RBF Definitions
"American labor fought a great and worthy battle to win the working man's share of the synergetic productivity of industry. Labor's battle proved doubly worthwhile because it inadvertently brought about mass consumption. Without mass consumption you cannot maintain mass production. You cannot have the mass production of industrialization without an original investment of vast capital effort of work and that original capital came first and long ago from serfdom or outright slavery. In order to bring industrialization to benefit comprehensively emancipated man, you must have mass purchasing power, which in due course will underwrite automation, which in turn will eventually produce so much wealth as to be able to free man's time for further education and research to increase the wealth long generated by unimpeded automation. American labor will not yield that unimpedement until it is clearly demonstrated that all men will prosper directly by doing so. American labor did bring about the vast purchasing power in industry, but in so doing it established all kinds of rules which inadvertently protected the obsolete inefficiencies of building."

Lag:

- Citation & context at Center, 21 Jan'75
Lags (1)
Index Entry
There is a lag when you actually capture it plus when you really understand.... Lags have to do with the fact that human beings have very limited motion spectrums so that they can't see the hour hand move; they don't see the minute hand; they only see the second hand. They don't see the flower growing. They don't see the child growing. And they don't see that the roots of that tree are going to break the sidewalk up three years from today.
If they don't see something in motion that's going to run into them, they don't get out of the way. And many things are happening in society where something is coming their way and their not getting out of the way.$$
I saw that we do have this beautiful capability in movie pictures to accelerate the rate of the frames. We can have slow motion and really analyze what things are like... or accelerated motion. And we can take all the speculative or actual data about world population over 2,000 to 10,000 years, where we run every minute as 100 years, or every second is a year, and then

"you can suddenly see the population. We made a movie like that so you can really see it flowing around and it gets you terribly excited when you realize-- like a bonfire-- that it's really coming at you.
" I saw that we can step up and step down; we run backwards and forwards to tend to familiarize yourself with what we really have been through, and really feel some of the momentums of enormous evolutionary events."

laissez-faire Process:
"The laissez-faire process and its one-generation-slower by-products means the accelerating reoccurrence of political crises after political crises, all apparently invoked by evolving nature to force us, through dilemma adopted expediences, to yield compromisingly inch by inch from our inertia of 'let well enough alone,' thus fortuitously establishing, under each emergency, further increments of technical advances until we have finally, grudgingly and ignorantly, acquired a level of technical efficiency adequate to provide high standard physical living for total man-- which was always subjectively implicit and objectively inevitable because of the presence of intellect in physical Universe."

Large Patterns:
"The early humans sensed and revered the greater pattern events of Universe as manifesting an ever and everywhere presence of a knowing, life-giving, supporting, and terminating competence vastly greater than that of humans. They saw themselves and all that they could see, including the Sun, Moon, and stars, as having only minuscule local parts in an organic whole whose shape and size transcended both the ranges of their vision and the scope of their imagining."

Index Entry
In February 1943 when LIFE brought out the dymaxion map, they were suspicious that I had perhaps 'just rediscovered' an earlier cartographic projection process. They brought in a Dr. Borgs from the State Department Map Division-- he was the head of the American geographers-- and he assured them that my map was just 'pure invention', which is to say that I just sort of 'fudged' it; anyway, he meant the term as a very derogatory appraisal and he concluded that I must be totally ignorant of the mathematics of cartography. (Ironically, his dismissal of my work served me in good stead as my patent attorney cited him as an authority for the map's originality when I applied for, and was granted, a patent for my dymaxion map.) LIFE's issue with the map was there first press run to go over two million and it was completely exhausted immediately. .... at the time there were two Australians passing through New York on some secret mission connected with the war: they were on the way to see Churchill and Luce wanted them to take him a copy of my map. When I took the map over to their hotel I showed them how to assemble it. I put it together

