exhibit 'very local' dimpling as the frequency increases, suggesting much less resistance to concentrated loads but a very high resistance to distributed loads."

"Now I am going to press for the first time on the tetrahedron's vertex. It turns inside out. The dimple turns it inside out. Now it is the only one that turns inside out. The tetrahedron has two things: it can be asymmetrically altered and it is the only system that can turn itself inside out. The others have to be still positive with a local dimple. It can be a hemispherical dimple, but it is still a dimple.
"The ability to turn inside out in physics is really what is misidentified with something called annihilation. . . . Suddenly in the Universe it has appeared as another thing. When the physicist has annihilation, he doesn't really look for it-- he wants to see the direct connection. This makes it really become temporarily invisible. Now we have something that suddenly becomes visible and so he says, well I just found something that I didn't know existed before. He doesn't find necessarily the connection-- it's just suddenly there is something over here. The point is, it didn't leave the Universe. It wasn't annihilated, it simply was literally inside out.

"I am going to press on the vertex, any one vertex of an octahedron-- it has six vertexes. And its legs being of steel are springy and will yield and the rubber joints will permit it, so it dimples. So if I dimple the octahedron, one-half the octahedron. If you look at the octahedron with a point we might call elevated, and a point lower, then we have four points around its equator. So I press in on this top one, the North Pole, and it now turns in, dimples in, and one-half of the octahedron fits into the other half of the octahedron, each being the shape of an Egyptian pyramid, a square-based pyramid.

So I find the larger the undertaking to accommodate the specialization, the lower level of mental capability comes to bear. I don't have anything against anybody I assure you. We don't have good and bad people. We don't really have brights and dulls, because I think everybody is really born with extraordinary capabilities but we get them shut off. The valves get closed off by the older peoples' fear that the children are going to get into trouble doing this or that. ... Here then is the pattern of specialization really not working; and how it happens that as we get into the larger responsibilities, really the lower the order of capability being brought to bear. And when we get to international affairs you can see where we are. We could really just not have any lower kind of capability.

Index Entry
"Eventual and probably imminent world-around disarmament will release the vast weapons industries to production of air-deliverable dwelling machines. This disarmament will occur as the major world enterprise corporations who have become supranational, find that they do not need armaments to protect their know-how selling and the latter's service industries; and the Russian leaders, long exasperated by the USA-paced armaments race, and now attaining military supremacy over the US, and realizing that further delay in world disarmament could easily permit the integration and acceleration of an Arab armaments-buying program that might well challenge Russia's supremacy, ergo, Russia will hasten to impose disarmament in order also to fulfill their long-overdue promise to their people to turn the industrial advantage to the improvement of their citizens' living standards and in direct support of communism's long-pronounced claims of inherent overall superiority as a social economic system."

Discovery:
"True, men have been endowed with very extraordinary faculties. The Universe is endowed with very extraordinary principles. The principles are discoverable. When man fulfills his extraordinary abilities and does discover, or really un-cover the mysteries of the ordered Universes, some very strong interactions become available to society. Humanity is constantly being surprised by these interactions. But, as for the discovery, it was always there, waiting to be uncovered."

Discovery
Index Entry
In respect to the words 'Science: A creative Discipline,' I am convinced that the word 'creation' belongs to God and nobody else. We are all endowed with extraordinary faculties. The universe is endowed with extraordinary generalized principles. The principles are progressively discoverable only by man's faculties. Man may interrelate them to produce unique results. The individual at times fulfills high potentials with which he is endowed. When he does seem to be creative, however, the men who are spoken of as creative always refer to what they have done as discovery. They do not claim creativity. Through exploration and experiment they acquire sublime conviction of the a priori eternality of the verities. I cannot accredit 'disciplined creativity.'
Discovery
Index Entry
Discovery:
"I have to recognize something much bigger than my capabilities in creativity. The orderliness of the universe and all the potential N² - N relationships are by experience a priori to man's exploration and discovery of them. Often two remote persons discover their existence independently."

Index Entry
Discovery:
"Thanks for the data-- I may be wrong about my checking-- check me back! I'm intuitively confident that some such rationality does exist and have a lot of calculations tucked away myself. So let us pay attention to experience which shows us that even though we may have made errors and were not entitled to entry into a big discovery by virtue of our erroneous sortie that it is often a fact that the next-- or the next sortie after that-- in the same area will come up with proof that we have been intuitively right all the time."

Discovery:
"I have always been confident as I explored synergetics looking for nature's own coordinate system, that inasmuch as I was not inventing a coordinate system, but was trying to find one that nature had, nature & had this all the time, and it seemed to me very logical that men long before us might really have discovered some of nature's coordinating, might have run into the same kind of phenomena. There it was, and it was not going to change through the ages at all because we are dealing with fundamental principles of Universe that are utterly timeless and independent of size, shape and time. I have often felt a strange curious feeling as I made a discovery that some one had known this before. Going around the world I watched for some kind of manifestation in the design of some object that would tell me that people in that part of the world had at some time known the things that I was discovering. You can see that I have a very definite kind of a pattern of world which I could recognize and I did begin to find some of the pattern in Burma and Thailand and I have been able to trace the relationshipsof these patterns into the world of navigation and building ships."

Discovery of Generalized Principles:
"Discoveries are regenerative stimulation of the explorer. They occur whenever he discovers a generalized principle. When his mind discovers a generalized principle permeating whole fields of special-case experiences, the discovery of such a new relationship is not only excitingly new to him as an explorer, but to the best of his knowledge it is heretofore unknown by any others. The stimulation is not that of the discoverer of a diamond-- a physical entity which may be monopolized or exploited to the individual's advantage-- rather it is an elation over the realization that the newly discovered principle will increase the understandings of humanity and provide spontaneous logic for cooperation where confusion adn controversy had hitherto prevailed."

