Fail-Safe:
"The people getting together in Bali in July were able to demonstrate that there is another way of carrying on--neither the capitalist way nor the communist way--where everyone is in on the information.
"That's why all the great corporate executives should have their fail-safe projects where all the information comes in and they don't have to wait for correction of their erroneous atomic energy programs to be frustrated by society or accidents--that's too slow a way to get improvement.
"Getting everyone in on the information--as in Bali--is what the design science and fail-safe strategies are all about."

"Only the whole big system works. Like all well designed, complexly intercomplementary, evolutionary systems, the self-regenerating terrestrial ecology has a plurality of alternate circuits, i.e., of fail-safe mechanisms with a plurality of newly developing alternates and an equal number of progressively phasing-out components. Of all the biologicals, only humans are able consciously to discover this omni-regenerative pattern in pure principle."

False Property Illusion:
"Inevitably, the phantom captain's habitual association of his infinite self with his subconsciously subservient mechanisms has inclined him to a dual presumption: (1) that this mechanism is an actual (by extension) part of his phantom self, whereas it is purely an electrochemical combination of inanimate energy molecules that are intrinsically the ship the phantom captain commands, and (2) an attitude of ownership: the mechanism of ordination for his will is 'his' permanent 'possession,' whereas in reality it is only temporarily in his custody. This illusion of 'possession' of the mechanism has been further extended, through accustomed relationship, to include 'possession' of one's clothes, pencils, house in general, land, friends, wife, and children, business, state, nation, world, and finally 'god' -- the last named quite naturally being 'pictured' in the exclusively original form of his 'own' egotistically important, special mechanistic and chemical process arrangement.
"As the 'possessor' of all has extensions, the phantom captain automatically evolves a myriad of illusory necessities for which he assumes a vain egotistical responsibility. This false-possession and always innocuous myth (which is consumptive of"

Society is full of this horrible thing, fear. And when society is fearful, it gets panicky and does stupid things. So don't do things just to defy or make people fearful. Do things to give them confidence. Don't do things which invite opposition. Do things which invite support. Try to think clearly, and you will find answers for your problems. Very shortly, society will be in enough trouble to want them.

Fear
Index Entry
Fear:
"Fear is not innate. The fear reaction of the new born infant is brought about only by extraordinary noise or falling. If falling does not occur early, fear does not develop as dominant. It is fostered, however, by the exquisite stupidity and cruelty of singing 'Rockabye, baby--baby will fall, cradle and all,' and for the child who has experienced falling this is by way of being an ultimate lullaby into lunacy....
"Fear is instilled through the repetition of traditionally honored falsehoods, or by the invention of a lie, a moral, a code, or statute to suit the circumstance."

Fear and Longing
Index Entry
Fear and Longing:
"I think every human being is born an artist, scientist, inventor, or explorer, but his innate capabilities do get so frustrated, discouraged and paralyzed. Einstein found two fundamental forces operative in human beings. These are fear and longing. Fear is almost always present. Unfamiliarity may be compounded with the built-in drives of hunger, thirst and procreative urges together with an urge to understand and be understood. Those are very, very powerful. And when the circumstances seem so chaotic there is fear-- a congealing fear. Fear has been very powerful in humanity. but I find that there are times when one gets out from under it and cheers up again and longing begins to carry on. I began to try to weigh the fear versus longing of humanity and I began to feel that longing was more powerful and would win in the end."

Fear and Longing
← Fear and Longing | Fear & Longing →
Index Entry
Assuming Einstein's postulate of fear and longing as the prime motivators to be correct, let us analyze the implication further, and utilize fear and longing as yardsticks in a general tracery of the history of creative design and the latter's effect on economics and social movements.
While neither fear nor longing is experienced in pure form, nevertheless one or the other is always dominant for every specific moment. A person may be at one instant 90 percent dominated by longing and 10 percent by fear, at the next vice versa, and tomorrow 50-50. When, however, the person's life span has terminated, he may be analyzed sumtotally as having demonstrated for instance a 60 percent fear motivation and 40 percent longing. So, in terms of indicated sumtotal of a personality, one may say that a person is dominantly to date a fear or a longing type. The genius and the talented person are specific members of the longing dominated group, although manifesting greatly diversified performance characteristics.

"A prime distinction between humans and computers as intelligence machines is that the computers can easily excel as specialists, whereas the unique characteristic of the human intellect which may never be approached is that of the Universe-long complexity of feedback comprehensivity which could only be matched by a complex computer which had been building up its regeneratively introduced variable strands braiding for a period of several billion Earth years.

Feedback:
"Norbert Wiener next invented the word 'feedback' to identify discovery of biased error and its spontaneously-coped-with over-correction. Governed by minimum-angular-error-maintaining devices, such as gyroscopes governed by delicate hydro or electrically actuated servomechanism connected to the powerful rudder-steering mechanisms, these devices greatly reduce the magnitude of rightward and leftward steering errors. In gyroscopes governed by servomechanisms, steering is accomplished only by minimizing angular variance errors, and not by eliminating them or pretending they do not exist. Gyro-steering produces a net wavelinear course, but always with errors of much higher frequency and much shorter wavelength than those made by the human handling of the rudder and the latter's inevitable veerings left and right.
"All designing of Universe is accomplished only through angle and frequency modulation. The DNA-RNA codes found within the protein shells of the viruses governing the designing of all the species of all biological organisms in Universe consist only of angle-and-frequency-modulated instructions."

"As the irreversible succession of self-regenerative human events--experiences, intuitions, experiments, discoveries and productions--Successively increases both the comprehensions and capability options
The commonwealth of intercommunicated comprehensions
Produces and ever-evolving, subconsciously changing common sense, where syntropy is gaining over entropy, life prevails;
Where entropy is gaining over syntropy, death prevails.
Their exponentially regenerative birth-death interplay
Is describable in information theory
As 'self-accelerating feedback,'
And in nuclear physics it is manifest as 'chain reaction'
And in an even more comprehensive way
It is manifest pulsatingly, resonantly and propagatively,
As the irreversible regeneration of universal evolution."

Fellowships: Life Fellowships in Research and Production:
"To take advantage of the fabulous magnitudes of real wealth waiting to be employed intelligently by humans and unblock automation's postponement by organized labor we must give each human who is or become unemployed a life fellowship in research and development or in just simple thinking. Man must be able to dare to think truthfully without fear of losing his franchise to live. The use of mind fellowships will permit humans comprehensively to expand and accelerate scientific exploration and experimental prototype development. For every 100,000 employed in research and development, or just plain thinking, one probably will make a breakthrough that will more than pay for the other 99,999 fellowships. Thus, production will no longer be impeded by humans trying to do what machines can do better."

"The new life comes from the woman. The egg is in the woman, so woman has physical continuity. Man is discontinuous. This has great compatibility with the Universe. Women are innately in tension, and men are in compression. The father tends to specialization. The mother tends to be much more comprehensive than man. Early man was the roving hunter or the fisherman. Woman, staying near the hearth and cave, has been the consolidator of the gains. When man brought in a strange animal, she decided whether to skin it, milk it, or ride it. She is the differentiator. She put the children and prisoners and old to work, pounding, weaving, and so on. She invented industrialization."

Field
Index Entry
Field:
"Einstein was up against trying to communicate with the mathematicians in terms of mathematical models all of which were-- and still are-- straight line, XYZ models on a linear frame and with linear coordinates going outward from the model to infinity. So 'field' was always a little set of local perpendicular crossings of straight lines each outward bound to an infinity of infinities.
"All the experimentally harvested information says that the 'field' must now be recognized as a complex of never-straight lines which, at their simplest, always will be very great circular orbits. And the orbits are all elliptical due to the fact that unity is plural and at minimum two. There will always be at least one other critical proximity aberration with both of its diametric alterations of orbit."

