Ice:

"Children can learn from their remembered observation of the rotational progression of angles that the hour and minute hands of a clock have moved; that the tree and the vine have grown; and that the pond's top has frozen into ice that surprisingly floats--whereas getting colder means getting denser and heavier per given volume, which would suggest that ice should sink to the pond's bottom.

"But the crystallization of water forms a 'space frame' whose members do not fill allspace, and whose vacated space embraces and incorporates oxygen from the atmosphere--which makes ice lighter than water. The crystallization of water takes up more room than does the water in its liquid nonform condition. Crystallization is structurally and vectorially linear; it is not allspace-filling. Crystalline structurings are interspersed by additional atmospheric molecules occupying more volume (ergo having less mass); the process of crystallization cracks open its closed containers. If ice did not float, if ice sank to the bottom, life would have long since disappeared from Planet Earth."

Iceberg: Rate of Melting:

"The energy conservation of a closed local system improves twofold each time the system's linear dimensions are doubled. This principle is demonstrated in stars and in icebergs. Icebergs can melt only as fast as they can import heat from their surrounding environment of air and ocean through the surface of the iceberg. The larger the iceberg, the lower the ratio of surface area to its volume or mass. However, as icebergs melt, their mass gets smaller at a mathematical velocity of the third power while their surface area decreases only at a velocity of the second power. This is to say the volume decreases much more rapidly than does the surface area, so, as icebergs get smaller the amount of surface area for each unit of volume of its interior mass increases at an accelerating rate.

"Therefore, icebergs melt faster and faster and when the final piece of ice dwindles to pea size it can be seen by the human eye to accelerate to extinction. Due to the principle of energy conservation improvement with size, the larger the domed-over city, the more stable its atmospheric conditions become and at ever-decreasing cost per unit of volume."

Iceland:

"One hundred architects had invited me to Iceland. They Have a population of a quarter million, 70 percent of whom live in Reykjavik. And their parliament has a wonderful name-- it's called the 'Thing.' With all their glaciers and volcanoes they live with both natural extremes and most of the rest of the world has really passed them by. The people are beautiful; the men have that rough Veeking look, but with features like the Scots. They have the second highest per capita wealth. Their men live to 72 and their women to 74.... They just seem to have been isolated by the Almighty.

"And they have the best standard of living; nothing at all showy, but every comfort that doesn't show. And they just call themselves by first names, or it might be Erik Erkson, but that would be just for that one person and not a family name.

"Iceland was completely bypassed by all the east-westing of the ocean trade. They were the last to take on Christianity and so they started out as Lutherans, but it really hasn't caught on with them and they are reverting to paganism. We talked about how you find god yourself. No more secondhand god--that is the essence of the Iceland program."

The icosahedron encloses the most volume with the least energy investment as work or matter. Universal limits of eternal abstract principles are indestructible. The discontinuous-compression, continuous tension icosahedral structures are utterly indestructible pattern integrities. They are employed as the protein shells of almost all the viruses. In principle, they are probably involved in the 20 enzymes.

If we take the vector equilibrium with the center ball as the nucleus we can make a model of the 12 balls around one and put rubber bands between their centers. It is very easy to make a necklace of rubber bands of four great circles around together, the four great circles being the four great planes of the tetrahedron that went through the common center of vector equilibrium. When we have rubber bands it is possible to stretch the rubber band and pull the center ball out. We must remember that the vector equilibrium has six square faces and eight triangular faces. When we pull the center ball out these six square faces immediately rotate in such a manner that each of them becomes a diamond. Every one of the square faces become a diamond and the whole system becomes the icosahedron.

The balls simply rotate and contract a little. The center ball was keeping them from packing and so there is a little more compactibility when the center ball goes out.

Now we see omni-triangulation.and no more squares.