"I would say that there is going to be a general discovery of the general orderliness and the significance of the general orderliness which is a complex of abstract principles. It is a concept of intellectual conceptions. Everyone of them are intellectual conceptions. They are what the scientist calls elegant as he begins to discover it. As any one of these principles are discovered, the men discovering it are moved I am sure as no other human beings are moved. There is a very extraordinary sensation as you discover that Universe is operating on this principle and it has been there all the time. It is much more than discovering a brook when you are a child, and that is pretty exciting when you are a child to discover a brook, or to see the dew on the grass for the first time, but it is much more still when a scientist discovers an operating principle of Universe. They are complex and of very enormous intellectual conceptions. What we are discovering also is that these principles are anticipatory. There is nothing we can do which nature is not ready for us."

"When we missed the moon in our first attempt to shoot a rocket to it, the tetrahedral tuck in Universe may have represented that discrete error. It was directly related to our lack of awareness of the disparity of the calculus. This disparity is corollary to the same mathematical disparity that was physically discovered in atomic behavior, which brought its discoverers' the 1957 Nobel prize and which discovery physics' long-held law of conservation of parity which held the obverse and reverse to be identical, ergo, redundant. A further corollary to the tetrahedral disparity of systems invalidates the functioning significance of the transcendental irrational constant Pi."

In the palace at Knossos "over in the area where the goods are stored, where the women were, this was called the distaff sign. The distaff sign you will find on the walls is always a ninety-degree cross. You have a ninety degree and a forty-five; it begins to look like the British flag: the cross of St. Andrew and the cross of St. George. And this is called distaff."

"By getting out from under the world of specialisation, which I feel was very clearly imposed on man due to the fact that every child manifests spontaneous interest in totality, and wants to be comprehensive.. despite our scientific information in biology that all the biological species that have become extinct have become extinct as a consequence of overspecialization. Because specialization, biologically, means you can inbreed; but you inbreed at the cost of general adaptability. And with the general adaptability loss you can get along for a while, but it happens that the energy investment of nature on a wave quantum basis, that we have large waves with very large amounts of energy investments, but at low frequency, and very small amounts of energy, but at high frequency. So the big energy events, such as an earthquake, for instance, do not take place with a frequency of waves or ripples in the water... or mosquitoes. So in developing special capability you may get on very nicely for a period, but then suddenly along comes one of the big ones, with the result that, having lost the general adaptability: out goes the species!

"How did it happen that he became a specialist?
"It becomes perfectly clear that in the early phases of man discovering himself, to be sure that he would regenerate himself, he's given the instinct to be hungry. If he says to breed, these are all built into him, so that there will be children.. keep on regenerating himself, so that he has a functioning, and in doing that, he discovers quite early that the biggest guy can knock down the little guy. And that there's only enough for one to eat. And maybe the big man isn't too selfish, but he's got these kids over here and they're going to have to eat.. To look out for My People. So the Big I'an began to answer who was going to eat. And it's still that way. That's still the basis of our power structure. We think about the simple matter of a big man, like a big stallion in a herd of wild horses. There's a big young stallion born. He didn't have to be, but he's bigger than any of the others. And there's an older, great big stallion, and he immediately challenges this young big stallion to battle, and the one that wins then disseminates the herd. And that's the way that nature arranged to keep the most powerful of the breed going."

But the big young man learns instinctively: I can beat these other people, but don't let two of them come at me at once. Now this is what we call Divide and Conquer. Nothing could be more obvious. And so the big powerful man wanted some of these big men around to fight with him; so he said, I'll make you the Duke of this, and I'll make you the Duke of that. Now you Dukes stay good and far apart, and I'm going to watch to make sure that you really do stay good and far apart.

"And that's what hunting was. So they all gang up on the animal and were able to kill him and then they had a great feast. They said, 'There is just enough for us big guys here. You other people eat roots.'
"This is history and you will find that the king and all the great nobles were always hunting and fighting. They claimed all the animals belonged to the king and the nobles. Other people were not allowed to touch them. Even up to 1810 in England, we find a man could still be hung without trial for killing a rabbit because it belonged to the king. This is true up until very recently. The animals belong to the strong.

There are metaphysical yet cogent early words emergent from the limbo of prehistory's quasi-logical accounting continuities which show that intellect has long been aware of the DEfunction. For instance DI-vine, DI-, DE, of(Di-chotomy -- cell division-- regenerate through bi-multiplication). The concept of a Devining Dkity, i.e., the defining deity, the great intellectual capability of differentiating discernment, probably originated in the same conceptual logic as did DIvide out of DIvision-- to see the whole as functionally differentiable yet only locally and progressively conceptual. In the differential calculus this becomes the delta-- ΔD-- of fundamental differentiation...

"DNA-RNA genetics programing is precessionally helical with only a net axial linear resultant. The atoms and molecules are always polarized and their total inter-precessional effects often produce overall linear resultants such as the stem of a plant. All the genetic drives of all the creatures on our Earth all interact through chemistry which, as with DNA-RNA, is linearly programmable as a code, all of which is characterized by sequence and intervals which altogether are realized at various levels of intercomplexity. On the scale of complexity of ecology, for instance, we observe spherically orbiting relay systems of local discontinuities as one takes the pattern of regenerativity from the other to produce an omni-embracing, symmetrically interfunktioning, synergietic order. The basic nuclear symmetries and intertransforma-bilities of synergetics omni-accommodates the omnidirectional, omni-frequencied, precessional integrity."