The Universe is finite, and all its components definable. Each life as we know it is definitive, i.e., consists of a plurality of terminable, ergo definite, experiences, beginning with each awakening and terminating with each surrender to sleep (no man can prove upon awakening that he is the man who he thinks went earlier to sleep, or that aught else which he thinks he recollects is other than a convincing dream). The intermittent beginnings and endings of conscious experience constitute an aggregate of definitive experiences-- and the aggregate is therefore finite.

Fire:
"... I find that even in peacetime when man was homesteading, going out to open up their land. And he came under tenting and very temporary form of shelter until he got to a site where they were going to commit themselves. The thing that really counted was getting the seeds in the ground, something to grow so they could eat next winter. The high priority is seed and growing things. You keep living under wraps as best you can. And on the way there you've been hunting and have a lot of food. But now you're so busy clearing the fields of rocks and getting the seed in the ground, your wife says, 'Darling the meat is beginning to spoil now,' and so we've got to build a fire and at least cauterize it-- it lasts a little longer. This meant then that people in the fields began to build fires; and making fire took an awful ■ long time-- you didn't have time for that you were so busy with the field. So you keep that fire going, and I'm clearing wood out of the fields here; so you've got plenty of wood. Just keep burning that wood. Well, that ■ makes smoke in the sky and that gathered often hostile strangers here. It brought animals at night. So the built kind of a chimney around it so it was easier to keep that fire going. It got a lot of rock out of the fields; there was a lot of rock around and they used that to make a temporary chimney.

Fire:
"And then you began to make a stockade around so that the wild animals couldn't get at you, naturally, or strangers. So you got a stockade and you got a chimney in the middle. Then when you first had a little time you took some more trees around, and ran some logs from the stockade to the chimney. You got a roof on this. The wind is going to be coming now. But the building was always on the antipriority. How do you get nature to keep you going. You don't know why the little thing grows into big things, but it does, and you've just got to take advantage of that fact. You realize that even in the peacetime building was an antipriority-- something you did only in off moments."

RBF: "We always have. Fossil fuels are from the Sun. You put a log in the fireplace and watch it burn. In every minute you burn up a year. It took a year to impound that. You are just unwinding the years."

Fireplace Log:
"When we see a log burning in the fireplace we see how very fast a hundred years unrolls before us-- how fast we are unwinding time. As it burns from one annual ring to the next the stored up sunlight of one hot summer month may flare up in an instant. So the fire in our fireplace has been sent here-- telegraphed by radiation-- from the Sun and stored these many years."

"Four nonsimultaneous rocket bursts with visually overlapping patterns. (See diagram) Their four stars constitute the four vertices of a tetrahedron-- the fundamental quantum of universe's structuring. There is a tetrahedral structural inter-relationship between (1) the day before yesterday, (2) yesterday, (3) today and (4) tomorrow. Though we speak of them as "the four balls in the air"-- maintained there successively by a juggler using five balls to do his trick-- they are not the same balls and the four are never in the same positions; nonetheless there are always, and only, six fundamental inter-relationships between "the four balls in the air," i.e., ab, ac, ad, bc, bd, cd; a,b,c,d, are non-simultaneous events.
Universe structures most frequently consist of the physical interrelationship of non-simultaneous events. Because of the fundamental non-simultaneity of universal structuring, a single, simultaneous, static model of universe is inherently both "nonexistent, conceptually impossible," as well as "unnecessary." cite KEPES

"And the things are the difference between trying to jump overboard and push a fish out of water with a spear versus having a tension cable. A very delicate cable. You play the fish and gradually reel him in. I find women are tensile. Men tend to be compressive. Women know how to reel people in--know how to play them on a tension line."

And then they say the second greatest factor was the second intuition about 45 seconds later: about what to do about the discovery you have just made. . . before the fish gets off the line. You don't really catch it in this society until you start realizing how important it really is. And you can't light a cigarette, because you've got to go to work.

Flat: Almost Flat:
"The transformational projection model coupled with the spheric experience data prove that a finite minima and a finite maxima do exist because a flat is exclusively unique to the area confined within a triangle's three points. The almost flat occurs at the inflection points between spheric systems' inside-outing and vice versa, as has already been seen at the sphere's minima size-- and that at its maxima the moment of flatness goes beyond approximate flatness as, at the minima phase to satisfy the four triangle minimum 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. The continually transforming from inside-out to outside-in, finitely, is consistent with dynamic experience."

"When a fleet of one-of-a-kind racing sailboats is performing they usually are beautiful to watch unless one is being incompetently sailed.

The winning boat of yesterday's race may be sailed today by an incompetent careless helmsman and appear ugly though it is the same boat which yesterday appeared to be so beautiful. So too will the architecture of the new era be the inadvertent qualities and attitudes manifest directly or indirectly by its occupants. While one of two identically designed dwellings may appear beautiful because of its dweller's competence and consideration for others, the identical dwelling may appear ugly because selfishly and incompetently occupied."

Floating City:
"In due course there would be my floating cities. Strange as it may be, they are impractical to build on Earth due to the gravitational effects and the winds. As a consultant to the advanced structures team at NASA we developed a geodesic sphere two miles in diameter. But this is really a delicate network--ball to ball-- and they would be centrifuged in space, weightlessly; and in that form they are going to be crystallized. They will be locally loaded.
"If you have spheres a mile in diameter then you can fortify them to any extent you want, but when you let it down into the atmosphere, it would be like a ping-pong ball landing in Niagara Falls. Because of its structure we would have it reflecting, so it would reflect its heat out and the structure would weigh so little that it would be lighter than the atmosphere around it. It is simply a cloud-- just the way clouds float in the sky because they dismiss the heat outwardly. But they are a practical thought: Housing in Space."

Foldability of Great Circles:
"Wave phenomena always being cyclic . . . I began to take whole circles. I could take four complete circles and fold them in such a manner as to make bow ties, and they fasten together and make the great circles. Everyone of the 25 and 31-- making a total of 56-- can be made by folding. You simply do your spherical trigonometry, your central angles. . . sometimes a four-part bow tie and sometimes a two-part bow tie. They go together and you can re-establish them, the biw ties together, corner-to-corner, and they make a whole sphere again and you can see the 15 great circles, you can see the 10 great circles, and so forth. . . They turn out to be only great circles. There's no other way I can take a great circle and fold it, because everyone of the fundamental symmetries of both the icosahedron and the vector equilibrium are foldable into great circles where the energy instead of going cyclic around the whole system, can go around in a figure eight, for instance-- or it can go around in 15 great circles. In the 15 great circles you find they again disconnect and they go around very locally on the surface of the icosahedron. When you make up the icosahedron you find them in strange little curlicues and they're very asymmetrical."

Foldability of Great Circles:
"This may be pure accident but I could say something to you now categorically that is really very fascinating, that is, I found that you cold fold and make all the 25 and 31 great circles. There are no other circles though that I know how to fold an make any other kind of great circle patterns on spheres. They and they alone seem to be foldable into these conditions. This seems to be a very strange kind of control because if they did they all relate, they are the ways of the grand central station and all the shortest, most economical railroad tracks between all the points in Universe-- flying either concave or convex."

Foldability of Great Circles: Spherical Vector Equilibrium:
"Here I am taking a great circle and folding it on its 60-degree angle, and we fold down, up,up, and down, up, up, and it comes together and makes this bow tie. You bring these corners together and join those edges. And you take four sets of these and they make the vector equilibrium. So, the fewest great circles can be folded up and made into bow ties and reassociated and then, even though you made them into a local bow tie, it seems to re-establish to all the great circles. You can play the game either by going around this way or by going around in a local figure eight. Either one is legitimate. These are very typical characteristics of fundamental wave phenomena."