"If the icosahedron develops a further outward shell it will have to discard its internal shell because the central angles of the icosahedron will not allow of two or more closest-packed omnitriangulated concentric shells to be constructed. Only one closest packed shell is permitted. Considered internally, the icosahedron cannot accommodate even one uniradius, tangentially contiguous interior or nuclear sphere of equal radius to those of its closest packed uniradius outer shell."

Contraction from Single-and-Outside-layer of VE:

"There is something to warn you about. If I made the five layers of the vector equilibrium, you could not have the condition I have spoken about of becoming icosahedron. You could not have two adjacent layers of vector equilibriums and then have them collapse and become the icosahedron. . . . I could take any single layer of the vector equilibrium and if there is nothing inside it to push it outwardly, it will collapse into becoming the icosahedron. But if there are two layers, one inside the other, the radius contracts when that occurs, and these two layers will not roll on each other. The gears block each other. So you can only have this contraction in the vector equilibrium in a single layer and it has to be the outside layer remote from other layers.

"For this reason we begin to be suspicious about the icosahedron's condition of 18.63 and its relation to the electron-- we begin to be suspicious that we have the electron kind of shells going in the icosahedron, which are remote from the nucleus group and are therefore not frustrated from contracting in that condition."

Here we have the tetrahedron as unity, volumetrically. The octahedron has a volume of four, the cube has a volume of three, and the vector equilibrium has a volume of 20. But the icosahedron has a strange number: 18.51. This is a very interesting number because the ratio of the mass of an electron to its neutron is 1:18.185. It's the same fraction. But when you compound that 18.51 with the volume of what we call a vector-edged cube, which has a volume of 8.49, the two together give you a whole number 27, which is a second-power number and seems very interesting. So the whole thing comes out rational by combining two fractions and makes the effect sum totally rational." - Cite RBF to Verner Smythe, NYC, Reel 2, p.3, 11 Mar'69

That is to say, you will find the icosa will fit inside your first development and we might then say that successive enclosures of primary forms (vector equilibrium, icosahedron, octahedron, tetrahedron) constitute inside-outing waves. Just as the tetrahedron is really the octahedron's inside-obverse wave.

Our scenario Universe does not have shape nor is there relation to any static frame. There is an ideal which is eternal and inherently complex, which complexity is accompanied by the ideal transformability which synergetics elucidates."

"The episodes have shape, but the shape is always mildly asymmetrical and continually transforming. There is conceptual shape in the ideal, i.e., the ideal tetrahedron, but no size, no time."

Ignorance:

"... Man's participation in the moderate success of his complex relationship to Universe has of necessity been accomplished by a variety of indirectly-arrived-at advantages, only ignorantly induced, and conversely reciprocal to the original acts of ignorance. He backs into his future.

"Ignorance hither-and-yons impulsively until brought up short at unpredictable periods by unpredictable push-pull limits. It is slowly becoming evidenced that, though man had been ignorant of the factors governing his successful survival as a species, the reciprocal positive functions governing the periodic alternations which net a successfully steered course may be adduced, only, however, by proper documentation and realistic inversion of the negative evaluations and predilections of ignorance.

"Vanity and superstition constitute the plus and minus springs of ignorance, the expansive and contractive 'raison d'etre' of boast and fear. The boasts and fears of ignorance may be maintained spontaneously only when there is no obviously periodic contradiction in physical experience.

Ignorance:

"Abandoning vain boastm, the competent but fog-shrouded navigator learned by experience to blow his horn to generate echoes from unseen headlands and thus to position himself and dissipate fears of danger. Ignorance is the inherently diminishing negative residue, the obscuring mist of the receding mental wilderness progressively dissipated by intellect, the inherent positive of Universe that may by inference of the record turn every adversity to ultimate advantage. . .

"Ignorance may only be dissipated as intellect traits by physical initiative in design realizations of anticipated periodic functions, designed to disclose coincidence with the periodic contradictions forcefully experienced, and thus potentially further revealing in principle. Thus, the designed experiment is resolvable, eventually, into general behavior laws of the energetic Universe, whose interactions in turn become subject to increasingly reliable predictions by man."

