Galileo: Galilei: (1564-1642):
" I liked what Galileo had been doing with his force diagrams even though they did turn out to be inadequate because he did it on a plane instead of omnidirectionally. But it was good thinking that things did run into each other and there were a resultant of forces. You could prove things on the billiard table showing that Avogadro was right. So there were lengths of vectors that were lengths of vectors that were proportional to the mass times the velocity and there were unique directions in Universe."

Game: Synergetics as a Game:
"Energetic Geometry is, as mathematicians say, a game; and it is a game of solitaire I started playing in 1917. It is now no longer a game of solitaire. Certainly, I have many friends like Duncan (Stuart) who are playing the game with us and we find it very fruitful. When a game becomes fruitful, whereby you can get information from the game itself, one can transfer it to the larger game of life.
"Energetic Geometry started as a game before it had the nice name of Energetic Geometry. It started in 1917 when I was in the Navy and was interested in trying to give myself an additional education which I did not receive in college. I suppose the education I was trying to give myself would have arrived in very fine order if I would have had the chance of going on in college; and I assumed that what I began to discover in the game was territory that had been well covered by students long ago. In some instances that would seem to be the case. In other instances, it would seem that we have rediscovered arrangements of phenomena that, if they have been known to man, have long since been forgotten. I must say that when you play a game like this you get a strange feeling when you come into view of arrangements of components of your energetic Universe with which you are not at all familiar and"

Gears
Index Entry
Gears:
"The old-fashioned physicist used to put one nail in the wall, fasten a rope to it, and stand back and throw a whip into the rope. The whip goes to the nail on the wall and then comes back to his hand and stops. That is the prime characteristic of waves. They always make a complete cycle. That is why, for instance, gears are always whole circles. A gear is a fundamental wave phenomenon. Electromagnetic waves always close back upon themselves."

Gears
Index Entry
Gears:
"Frequencies in waves may be thought of very realistically in the terms of cycles, and you can think then, for instance, of a gear, a mechanical gear which has teeth; they represent waves when they come back to the cycle. And in designing the wave phenomena of the Universe, when the Universe has a lot of energy to invest she doesn't do it as often. With a finite amount of physical energy she does big things very infrequently, and little things very frequently. It's exactly like a gear where you have a few big teeth and many little teeth for the same amount of circumference, the same amount of metal."

Gears: Spherical Gears
← Gears: Loose Gear | Gears: Toothed Gears →
RBF Definitions
"Having different sized teeth, and rates of revolution,
Two such gears cannot mesh, but associate only tangentially.
Consequently, their axial centers must be farther apart
Than are those of meshable gears.
Omnidirectionally pulsative systems
Are, in effect, spherical gears.
Their inwardly and outwardly pulsating and rotating 'teeth'
Consist of multifrequenced circumferential and radial waves
Of fifty-six great-circle subdivisions of spherical unity,
Often nonmeshing with other local systems.
The universally infrequent meshing of wavelengths and frequencies
Produces an omnicondition
In which the new omnidirectional system's center must, as each is
created,
Continually occupy omnidirectionally greater domains of disorder."

"Toothed gears correspond with wave frequency cycles. Waves are cyclic. Whatever the number of teeth might be we can call the wave frequency. Two gears that do not mesh can only be brought into tangent proximity and take up more room than do meshing gears. Frequencies given off entropically that don't mesh with energies given off by other systems take up more room in Universe."

Even numbers of gears will always reciprocate and the odd numbers will always block. So no longer can those balls roll in a plane on the triangle which they form. If one tries to go one way it will make the next one go the other way; and one can't be moving in two different ways, so odd numbers will always block."

There's no drive we have quite so great as the sense of order and the urge to employ the sense of order. The best I can see of man's function is the one of the mind. The mind has the ability to generalize. We don't have any experimental suggestion that the physical would be able to generalize. The physical is always a special case. Each of the neurons are keeping the special case incident, but in mind we see the ability to run them over and find out that which is generalized among them. For instance, we said the other day that we have the theory of functions where X can stand for tension and Y for compression; where X could stand for photons and Y for neutrons; where X could stand for concave and Y for convex. These are always normally coexistent. That's the theory of Functions, that is, a generalization of generalizations. And there are generalizations which embrace a plurality of generalizations.
There are very basic first-degree generalizations, and second-degree, and third-degree, and fourth-degree. We find there are five degrees of generalizations where one embraces the others, and we finally get to a word like 'Universe.' - Cite RBF to World Game, Jun-Jul'69

We find that the ability to generalize is absolutely unique to mind and that the little dog has brains, beautiful brains, but not mind.
"We have no experience of the mind except in terms of the human being; the mind of the human being, which is able to apprehend and comprehend generalized principles. All the generalized principles have been discovered by human mind. The people who have discovered them are usually called scientists. Sometimes there's a poet, but really the sort of artist-scientist is the one who discovers them, and every time he discovers them, he's prone to make a record of the fact that he discovered it, and that he didn't invent it."

There can't be a principle that has a 'beginning' and an 'ending'. We cannot suggest that an abstraction could have a beginning and an end. The words 'beginning' and 'end' have to do with the physical.
"So we have, then, this extraordinary a priori set of absolutely weightless, pure metaphysical principles which all interaccommodate and therefore are extraordinarily orderly. And they can only be discovered by intellect or mind. They seem to be quite clearly purely metaphysical, and in their orderliness and metaphysicality, they seem to be intellectual in their own right. There seems to be an a priori greater intellect operative in the Universe.

It is going to take too long to get this information back and sorted out to use. Instead of trying to deal in all the special cases, deal exactly with the opposite; work towards the great generalizations. Mathematics is one of the great generalizations and so I've worked and kept myself at mathematics. By understanding the fundamentals of mathematics, I can now understand special case behaviors very rapidly. This is one of the major strategies."

The whole process of generalizing generalizations forms a pyramid whose base consists of all the special cases of direct physical experiences. But when we said, 'We take a piece of rope and tense it,' we did not in fact have a rope in our hands. We have all had so many rope experiences that we generalized the concept. This was a first degree generalization. The discovery of always and only coexisting tension and compression was a second degree generalization. Finding a whole family of always and only coexisting phenomena was a third degree generalization; and conceiving therefrom a relativity was a fifth (sic) degree generalization.
In this pyramid of generalizations, the human mind then goes way beyond the biologicals in its development of an increasing and diminishing conceptual Universe. So we find the metaphysical not only balancing the physical-- which should have been expected-- but also encompassing the physical by one tetrahedron, and thereafter reducing its myriadness to unity. The metaphysical, as with the circumferentially united, great-circle chord vectors of the vector equilibrium, coheres the physical.