Whatever goes on in there apparently controls all the design of nature and all the life formulations. It is the area where the chemistry could be called crystallography, it could be called metals or it could be called animate. It is the complete threshold of the two. Because it is the threshold, people who like to be prosaic and like to make man feel so small can say everything is just going to turn out to be inanimate chemistry and you are all the consequence of probabilities and you might as well jump in the river. 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 these four letters and all the designs occur."

It is further relevant to these considerations that the DNA-RNA code consists always and only of the four chemical compounds: guanidine, cytosine, adenine, and thiamine; and that the helix which they generate consists entirely of tetrahedra whose four constituents in all vast variety of combinations will always be the same tetrahelixes."

"In short, structurally stabilized (and otherwise unstable) cubes are always and only the most simply compact aggregation of one symmetrical and four asymmetrical tetrahedra. Likewise considered, a dodecahedron may not be a cognizable entity-integrity, or may be rememberable or recognizable as a regenerative entity, unless it is omnistabilized by omnitriangulation of its systematic subdivision of all Universe into either and both insideness and outsideness, with a small remainder of Universe to be discretely invested into the system-entity's structural integrity. No energy action in Universe would bring about a blackboard-suggested pentagonal necklace, let alone 12 pentagons collected edge to edge to superficially outline a dodecahedron. The dodecahedron is a demonstrable entity only when its 12 pentagonal faces are subdivided into five triangles, each of which is formed by introducing into each pentagon five struts radiating unitedly from the pentagons' centers into their five corner vertexes, of which vertexes the dodecahedron has 20 in all, to whose number when structurally stabilized must be added the 12 new pentagonal corner vertexes. This gives the minimally, nonredundantly structural dodecahedron 32 vertexes, 60 faces, and 90 strut lines. In the same way a structural cube has 12 triangular vertexes, 8 faces, and 18 linear struts,"

Dog Pulling on a Belt:
"Now we can take off our belt and dangle it in front of a little dog and the little dog will seize the belt in his mouth and will start pulling and you play a game with him. He plays beautifully. He'll play tension and compression with you. And his teeth with convex and concave surfaces get into play, his action and his reaction are going on without his knowing it. And his protons and his neutrons are all coordinating without his knowing it. There's nothing in our experience with the little dog that suggests he would ever develop the theory of functions. What we are able to say is that brain is always and only dealing with special case experiences."

Doing what Needs to be Done:
"I felt then... that it could be that instead of trying to think about: How do I earn a living?... how do I survive? ...that we ought to be looking around saying, 'what is it that my experience teaches me that needs to be attended to, which, if properly attended to, could bring advantage to all humanity, and which, if not attended to properly, could find humanity at a great disadvantage?'
"If you have had anything in your experience say that to you insistently, you ought to do something about it... and pay no attention to the earning of a living. But people would say: How are you possibly going to earn a living? And I would say that it seems to me also then that the little individual, using his own mind and doing his own thinking can observe that the honey bee cross-pollenizes the flowers and other vegetation inadvertently bumbling with his tail knocking off the pollen... that the flowers don't pay the bumble bee and the bumble bee doesn't refuse to pollinize for not being paid! In fact, I couldn't see any money being exchanged by all the great ecological interactions."

Q. How is it that so little can be done to reverse many of the major problems of the day? Housing or the cities, for example.
A. "Well, everything that goes on is done either by government or money making businesses. Both the money-makers and the politicos have to show something for a profit, either the political profit or the money profit in a short run of a couple of years or they lose their jobs. So all the things that need to be done don't get done. Politicians are merchants of woe, they get elected to do something about all the things that are bothering people and so the more woe they have the more issues. So they take up housing as an issue rather than as a problem."
Q. The situation is not being met with problem-solving techniques?
A. "The building arts are 5,000 years behind the engineering and technology of the aerospace sciences. If you go to the island of Crete you will find water still running through the plumbing and we have the same system 3,400 years later. No improvements have been made with the exception of a few"

Q. But couldn't the government do something on this, in the face of the energy situation and all?
A. "No congressman knows anything about it. I think someone new is just going to have to go out and invent the apparatus and go ahead and do it. None of the people in the horse and buggy industry could ever possibly have invented the automobile."
Q. But why is there not more action?
A. "It remains so because of society's world-around conviction that there's not nearly enough life support for everyone, therefore it has to be for you and me. Therefore we have politics and ideologies which say, 'You might not like my system but I have the fairest, most logical way of dealing with fundamental inadequacies.' Politically, we have the last resort thinking of the survival of the fittest. And the last"

"recourse of that is that we have to have guns so that the fittest will survive. We have the major nations of the Earth spending on an average a total of $200 billion a year on weapons and means of destruction. Under those conditions we also have the working assumption that because there's not enough for everyone therefore it's never said, 'What can we do to make life successful for people through technology just as we can make war more successful through technology.' There's a priority for access to the best resources, the best tools, the best people, the best brains. The antipriority has always been the home front, it had to make do with the materials that nobody else wanted for a battleship or an airplane or everything else."