Large Patterns:
"with Australia in the middle and at the top. They were astonished because that's where Australia really is and they said that none of the other maps showed the world the way it really was. They said that's the way the world really looks, but I told them to assemble it for Churchill with England at the center....
"At about that time Henry Luce asked me out to dinner in Greenwich where he wanted me to show my map and talk about it to the guests. In the middle of my explanation he said that for the first time in his life he had found a man (me) who was his exact opposite. So I told him that was a compliment. Luce was certain that all big patterns were introduced by man. He correctly recognized-- but disassociated himself from-- my own view that large patterns are introduced by nature and only discovered by man.
"Just before the war Henry Luce once told me that the U.K. was sending its archives to Ottawa for safe-keeping. He told me this in great confidence because he said I didn't know the war was coming. I said of course I knew the war was coming;"

"Another time I had given a lecture in Haverford and I had a model of the Dymaxion map in nice big picture puzzle pieces. One of the professors took me home after the talk and asked me to show the map to his young children. They spontaneously started putting it together on the rug when the professor looked over their shoulders and said, 'No, no that's wrong you've got the world upside-down, dear.'.... Can you believe it?"

Man has had enough experience with his angers and his disconnects, and his invented national hates and their subsequently contrived reversals, to know how illogical he must often be, at any one given moment, because of the going mode of bias propaganda. He realizes that he has not been very happy when he has been excessive and destructive. Laws come entirely out of experience, but only those endure which are taken with the powerful intent to guarantee our mutually favorable evolution. Each individual has rights all of which must be coordinatively protected and realized without cost or inconvenience to others."

Leaders Can Yield to the Computer:
"No opposed politicians may ever yield to their adversary without a trial of relative strength. To yield prior to such a trial of strength is to be either a traitor or a funk. Trial of ultimate political power, in international Malthusian-Darwinian terms, always lead to war. For this reason political leaders avoid arbitration by third parties as subject to subtle corruptibility. But gradually society in general and its political leaders are beginning to yield mutually to computerized solutions of lethally vital disputes where the computer has been given the problem in the terms of the question: in which way do most sides profit the most?"

Leaders Can Yield to the Computer:
"You may very appropriately want to ask me how we are going to resolve the ever-acceleratingly dangerous impasse of world-opposed politicians and ideological dogmas. I answer, it will be resolved by the computer. Man has ever-increasing competence in the computer; witness his unconcerned landings as airtransport passengers come in for a landing in the combined invisibility of fog and night. While no politician or political system can ever afford to yield understandably and enthusiastically to their adversaries and oppressors, all politicians can and will yield enthusiastically to the computer's safe flight-controlling capabilities in bringing all of humanity in for a happy landing.
"So, planners, architects, and engineers take the initiative. Go to work, and above all co-operate and don't hold back on one another or try to gain at the expense of another. Any success in such lopsidedness will be increasingly short-lived. These are the synergetic rules that evolution is employing and trying to make clear to us. They are not man-made laws. They are the infinitely accommodative laws of the intellectual integrity governing Universe."

"Since man's fear conditioned reflexes prevent him from voluntarily freeing his spherical space ship from its success paralyzing sovereignties, we must look to the computers to clarify the ways in which success for all may be found. No politician can yield to another politician but all politicians can-- and eventually will-- yield to the complex problem solutions of the computers. First of those steps to be taken through complex computer analysis will be to stop humanity from trying futilely to compete with the machines as real wealth producers, and instead granting each unemployed human being lucrative fellowship to re-enter the educational processes and, where logical, to engagement in research and development of the doing more with less technologies."