"When a second order of pattern distillation as a generalized conceptual principle emerges, but this time exclusively from the emergently-induced coordinate consideration of a plurality of generalized conceptual principles themselves, each independent of any special-case sensoriality, and in such a regeneratively recognizable manner of patterning as to provide a means of mathematical accounting and therefrom a tentative forecasting capability, not only of generalized developments but also of special forward experiences in the terms of specific sensorial conditions, and those calculated forecast condition materialize, and the forecasting capability is subsequently verified by recurrent experimental demonstrations under controlled generalized conditions, then we may tentatively assume that we have discovered at least a clause of 'natural law.' For example, we tentatively assume that radiation is generalized compression and that gravity is generalized tension and that tension and compression are inseparable, precessionally complementary functions of universal structure."

Generalizations Reduced to One Word:
"... The total rope experiences is perhaps ten thousand kinds, and we've gotten that down to only one piece of rope. Then we took all the myriad kinds of experience with concaves and convexes and with protons and neutrons; we got that down into the theory of functions, and then we embraced that even further, getting just the word 'relativity.' And finally we got this word 'Universe.' What we have here is a pyramid of all the special cases working up to generalizations, and generalizations to one word. That's as orderly as you can get.
"We were looking for a phase of Universe where things are contracting and increasingly orderly. Nothing could be more orderly than those generalizations."

Many such dichotomies are necessary to reduce the net relevant components of the net system sought with exact knowledge of all the topologically identified components of the net relevant system.
"In other words, I use a generalized dichotomy and not a special case. Obviously, when each special case use of my grand strategy occurs, then we will have a series of special case dichotomies."

Human mind has discovered a number of generalized principles, each quite different from the others: one, for instance, being mass attraction; another being leverage; another being refraction of radiation; another being precession, etc. in order to qualify as generalizations, these different principles found by science must be devoid of exceptions. Therefore, principles must be both eternal and mutually interaccommodative. Humanity apparently discovered a plurality of a priori, absolute, weightless, abstract principles, each displaying unique mathematical relationships, realization of which generalizations can be employed physically by humans but only in time-limited special cases-- for instance, to produce a lever of such and such a length of wood or other substance.
Only through a succession of many subjective, special-case physical experiences do we humans gradually tome to discover a generalized principle. Later we also discover that we can objectively employ those generalized principles. But then we find they can only be employed in spacial-case physical ways. Only the human mind can discover and think conceptually in generalized terms. Physical life is always a special-case.

Human mind alone has the capability to process and conceptualize in eternal, weightless, timeless metaphysical abstractions. It follows that while all human organisms exemplify and embrace a large number of generalized principles. Each human demonstrates the complex interaccommodation of an aggregate of generalized principles.
So we have discovered, then, an eternally regenerative universe consisting of a complex of eternally generalized principles, wherein none of the generalized principles has ever been found to contradict the others, and, indeed, all are found to be interaccommodative at exponential rates of synergetic interaugmentation, as for instance, the efficiency of an electromagnetic generating and distributing system increases as the square, i.e., as n², of the rate of the system's voltage increase.

"Just now, man is coming into technical discovery of general systems theory. The experimental probing of the potentials of the computers awakened man to a realization of the vast complexes of variables that can be mastered by general systems theory. So far, man has dealt but meagerly and noncomprehensively with his powerful planning capability. So far, he has employed only limited systems theory in special open-edged systems-- 'tic-tac-toe' rectilinear grid systems and planar matrixes. The arbitrary open parameters of infinite systems can never be guaranteed to be adequate statements of all possible variables. Infinite systems engender an infinite number of variable factors. Unless one starts with Universe one always inadvertently starts with open infinite systems. Only by starting with finite Universe and progressively dismissing finite irrelevancies can one initiate finite, locally limited, general system theory to assured satisfaction in problem solving."

"The 12 universal degrees of freedom govern the external and internal motions of all independent systems in Universe. In order to take synergetic strategy advantage and thereby to think comprehensively and anticipatorily, in terms of total systems, we have to start off with Universe itself as a closed finite system that misses none of the factors. We must also include all the universal degrees of freedom, and the approximately unlimited range of frequencies in the use thereof, which cover all variable interrelationships of Universe. They become the controlling factors governing general systems and, thereby govern such supercomplex systems design as that of a nation's navy or a fundamental program for comprehensively considerate and efficiently effective use of all world resources.

"General systems theory treats with phenomena that are holistically comprehensible. The objects of our experience are finite systems. Their superficial outlines close back upon themselves multidirectionally as a systematic continuity of relevantly contiguous events.
"Maximum system complexity consists of a dissimilarly quantified inventory of unique and nonintersubstitutable components. That is, Euler's irreducible-system aspects of vertexes, areas, and edges exhibit the respective dissimilar quantities 4, 4, and 6 in the minimum prime system, the tetrahedron. This demonstrates the inherent synergy of all systems, since their minimum overall inventory of inherent characteristics is unpredicted and unpredictable by any of the parts taken separately. Systems are unpredicted by oneness, twoness, or threeness. This explains how it happens that general systems theory is a new branch of science.

Genius:
"The genius, as discovered by genetics is characterized by a combination of highly divergent physical life cells that are representative of widely cross-bred parent chains. These cells engage in a ceaseless polar tug-of-war for dominance of the specific human offspring and the result is a dual or multiple personality manifestation. Each progressively revealed momentarily prevailing personality is a summary of the dominants of the whole hereditary line.
"Dual or multiple personality provides, then, two or more viewpoints-- equivalent to the two eyes of a range finder, an instrument which mechanically widens the distance between the two human eyes; or to the multiple eyes of the Fairchild aerial camera. Thus genius has the ability to 'fix' events by the convergent angle of two or more 'sight lines,' not only in time (or space) past, but, also, in time (or space) ahead, from the central perspective of self-now. Resultantly it becomes possible for genius first to analyze teleologically such 'fixed' phenomena, and then to objectify them in a precise time-energy composition. Genius's dual or multiple personalities may be said to be representative of a breadth of viewpoint, more-than-average, highly worldly, and having an exquisite sense of Timeliness."

Genius: Children Are Born Geniuses:
"All children are born geniuses. Out of every 1,000 some 999 are swiftly and inadvertently degeniused by the grown-ups. Because millions of human beings in all the years of their history have always been born naked, helpless, and though superbly equipped cerebrally, utterly lacking in experience, ergo utterly ignorant. Their delicate sensing equipment is as yet untried.
"Born with built-in hunger, thirst, curiosity, and procreative urge, they could only learn what humanity has earned by trial and error--by billions upon billions of errors. Lest humanity be utterly dismayed by these errors, humans were also endowed with easily self-deceiving pride by all those witnessing their errors--proclaimed to themselves and others that they (the witnesses) knew the answers all the time. Motivated entirely by love, but also by fear for the future of the children they love, parents in their ignorance act as though they know all the answers and curtail the spontaneous exploratory acts of the genius of their children.
"Genius does its own thinking-- has confidence in its own exploratory finding, has confidence in its own intuitions."