Human beings' faulty number sense is being further confused by meaningless money magnitudes-- for instance, the combined war budgets of the United States, NATO, China, and Russia, which annually average about $200 billion. People talk about these cost magnitudes without any sensorial identity of relative significances. Dollar bills are approximately seven inches long by three inches wide. If we stack them and glue their edges together as with a pad of paper, we get approximately $200 in each one inch of stacking. If we keep adding to the pile it forms a column whose cross section is approximately three inches by seven inches. As we keep on adding to it, it gets too high to be stable, so we rotate it from the vertical to horizontal. It will begin to look like a beam: a seven-inch-by-three-inch beam. The lumber business has beam framings called four-by-eights. Finished by planing, this prime lumber size dresses out at three inches by seven inches, but it is still called four-by-eight, So our structural four-by-eight of laminated dollar bills, when extended to ten feet in length has the shape of a beam, such as you may see in

We keep adding more bills to both ends of this four-by-eight until it consists of 200 billion one-dollar bills. Such a four-by-eight of 200 billion one-dollar bills will circle right around the Earth at approximately 40 degrees north latitude running due east and west through New York, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Kansas City, San Francisco, Tokyo, Peking, Istanbul, Madrid, the Azores, and back to New York.
"That we are spending $200 billion annually to get ready to destroy one another gives you an idea of how 'magnitude ignorant' and 'sense-disconnected' humanity is when it says 'we cannot afford to take proper care of the majority of the world people,' while plowing food back to raise prices to make money, and simultaneously raising tariffs to discourage production by other peoples around the Earth.

The nearest thing you can get to a sphere in relation to a point, and which would fill all space, is the rhombid dodecahedron.
A bubble is only a spherical bubble by itself. The minute you get two bubbles together, they develop a plane between them.

Domains of Polyhedra:
"In a polyhedral system, critical-proximity-interference domains are defined by interconnecting the adjacent centers of area of all the separate superficial faces, i.e, 'external areas' or 'openings,' surrounding the vertex, or 'crossing.' The surface domain of a surface vertex is a complex of its surrounding triangles: a hexagon, pentagon, or other triangulated polygon."

Index Entry
The unique insideness domain of a prime system is, in turn, a prime volumetric domain, which is always conceptually defined by the system's topological vertex-interconnecting lines and the areas finitely enclosed by those lines (V + F = L + 2.) Prime volumetric domain provides space definition independent of size.
Prime volumetric domain and prime areal domain together provide space conceptuality independent of size, just as the tetrahedron provides prime structural system conceptuality independent of size.
Complex bubble aggregates are partitioned into prime volumetric domains by interiorly subdividing prime areal domains as flat drawn membranes.
A prime volumetric domain has no volumetric nucleus. A prime areal domain has no planar nucleus. So we have prime system volumetric domains and prime system areal domains and linear interconnections of all vertexes-- all with complete topological conceptual interpatternning integrity utterly independent of size.

Following general news publication of the latter... over 37, 000 orders for the house were received by mail, many with checks, all of which had to be returned because there was as yet no industry two manufacture and install these air-deliverable dwelling machines.
"Many distributors applied for sales franchises, but the electricians and plumbers who are everywhere exclusively licensed to connect houses to the water and electricity mains, said that in order to survive they would have to take apart all the Dymaxion Houses' pressembled plumbing and electricity manifolds, which work would triple the cost of the mass-produced units and would be as illogical as would local electricians and plumbers being able to impose their taking each purchased automobile apart in the owner's front yard and reassembling it before finally permitting its use by the owner."

"I found that the electricians and plumbers were willing to bring their services to metered, outdoor, concrete box receptacles as already used to implement and power vegetable farming sprayers. Over these service terminal installations the domes could be subsequently installed. Into these electricity-and-water-supplied domes, platform mounted and factory interconnected assemblies of livingry equipment could be rolled with no objections from organized labor.

"Getting to the Moon without losing a single human being-- there's never been anything like that. And all by really getting first things first with really the highest intelligence operating from the beginning. Never a compromise about money.
"Let's get to how people get killed in tornadoes. We are making houses square because the Earth seems to be flat. When we're making houses square and cubical, it's easy then to take a log that is straight and just lay it down that way... All these squares and cubicals are the criteria. When we have a tornado the atmosphere drops incredibly down. This means that the atmosphere trapped inside is much higher due to the vacuum on the outside; so much so that it explodes the buildings. What happens is that the walls are literally thrown into the sky; it really acts as though something has hit it like an explosion.
"So I find that all you have to do is to have the right shape, which is spherical, such as my Wichita House which had a safety valve on the boiler so the pressure can blow off. I had an 18-foot-diameter ventilator in the top-- the whole thing lifted like a safety valve and came right back on."

Once you use geodesic lines you have the shape that it most wants to be in: just like a bell buoy it floats and an earthquake can't bother it.
(These things Forrester didn't know.)
"I'll give you 300 buildings for one with omnitriangulated spheres as against all the other engineering strategies. Not only in terms of material but the other costs would come down the same. The time comes way down. I can deliver it by air instead of having people put things up in rain and snow and dust."

"I do not talk about innovations until I have reduced them to practice and am certain that the principles involved are eternal and reliable. If I have proved a structural principle to be safe and effectively realizable, I can consider larger and as-yet unrealized ones because I also have experimentally proven my comprehension of the principles governing structural magnitudes. For instance, I know that the bigger geodesic domes become, the more efficient they are.
"There are several principles that integrate synergetically to produce the increasing efficiency with size-growth. When we double the size of a geometric object symmetrically, a cube for instance, we increase the edge measurement from one to two, this means that the surface area increases as two to the second power, which equals eight. This means that every time we double the size of a geodesic dome, the volume of atmosphere inside increases by eight, while the surface increases by only four. This means that with each size doubling we have eight times the number of molecules inside but only four time the amount of enclosing surface or roof and side walls through which any given molecules of air, inside or outside, can gain or lose heat."