Learning:
"It's really a very great world task to get life the information it needs in order to develop humanity's highest potentials; how to get the information it needs in the simplest, almost unself-consciously effective manner. Life with the information will do its own learning. It's not something you can give with a needle. But people have to learn. So how do you provide life with the information it needs to fulfill successfully humanity's function in Universe? I would not like to get up a system and say, 'I have a system,' and try to sell the system to people, but really to see everything we know we can do to help life get the information it needs.
"You don't necessarily have to go through all the grades of school that we usually do before you can start creating wealth. These things are fairly evident. Once human beings really begin to find out how powerful information really can be, they are suddenly able to master spherical trigonometry and make beautiful geodesic structures, and they are eager to make them. . . . If you get the right information to people when people want something. You can't get it to them if they don't want it. I never talk to people unless they ask me to talk to them,"

"I think that anything we want to do to help people has got to be something they ask for when they want it. The appetites of humanity for information are very closely linked up with other chromosome initiatives. . . Children ask extraordinarily beautiful questions. They're famous for it. There's no family that doesn't have experience with a child really asking startlingly good questions, that the family can't answer. And the fact that the family can't answer it, this is the time that they really want to know. The kids are asking about the Sun and the Stars, and they want to understand the atoms and the grown-ups can't tell them. The point is that they want to be able to learn for themselves: what they need to know; where to find it. And if you can answer them, they'll develop very rapidly. I don't think humanity understands this self-teaching process.
"Every child is a laboratory." . . . I wouldn't start with getting rid of schools. I would start with how to accommodate what needs to be accommodated. I am convinced that life, as born, has many more faculties than has ever been recognized and will grow very, very rapidly if given the chance,"

And as a dancer I know that you're repressing everything important in you, and if you just dare to let yourself move, you're going to find that your thoughts are coming very much more clearly.'

But today I'm absolutely unaware of my motions and sometimes when I see a film of my lectures, I'm amazed to see that I'm all over the stage like a ballerina. Absolutely unaware of it.

Now all this time the Leonardo, or artist, type was making one thing at a time for his patrons. When I was young the Victorian era was absolutely rampant and downtown there were beautiful cabinetmakers making beautiful cabinets for the rich middle class or the nobles. In other words, the artist made the end product with his own hands. They were good at developing more and more artists, digging art into almost everybody. It was being very greatly cultivated. Now in the new era the artist-Leonardo said: 'There are not enough artists to make end product for everybody by hand.' So what has to go on from now on is the artist-scientist-Leonardo type who makes designs for tools and the tools make the end product. And the tools require a lot of power; and we now have the relaying of power. We have the waterwheel. We can generate electricity, and so forth. Then all of our machinery you will find is all leverage... Various forms of levers. For the gears are just a series of levers-- all tied up to an enormous entity much more than the muscle of man. So that really is the beginning of what we might call the mass production era.

"There have been men in our history who have become well-known to us by virtue of their tool-inventing and tool-using capabilities; and their conceptualizing of tasks they could do-- tasks they have done on behalf of their fellow men. I will simply call this kind of man the Leonardo-type. He was a very comprehensive toolmaker, tool-conceiver, tool-user, and a large problem addresser and solver."
"In the middle of the 20th century Henry Ford may be identified as the great Leonardo-type, even though he would be absolutely astonished. He though t of his workas utterly prosaic, but he might then be thought of as having Lenardo-type conceptualization. And the idea was that from this point on the artist makes tools and the tools make the end-product, and this is mass production."

RBF Definitions
"The principle of leverage is a scientific generalization. It makes no difference of what material either the fulcrum or the lever consists-- wood, steel, or reinforced concrete. Nor do the special case sizes of the lever and fulcrum, nor of the load pried at one end, or the work applied at the lever's other end, in any way alter either the principle or the mathematical regularity of the ratios of physical work advantage which are provided at progressive fulcrum-to-load increments of distance outward from the fulcrum in the opposite direction along the lever's arm at which the operating effort is applied."