Nature has her own gestation rates for all evolutionary development. The behaviors of the parents represent the checks and balances of nature's gestation control. Humanity can evolve healthily only at a given rate. Maria Montessori was fortunately permitted to maintain, sustain, and cultivate her innate genius. Maria's innate genius involved her awareness of the genius inherent in all other children. The intuition and initiative of genius inspired Maria to discover ways of safeguarding the genius while allaying the ignorant fears of the children's parents--but not all parents--far from it. Hers was the difficult frontiering task of genius.

"By genius I mean those who act spontaneously with imaginative realism-- that is, by subconscious coordination of brain by mind-- as stimulated by intuitive insights regarding the interrelationship significances of their successive experiences; such geniuses are to be contrasted to those who respond only to external considerations, self-conscious disciplines and pre-conditioned nerve and muscle reflexing.
"All children are born geniuses but almost all are swiftly degeniused by environmental events. By environment I mean all of the Universe that is not self.
"Great artists and great scientists are the same. They cannot be one without being them other. Both realize their inspirations through intuitions. Both have complete confidence in the validity of their intuitions. Both have the courage to commit themselves to the testing of their intuitions."

Index Entry
We have a mathematical phenomenon known as a geodesic. A geodesic is the most economical relationship between any two events. It is a special case of geodesics which finds that a seemingly straight line is the shortest distance between two points in a plane. Geodesic lines are also the shortest surface distances between two points on the outside of a sphere. Spherical great circles are geodesics.

"When we begin to talk about the interconnection between the individual atoms that make our sphere, we find that there are arcs and there are chords. And the shortest distance is the chord. So it's the chords that come together instead of the arcs. . .
"What you call a sphere is all the most important shortest systems between all the points, which turn out to be all triangulated. You can divide all the other polygons into triangles and that's as far as you go. You can't have something less than the triangle. So we get all the most economical relationships between all those points and you simply have a spheroidal array of triangulated interrelationships. Simply what we call a geodesic, a dome. You can see how you arrive at this by something very simple. So the simplest sphere which is concave and convex is the m tetrahedron. It seems to be a very angular sphere."

"A geodesic line means the most economical relationship between events, but the events are not necessarily simultaneous. So there is a relationship between a rocket that just went off and another rocket that goes off a little later. When for instance, if you are so peculiar in the head that you like to shoot at a duck, if you want to hit the duck the way to shoot is not at the duck. You shoot where you hope the duck is going to be, but you don't shoot at the duck or you won't hit it. This is typical of the geodesic relationship between yourself and a nonsimultaneous event. The point of the head would not be simultaneous to any shoot. We have pictures taken during this last world war of night battles between two planes using tracer bullets and the pictures are sometimes taken from the firing plane and sometimes from another plane in company with it. In these pictures of the tracer bullets you will sometimes see a plane fire and hit another plane, but the lines are completely skew lines. These are geodesic lines. They are the most economical relationship between those two events. In a nonsimultaneous Universe all the relationships are geodesic. There are no straight lines."

Geodesics:
"Einstein and Reimann had resuscitated from a similar limbo to that of pre-1800 synergy the word 'geodesic' as used in relation to great circles on spheres and then anew to Einstein's curved space mathematics. Stevenson had long used geodetics to embrace the whole art and science of measuring the dimensions of subdivision of approximately spherical Earth. I gave geodesics a new scientific definition as 'constituting the most economical relationships between separate event entities in loci in Universe.
"At any one given moment in time, geodesics were dramatically and visually manifest during World War II in photographs taken by the U.S. Air Force of two fighter planes in a "dogfight" at night with one ship firing it nose-mounted machine gun using luminous tracer bullets and successfully hitting its enemy ship. These two airplanes (unattached to Earth) were two 'celestial bodies' and the geodesic line of most economical interrelationship between them was that of the bullets that 'knocked the other out' and that luminous, chain of bullets' tracers was always an acceleratedly cork-screw line."

Geodesics:
"More geodesics--the top leaves of fast-growing vines reach toward the Sun as the Earth revolves, leaving them reaching westward and outward at evening sunclipse. In the morning, the Sun is to the eastward and the vine circles its top leaves to reach eastward; thus the spiraling vine's leaves are always nearer to the Sun than are the vine's roots.
"But Einstein spoke only of geodesic lines--because the great circles of a sphere provide the shortest distances between any two points on the surface of a sphere, they are called geodesic lines. Superimpose a circle of the radius of 80° north latitude upon the equator of a 12-inch Earth globe, which equator is a geodesic line. The latitude circle which is not a geodesic but a lesser circle, crosses the equator at two points, A and B, and it is quickly manifest that it is a shorter distance between A and B along the equator than it is along the circular distance of the small circle. Because I structured my spherical structures entirely with triangles consisting entirely of chords of those great circles, they were structured in the most economical awareness for that form, and therefore did not want to transform into any other shape. I called the structures 'geodesics--and the art and science of dealing with geodesic lines as 'GEODESICS.'"

"In the same way it was discovered that local, chord compression struts could be islanded from one another, and could be only tensionally and non-inter-shearingly connected to produce stable and predictably efficient enclosures for any local energetic environment valving uses whatsoever by virtue of the approximately unlimited range of frequency-and-angle, subtriangle-structuring modulatability."

Quite clearly, I am, to myself, not a dome salesman. In fact I don't want to be a salesman of anything. I don't want to persuade anybody to do anything that is illogical and anti-evolutionary. I'm identified with the dome only because, back in 1927, in trying to seek out how I might be able to affect and help man most, I said: if I could only protect younger life while it still has its comprehensive interest in the total Universe and give it a chance to develop its faculties for comprehending the whole-- it would be a way in which we might most rapidly arrive at a condition where all of humanity might be a success. So, I said, this means a controlled environment, and I kept searching for ways not only of controlling it, but of using the chemistry around us in our environment so effectively that there would be enough to go round to take care of everybody and not just a few. All this brought me into very deep study of all that science was doing and all forms of industrialization, and how we could produce the most with the least. This meant then that I went into a series of experiments in how to control the environment, and it was the geodesic dome that was the practical breakthrough.

These are exact opposites and none of these alternating operative behaviors would be visible to an observer of a geodesic dome as the latter remained poised, apparently serene, in a hurricane. Geodesic domes are then designed as synergetic complexes of events which maintain a superficial ultra-high-frequency integrity of constellar patterning."

Geodesic Structure:
"Though superficially similar in patternings to radiolaria and flies' eyes, geodesic structuring is true invention. The radiolaria collapse when taken out of water. Flies' eyes will not provide structural precedent of man-occupiable structures.
"The processes of engineering, up to the moment of introduction of my invention of geodesic structures, are predicated upon the stress analysis of individual beam and column behaviors, as separate components and thereafter upon comprehensively organized beams, columns and cantilevers as a solid compressional over-all integrity of cohesion, aided here and there by tensionally exaggerated sinews--tension being subordinate and local. Therefore, engineering as academically constituted in 1951 could in no way predict the associated behaviors of geodesics, in which any one, several or many of the components could be removed without, in any way, jeopardizing the structural integrity cohesion of the remaining primary structure."