RBF Definitions

The word is immoral rather than sinning. A man works hard and gets promoted and suddenly he finds that his new job carries with it the need to really compromise and let something go by. He's turning out goods that will work for a month. It's quite long before he discovers that somebody has already arranged to make more profit by cutting down the quality. And he's just an executive; and it's months before he discovers all these production tricks. So the immorality part is the compromise, and not resigning or making a fuss. It's getting caught in the circle. It's an elusive kind of thing: that built-in immorality of the corporation."

The vector equilibrium is of the greatest importance to all of us because all the nuclear tendencies to implosion and explosion are reversible and always in exact balance. The radials and the circumferentials are in balance. But the important thing is that the radials which, if they are outwardly pushing, would tend to explode are always frustrated by the tensile finiteness of the circumferential vectors which close together in an orderly manner to cohere the disorderly sundering. When the radial vectors are tensilely contractive and separately implosive, they are always prevented from doing so by the finitely closing pushers or compressors of the circumferential set of vectors.

Impossible: Only the Impossible Happens:

"When Anne and I were living at 6 Burns Street rent controls

were still in effect and there was no way the landlord could

raise the rent, but there was also no way we could get a new

icebox. They always maintained the icebox poorly, hoping we

would move away; and if we made any improvements to the icebox

our landlord said he would own them.

"Shoji had started up the icebox because we were expected

back soon and he wanted us to have ice ready. When the icebox

burnt up it fell into the apartment of our neighbors below.

We never met them but they were always for the most obnoxious

political candidates--according to the posters on their door--

it was unpleasant even though I was apolitical. Sometimes

when I was writing I would pace the floor till 4 a.m. I was

quiet but they would knock on the ceiling anyway; we clearly

didn't like each other and never met.

"When we were living in Forest Hills, at 6 Jurns Street, once Shoji was staying in the apartment when Anne and I were away. We had disconnected the icebox and put the furniture in the middle of the room for the walls to be painted. The day before Anne and I were due back from New Orleans, Shoji plugged the old GE- with the coils on the top- back in, and left. The next day we were stopped by a Louisiana trooper as Bill Parkhurst had called the police to get word to us that our apartment had had a big fire. The icebox caught on fire and fell into the apartment below; the rest of the apartment was in fair shape with smoke damage to my papers, but the insurance company granted a total loss. The people down stairs always complained anyway and banged on the ceiling whenever I worked late.

"Months later I was visiting Allegra in Los Angeles and went to Bullock's to get her a nice watch for christmas. I told the sales clerk-- a very nice little lady-- to call the floor manager to approve my check. She said she could approve the check, but I answered that she didn't understand; this check was from out of town, from Forest Hills, Long Island. She said why she and her husband lived in Forest Hills for years, but the only reason they left and came to the west coast was the awful people"

There are no specific directions or localities in Universe which may be opposingly designated as UP or DOWN. In their place we must use the words OUT and IN. We move in towards various individual masses or we move out from them. But the words in and out are not mirror-imaged opposites. In is in respect to individual experience foci. Out is common to all. In is discrete. Out is general. The in's are discontinuous. The out's are continuous. Out is nothingness, i.e. non-experience. Only the non-experience nothingness implies a continuum. The non-event continuum is the NOVENT.

In and out refer to focal centers of systems of local events of Universe only. 'In' is unique to individual systems. One 'out' is common to all systems and is omnidirectional in respect to any one system and Universe, being a plurality of continuities of local dynamical experiences, the direction out of Universe is not integrative as geometrically identifiable as it is permeative and comprehensive of experience.