Lever:
"The lever works whether it is wood, steel, aluminum, fiber glass, or even reinforced concrete. Reinforced concrete can make a lever. The principle of the lever; that is, balancing the arms from the fulcrum over to the load and then on to the lifting arm on the opposite side of the fulcrum to go out one increment of distance between load and fulcrum and you have an even advantage: to go out with ten such lengths, you can lift ten times as much weight, and so it goes. If the distance is one foot from the load to the fulcrum, and you go out on the lever arm ten feet, and you weigh 200 pounds, you will be able to lift ten times 200 pounds, or exactly one ton on the other end of the lever.
"So little you could lift one ton. I should say 'little 200-pound you' could lift one ton. That would be ten times your own weight; that is my main point. And the main point about the lever is that it doesn't have to be wood. It can be any kind of material and it can work anywhere in the Universe. Whereas your experience with the lever is always one special-case lever-- a wooden one, or a steel one-- and any that you"

Lever:
"You might think about the total of all our mechanics as being something done in terms of levers. Men were learning how to develop higher advantage gainable out of the use of the hands with a lever and then learning how to capture free energy patterns, bring them into focus, and bring them on to the ends of the lever. For instance, a waterwheel is really a series of levers, first one lever and then another lever--get out on the end of the lever where you can do the most work, move from the center of the hub, the radius of the waterwheel being the length of the lever. You present a series of levers and you learn then to take the great energy pattern of nature: atomizing the waters and making them into clouds and then coming down as rain and landing on the top of hills and coming down the hills as rivers. We learn to take the energy pattern of the water rushing to the lowest level; and they exploited gravity then by canalizing that water into reservoirs and then being able to let it out of the reservoirs at the time they wanted to do the work. So they had it coming out specifically, landing on the blade of the waterwheel."

If we find any exception
We no longer have a scientific generalization.
Scientific generalizations are extraordinarily meaningful,
As for instance was the discovery
Of the principle of leverage,
Which probably came about as follows:
Occasionally humans who have penetrated
Wilderness forests
Encounter trees fallen slantwise
Across their line-of-sight path
In their chosen direction of travel.
"It is obviously quicker
to climb over the fallen tree
Than to try to walk around it.
They find it logical
to walk along the top of the fallen tree
when it leads in the direction of preferred travel
Or toward the next opening in the forest.
As they walk along the horizontal trunk
They feel the tree to be progressively sinking."

That as they walk outward-- journeyward--

Lever: Fallen Tree as a Lever:
"For instance, we have the principle of the lever. The lever is nothing by itself. We have a bar, a fulcrum, and a load and then the application of effort on the other end of the lever arm with a minimum of the levering function, Using the distance from the fulcrum to the load as a basic increment, we discover that going one unit on the lever arm outwardly produces an even balance. Going two units outwardly makes it possible to lift twice that amount. In this way little man has been able to lift large tonnages with his little tiny weight, where only maybe a 200-pound man can lift a ton with his lever. I'm sure the first lever discovered by man was a fallen tree, where one fallen tree would lie across another fallen tree. When by accident he stepped on the tree that was lying across the other one-- he saw that his standing on the other end made the big tree lift. He discovered the lever. ... The lever can be of wood; it can be of steel; it could be of aluminum; or it could be of reinforced concrete. It could be many, many substances and we discover that the human mind is able to discover a principle and the mathematics of it. It learns that subjectively. But then it can also employ the principle

It must be a specific lever, a special case lever, again either wood or steel, six feet long or ten feet long, whatever it might be. So the human mind has the ability to recognize generalized principles which, in order to be principles, must be eternal. We have then the human mind demonstrating a contact with the great eternity and able then to modify within our present life various physical ways."

Lever: Fallen Tree as a Lever:
"Out of industrialization came the ability to do very large things in very big ways. But I'd like to get down to something rather more fundamental. What man then has to discover is generalized principles. In literature, the word 'generalization' means trying to cover too much territory too thinly. In science the word refers to the discovery of a principle that holds true in every case; if you find even a single exception, then it is no longer a generalized principle in science.
"Consider, in ancient times, a man like any of us going through the woods from time to time, woods where men have not gone very often. Trees, fallen in great storms, are strewn across one another, and he tries to reach his destination as directly as he can by climbing over them. As he climbs over one of the trees, it begins to sink with him slowly and he moves back for a moment and then comes up again to the same place. As he walks on the tree and it sinks lower and lower, he wonders what's going on. He looks at the tree and sees that it's lying across another one, the other end of which is under a very big tree--and as he moves out farther that enormous tree is being lifted, and he says: 'I never lifted a tree like that.' He goes over and tries to lift it with his muscle and finds that he can't"