Geodesic Structure:
"Emulating the compound curvature trussing the atom's dynamic structure comprised of great-circle forces, our geodesic structure, though not inventing the principles, employs them for the first time in man-made structure. This was a patentable invention. . .
"In our geodesic structures, the surface of a sphere is interlaced by an omni-three-way grid of great circles which always uniquely intercept one another in such a manner that everywhere the surface areas described by the intersections are triangular. As triangles are nondistortable, this intersecting, if substantially structured, represents a rigid trussing of the spherical surface. If, between each of the vertexes or intersections of the great circles occurring in the surface of the sphere, we construct chords, or straight lines, these lines must fall below the surface between their surface terminals. The lines converging at any one vertex all leading away below the point on the surface must form a convex intersection or pyramidal point. As we press against any convex vertex, where the other ends of the lines are elastically restrained, the vertex will subside and the lines will tend to form a flat plane."

Geodesic Structure:
"As each of the chordal ends between vertexes of our geodesic structure is tensionally restrained by the comprehensive trussing of the sphere, it is seen that when pressure is exerted inwardly against any vertex it will thrust outwardly against each of the chords leading radially from it. It will be seen that, inasmuch as each vertex represents a pyramid of triangular planes, the bases of the planes opposite the vertex constitute a closed tensional ring. Because the linkage is of great circle chords and because sections of the great circle always represent the shortest distance between any two points on a sphere (and the chords of the great circle represent the shortest distance between the two points in space through the sphere), the ring of chords tensionally opposite the compression thrust of the pyramidal lines from any one vertex may not be elongated. The vertexes will not subside.
"Thus it seems that the geodesic structure employs the principle of compound curvature as the stress is radially distributed from a single point. All the vertexes surrounding any one vertex are secondarily actuated, and each in turn thrusts outwardly to adjacent vertexes; rings of triangles of geodesic lines are successively activated from the original thrust"

"against one vertex until six rings have been activated and the equator is reached. All thrusting outwardly against the equator symmetrically, their outward thrust is compoundingly restrained by the opposite hemisphere.
"In the case of a geodesic structure representing a portion of a sphere, the functions of the balance of the sphere are rendered by the Earth, which tends to complete the spherical structure by stress extension within the Earth. Thus, in compound curvature structures of nature, emulated in principle by our geodesic structure, working stresses are ultimately translated into omnidirectional outward thrust from the stressed centers, and are ultimately satisfied throughout all the cohesiveness of all the enclosing tension. In contradistinction to simple curvature, which is ultimately satisfied in polar focus upon two compression points, compound curvature invokes ultimate activation of comprehensive tension.

Is tensegrity a special case of geodesics?"
RBF Reply: "Geodesics are generalizations. It does not mean 'structure,' it means the most economical relationship between any two events. But tensegrity involves more than two events. All of Universe is tensegrity. Geodesic is the relation between the Moon and the Earth. Tensegrity is always a total system.
"Geodesics represent a subgeneralization of tensegrity. All geodesics are not, as built, tensegrities. Tensegrities are inherently nonredundant."

In the first place I found this a very important and satisfying kind of discovery and it stopped me from having to know where the ball ends. It is not a ball, but thought begins to develop the first geometry with a dismissal outwardly and a dismissal inwardly which leaves a spherical zone of irrelevancy. The thinking is omnidirectional."

"Thinking about precession Goldy observes that fish fan their tails sideways to produce forward motion, that snakes wriggle sideways to produce forward motion. She sees that iceboats attain speeds of 60 miles per hour in a direction at right angles to wind blowing at half that speed. Coming back to her triangles and their synergetic surprise behaviors, Goldy flips one simple white triangle over and find the other side is black. She realizes that there are two triangles, the obverse and reverse, always and only coexisting congruently.
"Goldy realizes that every sphere has a concave inside and a convex outside. She knows that convex and concave are not the same because concave reflectors concentrate energy as radiation and convex mirrors diffuse the radiant energy. Convex and concave are nature's macro-to-micro or macro-to-macro radiant-energy transformers.
"Goldy realizes that unity is always plural and at minimum two. Unity does not mean the number one. She realizes that one does not and cannot exist by itself. In Universe life's existence begins with awareness. No otherness: no awareness. The observed requires an observer. The subjective and objective always and only coexist and therewith demonstrate"

Physics tends to think of 'complementarity' (discovered half a century ago) and the latter's nonmirror-imaged complementation (discovered only twenty years ago) as being the interrelationship characteristics of two separate entities. However, the always-and-only coexistent, non-mirror-imaged complementations also may coexist with inseparable plural-unity.
"Goldy finds she can interconnect the three mid-edge points of a triangle which subdivides the big triangle into four similar smaller triangles and can fold the three corner triangles along their connecting lines to produce two different tetrahedra, because folding the corner triangles under or over produces either a white tetrahedron with a black inside or a black tetrahedron with a white inside. Since the inside of the tetrahedron is concave and the outside is convex, there are two very real and separate tetrahedra in evidence, whose eight (four white, four black) faces have been evolved from only four externally viewable triangles, which four were in turn evolved from one (unity-is-plural) triangle.

Since each of the two tetrahedra can turn themselves inside out (as their respective three triangular corners rotate around the central triangle's three edge hinges-- thus to open like a three-petalled flowerbud), each tetrahedron can be opened in four such flowerbud ways, with three triangular petals around each of their four respective triangular flower-receptacle base faces. These four separate cases of inside-outing transformability permit the production of four separate and unique positive and four separate and unique negative tetrahedra all generated from the same unity-- each of which tetrahedra can rank as nature's simplest structural system. Therefore, each prime structural system in Universe has nine separate and unique states of existence-- four positive, four negative, plus one schematic unfolded nothingness state-- which Goldy reminds the bears constitutes the same schematic 'game' set up as that of physics' quantum mechanics with four positive and four negative quanta as we go from a central nothingness equilibrium to first one, then two, then three,"

"What Goldy finds equally exciting is to _ realize that each of the two tetrahedra combining to make the octahedron can consists of the eight unique combinations of the black and the white triangular faces and their four red, green, yellow and blue center dots. This means that an octahedron of eight black triangles, eight white and one of four white plus four black, and that the alternation of the four different color dots into all the possible combinations of eight produces four times 26-- which is the 104 possible combinations."