What we have now in these vital statistics is a look at what we've got on Earth right now. What we've found in our research is that the materials of the Earth are there; we don't have to create the materials of the Earth. What we have to do is to increase the efficiency with which the materials are used. It just comes home every time that it's the metaphysical that has to be altered; not the physical. The physical is always there. . .
There is enough land, if we work the land in the same way Japan works it, in which they're feed six-and-a-half people per acre; whereas in the United States we feed about one per acre. If we could duplicate that efficiency factor all over the Earth, we actually would feed the people; but the problem is always the electrical power; it's always the necessity of processing the food and getting the food to the people. It's fine to grow it in this area, but if you can't store it, you can't feed the people who are living in the other area. . .

Force Lines: Omnidirectional Lines of Force:
"One of the concepts of plane geometry goes along with something we are told quite early, when getting into physics, and that was that when we get the lines of force, when we get into the parallelogram of forces. We get Galileo's concept of two ships running into each other. One ship: we will take what its weight is-- it is ten tons and it is making ten knots, so we will multiply ten tons times ten knots and it is going east so we have 10 x 10, which is 100. So we have a line 100 units long going east on the pattern on the map on the table here. Then we have another ship going 20 knots and weighing 20 tons so we multiply 20 x 20 and get 400. So we have a line 400 units long, instead of 100, and it is going north. We have these two ships run into each other, and by Galileo's diagram of forces, we have two lines, one going east and one north. And we make two lines parallel to them of equal length. Then we make a diagonal from the point of running into each other to the opposite corner of the parallelogram, and we take that same line and extend it outwardly from the point and we said that that was the resultant of forces. This is a game we played on a plane. One thing that interested me very much when I"

"got into the Naval Academy, particularly when I went to
sea, is that when two ships ran into each other, they didn't
waltz off north-northeast 12 miles together. One of them
usually went into the center of the earth. And that wasn't
in the diagram. So I felt that to give me that kind of
elementary education was not a kindly form of simplification.
It was absurd. I felt there was a place where Universe
just started operating and that was where she always
operated. We were operating omnidimensionally, and we
might as well find out, if we could, what the minimum set
of forces operating were-- and where, and how, and why,
and whatever was interference did what it did."

Force Lines: Omnidirectional Lines of Force:
"I was told in school about Galileo's parallelogram of forces. It was drawn on a plane where you saw one body running at a certain velocity in a given direction. You multiplied its weight times its velocity and that made the length of the line; we called such a force line a vector. Then we had another body which was on collision course with the first moving body, which we had vectored. And you took the second moving body's weight times its velocity and that was the length of the second line or vector. And the second body also was going in a unique and discretely identified compass direction. You had these two moving bodies come together and then you made two other lines parallel to the first set of two vectorial lines and they made a parallelogram with the first two vectors.
Next you made a long diagonal in that parallelogram from the point of collision to its diagonally opposite corner. Then you extended the long diagonal outwardly from the parallelogram from the point of collision, extending this line to a length equal to the diagonal"

already constructed inside the parallelogram and that external equidistant extension of the diagonal of the parallelogram was called the resultant of forces. In the Navy I had also been taught Galileo's parallelogram of forces. . . For some reason that I don't know of it was never considered at the U.S. Naval Academy that when two ships ran into each other, Galileo's force diagram told us that following the collision as indicated by the 'resultant of forces' the two ships were supposed to waltz north-northeast for 12 miles together. I saw as indeed most all sane men see that such behavior was just what the ships didn't display after collision. One of them went in toward the center of the Earth and that wasn't in the diagram. I decided that this criticism was typical of my general suspicion that we were not starting with the right set of axioms or simplest concepts. . .
"So one of the two ships colliding on the wavy surface of spherical Earth goes towards Earth's center. One of them does go a few hundred feet in the direction of Galileo's resultant of forces, but not 12 miles. We find that in reality four forces are operating. Two accelerate conically together, rising from Earth, plus gravity, plus the resultant." '64

"When the ships first ran into each other, they actually rose outwardly from Earth's center because in acceleration both ships were 'trying' to leave the Earth. If they could accelerate faster-- like rockets-- they could leave the Earth. So when two ships collide they usually rise outwardly, against gravity, before they subside, and then one or both go into the bottom of the sea, or go a few yards in the direction of the resultant of forces. The pattern of real force lines looks very much like a music stand-- three vectorial legs spread out with a fourth vertical vector. And so I began to discover and study what we may call fundamental angular degrees of the vectorial interactions of universal freedoms." - Cite UTOPIA OR OBLIVION, Music of the New Life, p.54, 10 Dec '64

Vectors had first been developed to important extent in electrical engineering (though Galileo used them tentatively an erroneously in developing his parallelogram of forces). According to Galileo we could make a vectorial pattern of a ship A of such and such a weight, going in such and such a direction at such and such a velocity. You multiplied the velocity times the weight, and that gave you a vector:X. You then made a vectorial line AC on your diagram that was x units long, that was shown going in the compass direction that the ship was going-- let us say, 'due east.' Ship A collided with another ship B at point C. Ship B weighed such and such an amount. You multiplied ship B's weight by its speed (velocity) and it gave you the length, y, of a vector line BC. BC had a compass direction, too-- let us say, 'northeast,' reading from B to C. Galileo then constructed a parallelogram ACBD with BD parallel to AC, running west from B to D, then DA constructed parallel to BC, running northeast from D to A. Galileo then drew a vectorial line diagonally from D to C, the point of collision of ships A and B, and then Galileo extended the line DC outward of the parallelogram to E with CE = DC, and with the angle DCE = 180°, i.e., a 'straight' line. Galileo called

"CE the 'resultant of forces'-- the vector of the combined forces X, Y. Galileo's 'resultant of forces' was wrong because two colliding ships do not waltz gaily east-northeast 12 miles together. Usually one of the ships goes 'down'-- into the sea-- toward the center of Earth-- which multidirection vector was not in Galileo's 'plane' geometry scheme. Nevertheless I found his vectorial diagram exciting. It suggested a comprehensive geometry consisting entirely of vectors. . . ."

Force Lines: Omnidirectional Lines of Force:
"I spoke about Galileo's parallelogram of forces where, you may remember, you had two moving bodies and you had their discrete angles and you have them running into each other. One weighs so much and has such and such a velocity-- multiplying both and making vectors, you drew two lines parallel to them with respect to where they intervened. Then you made the parallelogram and the diagonal of the parallelogram from the points of interception, extended it outwardly of the parallelogram, and call it equidistant, and call it the resultant of forces. I thought this was very strange because I was in the Navy, while this diagram tells me that when two ships run into each other at sea, they waltzed off 12 miles northwest with each other and that isn't what they did at all. One seemed to go to the bottom and that wasn't in the diagram. So I felt that it was really invalid to make models that really didn't have to do with our physical Universe."

"The general principle of producing higher performance with ever less inputs of energy, time, and weight of material per any given level of accomplished functioning, produced sumtotally a trend toward doing so much with so little that we have now arrived at a condition where performance is approximately invisible.
"Form is no longer following function. Functions have become formless. World humanity's reality of 1900 consisted of everything people could smell, see, touch, and hear. Now, three-quarters of a century later, 99.9 percent of all humanity's practical everyday, worked-with realities are only instrumentally (non-sensorially) apprehendable and employable by humans. The electromagnetic Universe's realities are coped with only instrumentally through macro step-up and micro step-down transformers of information.