"This is why an iceberg melts so slowly. Its surface is so negligible in relation to its enormous volumetric mass and it can melt only as fast as it can get heat inside the iceberg, through its surface from the outside Universe, to do the interior melting. But as the iceberg melts its volume gets smaller at a velocity of the second power. Therefore as it gets ever smaller by melting, it melts faster and faster, You can see the little ice cube accelerating its rate of size diminution and finally disappearing-- zip!
"While there are other chemical phenomena involved, this surface-volume ratio also explains why it is that the Sun, being of such extraordinary size that, despite its giving off radiation at a fantastic rate, its volumetric mass is so great and its surface, through which it loses its heat, is so negligible, that it, the Sun, has already lasted ten billions of years and will go on lasting for hundreds of millions of years more.
"This is, then, one of the generalized principles of Universe entering into my statement that the bigger the geodesic dome the more efficiently it conserves energy. This principle.

All the aircraft plants had incredible vertical bins of different kinds of alloys of different metals, of different sizes, all extruded of different sections. Just forests of them and designers then designed in terms of what was in the book. Really more than 50 percent of the metals shipped to the aircraft companies went into scrap. They cut out the heart of the sheet; they said it was weak along the edges.
"This is the theory of Donald Douglas. I met him right after World War II and he was thinking about going into producing my Wichita house. Just as he had said of the DC-3: 'I'm never again going to have a design engineer design anything if he hasn't also been a production engineer because the production engineer had to understand how to design airplanes.

The program at Cape Kennedy--one of the worst problems they had there for months and months was very conscientious scientists and engineers saying, 'I'm not going to leave this; I'm going to do this myself.' They were so excited about it, the risk to the human beings out there. And they found those men could not do it as well as the instruments. So what they should do is to make the instruments themselves approximately infallible-- and have a number of standbys to check those instruments. They finally got to make the instruments so well that they were able to control the process all the way through."

There is a phenomenon known as the Doppler effect, of which humans took much note in the early days of the locomotive. The high tone of the locomotive's whistle as it approached changed to an increasingly low pitch as the locomotive went by. This is because the sound waves of the air coming toward us from the approaching locomotive at about 700 miles per hour are crowded together by the locomotive's approaching speed of 60 miles per hour. Similarly, the waves are thinned by the locomotive's speeding away. The Doppler effect may be operating in our history so that the relative frequency and wavelengths of approaching events are compacted, and receding ones thinned. It could be that by travelling mentally backward in history, as far as we have, any information about humans could-- like drawing a bowstring-- impel our thoughts effectively into the future.

"As they last awaken none can prove that they are the same beings that they seemed to think they were before they went to sleep. There may be thousands of ourselves, each awakening to different experiences. None can prove that life is not a dream. To support that provoking thought, it is also to be remembered that the physicists have discovered that every fundamental component of the Universe has its opposite. Negative weights and positive weights altogether cancel each other, and the average weight of all physical phenomena of the Universe is zero-- as is also the weight of thought 'zero.'

"Science, having been employed almost exclusively in weapons development, will find itself progressively unemployed. The weapons-producing companies and the weapons-support industries, having high capabilities but dwindling contracts, are going to struggle ruthlessly to find other profitable enterprises. They will move overnight into the living as opposed to the killing arts. We have already noted their probably move into education. Another probably move is onto the arts and services usually mistakenly spoken of housing.
"All you have to do is have a meeting with advanced industrial technology management to realize their inherent ineptitude in respect to the art and science governing the living service industry. Talk about a 'house' and the industrialists immediately think about stamping out an aluminum or plastic replica of a Cotswold cottage, or they think about stamping out curtain walls or partitions: 'You have to stamp out something.' That is as far as their brains, conditioned by advertisements and traditions, permit them to go in the byways of categoryitis."

Industries of 1904, and their financial backers, directors, and top industrial managements, did not invent the airplane; nor did the university professors or the scientific societies. There is nothing in the present pattern of building that gives a clue to the ramifications of the upcoming world-habitat service industry.
Just as prototype inventions were the keys to the establishment of the aeronautical industry, so will prototype inventions be the key to this vast new industry. Many of the prototype inventions are already on hand. Others are developing in the U.S. and Russian man-in-space programs. What is most needed now is a clear definition of the functions of the world service industry that must be established to accommodate the forthcoming world citizen, requiring, at some times, living facilities in culture centers around the world and, at others, rest in remote places all the way from the tropics to the poles, which permit man to be intimate with nature's every phase without being punished by the intimacy.

The word 'dymaxion' was invented at a time when Chicago was very much caught up in the dilemma of its commercial and artistic rivalry with New York. It was made up by the public relations and advertising people at Marshall Field & Co. Once in a while Marshall Field did some cultural projects: Putting an old Chinese Urn on display, or whatever it might be. Anyway they had arranged to display a model of my first house on a mast and they asked me what the name of it was. I said it doesn't have a name.
Marshall Field had some very talented 'wordsmiths' as consultants-- they were the men who invented the word 'radio'. We had lunch and they asked me the philosophy of the house. After the lunch they compiled the main things they remembered. They took no notes while I was talking; it was mainly an exercise in what they could recall. They tried to remember the most prominent sentence; and then what were the most prominent words; and then what were the most prominent syllables. They kept at this for a week or so. What they were seeking was the most harmonic and graphic ways of bringing the pertinent syllables together. They explained that syllables were the pepper and salt of my speech.

"They said I was a four-syllable man. The name for the house had to have four syllables. They had a list of many words and syllables as sort of a portrait of Fuller. They confronted me with different ones: a pair at a time; I could reject the one I liked least from each of many pairs but the alternate had to survive. (This was at the time I was meeting -- Gurdjieff?-- Koryzbski?-- in Chicago). When the exercise was completed 'dymaxion was the word that survived.
"!Marshall Field copyrighted 'dymaxion' and presented the copyright to me as a present. But, of course, I had been giving a little talk beside that model I guess five or six times a day."