"budge it. But standing back on the fallen tree, sure enough he can lift it. Now I suspect this man must have gone to his family with talk of a magic tree, a very special tree that would be brought home and kept around for a number of generations. But then one day someone must have found that any tree would do. Now, as a generalization, that is the beginning of the lever.
"With that lever, man was able to move things he couldn't move with his own muscle. He began to move large rocks around and develop monumental defenses. Then the great pirates began to use levers in big ways. They set their slaves to rowing ships, which now could go windward with the rowing ship (something the wind alone would not let them do). They then began to have very much bigger ships, and they had to find a way to anchor them. The anchor, which of course had to be recovered when not in use, was made of metal and was very heavy. So they developed those same levers into a capstan around a shaft that the slaves pushed around horizontally-- and up came the anchor. Later, man found that he could turn the shaft around vertically and from this came water wheels. Man had time and again felt the potential force of falling water (under water falls and so forth)."

Now men mounted a wheel on a shaft and bearings, and they put pulleys and then belts up into buildings to do all kinds of work. This was the beginning of man's discovering generalized principles and using them to channel energies from the atmosphere. In this case, the Sun is elevating water out of the sea into the sky until it returns down the hills to be channeled to the ends of lovers to do man's work. From this point on, the big task of man was to use his mind to find ways of doing work very much greater than his muscles could possibly do, by mastering and channeling energies of the Universe onto the ends of levers.

The the associative intake 'hunger' is unspoken metaphysically after death, the disassociative discard proclivities speak for themselves as these chemical proclivity discard behaviors continue and reach self-balancing rates of progressive disassociation. What happens physically at death is that the importing ceases while the exporting persists, which produces a locally unbalanced-- exclusively exporting-- system."

Life is a Sumtotal of Mistakes:
"Man-- born naked, helpless, and ignorant-- but with innate drives to insure procreating and refueling... He just makes mistakes all the time, learning only by making mistakes. The billions of humans who have lived must have made septillions of mistakes. Since these mistakes must have given humans such an inferiority complex, nature had to offset this tendency by a chromosomically-induced pride, ego, and self-deceiving capability.
"When people are surprised by some new development, they tend to say, 'I knew it all the time!' in a self-congratulatory way. So parents have brought up their children with the idea that they should make no mistakes, they should be frozen into their customs. It is this Emperor's-clothes-like tradition which universally assumes that only fools make mistakes; it is this kind of tradition that requires such a revolutionary breakthrough.

Q. "Spirit and soul: do you have definitions for those?"
RBF: "I don't have any definitions for either. What I have said is that I am sure that life is not the organism which it employs. Our organisms consist physically entirely of atoms--and atoms are completely inanimate. Whatever you and I are is metaphysical, has understanding, and has nothing to do with the physical. The relationship is between but not of, there is something between us but not of--I speak about mind as operating there, but mind discovers the relationships existing between.
"Brains are always and only coordinating the input of the senses. This one smells this way, this one sounds that way--so they are always dealing in special case compositions of experience and they can recall the special case compositions. Mind is not the special cases, but it finds these relationships--a good thing--between the special cases. This is as close as I can really come to explaining the phenomena of life and mind. It employs this organism to get its information."

Q. "Do you equate spirit and soul with mind then?"
RBF: "I don't ever use the word spirit or soul. I can see that they were probably what people were intuitively identifying as best they could. In other words, they had the spirit leaving the body as though it was weightless. And I say whatever life is, I would use the word life rather than spirit... because I don't use words of which I don't have some kind of knowledge. I think man was making a mistake all this time saying that life was physical whereas it was always metaphysical. The chemistries are right there. I find biochemists saying very improperly that this is the chemistry of life. The chemistry of life is still there when there is no life left."