Geometry of Thinking:
"Synergetics is the geometry of thinking. How we think is epistemology and epistemology is modelable; which is to say that knowledge organizes itself geometrically, i.e., with models.
"Unity as two is inherent in life and the resulting model is tetrahedral, the conceptuality of which derives as follows:
-- life's inherent unity is two;
-- no otherness = no awareness;
-- life's awareness begins with otherness;
-- otherness is twoness;
-- this moment's awareness is different from previous awareness;
-- differentiations of time are observed directionally;
-- directions introduce vectors (lines);
-- two time lines demonstrate the observer and the observed;
-- the interconnection of two lines results in a tetrahedron;
-- sixfold interrelatedness is conceptual:

Geometry of Vectors:
"Assuming an energy Universe of curved paths generated by angular accelerations of varying intertensions, rates, and radii, resulting in orbits of high-frequency continuities, and separating time out of the compound dynamic system there remains only the relative attractions or repulsions expressed in relative vectorial terms in respect to the radius of any one interattracted couple of the set of all the radii expressed.
"In such a timeless and equilibrious instant the remainder of the system may be discovered as a vector construction of force interrelationships between centers. A geometry composed of a system of interrelated vectors may be discovered which represents the complete family of potential forces, proclivities, and proportional morphosis by octave introversion or extroversion."

"At the Naval Academy we learned about Galileo's parallelogram of forces. I liked the idea of vectors. I was excited by vectors because I felt that vectors did what the geometry teacher couldn't do with her 'purely abstract straight' lines. Vectors had not only unique direction in relation to other experiences, but also were discrete in their relative lengths, which were arrived at by multiplying their object's mass times their object's velocity. We didn't have to worry about the vector's lines going to infinity. There was no such inference in their deliberately developed construction. A vector went just so far and that was the end of it. So a vector constituted an experimentally satisfactory kind of a line.
"Furthermore, I could convert mass and velocity into heat, and I could ascertain the time dimension from the velocity, thus all the qualities and behavioral characteristics plus the environmental conditions of 'existence' which I had been seeking, were satisfactorily expressed as vectors. So I said, 'Might there not be a Geometry of Vectors?' -- and I remembered those equilength toothpicks of my kindergarten experimental exploration for logical structuring and the complex"

"I found his [Galileo's] vectorial diagram exciting. It suggested a comprehensive geometry consisting entirely of vectors. A vectorial line was a very nice kind of a line because it had a discrete length-- it didn't go on absurdly forever to the nowhere of two infinities-- in both directions as potential extensibilities of lines. It didn't have the 'time' to do so. It had a discrete amount of time, which time was a component factor of the vector's velocity.
"I wondered if nature might have a set of omnidirectionally operative vectors that represented all of our experiences. It is experiences that we are dealing with in nature. Nature and Universe are alike the aggregate of all experience. Couldn't I then find vectors that represented any and every unique experience? Vectors are like spears. I could massage any object into a spear shape, point and thrust-throw it in a discrete direction. I intuitively liked those directional vector 'spears.' I felt that they tended at least to embody all the energetic qualities of represented experiences. That thinking-feeling, however, was only an intuition and not an accomplished, mathematically coordinate, generalized experience system."

"I felt that it would be possible, for instance, when I could make a model of two ships running in to each other, where I took each of the ships. . . and I simply put it into compression, and I make it into a great long sphere, and it weighed and had the same density as the other sphere, and it would have a certain length and I saw that I could make a model out of these interesting things.
"I thought vectors were extremely realistic. In fact, I liked the idea then of a geometry which would be made up entirely of vectors instead of a geometry made up of some hypothetical kinds of patterns. In other words, they could be made of vectors of actions. They were our experiences of basic phenomena, so I said wouldn't it be interesting if we had no geometry unless there were vectors, because the vectors are real experiences, and because the vectors had inherent velocity and mass. Velocity is the complementarity of time and space. Time and space are simply functions of velocity. Velocity is really the reality. You can examine the time or space increment, but they are never independent of one another. They were unified as velocity. I said because it had"

Geosocial Revolution:
"A half century of subconsciously developing world revolution is now crossing the threshold into human consciousness and ultimate popular support. The heretofore subconscious world revolution may well become the conscious focus of effort of the International Cooperation Year.
"The IGY-1965 itself has been indirectly occasioned by the subconsciously occurring techno-scientific revolution and its myriad of separate world- around transformations of human ecology.
"The unheralded human ecology transformations have developed only as inadvertent, unanticipated interactions of individually undertaken uncoordinated inventions.
"The independent physical environment reforming inventions have integrated, figuratively speaking, as streamliningly divided, double-decked, banked, and cloverleafed lifeways of human behaviors. These lifeways permit ever increasing numbers of humans to survive logically and sense-satisfyingly without mutually frustrating interferences.

Geosocial Revolution:
"There are two main classes of inventions: those which increase and those which decrease the degrees of freedoms. Because men are born immobilized there are few invention opportunities for his immobilization. These are prisons, traps, straightjackets, handcuffs, and caskets. On the other hand there are an infinity of opportunities to invent man's increased mobilization-- all the way up to the speed of light, 186,000 mps., and in all directions. Means-of-increased-freedom inventing is irreversible.
"Inventions occur when individuals, frustrated by circumstance, eschew negative blaming and undertake positive physical environment reforms rather than abstract human reforms. The latter depend precariously only upon moral, ethical, and legal codes which are enforceable only by negative penalties.
"The silent preoccupations of the artist-scientist, whose inventions subsequently permit mankind to realize his innate potentials without interference with others are in marked contrast to political behaviorisms. Political theories apparently assume that there is no alternative to the word,"

Geosocial Revolution:

"Both professional and amateur spokesmen for society apparently assume that the political battles will persist until man annihilates himself. The only considered alternative, happy or unhappy according to the individual's viewpoint, is that one bias or another will gain sufficient advantage to be able to dictate the terms of mankind's reprieve from total extinction. We don't agree. We think there is a third eventuality wherein the political chaos will fade out in ways entirely unpremeditated by political man as the invention order looms in. Geosocial revolution explores the possibility that the non-political surprise has already occurred and will soon be increasingly visible to all."

Specific parts of a pattern, the local designs, can be derived from the general design, the comprehensive scheme. The reverse, however, is not true; in nature, society, and industrial complexes, wholes express more than the simple effect resulting from the sum of their respective parts."

The definition of a sphere by the Greeks was 'a surface equidistant in all directions from a point.' Now if you have a surface equidistant in all directions from a point it couldn't have a hole in it. If it had a hole in it the distance would not be equidistant because the surface would start to turn inwardly and the radius would not be the same. To say then that you have a surface equidistant in all directions from a point is considered some kind of a solid surface. A sphere then would be a subdivision of universe in which part of the universe would be inside and part outside and no communication between the two because there are no holes in it. In other words, the Greek definition of a sphere was the definition of the first perpetual motion machine or local system that was adequate in itself. It didn't need any of the rest of the universe. All experiments in physics has shown energy losses in systems and energy intakes and so there would have to be some holes in the system for them to pass through. Therefore we discover we have to give up the concept of the sphere as defined by the Greeks and all we can say is that

God:
"The only-intellectually-discoverable, comprehensive integrity of omni-everywhere-and-everywhen, complexly intertransforming Universe is omnigoverned by the mathematically-incisive, generalized principles. It is to that comprehensive intellectual integrity and wisdom to which I refer when using the abstract word 'God.' God designs us and our Scenario Universe.
"The self-discipline involves commitment only to God: all humanity and all the experimentally-demonstrable, mathematically generalized principles thus far discovered by humans and all the special case truths as we progressively discover them."