Louis Sullivan employed the phrase 'form follows function' and it became seemingly most apt to Europeans developing this kind of simplified building. So form follows function is the phrase that most characterizes our cultural experience in the arts since the mid-tenties. . . More than a generation has been preoccupied at the cultural level with the idea that you do things in a very direct honest right way and that it should be visible how you do it. When you learn how to do that in a becoming manner then form is following function. . .
So the Germans said why can't we take this good logical kind of building. All it needs is a little refining. Give it a little cleanliness and we could give up all the orders of architecture and turn out something very pleasing in its own right. So this began the Bauhaus kind of viewpoint and the development of architecture which is today called the international style.

Form Cannot Follow Function:
"One of the many characteristics of tensile strength is that you can't see it. When we say form follows function and if a form is stronger then we ought to be able to see it. But alloys make it possible to do things with less. Therefore form is not following function at all. In the advanced technology form is not following function. All the form is where you can see it. The functions are invisible. There are not forms following the functions at all. There is a great computer. It is just a black box. What does it do? You don't know what it does. There is no disclosure of the function whatsoever by the really advanced technology.
"In our cultural life we have been preoccupied with being very modern, consoling ourselves, in fact boasting, that form follows function. We are being very frank. We are not putting a lot of orders and decorations on here at all. But we are not being modern at all. We are being just the opposite and fooling ourselves because form cannot follow function. This is what we mean by the trend to invisibility."

Index Entry
One of the most typical tricks I have found in humanity is to see the little small one [triangle] and miss the big one and the big one is the one that counts. Then I told him he drew four triangles. And he said, how did that happen? Well, they are spherical triangles and there is a concave little and a concave big as viewed from inside and a convex little and a convex big as viewed from outside.
Convex and concave are not the same; so there are inherently four. In fact, you will always find that there are four there. Four is the minimum and when we get t o any kind of system there is always four there. You will get used to that fourness and get used to not allowing yourself to become overconfined and looking at the little ones.

Four Color Theorem
Index Entry
Polygonally all spherical surface systems are maximally reducible to omnitriangulation, there being no polygon of lesser edges. And each of the surface triangles of spheres is the outer surface of a tetrahedron where the other three faces are always congruent with the interior faces of the three adjacent tetrahedra. Ergo, you have a four-face system in which it is clear that any four colors could take care of all possible adjacent conditions in such a manner as never to have the same colors occurring between two surface triangles, because each of the three inner surfaces of any tetrahedron integral four-color differentiation must be congruent with the same-colored interior faces of the three and only adjacent tetrahedra; ergo, the fourth color of each surface adjacent tetrahedron; ergo, the fourth color of each surface adjacent triangle must always be the one and only remaining different color of the four-color set system.

Closest packed spheres provide tetrahedra or truncated tetrahedra. Because 4 + 4 + 6 = 14, truncating the four vertexes, plus four faces, plus six edges of the tetrahedron provides the fourteen faces of the vector equilibrium. High frequency agglomerations, asymmetrically truncated, account for all the shapes of all living tissue cell structures, as well as for all the shapes of bubble agglomerations, all of which are 14-faceted chambers.

The cube shown is the minimum cube which may be stably produced by closest packed spheres. Eight spheres will not close pack as a cube and are utterly unstable.

...All life cell structures, no matter how complex the total association may be, and all bubble complexes, are characterized by 14-faceted, webbed chambers, the 14 facets being an infinite variety of asymmetrical polygon sizings, but always of 14 facets. These 14 facets are then to be identified with the tetrahedron's four faces plus six edges plus four vertexes which prime aspects total fourteen. Tetrahedrons of very high frequency composition which result from piling up a triangular pyramid of ping pong balls, or of any spheres of the same size, can be truncated on each of their edges or each of their four vertexes by off balls-- which adds six facets and four facets, respectively, to the four original faces. By simply increasing the frequency of the basic layers of the spheres, the truncation of the edges or vertexes may be so patterned with the faces in such a manner as to result in 'any' polygonal shapes of a total of 14 faces.

14 faces of truncated tetrahedron, which produce seven unique pairs of parallel faces whose axes, perpendicular to their respective centers of area, generate the seven axes of all crystallographic symmetry.

"Various high frequencies of modular subdivisions of the tetrahedron produce a wide variety of asymmetrical truncatabilities of the tetrahedron. The dynamics of symmetry may employ seven sets of the 56 foldable-great-circle variations of planar orientation. Thus it follows that both the biological cell arrays and the bubble arrays display vast varieties of asymmetries in their 14 enclosing planes, so much so that this set of interidentifiability with the 14 topological characteristics of tetrahedron, the prime structural system of Universe, have gone unnoticed until now."

Remember that the eight cubes around one point in space represent the three dimensions of 90 degreeness. However, when dealing with the 60 degree coordination of tetrahedra, which are the volumes bound by the planes of four edge-joined triangles, you will find that you can get fourth power or 'four dimensional' accommodation of space around a point as computed in the terms of linear module frequency of either radius or circumference of the pattern system (which also is to say that linear and angular accelerations are in one-to-one correspondence). You can get 20 tetrahedra around one point, 2⁴ + 2² = 20. Anyone using the tetrahedral concept in coordinating geometry and arithmetic would find that four dimensionality is not an inconceivable or nonconceptual mystery, but a very simple, modelable and rational relationship arrived at by closest packing together of equi-volume tetrahedra around one point.

"Science had thought that it was impossible to be conceptual because it had felt that fourth dimensionality, which had been showing up time and again as an arithmetical behavior of the physics, could not be accommodated by the XYZ coordinate system and it can be coordinated by synergetic geometry. Why can it be? Because the vector equilibrium has a volume of 20. You can get eight cubes around one point and so the third power of two, which is eight, has used up all the space. But using the tetrahedra m I can get a volume of 20 around one point as I do in the vector equilibrium. Minus Twenty is two to the fourth power plus two to the second power and it makes it quite possible to use models of fourth powering by using tetrahedroning.
"In fact, we find m vector equilibrium is unity because its edge module is one as is the cube the module of one. It is when it is one, when it is unity, that its volume is 20. When its edge module is two, it is two to the third power times 20, which is 160, and the volume is 160 where the edge module is two. It will accommodate very high powering, the sixth powering and so forth. It makes possible the actual modelling of the multi-powers. . . "

Since every symmetric system contains a neutral axis, with polar points, it follows that Fuller identifies 'third powering' specifically with a symmetric swarm of points around and in addition to a neutral axial line of points.
To find the total number of points collectively in all a system's layers, it is necessary to multiply the third power of the frequency by one of the first four prime numbers (times 2).

"This freed the scientist then without any need to explain to the writer what was going on. The scientists had been getting along very beautifully in our calculation about fourth power, fourth dimension, because we borrowed a little from tomorrow's clock. We do our problem, then we pay tomorrow back. You can't do that in the physical model, but you can do that on the paper mathematically. We can use the imaginary numbers, the square root of minus one, and so forth. So we get into no trouble at all just handling this with figures and algebra, so we can make a model. .."

Fourth Dimensional Modelability:
"Since the middle of the 19-th century it had been the confusion brought about by the succession of visible thermodynamics by invisible electrodynamics. The crisis was dramatized by the discovery that black bodies were demonstrated to have fourth-power rates of change. The trouble was that the world was accustomed to an eight-place omnidirectional clock (eight cubes around one point) instead of a 20-place omnidirectional clock (with 20 tetrahedra around one point. With the number 20 you can bring the the fourth dimension into modelability with no trouble at all.
"It's been several years now since I made this point in a conversation with C.P. Snow in London and he was kind enough later to acknowledge in an article that 'an American architect' had indeed shown him that the fourth dimension could be modelable."