"The scientists seemed to have given up the idea of significance; they seemed to have lost their gift for philosophical thinking. So the focus on physical things was kept kicking along by the church, trying to treat the physical as life, which it isn't. The Catholic Church is built on the notion that life is physical--the bits of hair of the Savior, the communion with the physical wine, the bread is my flesh, this is my body. In the mass or holy communion the wine is the blood: drink this: piece of bread: the purely physical contacts of life. If life were physical we really could make synthetic men, laboratory animals, and artificial intelligence; we never will."

"I am 78-- and at my age I find that I have now taken in more than 1000 tons of water, food,and air, the chemistry of which is temporarily employed for different lengths of time as hair, skin, flesh, bone, blood, etc., then progressively discarded. I weighed in at seven pounds , and I went on to 70, then 170, and even 207 pounds. Then I lost 70 pounds, and I said, 'Who was that 70 pounds?-- because here I am.' The 70 pounds I got rid of was ten times the flesh-and-bone inventory at which I had weighed in, in 1895.
"I am certain that I am not the avoirdupois of the most recent meals I have eaten, some of which will become my hair, only to be cut off twice a month. This lost 70 pounds of organic chemistry obviously wasn't 'me,' nor are any of the remaining presently associated atoms 'me.' We have been making a great error in identifying 'me' and 'you' as these truly transient and, ergo, sensorially detectable chemistries."

"Philosophical Realization That Physical Is Not Life: The philosophical realization that the physical is not life will lead to the ultimate conquest of mind over muscle. This generates the historical transition of experience to a predominant mind-over-matter reality.
"Misassuming that both the animate and the inanimate are physical, humanity misidentified 'civilization' with the burial of its dead. That is where man broke away from all the animals. Animals recognize that the carcass is not life. Kings sought to rationalize the inheritability of sovereignty by identifying life with the physical. This also generated middle class mausoleums and hereditary privileges.
"Emancipation of individuality requires elimination of the slave mentality. It is the realization of the inherently inviolable integrity of the individual."

Light on Scratched Metal:
"When a bright light shines on a complex of surface scratches on metal, we find the reflection of that bright light upon the scratched metal producing a complex of concentric scratch-chorded circles. In a multiplicity of omnidirectional actions in the close proximity of the viewable depth of the surfaces, structurally stable triangles are everywhere resultant to the similarly random events. That triangles are everywhere is implicit in the fact that wherever we move or view the concentric circles, they occur, and that there is always one triangle at the center of the circle. We would add the word approximately everywhere to make the everywhereness coincide with the modular-frequency characteristics of any set of random multiplicity. Because the triangles are structurally stable, each one imposes its structural rigidity upon its neighboring and otherwise unstable random events. With energy operative in the system, the dominant strength of the triangles will inherently average to equilateralness.

Therefore, light-- as all candle power does-- goes in all directions, not just in a line. Therefore we know that the surface always grows as the second power of the linear. So the speed of light is c-- use small c for any radiation, the speed of any radiation omnidirectionally.... because a wave of light is going in all directions. Therefore it is c to the second power."

Limit Point:
"Let us consider a tetrahedron which also always has an externality and an internality. At its internal center is its terminal turn-around and come outward again condition. This is exactly why in physics there is a limit point at which you turn yourself inside-out. You get the the outside and you turn yourself inside-out and come the other way. This is why radiation does not go off into a higher velocity. Radiation gets to a maximum and then turns itself inwardly again-- it becomes gravity. Then gravity comes to its maximim concentration and turns itself around and goes outwardly-- becomes radiation."

Index Entry
Speaking operationally, lines are products of the energy interactions of two or more separate systems. The local environment is a system. A line is always formed by an alteration of the local environment by another system. 'Lines' are the pattern of consequence of one system altering another system, either by adding to it, or by taking away from it. The event leaves some kind of tracery, either additively, as with a vapor trail or a chalk mark, or reductively, as with a chiseled groove or a pin scratch, or as a crack opened between two parts of a formerly unit body.