The pulsing patterning has six consequences:

(1) the change in size wave frequency;

(2) the plurality of precessionally induced surface vertex-vortex rotations of the expansive-contractive pulsations acting as omni-non-polar vertex, alternately winding and unwinding, to alternately and symmetrically take in the slack of the contracting system or unwinding locally to permit symmetrical expansion;

(3) the inherent axial rotation of the whole system;

Increment:

"What we are doing is using a clock, which is an angular acceleration, and we say it went one minute, two minutes, and so forth-- these are linear increments. What we call size are some kind of linear increments which you could treat in terms of first and second power and you would not have a linear increment until the cycle was complete. We use some kind of a cycle. It may be a cycle of atomic oscillation. Or it could be a clock. But it is some kind of a cycle, and until the cycle is complete you don't have an increment."

Because of the experimentally demonstrable fact that the minimum complex of acts involved in measuring always alter that which is being measured, we accept Heisenberg's principle of inherent indeterminism which concedes that absolute exactitude is unattainable. It is also experimentally demonstrable that the relative degree of inexactitude of measurement to be tolerated at any one moment is progressively reducible.

"In view of the foregoing (a) indeterminism, and (b) reducible tolerance, and subject to further modifying inclusions, exclusions, rearrangements, and refinements, we may assume that all definitions are tentative."

And so I really felt that there were things that the individual could do, he really could take initiatives like that. And he could work on something that would not be needed for 50 years-- and no corporation would do that and no state would do that. And so I saw a great many things that were needed, exactly the ones that would be needed in 50 years and we'd really be in trouble if we didn't do it. And luckily it's almost 50 years ago that I started doing it. The reason that I'm really here with you is that the things I really did undertake nobody else has undertaken to do. I'm really coming into phase now because they were so far out from what were considered logical and practical and worth budgeting.

"So the strategy I was employing, and the tiny little capital you and I have, which is just our experience. Self-experience. Beautiful equipment and how it can be really be turned to the powerful advantage of the many."

Then, self-answering: 'The individual can take initiatives without anybody's permission.' Only individuals can think, and can look for the principles manifest in their experiences that others may be overlooking because they are too preoccupied with how to please some boss or with how to earn money, how to take care of today's bills. Only the individual disregards his spontaneous fears and commits himself

The latter depend precariously only upon moral, ethical, and legal codes which are enforceable only by negative penalties."

"If you were inventing a Universe where there were no things, where there were only events, always changing, continually reaching out or coming in, either gaining or losing, with continual transformation; and you invent all the chemical elements and have all their behaviors and all their isotopes; and you invent all the leverages and the frequencies and start playing the game of Universe... You get things going pretty well, and you have all these stars giving off energies that get picked up in certain ways. So you invent the planets where they get picked up. And there'll be new stars; and the old stars will be perhaps the beginnings of new planets.

"And then you get so you have more and more problems because this business gets more and more complicated. Quite clearly, experiences must multiply. So you have the Universe multiplying"

"We may define the individual as one way the game of Universe could have eventuated to date. Universe is the omnidirectional, omnifrequency game of chess in which with each turn of the play there are 12 vectorial degrees of freedom: six positive and six negative. This is a phenomenon of frequencies and periodi cities. Each individual is a complete game of Universe from beginning to end. This is why each of us individuals are so much alike and yet completely different, a unique and individual way of playing the game with eabh of the omnidirectional degrees of freedom. With the six positive and the six negative omnidirectional degrees-of-freedom moves to be made at each turn of the play the individual can move to any cosmic point that is not occupied and he can move back over the same points or move on to new ones.

Then a long time after the academy accepts in general that engineering begins to have this as part of their working data. Even a longer time before inventors have an atmosphere of logic that helps them to invent within the new terms. Then there's a long lag before the invention is taken on by industry. But once the invention starts to producing, then it alters the environment in a major way and there are all kinds of political adjustments. So that's why I said quite clearly, there's such a lag between an Einstein and Mrs. Murphy."

While man trends to increasing specialized function in anticipatory and positive occupations of production, he also trends to comprehensive function as consumer."

"Industry has been identified with people trying to make money rather than with people trying to make the world work. .... Humans are in the middle among nature's creatures; they have no integral equipment but can sense principles. Other biological species... various organisms' behaviors... all systems alter other systems: this is the essence of evolution.