"... The industrial revolution's railroads and trucks were the beginning of the disappearance of the age-long dominance of the water borne traffic. Railroads and trucks represented shiploads 'sailing' over a new Landocean. With man's penetration to the North Pole, discovery of wireless communication and invention of trackless, omnidirectional, heavier-than-air air flights at the beginning of the twentieth century, the swift obsolescence of World One's Waterocean was certified. World War I and World War II and their 22-year interim represent the transitional period from a predominately Waterocean World to an Airocean World. All the pain of this historic transition is inherent in the momentum of ignorance of man in general concerning the inexorableness of the fundamental reorientation of his life's experience. The operational principles of physical Universe persist throughout man's approximately ignorant endurance of the transition. But as man learns more of the persistent verities and integrities of Universe, they discover the fundamental necessity of reorientation of knowledge in respect to those verities. .."

"I first tried to do this in the early 30s by employing the Mercator projection, by using the 90th meridian instead of the equator as the base line. This provided the One-world Island and the one-world ocean, as hoped for. This is the basis for the projection I made in the end pages of NINE CHAINS TO THE MOON, published in 1938-- and as modeled for me by the puppeteer Bil Baird in 1936.
"When Life magazine decided to go with my map, their art editor insisted on orienting it around the north-south polar axis. My friend Ricky Harrison was given the task of producing the cartographic work and he did not understand that I had discovered a new mathematical method of projecting from a sphere to a planar surface. He used a conventional projection which produced a non-uniform boundary scale around the square and triangular components of which the Life Magazine edition of my map consists."

My topological transformation method can use any symmetrical geometry, whether it is tetrahedral, cubical, octahedral, icosahedral, et.al. What you speak about as the cubo-octahedron I speak of as the vector equilibrium, its radial and chordal vectors being of equal magnitude and abundance.... The vector equilibrium has the virtue of having a boundary scale of 60 degrees for each of the pieces, and its spherical excess is slightly less than that of the icosahedron; ergo, the distortion is mildly less than that of the icosahedron (72°-60°-12° spherical excess).

Ricky did so and Professor Fischer published it in Look Magazine in competition with Life Magazine, Look being glad to parry the Life edition.

All three experts stated that my presentation was 'pure invention,' using the term in a derogatory manner. They did so because it did not conform to any of the known methods of projection. My method of projection is based on a three-way grid of great circles which, as the patent shows, does occur with a 60-degree-edge-angle vector equilibrium. The mathematicians said a three-way grid of great circles was unknown, and in fact was impossible. I was able to make graphic demonstration of my three-way grid, finely etched on a 12-inch-diameter copper hemisphere using the great circle edge of a fine tolerance enclosing hemisphere as the great circle scribe guide. The three-way great circle grid sprang from a uniform boundary scale of one-degree increments. Because of my demonstration Life Magazine went ahead with the publishing.

my new universal-hinging projection. I have taken off the
global map onto this new projection in several other ways, for
instance, with the North Pole and again the magnetic North
Pole, and the pole of the ecliptic as centers of triangles
instead of squares. And another takeoff, particularly useful
for navigational purposes, is that in which the vertexes of
squares and triangles coincide at the poles.
"The new projection method is also extremely useful in relating
the astronomical map to the land map of the world. This is
because the spherical angles are all proportionately or
symmetrically reduced when translated to plane geometry and
vice versa; furthermore, every point on my plane geometry
projection is vertically above the universally deployed center
of the earth. All interior points retain their symmetrical
positioning whether graphed in spherical or plane geometry.
Therefore points in the astronomical projections may be made
to occur vertically above points on the earth when they are
actually in zenith, with the triangulation of astronomical
positions usefully related by direct graphical method to the

"The article in LIFE did not describe any of the mathematical properties of my projection method. I am sure that you would be interested to have it pointed out that the triangular sections of my projection method represent those unique spherical triangles whose several vertexes are each coincident with a vertex of another identical triangle of a system of eight triangles, altogether forming a spherical triangular lattice of great circle arcs of 60° completely enclosing the sphere. This spherical triangular lattice (with equilateral spherical quadrangle interstices) represents the surface coincidence with a sphere of a unique system of tetrahedral segments of a sphere, all of whose apexes coincide at the center of the sphere. It happens that these particular equiangular spherical triangles of the infinite number between 180° and 60° are the only spherical triangles whose chords together with their interior vertexial radii form a united system of lines describing uniform, unit size, equilateral 60° triangles whose interior apexes coincide with the center of the sphere.

Thus this system provides uniform and symmetrical chords and radii, any right angle or diagonal subdivision of which on the spherical surface must be the intersection of a plane passing through the center of the sphere and is therefore a great circle. Thus it is possible by employing these unique spherical equiangular triangles and 'squares' (quadrangles) to provide a quadrangular grid of great circles in the square and unique symmetrical triangular grid of great circles in the triangle (great circle phenomena not found in any other symmetrical spherical triangle) both symmetrically and uniformly subdividing the enclosing boundaries that allows of universal plane geometry projection"

That's how I arrived at the icosahedral version of my Dymaxion airocean world map. Its edge is an arc of 60°23' with symmetrical subsidence locally. All the changes are internal rather than outwardly. If you dismiss error outwardly in a circle-- or circumferentially-- you end up with three times as much error as if you dismiss them inwardly. The only way to improve on the isosceles version would be to have the 120 triangles of spherical unity, but that would mean breaking up the continents which I didn't want to do. It took me two years to find the airocean array.