Since the outset of humanity's preoccupation exclusively with the XYZ coordinate system mathematicians have been accustomed to figuring the altitude of a triangle as a product of the base times one-third of its perpendicular altitude. And the volume of tetrahedra are arrived at by multiplying one-quarter of the height of the perpendicular to the base times the area of the base. But the tetrahedron has four uniquely symmetrical enclosing planes and its dimensions may be arrived at by the use of perpendicular heights above its four possible bases. That's what the fourth dimension system is: it is produced by the angular and size data arrived at by measuring the four perpendicular distances in respect to the centers of area of the four faces of a tetrahedron. As with the triangle, the perpendicular from the center of the tetrahedron's base triangle goes right through the tetrahedron's apex. The central angles converge at 109° 28'.
The area of a triangle is arrived at by multiplying the length of the base line times one-third of the triangle's apex altitude. This is four dimensionality. A tetrahedron of a"

Fourth-dimensional Synergetics Mathematics:
"Our synergetics mathematics is prospering.... We are challenging academia at its heart. We are saying that science requires experimental evidence and experimental proof--yet at the outset adopted mathematical tools that are not experimentally demonstrable.
"Science starts the children off by saying experience in the round is too complicated, 'so we will start off with plane geometry that is two-dimensional.' There is no isolatable, demonstrable two-dimensionality. There are no solids, no continuums--only discrete energy packages. Physics has found no straight lines, only waves. Universe operates four-dimensionally. Physics employs only three-dimensional coordinates. Plane geometry employs rectilinearity and parallelism, when Universe has no parallels. Universe operates only convergently-divergently; that is, gravitationally and radiationally. Universe is always omnidimensional and always intertransforming.....
spontaneously
"The young world seems/prone to take on my synergetics which is, fortunately, conceptual and sensorially testable, ergo experimentally evidenceable. There is no question in my mind any more that it is the coordinate system employed by Universe. Fortunately some great scientists now support me. This means a great revolution, really the greatest."

Q. "You say you think of the vector equilibrium as a fourth-dimensional model? How can you say that?"
RBF: "The error is in assuming that your experience is three-dimensional. You were given height, width, and length, but not heat, weight, longevity, and the others.
"The bicycle wheel model at the Cooper-Hewitt Exhibit shows how you have reciprocity with four dimensions. With only three axes the gears automatically block. You can brake or immobilize any one pair of the eight-bicycle-wheel model and the other six wheels keep rolling around: you can't do that in three dimensions.

"But frequency, as a word key to a functional concept, never relates to the word one because frequency obviously involves some plurality of events. As a one-frequency, ergo sub-frequency, system, the vector equilibrium is really subsize, or a size-independent conceptual integrity. Therefore, frequency begins with two--where all the radials would have two increments. When the edge module of a cube is one, its volume is eight. But when the edge module of a vector equilibrium is one, its volume is 20. A nuclear system is subsize, subfrequency. Equilibrious unity is 20; its minimum frequency state is 160 = 2^5 x 5. This is one of the properties of 60-degree coordination."

"The frequency of any system is determined by the isotropic, omni-intertriangulated, omnidirectionally considerate, vectorially moduled, subdivision enumeration of the system's radial and geodesically chorded circumferential closure's totally relevant involvement limits taken in respect to the system's independent event regenerating center. Because of the required omnitriangulation and isotropicity systems are inherently moduled only by equiangular-equilateral triangles and their regenerative center is that of the vector equilibrium wherefore the radial and circumferentially chorded time-size, i.e., frequency wavelength modules subdivision, by which alone system frequency may be determined, are always identical."

"Because there are no experimentally known 'continuums,' we cannot concede validity to the concept of continuous 'surfaces' or of continuous 'solids.' The dimensional characteristics we used to refer to as 'areas' and 'volumes,' which are always the second- and third-power values of linear increments, we can now identify experimentally, arithmetically, and geometrically only as quantum units that aggregate as points, both in system-embracing areal aggregates and within systems as volume-occupant aggregates. The areal and volumetric quanta of separately islanded 'points' are always accountable numerically as the second and third powers of the frequency of modular subdivision of the system's radial or circumferential vectors."

"Where frequency is one . . . it just means it isn't frequent. Which means frequency must be two or more. In the vector equilibrium where frequency is one, there is only one interval: the first layer = 10 F² + 2 = 12. Twelve balls of the first layer. The center ball has a value of two for inside-outside, convex-concave: terminal condition. But the center ball's frequency is zero."

"The physical Universe is an aggregate of frequencies. Each element is uniquely identifiable in the electromagnetic spectrum by its frequencies. None of them resemble each other and their interactions bring about other unique cycles and frequencies which act like great musical chords. We have a great orchestra-tion which grows from the micro which are absolutely nondetect-able by the human senses to the very complex which are in terms of the whole galaxies. In fact the human senses are only able to tune in to about a millionth of the total known realm of identities of phenomena. Thus comes the awareness of the physical giving the metaphysical employment-- to apply its extraordinary sorting capability."

Frequency Islands of Perception:
"Though the diameter of Betelguese in Orion's Belt is greater than the diameter of the Planet Earth's orbit around the Sun, Betelguese appears to Earthians only as a fine point of light. As in the rate of information recall by the mind from brain storage, there is also an inherent lag in the rate of human optical apprehending of newly perceived phenomena. The pulsative frequency of alternating current electric light at 60 cycles per second is designedly frequenced to coincide with the frequency corresponding to humans' 'second look' stroboscopic rate of apprehending. In a like manner the frequency rate of cinema's picture-frame running is synchronized to coincide with the rate of mental-mouthful digestability of new information receptivity which must check the new information with the old to permit recognition or new cognition. The static frames themselves--as in benday screen printing--are frequency-subdivided into local increments whose wavelength-spacing is infra-tunable by the human-brain-apprehending set. The human brain apprehending at 200 info-bits per inch appears as omnicontinuous, despite the separate frequency islands of their different color light points, each of which is an island of different electromagnetic frequencies. All of the spots are frequency islands like events and novents."

"On a wall in his office at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, Illinois, I saw a photograph of the boot of Italy taken from a plane, seeming to show the earth's curvature. His friend Norman Cousins, former editor of Saturday Review (later to launch a new review, World) sent it, inscribed:

You have liberated yourself most from earth constrictions-- not just specific gravity but general modes of fixed thought.'"

Dear Red:
"I thank you very much for letting me know about the college endowment program which is an excellent one.
"I want you to know a little bit about my own case. I do not have any securities or interest-bearing business investments. In 1927 I committed myself for the rest of my life to undertaking the solution of problems which were not being attended to by others which experience taught me would, if effectively solved, greatly advantage society and if left unattended, would bring about comprehensive disadvantage for all.
"There was no one to pay me for these tasks. No direct bargaining could be undertaken. I saw that the Universe operated regeneratively on an indirect, complex circuitry of intersupport.
"All biological life on Earth is sustained exclusively by star (Sun) radiation. The radiation is vegetation-impounded by photosynthetic chemistry, which proliferates hydrocarbon molecules."

RBF Definitions
"of inadvertently to the cyclically regenerative functioning, I would find myself surviving without direct accountability and only by surprise income sources. This 46-year-old assumption seems to have proven valid as the sums of money which have come to me annually have just about matched my ever-increased funding of original research and development. For the last 20 years the income has averaged greater than $150,000 a year, all of which I have reinvested in further research, ergo, no savings.
"I have not attended directly to developing any income for my heirs. I have, however, inadvertently developed income for them because of the 12 books I have written and published, royalties from which will accrue to them for some time. This means that I do not have any of the guaranteed income-producing capabilities of many amongst our classmates who I am confident will be able to participate in the new endowment program. As I have done throughout all the last 56 years, I will keep on giving annually to Harvard until I die, and will try to increase the giving. I hope that whatever benefit I may be to Harvard accrues to the work I have done. I know that some of my books are already used by Harvard classes."