"The organics take on more energy than the nonbiologicals; they alter the environment more and in discrete ways like the spider's web. The mine is part of the mole. The nest is part of the bird.

"Man is unique in his ability to alter the design of the artifacts. Tools are part of the human beings. But the human can only produce what nature permits him to produce. The relative crudity (95 percent) is part of the learning.

"It is very misinformative to refer to industrialization as in terms of profits. Profit is just taking the input from the many for the advantage of the few.... I shudder when I hear people say we must give up industrialization and go"

"Industrial authority... has recently shifted from major preoccupation with exploiting original resource to preoccupation with keeping the 'wheels' which they manage turning-- now that the original inventory of 'wheels,' that is tools in general, has been realized from our original resource. Though original-resource exploiters still have great power, that power will diminish as the mines now existing above grade, in highly concentrated use forms, yet in rapidly obsoleting original design, become the preponderant source of the annual need.

"Severe acceleration in the trend to increase of performance per pound of invested material now characterizes all world industry. With no important increase in the rate of annual receipt of original mines, the full array of mechanics and structure requisite to amplifying the industrial complex from its present service to approximately one-third of the world's population to serve all the world's population, may be accomplished by the scrap 'mined' from the progressively obsoleting structures and mechanics. World industrial management will be progressively dependent upon the comprehensive designer to accelerate the turning of his wheels by design"

"I published my curve of industrialization in 1951 in Harry Holtzmann's 'Transformation' magazine which showed that 1972 would be humanity's crisis year because prior to 1900 AD the ratio of havenots to haves had always been more than 99 to 1. This century has seen this historical ratio abruptly and continually altered-- in 1919 it was 94% havenots and 6% haves, in 1951 it was 70% havenots and 30% haves. My curve showed that after 1972 the majority of Earthian humans will be haves, with havenots disappearing altogether before 2000-- with my second 'most accelerated' curve showing total success could be attained by 1985.

"It is wonderful that you have committed 'AD' to celebrate this at New Year's day, 1973."

Industrialization: Successive Halving Time of National Industrialization:

"Three centuries ago industrialization gradually came to Europe, a continent that thought of itself as having a farming economy. It began with windmills and waterwheels, coupled with trains of gears. The inadvertent 'swords into plowshares' industrial trending increased enormously man's ability to control his local environment and to increase the human life-span. Europe took 200 years to industrialize. The United States, greatly aided by the knowledge already acquired in Europe, industrialized in only 100 years. Russia, after its great revolution of 1917, undertook industrialization with its series of five-year plans. When the great depression occurred in America and Europe, the Russians were able to contract with the great corporations in America to come to Russia and provide the know-how with which to build prototype factories. So Russia started industrialization at the highest level of American development, just as America had started at Europe's highest level. Russia industrialized in 50 years. Hence we have Europe, 200; the United States, 100; and Russia, 50. This successive halving of time to institute national industrialization made it possible for me to say in 1947 that China would indus-"

Industrialization: Successive Halving Time of National Industrialization:

"Industrialization has a very interesting pattern. As a new country begins to industrialize it does not copy what the older country did first. Even after World War II engineers thought that a new industrial country would have to copy every single thing in the United States that we did. But you will find that is not the way it goes. Japan did not start with the cloth-covered bi-plane of the earlier Americans. They started right in with the aluminum spitfire level. And China comes into industrialization starting right in without even having propeller airplanes. What took England 200 years to do was matched by the United States in 100 years, simply because we started in with the knowledge and the principles and a fresh start, whereas they had to keep adjusting the old machinery to keep it running. So the new fellow comes in at a great advantage. Russia industrialized in 50 years and it's very probable that China is going to industrialize in the extraordinary period of 25 years. This is what's going to really surprise the whole world. Somewhere around 1975-- as short as that-- China's going to be almost approaching affluence."