Index Entry
Little man on little Planet Earth evoking words to describe his experiences, intuiting ever and anon the greater integrity, struggles to form a word to manifest his awareness of the greater integrity. His lips can express, his throat and lungs can produce, in the limited atmosphere of Planet Earth, he may make a sound like g o d . . . which is obviously inadequate to identify his inherent atunement to eternal complex integrity. The little humans on little Earth, overwhelmed these millions of years with the power of the bigger over the lesser (muscles) have spontaneously identified the cosmic integrity with the local terrestrial experience. The conditioned reflex feedbacks have introduced enormous confusion of approximate indentification, fusing the local physical muscular authority with the eternal complex integrity, whose absolute generalizability can never be locked into or described as a special case.

"We tend to think always in superficials: saying that you are your skin. But I've just been sitting here peeling off skin all the time, throwing it away. It isn't me. But we still assume so. So many of the things we think of as bad and hard and cruel may not be so in the end. Just coming out of the womb, There's a river flowing into the ocean and there are back eddies all over. But I don't call that evil. We are in a very big course. I don't think anything that's gone before really has to happen again. But there are quite clearly rates of change.

Gravitational Constant:
"Pondering on Einstein's adopted last problem of the Unified Field Theory, in which he sought to identify and explain the mathematical differentiations between electromagnetics and gravity: the two prime attractive forces of universe. In that connection, recalling my conclusion that gravity operates in spherical embracement-- and not by direct radial vectors-- and recalling that electromagnetism follows the high tension convex surfaces, possibly the great circle trunk system of railroad tracks, I found myself pondering, surprisingly, over the fact that the vector equilibrium, which identifies the gravitational behaviors, and the icosahedron which identifies the electron behaviors of electromagnetics, discloses 25 great circles for the vector equilibrium in respect to its 24 external vector edges, and the icosahedron discloses 31 great circles in respect to its 30 external vector edges.
"In each case there is an excess of one great circle over the edge vectors. Recalling that the vector edges of the vector equilibrium exactly equal the radial explosive forces, while the icosahedron's 30 external edges are

Since Einstein's discovery of relativity, E=mc², the physicists have been preoccupied with the significance of the radiational constant-- 186,00 m.p.s. as the top speed of radiation. But physicists since then seem to have paid very little attention to the complementary concept of the gravitational constant-- the top speed of gravity, which is just as significant as the radiational constant.

Secondly, as a cosmic generalization of the acceleration of Galileo's Earthward falling bodies, Newton discovered the second-power mathematical rate of interattractiveness gain occurring with each half of the intervening distance of any two given celestial bodies; whereby it was shown that there are interrelationship behaviors manifest in physical Universe that are in no wise indicated to be operative by any or all of the unique geometrical or physical characteristics of any one of the mass-interattracted bodies when considered only separately; and since,
(g) Synergy means behavior of whole systems unpredicted by the integral characteristics of any of the system's separate parts, it has come to pass that it has been synergetically proven that Copernicus was 'right on,' for the ever exponentially increasing interattractiveness of bodies freed of other external restraints to come ever closer together, must induce their ultimate huddling together in the most economical, volume-to-enclosing-surface manner, which as the number of converging bodies increases is that of the spherical conformation."

"This would also occasion the spherically trending series of intertransforming events that would take place as two independent large spherical masses, such as two asteroids, fell into one another and their multitudinous individual atoms began to sort themselves into most economical interarray. Interestingly enough, this is the opposite of what transpires with biological cell dichotomy.
"Electromagnetic radiant energy is entropic; gravitational energy is syntropic.
"Speaking mathematically, the surface area growth is always at a second-power rate of increase in respect to the linear dimension's rate of increase; wherefore, as Newton's linear distance apart was measured arithmetically, we can understand systematically why the relative interattraction of the bodies varies as the second power, which represented their relative surface rates of change, but this does not explain why there is any interattraction. Interattraction is eternally mysterious."

"I met an old friend yesterday, Cyril Stanley Smith. I first knew him in 1950 when he was the director of the Institute for the Study of Metals at the University of Chicago. It was in his institute that the first Enrico Fermi atomic pile was assembled, erected, and operated. Cyril Smith was one of the original Manhattan Project scientists. For a number of subsequent years he has been professor of the History of Science at MIT. He is one of the world's great metallurgists.
"I discussed with him yesterday unique metallurgical techniques I had experienced in connection with producing my automobiles, bathrooms, and aeronautical structures. In producing these prototypes I always had occasion to take on metal craftsmen called 'hammer men.' The best hammer men have been Polish-Americans. They inherited their craft as the best of the early armor makers of Europe. I said to Cyril, 'I don't think any of those sheet metal workers ever think of what they are doing in the way you and I would think about what their work does to the atoms.' Cyril's said, 'You mean "in the ways the atoms accommodate their work."' I said, 'Yes, that's what I should have said.'

"The hammer men have learned that they can gather the metal together, that is hammer it thicker. Anybody can conceive of hammering metals thinner. Few would think spontaneously of hammering it thicker. The hammer men do, however, hammer it in such a way as to bulk it. They can start with a flat sheet of metal and hammer it thicker as you would knead dough together after it had been rolled out thin with a rolling pin. But you push the dough together horizontally with your hands. You do not pummel it vertically from above. The skilled sheet metal hammerers can do just that with metal, which amateurs would spontaneously assume to be illogical if not impossible.
(1) We can conceive of heating metal until it becomes liquid and flows together. Thus the blacksmith's heating of his horseshoes to a bright red, to a condition just short of melted, makes it easy for us to think of the cherry-red metal as being in a plastic or semimolten condition which permits the smith to smite it into any preferred shapes-- thicker or thinner. But the Polish hammer men hammer cold, hard sheet metal into any shape.