"To avoid dehydration by Sun exposure the vegetation puts down roots through which, by osmosis, it draws water through its whole system, launching that water into the atmosphere to return some day as rain.
"The vegetation gives off gases that keep the animals going. The mammals give off the gases that keep the vegetation going. Honey bees going after their honey only inadvertently cross-pollinate the vegetation, which vegetation being rooted, could not reach other vegetation to procreate its kind. In the same way the money-bee (sic), humans, going after their profit inadvertently cross-proliferated general production tooling but only for war-making, which all inadvertently in due course provided swiftly amplifying, world-around life support not foreseen by the money bee when underwriting the development of arms production.
"I saw that all living organisms were given genetically incisive drives which, in their accomplishment, inadvertently fed into the complex regenerative pattern of life on planet Earth which has now come to be known integratively as ecology.

"In 1927, I resolved to do my own thinking, and see what the individual starting without any money or credit-- in fact, with considerable discredit, but with a whole lot of experience-- to see what the individual, with a wife and new-born child, could produce on behalf of his fellow men. I have been in this second stage of my life for approximately half a century now."

So I resolved to determine if there was something the little individual could do to help his fellow man, to see if there was something the individual could do that all the vast corporations couldn't. . .
"There is nothing in the system of checks and balances of giant corporations that produces a breakthrough. We keep the system going by deliberately introducing inefficiency. . .
"Humanity has been doing the right things but for the wrong reasons. We're told that the Golden Rule is beautiful and all that, but the hard economic fact is that there's not enough to go around. It's you or the other guy. I tried very hard to play that game until I was 32. But I discovered then that I wasn't doing my own thinking, according to the rules of the game, I was told I was impractical. So I tried to open up again the valves of sensitivity. I resolved to discipline myself not to talk to anyone else unless they asked me. . . and then to give them my very best insights."

"This /the birth of Allegra/ precipitated my absolute determination to peel off. I had really been through a great deal. But I had gone into Harvard with high honors in physics. I had very rich boyhood experience with boats. In my Navy, I had looked into electronics, the chemistries, and navigation. I had papers to command unlimited tonnage on the ocean. I could fly. But I had kept pushing things, trying them out. And it always seemed to come to a dead end. I decided I'd better call myself to account, with this new child to care for. Or get myself out of the way, because I was a mess.
"This is really where I started. I was not called an architect. I was not called anything. I was simply faced with the problem of organizing myself and really starting to use me. I had to educate myself in a great many ways to pursue such a course. But I found it's actually possible for an individual to make first moves, and that these will incite various others."

As a corollary I resolved to eschew further acceptance of conventional recourse to political or moral reforms which, lacking physical energy effectiveness, must in the face of physical inadequacy adopt peaceful or forceful palliation through political action...

"In 1927 I gave up forever what I thought was a fallacy of most of my contemporaries-- in fact, it seemed to me all of my contemporaries. They all said: 'I have to earn a living.' And that had the highest priority in what they were studying at school. The phrase 'earning a living' I thought was wrong. The words really meant you had to prove your right to live; you had to prove that you were worth living; in the face of Darwin and Malthus, there was nowhere near enough to go round, and survival only of the fittest. And I felt that all this was wrong, so I said in 1927: I'm going to give up forever this concept of proving my right to live. I'm going to find out what it is that I've experienced, that I see needs to be done, that nobody else is attending to and that my experience tells me I know how to solve. Most people were attending to very narrow things; therefore it forced me to concentrate on big things, and employ the biggest pattern-comprehending capability with which we are all born." - Cite RBF in "The Listener," transcript by John Donat, 26 Sep'68

Q. "Is it true that you used to drink? Why did you do it?"
RBF: "In the 1930s when I had that great responsibility of exploring our highest scientific capabilities... when I had the burden of proving that politics just might be invalid. I had to regard myself as the custodian--but not the proprietor of the rules of Universe, and not just our little local rules called politics.
"I did not want to be a leader, playing the political game. But this was in the depths of the depression when I sometimes got a decent meal only every two or three days and when some of them in the streets didn't get that much. And I found that people listening to my ideas started treating me as a messiah, as a kind of guru--and I didn't want that so I deliberately took to drink and when the people saw me stumbling out of bars or coming out of a brothel and things like that, well I can tell you that it shook off all those disciples all right."

"I regard Bucky as one of the world's most valuable natural resources and I hope that the main function of the Institute will be to conserve that resource. . . I think he's valuable because he's in a unique position: he inspires hope among the young people, and this is absolutely essential because we now have this curious malaise among the young-- interested in astrology, mysticism, and witchcraft and this sort of nonsense, which, you know, could be a sign of a disintegrating civilization. But he shows that technology can, in fact, save our civilization. . . he is one of the people who inspire hope among the next generation upon whom everything depends.

Both Hugh Kenner and this professor at Stanford have pointed out my mistake in dating the publication and recognition of Malthus's work. I will write them both and thank them. But I have already made the first amends of public admission of my error at a great university-- when I opened my talk yesterday at Harvard, at the Faculty Club, telling them that I have been wrong about the dates.
First of all I welcome corrections. But at Fortune I got into the habit of being casual about dates because we always had researchers to check everything. I talked to the head of the East India Company studies about this. Even though Malthus didn't get his degree till later, he had access to all the facts and figures. And the people around him recognized that his first surmise-- about population-- was so valid that he really had earned his professorship, long before it was actually awarded. As far as that date goes. . . . It is a part of my personal discipline to make a public acknowledgement of my errors. It's not a question of excusing myself. There's no vacuum in Universe about this: your face is what it is. The welcoming of attention to error is of the greatest importance.

Bill Lear had arranged for RBF to meet (fnu) Fernandez-Moran, Director of the Fermi Laboratory, University of Chicago. This was also the site of RBF's one-day meeting with Cyril Stanley Smith in 1950. RBF also recalled that Fernandez-Moran was at MIT at the same time RBF was-- 1955. At the invitation of Fernandez-Moran RBF met with him and his top people in the Chicago Laboratory, from 8.30 - 10.30 a.m., 5 Apr'73.
"They showed me everything they had-- the largest super-conductor in the world, their laser diamond cutter, absolute zero conditions with no energy loss at all. There was a man named Wolf who had won the Scott Medal in Philadelphia and was the head of the electron microscope work in the laboratory. Wolf was the top mathematician at Cambridge. Fernandez-Moran and Wolf said that RBF's mathematical discoveries were really confirmed by the latest developments in nuclear physics. They said that Fuller ranked with Einstein and Dirac as the only other two men whom they knew in their lifetime to make original mathematical discoveries of such significance. (They said Dirac was as mean as was Einstein modest and generous.) They ranked me with Einstein and Dirac as most important personal"

"acquaintances. I said to them that radiation has shadow while gravitational does not. They said that was true but that no one had ever said that to them before. I said that second powering relates to points and not to surfaces. And they understood and they said that that was so. . .
"They said they had known of my work for many years, since the 1940's-- before World War II.
"With their holography they were able to make models of concentric spheres getting smaller and smaller. And I told them about spherics and there is a rhombic dodecahedron around every point in the isotropic vector matrix. I explained my billboard model successively activating each point in an isotropic vector matrix. They understood. And I told them about the 'Coupler' and how the center of the face of the rhombic dodecahedron is congruent with the center of volume of the asymmetric octahedral 'Coupler'; it has eight faces and brings in the octave system, with the value of one.... The interior octahedron of the vector equilibrium made up entirely of energy-conserving A Quanta Modules...."