Dymaxion Car:
"The Dymaxion Car was not a car. It was a people mover. It was only my testing of the ground-taxi-ing capability of my omnimedium-transport, wingless-airplane with twin-orientable jet-stilting.
"There are two kinds of birds... the cantilevered wing-spans are the most difficult part of flying. Jets can give an orientable thrust. Airplanes tend to head up into the wind as a result of their streamlining. I knew that the most dangerous tendency of the Dymaxion car was the ground loops brought on by the beautiful fairing of the shape of the body.
"The reason I built an advanced design car rather than an advanced design house was simply because I knew I could draw on the already available inventory of parts from the automotive world. There was nothing like that available for housing.

"The car is still on display in the Chicago museum.... Walter Chrysler tried to market the idea. But banks with large amounts of capital tied up in financing used cars, bucked it. In the 1930s banks figured you had to sell five old cars to finance loans on each new one. The banks argued that if you advanced the technology of a new model too fast, you reduced the value of secondhand cars. The whole banking system would go bust. It wasn't a conspiracy. Walter Chrysler found he had to make very slow advances. He just couldn't do it."

Dymaxion House:
"The 1927 Dymaxion House was my first tensegrity. The hub of the wire bicycle just becomes the mast. And the bicycle wheel itself was a transfer of sea technology.
"The ceiling was translucent reflecting light from the central mast which was perforated to draw heat down over the warm lights. The walls were shutterable membranes; there were no partitions or space dividers to say: You shall not pass. There were just natural barriers, like a kitchen or a tree.
"Light cells replaced door knobs because I found that door knobs were a major contact point for the transfer of disease.
"Opaque walls are difficult to let light through. There are four kinds of privacy: aural, tactile, visual, and olfactory. Occulting-- cutting off the line of vision-- is better than opacity.
"Snelson gave me all the key, he gave me my great appreciation of how so much of tensegrity behaves; there is no thought of his 'stealing' my ideas."

Back in 1929 Vilhjalmur Stefansson arranged for me to have a dinner meeting with an engineer from the Soviet Amtorg office in New York. The Soviet engineer was in this country to arrange for a party of some 50 of his colleagues from Russia to visit the Ford Plant at River Rouge.
The engineers told me that the soviet managers thought very well of my Dymaxion House. He said they were very familiar with it, but they had concluded that it must be kept secret from the Russian people for 50 years. The sacrifices of the people for the Five Year Plans were so great that the people must not know of the house as they would like it intuitively and they would all want it.
At this time there was a world competition for the architectural design of the Palace of the Soviets. Corbusier would have won it but he would have introduced untenable standards for the use of new materials-- as would the Dymaxion House. Ergo, the managers decreed that the Palace of Soviets and all Russian Architecture must be classical in style and be made of wood or stone. They had to use metals for more critical purposes than housing. No information would be allowed to come in and disturb this strategy.

Q. What would a mass-produced Dymaxion house cost, allowing for inflation?
A. "If mass-produced, which means at a minimum of 500 per day, per factory, Dymaxion houses should cost today about $10,000 completely ready to occupy and live with at highest standards with all technical necessities included, needing only food supplies to be added. They would not be sold, but could be air-delivered and rented locally at $100 monthly, with all maintenance guaranteed at no further costs-- as with telephones."

"And while no sphere large enough for a flat surface to occur is imaginable, the projective transformation model seems to indicate that finite minima and finite maxima do exist because flat is a confined triangle phenomenon. The flat occurs at the inflection point between inside-outings and vice versa. As has already been seen, at the sphere's minima size and at its maxima the momentum to flatness goes beyond approximate flatness, as at the minima phase to satisfy the four triangle minima momentum of transformation; thus inherently eliminating the paradox of static equilibrium concept-- of all the Universe subdivided into two parts, that inside of a sphere and that outside of it; the first being finite and the latter infinite, and the continually transforming from inside-out to outside-in, finitely, is consistent with dynamic experience."

"Education has now led us out and into a degree of meager awareness of Universe, somewhat as though we had been given spectators' seats commanding an improved view of the game-f-games called 'Universe.' It is, however, not as though we had been given better seats in the same old static stadium, within which the sports of extension of personal facility are tried, but more as though we had been given seats in a relay of refueled airplanes to command a view of a new kind of ocean race, a continuous around-and-around-the-world race of relay teams of deep sea craft. Both the frame of reference and the observed are in obvious continual motion and persist as individually composite dynamic continuities, though the separate men (invisible but implicit) and planes and boats and their component parts and sub-parts progressively shuttle or drop out and are eventually substituted for by inconsequentially increasing or decreasing numbers.
"The whole dynamic assemblage of race and observer relays are invisible even to an observer at a 30,000-foot altitude, let alone to an observer on Mars, or on another planet of another star who could only observe the motion of Earth relative to Sun, or the Sun relative to galaxy, etc."

"This schematically kinetic tapestry is the advanced concept of relativity--> now,at last, popularly significant, because pivotal to the everywhere severe worldwide reorientation of all men's everyday affairs from a static to an a priori dynamic frame of reference. The reorientation is severe because it is more than an uprooting. Realization of relativity spontaneously evokes a springing, to dive from a then vanishing springboard into an infinite dynamic sea where man must learn to swim tirelessly, naturally, before he sinks, but only because what he used to think was that he ought to 'sink' rather than be attracted by dominant neighbors.
"As man learns to eliminate his preposterous one-, or two- or three-dimensional a priori references to a fixed level planar breadth and its inherent upwardness or downwardness of Universe and substitutes therefor the now reliable sensation of an inwardness and outwardness relative to plural centers, he will come naturally to his new sustaining awareness of the impossibility of his doing aught but sustain his equilibrious and navigable position. If there is no inherent 'down' in Universe, man cannot sink.