". . . As Einstein pointed out, when the speed of light was finally ascertained and measured, there could no longer exist anything that was instantaneous. The mathematician's concept of a straight line was instantaneous: in that way he did not have to say that his straight line was generated. It takes energy and action to get from here to there. Then what is a line? Lines are directional energy events: they are vectors."
- Cite RBF, Univ. of Rhode Island, 26 Aug. '66.
Line
Index Entry
The pure mathematicians straight line must be instantly infinite in two directions. All its parts must be absolutely uniform and simultaneously sub-existent. It must avoid being progressively generated as an experimentally produced action-trajectory of one system modifying another. Microscopic inspections of any action-trajectory's impressed, graven or deposited trail must disclose gross irregularities. Progressively closer inspections of experimentally attempted demonstrations by the mathematicians of their allegedly 'straight' lines increasingly disclose volumetric aberrations and angular digressions from straightness. They are axiomatically selfcontradictory.

"All mathematicians, both Euclidian and non-Euclidian, assume erroneously that you can run a plurality of lines through the same point at the same time. I find experimentally that the lines are always the products of energy actions. A line is always an alteration of the local environment. 'Lines' are the consequent pattern of one system altering another system, either by adding to it or taking away from it. The event leaves some kind of tracery either additively-- as a vapor trail-- or reductively, as with a groove or scratch."

And if you do realize that there is a force line between the two spheres' centers, you could assume that there is only one line between the two. This is where you see that unity is two, because the line breaks itself into radii of the two spheres."

"And all the categories of creatures act individually as special case and may be linearly analyzed, but retrospectively it is discoverable that inadvertently they are all inter-affecting one another synergetically as a spherical inter-precessionally regenerative tensegrity spherical integrity. Geodesic spheres demonstrate the compressionally discontinuous -- tensionally continuous integrity."

Liquid:
"Double bonding provides a hinge between the tetrahedra which are still flexible and forces being applied telegraph throughout the whole system. Liquids have this extraordinary quality of distributing forces. Yet liquids are noncompressible: you find that if you put tetrahedra edge-to-edge that you cannot compress them any more. The coherence of the liquid's viscosity is twice that of the gases inherently."

Index Entry
Literacy:
"Literacy is absolutely Number One priority. You have to know what your problem is. Russia was able to go from under 10 percent literacy up to I think 92 percent in a little over a decade. That came from a deep understanding that literacy was absolutely essential.
"Historically, men weren't literate. It's an absolutely extraordinary thing to have a world where people are literate and where people can read and communicate and information gets passed around the way it does today. It's a very new matter. But I don't expect miracles. As you become literate, more and more literate, you realize that we do start with a mind and that in the end it's going to be mind over matter. Man has been operating with matter over mind right up to now.
"The guy who was strongest and toughest could get hold of a gold mine and say: Listen, you, you understand, that's mine. Pure right makes might. We're just breaking out from that. Everybody had just accepted the idea of property. But there's nothing from God in those deeds. Nothing from Universe. It's simply from the strong man. So there's nothing in there about logic or how to make the world work. It's simply an illiterate man who's very hungry and tough and big and how does he act."

"I guess as a consequence of trends that I observe that we will always have a limited function, that we are meant to be a local function and not the comprehensive function. This is the nearest thing we've come to what we probably mean by the word 'god': it's a great comprehensive integrity, the all-knowing integrity of the Universe.
"I discuss this in The Game of Life, Chapter 43 of NINE CHAINS TO THE MOON. (I took it out just before it got published because I was afraid it would be much too esoteric for people in the 1930's; I thought it might hurt the credibility of the rest of the book at that time.) In it I have god deciding to test his own infallibility, the real integrity of the Universe, himself; and we have a totality of the time which is for the moment expressed as a sphere, which looks like a circle; and we have then a dropout, an ego dropout, that's a tiny little section of arc of the enormous circle, so short that it looks like a straight line; and it thinks it's straight and breaks out and starts falling away.
"So at first there's a great big circle with this tiny little line dropping away from it; and as it gets further and further"