Fuller, R.B.: A Propos Ben Franklin:
"It was the head of the Soviet Academy of Scientists who first made the comparison of RBF with Edison and Franklin.
"He gave the summary address to the 100 guests of the final formal dinner of the 1961 10-day 'Dartmouth Conference' held that year in Leningrad, between what the Russians called the leading representatives of across-the-board fields of the USA and USSR economies with 30 Russians and 25 USA's participating. Amongst the USA team of 25 were Arthur Larsen, Norman Cousins, Dr. Paul Dudley White (cardiologist), James Michener (author), John Galbraith, Norton Simon, David Rockefeller and B. Fuller. The Russian team had five of its science academicians--also their leading philosophers, writers, economists, sociologists, the head of the moving picture institute, and the editor of Pravda. Both sides had the representatives of their air services and the professional disarmament negotiators.
"It was decided by both teams and mutually agreed between them not to have a final summary of the proceedings. Instead, on the last day's morning a Russian team member would make a comprehensive forecast of world affairs, and in the afternoon"

"The USA member would make his comprehensive forecast which, to some extent, would disclose what hope the meetings might have engendered or not discouraged. The head Russian meteorologist gave the Russian prognostication and B.F. the USA.
"Referring to B. Fuller's prognostication which had received applause from both sides, the President of the USSR Academy of Sciences made the statement that, as a consequence of my prognostication and my domes and map that henceforth I would be ranked in the USSR with Edison and Franklin.
"Franklin was very much an operational man, first a baker and then a printer. Being involved with production in your early life is a very important kind of experience. And then he became interested in economics and homely philosophy. Anyone who is really involved in discovering principles which help other people determine how they should behave, whether Franklin or Mao, is seeking to find those generalized principles governing sociology, which even to this day has failed to discover any such laws ranking with those of science."

"If Franklin had been a large landowner, I'm sure he would never have had the creativity. I'm sure he counseled himself to be as simple as possible and to concern himself with just the truth.
"It's like what Jasper Moore once said to me about why I would never be a success. He said you are always trying to make things simple, when the first rule of success is to try to make things complicated."

Fuller, R.B.: On Galley Proofs:
"I met with Bruce Carrick today from Macmillan and I told him that Thornton Wilder (who was a mathematician though many people didn't know it) said that my mathematics book-- if it is right-- would be more important than Newton's."Principia." ... Now we know that it is right and so tactically it is more important than the "Principia"-- the Greatest Book. I talked Navy to him as a young man and told him I was rather miffed at being stood up for lunch Monday. I told him about our requirements for color plates and he agreed.
"I explained to him in some detail about my method of composition. How a thing is clear, when I write it down on paper. and how much clearer it is again when it comes back after you (EJA) have typed it up. But you really can see vastly more only after it has come back to you as galley proofs. That's when the real writing can begin. This is not a question of being careless. I explained about meeting Winston Churchill's secretary at the N.Y. World's Fair and how we both had to go through seven drafts. Churchill had his speeches and other drafts set up as galleys. With me, my use of galleys is not facetious: it is part of the process of being adequate and thorough."

"I gave Constance Abernethy a job that has really been a very difficult kind of a job. I knew she knew me so well, my philosophy, and was so astute in managing and organizing things. ... And incidentally at this time I was being beset with requests for writing. And I hoped that she might be able to make transcriptions of my talks-- which usually take about seven rewritings; and I thought she might be able to put them together in articles.
"It turned out she couldn't do that. But I said, Constance, I'd like you to take everything I've ever written and have any number of xeroxes you need of anything and take it apart in actual idea increments. Maybe there's a paragraph-- maybe three paragraphs long-- and begin to collate those ideas. Time and again I've found myself having to talk about those same ideas, but they actually get progressively treated and they get a little better. So if we had a file where you kept cutting things out and were able some way to identify that idea and were able to catalog it so you finally have seven statements of the same idea and pick out the best one or going over them find out what I've left out in several."

And I think it would be awful to try to remember that you've seen this there and here and put all those together. She was very devoted. And she'd gotten to the point of identifying different idea increments with different kinds of names and tried to get up some kind of proper indexing. A really expert indexer would be able to cross reference them so they could be called up very importantly.
"I hoped she would be able-- when she had a tape recording of a talk I'd given some place and they wanted it transcribed to be printed someplace-- that she'd be able to say that's paragraph number seven and this is paragraph so-and-so, and she'd be able to pull out those paragraphs and put a composite together. I thought that could be done. She never has been able to literally do that. I still think it's actually possible. But the point is she has worked very hard and has a very large collection of work, very large and very valuable. She's now going to stop working for me and Dale's going to pick that up in New York."

"People who listen to me say, 'Here's a man who's selling screwdrivers... they don't realize how mysterious screwing is. ... I've been identified only with the physical so far. I went through 25, 30 years of people saying: this is the bathroom man, or the automobile man-- that's all they thought about me. It's only in the last couple of years that they discover I'm a thinker. And I started off as a thinker. I didn't start with bathrooms. I started off with God and my charge was to work with the physical. That's where I had the capability; that's why we're here. I accepted this. And to find myself identified, then, with just being a fishing-pole salesman! I find this thing echoed when you say that about my analogy, 'cause I use a very good tool there.

Fuller, R.B: Moratorium on Speech:
"The conditioned reflexes, they absolutely astonish me... because 50 years ago, I went into a speech moratorium so that when I made a sound I would know that I really meant to use that word. I saw that we--like parrots--could make sounds so easily.... How we can learn patterns and know absolutely the right way for school without really knowing anything. I think many of us got very good marks in school. If we are honest, we admit that we really don't know anything. I think it is very different from reasoning.
"So talking about conditioned reflexes, one person says a cliche and another person pops back with the appropriate other one. This sort of nonsense goes on. This was on my mind and I thought that I must shut off the proclivity in myself for that cliche or countercliche... and I must use words only because I intend to use the words... and obviously at that time I said all the blasphemy, and so forth... but it has actually no meaning. It would be impossible for any human being to be the son of a dog, or whatever it may be. It would be impossible to hold sexual intercourse with a grandmother who was no longer alive--so I said I was forever

"going to give up those kinds of expressions. I had not grown up with such language, but when I came to have my first job in New York, the second time I was kicked out of Harvard, I found that all the workmen there thought that I was probably a homosexual because I spoke the language I had learned at Milton Academy and Harvard and it sounded so absolutely different from their language which was 50 percent obscene or plasphemous, that I sounded so queer to them that they thought I was a sexual pervert or something. I was sure I wasn't, but the only way I could convince them, I couldn't teach them my language, and I got pretty good at the horrible cursing and blasphemy, so that it was... in there from way back before World War I, so I am talking about 65 years ago.
"So in 1927, 50 years ago, I said I'm never going to use any of that blasphemy ever again.
"I will be driving in my car and suddenly someone will hm come out of a side road very dangerously and I will say 'son of a bitch!' and I am so absolutely shocked I will say 'Jesus Christ' that this could come out of me. I want to emphasize to you psychiatrists how very deep these things"

"are to somebody who has determined not to use these words, it is always under surprise. It is always because it is a dangerous surprise and you have to alert yourself very fast to avoid an accident. I try very hard not to allow it any more. I was driving with my wife and her young nephews and nieces quite a few years ago and one of those things happened. One of her nephews was standing next to me and about an hour later someone came out of a side road, and the nephew said, 'Uncle Bucky, aren't you going to call him a son of a bitch?' And you realize how terrible and unbecoming it was. That's the subconscious we are talking about here--conditioned reflexes in which things we haven't done or thought about for a long, long time and a surprise element will bring them out.
"You have a very difficult one to cope with there, don't you? that these things could be so organized in the subconscious?"

He gave himself very much to the other man. He had allegiance to his intuitions and to the universal phenomenon of love. Just ask a scientist to give you the difference between a stone and love. Science is absolutely wrong in thinking that the physical--all that chemistry lying there--is life, when it has nothing to do with what life is.
Christopher Morley loved life so much. He was courageous about being utterly metaphysical."