"This is not a semantic abstraction. What did man mean when he said, 'Up'? He meant two or more vertical and parallel lines perpendicular to the respective spots of a supposedly common plane whereon supposedly stood-- fixedly in Universe-- both himself and his addressee, with whom he would, avowedly, communicate meaningfully.
"But he is, in fact, employing non-sense. Unless one is standing on the other's shoulders, the direction of 'up' for any two men on the curved face of Earth is always geometrically different. They are respectively nonidentical radii of their commonly predominant energetic center, the Earth ball. It makes no difference what the local curvature of the Earth may be; they each balance, perpendicularly independent, as 'radii' of the perfect sphere.
"By the time one man explains to the other by directional indication what he had meant by 'up' of a moment ago, the direction 'up' as registered in direction to the stars in Universe-- the other energy centers-- has shifted angularly to absurd non-identity.

Dynamic Symmetry:
"When we make the geodesic subdivisions of symmetrically omnitriangulated systems, the three corner angles increase to add up to more than 180 degrees because they are on a sphere. If we deproject them back to the icosahedron, they become symmetrical again, adding to exactly 180 degrees. They are asymmetrical only because they are projected out onto the sphere. We know that each corner of a two-frequency spherical icosahedron has an isosceles triangle with an equilateral triangle in the center. In a four-frequency spherical icosahedron there are also six scalenes: three positive and three negative sets of scalenes, so they balance each other. That is, they are dynamically symmetrical. By themselves, the scalenes are asymmetrical. This is synergy. This is the very essence of our Universe. Everything that you and I can observe or sense is an asymmetrical aspect of only sum-totally and only nonunitarily conceptual, Omnisymmetrical Universe.
"Geodesic sphere triangulation is the high-frequency subdivision of the surface of a sphere beyond the icosahedron. You cannot have omnisymmetrical, equiangle and equiedged, triangular, system subdivisioning in greater degree than that of the icosahedron's 20 similar triangles,"

Dynamic Symmetry:
"As we have learned, there are only three prime structural systems of Universe: tetrahedron, octahedron, and icosahedron. When these are projected on to a sphere, they produce the spherical tetrahedron, the spherical octahedron, and the spherical icosahedron, all of whose corner angles are much larger than their chordal, flat-faceted, polyhedral counterpart corners. In all cases, the corners are isosceles triangles, and, in the even frequencies, the central triangles are equilateral, and are surrounded by further symmetrically balanced sets of positive and negative scalenes. But since the positive and negative scalenes always appear in equal abundance, they always cancel one another out as dynamically complementarily equilateral. This is all due to the fact that they are projections outwardly onto a sphere of the original tetrahedron, octahedron, or icosahedron, which as planar surfaces could be subdivided into high-frequency triangles without losing any of their fundamental similarity and symmetry.
"In other words, the planar symmetrical is projected outwardly on the sphere. The sphere is simply a palpitation of what was the symmetrical vector equilibrium, an oscillatory pulsation,"

Dynamic Symmetry:
"inwardly and outwardly-- an extension onto an asymmetrical surface of what is inherently symmetrical, with the symmetricals going into higher frequency.
"What we are talking about as apparent asymmetry is typical of all life. Nature refuses to stop at the vector-equilibrium phase and always is caught in one of its asymmetric aspects: the positive and negative, inward and outward, or circumferentially askew alterations.
"Asymmetry is a consequence of the phenomenon time and time a consequence of the phenomenon we call afterimage, or 'double-take,' or reconsideration, with inherent lags of recallability rates in respect to various types of special-case experiences. Infrequently used names take longer to recall than do familiar actions. So the very consequence of only 'dawning' and evolving (never instantaneous) awareness is to impose the phenomenon time upon an otherwise timeless, ergo eternal Universe. Awareness itself is in all three asymmetries, and the pulsations are all the consequences of just thought itself: the ability of Universe to consider itself, and to reconsider itself."

"Within every equilateral triangle we can inscribe a three-bladed propeller going into the three corners and those propeller blades could be pear-shaped. Each of the blades is the same shape as the others. The pear shape is asymmetrical. We call this dynamic symmetry. (revolvable omnibalanced asymmetry) We have three pears at 120° from one another... The three perpendicular bisectors of an equilateral triangle cross each other at the triangle's center of gravity, dividing the total triangle into six right triangles, of which three are positive and three are negative. So there are six fundamentals of the triangle which make possible dynamic symmetry. One part may look like a scalene but it doesn't matter because it is always in balance. Each corner is balanced by its positive and negative-- like a street corner. This is called dynamic balance. Literally all machinery is dynamically balanced in this manner."

The difference between what I mean by symmetrical and omnisymmetrical is that in symmetrical I have no local asymmetries which I did have in any one of these propeller blades by itself. . . Let me take one propeller blade by itself. I'm going to split it longitudinally and get an 'S' curve, of which no power of the curve is the same . . . changing rates. So it's asymmetrical by itself: it's repeated six times; positive, negative, positive, negative . . . and it comes around to dynamic symmetry. So the energy forces involved are in beautiful absolute balance. So we get energetic balance. This is asymmetry. And that's a vector equilibrium in the middle of all this. Not only is the propeller revolving on one axis only, but we have six axes with everyting revolving in the vector equilibrium.