When a fourth ball bearing lodges in the nest formed between and atop the first three, each of the four balls now touch three others simultaneously and produce a tetrahedron having a concave-faceted void within it. In this tetrahedral position, with four-dimensional symmetry of association, they are in circumferential closest packing. Having no mutual nuclear sphere they are only inter-circumferentially mass-interattracted and cohered: i.e., gravity alone coheres them but gravity is hereby seen experimentally to be exclusively in circumferential interbonding.
With further spherical atom additions to the initial tetrahedral aggregate, the outermost balls tend to roll coherently around into asymmetrical closest packing collections until they are once more symmetrically interstabilized with twelve closest packed around one, and as yet exerting their exclusively intercircumferential interattractiveness, bound circumferentially together by four symmetrically interacting circular bands; whereby each of the 12 surrounding spheres has four immediately adjacent circumferential shell spheres interattracting them circumferentially while there is only one central nuclear ball

Here we have clarification of the Copernican 'nostalgia' or synergetic proclivity of the circumferentially arrayed spheres to associate symmetrically around the nucleus sphere or the nucleus void which, as either configuration-- the vector equilibrium or the icosahedron--rotates dynamically producing a spherical surface. But the modus operandi of four symmetrically intertriangulated gravitational hoops (in the case of the vector equilibrium) and the six (in the icosahedron) are lucidly manifest. If we took out the central ball, or if it shrinks in diameter, we will discover synergetics' jitterbug model showing that the twelve circumferential spheres will closest pack circumferentially until each of the twelve circumferentially arrayed balls is tangent to five surrounding balls and thus altogether form the Platonic icosahedron.
"Cyril agreed with me that the hammer men probably didn't think about these properties of atoms. The fact is that the spheres don't actually touch each other. They are held together only mass-interattractively and their electron paths are, of course, at distances from their atomic nuclei equivalent relatively to"

We now have another impressive kind of second-power relationship, the word 'second-power' having something to do with radials and surfaces. Regarding gravity, Newton discovered a certain relationship of masses, but unfortunately his relationship is stated in a negative way. He talks about an inverse ratio. The word inverse ratio makes it very difficult conceptually. He talks about not what it is, attraction, i.e. coming towardness, but about something else, i.e., repulsion, or raison d'etre of going awayness-- the opposite of what he is attempting to explain.
It could have been stated that the gravitational relationship is in terms of the second power of the relative distance between the given masses as stated in the terms of the radius of one of the masses. That is the way we would say it today. He could have said, quite simply, 'Every time the distance between the bodies is halved, the attraction is fourfolded.'
We find that the gravitational law is in terms of the second power of radius, which terms are convertible into Einstein's" mass conversion into radiation in terms of the second power of the radius.

Graviv is a principle of synchronous coordination of dynamic complexvties. Gravity can break a dish carelessly relinquished to its force. Principles may remain carelessly or ignorantly unheeded, or uncomprehended, and the dynamic effects may thus intrude upon man's unrealistic preoccupations to be misapprehended as 'destruction' or 'chaos.'
'If, however, gravity is recognized as a principle, and its behavior and rates are measured, then its enormous force may be put systematically to work to augment man's as yet meager degree of conscious advantage over evolutionary process and environment. Thus great hydroelectric dams as complex products of intellectual comprehension of principles converted to physical system, operate under routine guidance of a dozen men to valve this principle of cosmic force to provide 20 million inanimate energy slaves to serve an Earth-huddled city of a millon humans.

"What we wanted to do in making tension members is to get longer and longer and less and less section for a given strength as a reason for increasing the bridges. That curve is going up very, very rapidly as every metallurgist knows. However, I saw we were tending towards infinite length and no section at all, so I said back in 1927 is that a silly question that we are working towards great length with no section at all? Of course, in order to be able to see this, we will have to deal in big patterns of the universe because these are big patterns that I'm talking about. Let's look at just the Earth and the Moon, and quite clearly, they are cohering in tension, beautifully, gravitationally, and yet you can fly an airplane right through the point, the center of gravities with no trouble at all. I saw here in the heavens we were demonstrating over and over again great length with no section at all. . .

"The principle of leverage is employed in shears, nutcrackers, and pliers. The longer the lever arms, the more powerful the pressure applied between the internal central angles of the nutcracker's lever arms. We can make an illuminating model of our planet Earth if we think of it as a spherical bundle of nutcrackers with all their fulcrums at the center of the sphere and all the radii of the sphere acting as the lever arms of the pincers. The whole bunch of pincers have a common universal fulcrum at the common center. The farther out we go on the radial lever arms, the less effort is required to squeeze the ends together to exert nutcracking pressure at the center. If we go around the sphere-embracing circumference progressively tying up the ends of the levers together, we find that it takes very little, local, surface effort tensively between any two surface points to build up excruciatingly powerful, central-compression conditions. The bigger the model, the easier it is to tie it up; ever more delicate an exterior web will hold it together.

"Identifying the surface-angle chordinos with gravity, we comprehend why it is that as we get deeper and deeper, we see that the increasing gravitational-compression effect is due to the circumferential containment. The external containment web is always getting hold of the outermost ends of the centrally pinching levers. With this leverage effect, the farther out you go, the more advantage you have and the more powerful work you can do with that lever. Leverage effectiveness increases toward the center, ergo the increasing pressure that we identify with gravity. But it has this circumferential aspect.

There is a tendency to misinterpret the increasing pressures occurring inwardly of Earth as 'deadweight,' i.e., only as a radiationally-inward force, but it must be realized that the 'weight' is omnidirectional compression. The gravitational intermass-attraction is progressively augmented, as we go radially outward, by the circumferential mass-interattraction of the relative abundance of elemental atoms, which increases at the second-power rate of the radial-distance outwardly from the Earth's center; and as the pressures bring about ever closer presence of the atoms to one another, there is also an additional second-power exponential gain which results in r² varying as proximity² = P⁴, where P = relative compressive force. The surface chordal angle magnitudes multiplied by radius to the second power produce the relative magnitude of network leverage-advantage resulting in the relative increase in pressure as you go inward toward Earth's center. This is exciting because we now comprehend that gravity is a circumferentially operative force and not a radial force, with precession bringing about the 90-degreeness.

← Gravity: Circumferential Leverage (3) | Gravity ≠ Implosion →
RBF Definitions
"Remembering Newton's law of gravity, wherein the relative interattractions are directly proportional to the product of the masses increased by the second power of the distances between the respective mass centers, we realize that doubling the size of a sphere brings about an eightfold multiplication of the circumferential mass-interattraction. In effect, we have a network of chordal cables tensively intertriangulating the progressively outmost ends of the spherical nutcracker bundle with circumferential turnbuckles continually tightening the tensional surface-triangulated network. This means that the pressures being exerted internally are proportional to the fourth power of the relative radial depth inward of Earth's surface.
"The surface-embrace leverage-advantage of the sphere operating at the fourth power can always overmatch the total volumetric gaining rate as only the third power of radial (frequency), linear gain, as the second-power interproximity attractiveness is further multiplied by the second-power, radial-lever-arm, advantage gains."

The larger the phenomenon that it embraces, the more leverage effect it has because you simply tighten the screws and the bands at the ends of the lever. This is why the pressures increase as you go into the Earth; they continually increase the further in you go due to the leverage effect of the embracement."

Great Circle:
"Events are forced to bounce in spherically contained circles because they seek the largest possible interior circumference patterns. All great circles cross each other twice. Three or more noncongruent great circles are automatically inter-self-triangulating in their repetitive searching for the 'most comfortable' interactions which always resolve their three-way-great-circle pattern-ing into regular spherical icosahedra, octahedra, or tetrahedra."