And you will tell them. And the news of your invention will get around and in due course if what you have developed is needed in an emergency, the world will come to you for it."

As a child he had such a bad eye defect that he thought his sister was telling tall tales when they compared notes about their visual world.
His vision was corrected with spectacles (he now also wears a hearing-aid), but, as an original independent thinker, his mental view of the universe has never quite coincided with that of other people.
At school he fell into the pattern of accepting authority, but "I didn't seem to see things the way other people did," he says.
Today, he describes himself as a harbinger of society-- a citizen of the world with a post office address at Southern Illinois University, a man "living in the frontier of the breaking pattern of humanity."
"I find that what happens to me happens to the rest of society not long after," he says. "If economics are going badly for me, for instance, I feel very sorry for the rest of the world because it's going to happen to them not long after." (At the moment, he adds, his personal economics are doing well.)

This is because I soon found that they were not about the real me, which is the thinking me. Their books are about legendary-type characters that they (and many other writers, too) have spontaneously fabricated from too little data and too narrowly-focussed a viewpoint. Neither of them let me see their manuscripts nor checked any 'facts' with me.

Fuller, R.B: Unpublished Mathematical Discoveries:
"Certain it is on my own part
That I have made several mathematical discoveries
Of fundamentally unexpected and unpublished nature.
As I realized my discovery
I always have had
The same strange sensation
That this newly realized conception,
Previously unknown to terrestrial humans,
Had been known
To the human mind
Sometime vastly long ago."

"Acutely aware of our beings' limitations and acknowledging the infinite mystery of the a priori Universe into which we are born, but nevertheless searching for a conscious means of hopefully competent participation by humanity in its own evolutionary trending, while employing only the unique advantages inhering exclusively to the individual who takes and maintains the economic initiative in the face of the formidable physical, capital, and credit advantages of the massive corporations and political states, and deliberately avoiding political ties and tactics, while endeavoring by experiments and explorations to excite individuals' awareness and realization of humanity's higher potentials, I seek through comprehensive anticipatory design science and its reductions to physical practices, to reform the environment instead of trying to reform men, being intent thereby to accomplish prototyped capabilities of doing more with less, whereby in turn the wealth-augmenting prospects of such design science regenerations will induce their spontaneous and economically successful industrial proliferation by world-around services' managements, all of which chain-reaction-provoking events will both permit and induce all humanity to realize full lasting economic and physical"

But the fact is I really am pure guinea pig to me... Back in 1927... I committed myself to as much of a fresh start as a human being can have-- to try to go back to the fundamentals and see what nature was really up to. But I was all alone, and up against the massive corporation and the massive state. 'Can the unsupported individual really get anywhere?' I asked myself. Because I'm not impractical I'm not a blind idealist. How could I work in the system without capital backing? And I came to the following conclusion: In the Universe everything is always in motion, and everything is always moving in the directions of least resistance. That's basic. So I said, 'If that's the case, then it should be possible to modify the shapes of things so that the follow preferred directions of least resistance.' I made up my mind at this point that I would never try to reform man-- that's much too difficult. What I would do was to try to modify the environment in such a way as to get man moving in preferred directions...

Now, writing about Bucky has its peculiar difficulties, of which the leading one is that it is almost impossible except in his own idiom. There is a very good reason for this-- that his creative thinking, does genuinely seem to be done in the grammar and syntax he uses when speaking. Problems are simultaneously bulldozed frontally, undermined termitically, and outflanked by relative clauses lasting up to six weeks. All this is fine while Bucky is telling the tale himself, except possibly for people sitting at the back of large audiences who cannot follow his facial expressions or the subtleties of his hand-actions. Comprehensibility survives into print, if the text is Bucky's own, but if it is written by another hand. .. trouble! In kobertark's 1960 book on Bucky, the interference between his own manner of writing and !ucky's manner of thinking, produces a style that falls apart-- ponderous and pedestrian on the maths, which it fails to illuminate, turgid when it turns to narrative, which it fails to animate.

Functions are never independent of one another. No tension member is innocent of compression and no compression member innocent of tension. Tension and compression are in respect to one another like tides-- one is in high tide while the other is in low tide-- or you might say low tide of visible apprehendability. They are strictly functions in regard to one another. The meaning of a function is that it is part of a complementary pattern and there is no function existing by itself, X only in respect to Y, so your tension and compression are interfunktioning with weight variables of relative importance in the local pattern inspected.

A system is something that divides the Universe into all that is inside the system as distinct from all that is outside of it. Your body is such a system. So is a tomato can. So is the Earth. Viewed from inside, a system is concave; viewed from outside, it is convex. As the sums of the angles add up, the total is always less degrees than a plane. In order to take a flat piece of paper and make it into any kind of polyhedron, regular or irregular, you are going to have to keep taking out angles to bring it back to itself until, finally, it is a polyhedron. You always come into that concavity and convexity eventually. When energy radiation impinges on concavity, the radiation converges; energy impinging on convexity diverges the radiation. So concave and convex always-and-only coexist. I give you three kinds of always-and-only coexisting functions: tension and compression, concave and convex, and proton and neutron. Now we can develop something we call the theory of functions where we have x and y as the two covariables and have the x standing for tension, convex, and proton and y standing for compression, concave, neutron.

The greatest overall misapprehension regarding the complex-continuities is that which assigns a static or 'at rest' analysis to the sum total sensation of individual experience and consequently to the sum total of all individuals' experience. Against the inertia of a seemingly static whole, each new harmonic incorporation of life therefore seemingly impinges as a dynamic perversity. This is why we frequently remark, 'Man tends to back up into his future.'

Future of Synergetics:
"The rate of change and number of special-case self-retransformings of physical evolution tend ever to accelerate, differentiate and multiply; while the rate of change and numbers of self-remodifyings of generalized law conceptionings of metaphysical evolution tend ever to decelerate, simplify, consolidate and ultimately unify."

Future of Synergetics:
"I am . . . thoroughly aware that there is a whole new generation of young people who are becoming preoccupied with this field. I am aware that the return of science to full conceptuality . . . is leading to ultimate popular comprehension of the vast ranges of science's nuclear, chemical, and biological explorations wherein, for a century, it had been assumed that nature developed her energy patternings and transformation without modelability.
"As a result of my energetic-synergetic geometry breakthrough, we are entering a new era in which the transactions and transformations of nature have become so lucidly, rationally, and simply conceptual that children will be playing games of nuclear, chemical, and biological structuring as a fundamental kindergarten preoccupation. The great awkwardness of irrational constants characterizing today's and yesterday's physics will vanish. The awkward irrationalities were the consequence of man's attempts to measure the omnidynamically transforming fourth, fifth, and sixth dimensional Universe with a static three dimensional system."

Future of Synergetics:
"There is a question-asking-possibility that omniscience may be transcendental in velocity to the definitive physical speed of energy omnipotence. The synergetic anticipatory capabilities of intellect (in respect to conceptual formulations of evolutionary transforming potentials of universe and the anticipatory stratagems evolved by intellect to test such hypotheses) imply the possibility of a velocity transcendence of omniscient functioning over omnipotence functioning which would mean an intellectually regenerated evolutionary extension of universe in generalized synergetical integrity. Intellect's comprehensive anticipatory objectives indicates a speed of functioning transcendental to physical events. Intellect may be 'creating' finitely extending and re-fining universe as it asks each next good question."

A complex reorganization of mathematics will probably occur within the next quarter century (or generation) with all the so-called elementary phases relegated to non-sense and the ever most advanced intuitions shifted to elementary priority in the effective informing of the new life by the old.