A triangle on the surface of the icosahedron folds itself up, becomes a tetrahedron, and plunges deeply down into the congruent central angles; void of the icosahedron (see section \hrefhttps://www.buckyverse.org/en/synergetics/content/chapters/900-modelability#section-905.47905.47)."

Greater Intellect:
"When I first determined that I should do my own thinking I decided I was going to go entirely on the basis of experimental evidence. And that kind of evidence is a very large resource as I found that we can also draw on the experiences of our friends; through our reliable friends we can accent much of the data of science as part of our experience inventory.
"I use the word belief to describe men accepting the explanations of physical phenomena without experimental evidence to confirm them. So I gave up all my beliefs--clearing my deck of any of them.
"But possibly the majority of human beings are deeply moved by the knowledge of some greater power operative in our Universe.... You do have experiences that force you to assume that a greater intellect is operating than that of humans. I am forced to conclude that we do.

Grid Basis: Multipolygonality of Great Circle Grids:
"It is a matter of Dymaxion cartographic strategy that: the greater the number of great circle polygonal zones employed in the transformation, the less the spherical excess to be subsidingly concentrated within each zonal surface, and therefore the less the residual distortion distributed to each of the planar mosaic aspects of the whole world's reassembled surface when arrayed in one continuous flat 'skin.'"
The projective transformation "represents the only method by which the whole world data can be transferred from the spherical to the planar within an all great circle grid triangularly, quadrangularly, multipolygonally or all two or three together."
"Because of a hemisphere's polar symmetry to its opposite polar hemisphere the total inventory of great circle grid triangles in the comprehensive world grid is always even in number, therefore adjacent triangles may always be associated in total or partial quadrangular pattern-phases without increase in vertex count."

It is a discovery of synergetics that there are no other spherical triangular grid bases other than the above."

Gross World Product Sequence:
"The capital worth in tools and other resources of all the nations of the Earth in 1972 is... estimated to be 75 trillion U.S. dollars, which last year yielded the annual world income of 3.6 trillion. Heartbeat magnitudes give us an idea of the nonsense characterizing the reflexing of human brains when talking 'dollars'. As the 75 trillion worth of the world's organized wealth-regenerating capacity is just about the same number as the number of heartbeats ago of the earliest known humans on Earth-- 2.5 million years ago-- it suggest that during each one-second heartbeat of that time humans were making and 'saving' $1 net.
"They were, in fact, saving memories of experiences, which ever multiply, from which accumulate metaphysical know-how that has never been entered into the ledgers of world-wealth accounting. Those pages are only preoccupied with sovereignty-guaranteed physical-property equities of socialist or capitalist governments and the economic enterprises that they respectively foster. GNP stands for gross national product annually. GWP stands for gross world product annually, the GWP of 1972 estimated at $3.6 trillion. The world's population of 1972 was 3-2/3 billion humans. A trillion is 1000 billion;"
Gross World Product Sequence (2)
← Gross World Product Sequence (1) | Gross World Product Sequence (3) →
RBF Definitions
"therefore, the world's 1972 GWP of 3.6 trillion meant an average income for each world human of 1000. However, the production was not evenly distributed, as is well known, and half the world's people averaged an income of $2000 each, while the other half averaged $100 each. In 1810, just before industrialization began in the United States, the annual individual income was less than $100-annual-income-purchasing capability of the 1972 world's industrial as-yet-have-nots. The difference is the spread of the new method of survival by industrial rather than by farm and craft means. The curve of this rising number of highly advantaged humans shows less than 1 per cent benefited haves as of 1900, 4 per cent haves as of the entry into World War I, and 20 per cent haves as of entry into World War II. In 1972 we went through the fifty percent haveness point. Nineteen hundred and seventy-three opens the new chapter of human history wherein, for the first time, the majority of humanity are haves. For the 2.5 million years of man's known presence on Earth, a majority of 99 percent were have-nots subsisting at or below the living standards of the half of humanity who in 1972 received only $100 of the gross world product. Nineteen hundred and seventy-two was history's"

"Up to 1972 the ever-increasing irritation of the majority of human have-nots continually multiplied the probability of world revolution. Up to 1972 this could have brought holocaust so devastating as to preclude the further existence of of any human beings on our planet at any standard of living. There is now the possibility that the majority of humans who are now haves will realize increasingly that they cannot enjoy their haveness while the dismay and irritability of the have-nots persist. The haves will come to understand that it is now highly feasible for the first time in history to accelerate the realization of 100 per cent haveness-- this realization to be reached at the earliest by 1985, a time when the majority of all present humanity will still be alive and young enough to enjoy the new concept-- by then the established norm-- of human beings as cosmically designed to be successful in the Universe, even as are the chemical elements and the principles of radiation and gravity."

Grow-a-dome
Index Entry
The idea of the grow-a-dome is one that I've had around for many, many years. The idea is to plant and grow a geodesic trellis dome of interwoven live bamboo. Then you let it get overgrown with rather hardy vines like wisteria so that it will survive on the bamboo framework even if the original bamboo dies. And on the inside you just put a dacron tent lining--just as in any of the standard trade-fair domes. . . . This would be very suitable throughout southeast Asia where they might function also like hostels, where people could put up their own tents inside the grow-a-dome.

He would open up his daily sessions with them by 33 toasts to all the types of idiots, and by this time everybody was pretty well plastered and then they'd go to work writing his life history. He had beautiful expressions. 'Shovelling out the manure' and so forth. And very sort of easily appealing, talking about the different centers of man and so on.

Gusset:
"Since cubes make such poor structures, the only way that men are able to stabilize the cubical buildings they do build is by going to the corners where the members come together at 90 degrees and putting in little triangular gusset-plate reinforcements. Sometimes this vertexial triangulation of quadrangular buildings is done with a whole lot of nails, but in a big steel building it is done by putting in triangular patterns by riveting or welding in the gusseting. The triangular steel gussets at the corners of interstices of steel structures must withstand the prying action of the lever arm of the full length of the beam to which each gusset is attached. The builders are able to make the building 'stand' because of the excessive use of steel and massive inertia but not because the building is really well designed."

"If we draw a line diagonally from corner to corner on each of the six faces of a cube, we find that these six lines turn out to be the outlines of a tetrahedron. These hidden tetrahedra in 'solid' cubes make the cube stand up. Let us now reconsider the triangular gusset plates in the corners of the cubical buildings of steel, fighting the long lever beams attached to them. Quite clearly, if we made the triangular gusset plates a little larger they would be more effective in opposing the beam's leverage against them. If we increase the size of the gusset triangles progressively they ultimately become the diagonals of the quadrangular openings of the buildings and correspond to the six edges of the tetrahedra hidden in the cubical or quadrangular building scheme"