"away, it becomes more and more concerned with itself; and the big circle gets smaller and smaller, and finally gets to be a little dot above a little eye-- 1-- and then it gets to be a big eye-- I-- and throws away the dot altogether. And from then on its really in trouble.
"The god then takes all the cards and all the rules and the laws and everything and tears them all up in little bits and tries to throw them to smithereens-- and you've got to put the Universe together again and find out whether the integrity is really there.
"So we start in in World Game in trying to put it all together again. And this more or less matches the kind of evidence we have as a trial balance of Universe: How much of a mess can you really introduce and still come out of it? And the kind of mess that's going on right now on our planet is typical: So how do you pull out of this mess?
"The god would periodically, then, reject himself so that we might become part of the great all-knowingness again instead of being separated out as ego."

Locality:
Mechanically and chemically, a steerable rocket embraces a complex of internal and external events. Both airplanes and steerable rockets are complexes of internal and external energy event transactions and omni-interacting resultant motions in Universe transcendental to Earth motions, where the observer-articulator is extraterrestrially positioned. Since the Earth is moving as a dependent motion-complex in respect to the Sun's and other planets' motions; and since the Sun is engaged in a plurality of internal and external motions in respect to the galactic system; and since the galactic system is a complex of motions in respect to other galaxies and supergalaxies, and so on; and since the whole set of motion events are nonsimultaneous and of uniquely variant durations; and since the intereffects of the evanta vary vastly in respect to aeons of time, it is obvious that any thinkably meaningful conceptual coordination of event interrelationships by the meager lifetime limits of humans is inherently limited to a relatively local set within Universe and within a time sense, and the relationships may only be measured in respect to the angle and frequency magnitude characteristics of any one subsystem of the totality.

He got into quite a little trouble in a sense with his cube and square because he couldn't square the Earth. I drive across the country quite frequently, and I just drove across coming here, and you come into any one town and there is squareness locally, but the surveyors don't meet up with with the square in the other town because it is a sphere and not a cube that we are on, so you are always having these lot lines that come to an end of the line at the road turns at a right angle and goes here and accommodates and comes into the web of the next town. We really pay very little attention to this kind of inadequacy of our working assumptions."

The phenomenon of entropy, in which all local systems lose energy, means that every local system in giving off its energy gave it off to the environment and therefore ordered the environment. All local systems are continually generating change and have periodicity. Local systems all have patterns that do not correspond with other systems, and they are unique. While each is regular and orderly as it gives off its energies, these do not necessarily mesh, and they seem to be disorderly with regard to the rest of the system.

Radius of Man's Locomotion:
"As man has become knowledgeable, he has translated the principles discovered in Universe into abetting his quickness and mobility. The physical effect of this translation has been demonstrated in important degree only within this past half century. Born with legs and not with roots, man is in principle mobile. Prior to World War I man's locomotion was primarily accomplished by his legs. He rode in vehicles only about 300 miles per year. Oft-repeated Army surveys show that man has always walked an average of 1300 miles per year, and probably always will.
"In 1919, it was evidenced that the species 'man' had changed. Man had become an invention which moved about primarily by mechanical means. In the United States he to and fro-ed, in 1919 about 1600 miles mechanically. He continued walking 1300 miles per year, but instead of sitting in rocking chairs, he was sitting in moving automobiles. Thus he totalled 2900 miles in 1919. At the beginning of World War II, the average man was moving mechanically 6000 miles per annum; however, he continued walking an additional 1300 miles per annum, for a total of 7300 miles per year. The U.S. behavior curve in this respect is a pilot or 'tendril' curve of the 'world curve' to accomplishment"

Lord's Prayer
RBF Definitions
"I came out of a world where the Lord's Prayer was being very generally used. I simply said I thought it has come to us through so many translations from so many languages, and we don't even know who... it probably was a composite of thousands of mens' thinking. It no longer possibly meant what those who did the thinking meant to say.
"For instance, I said that I don't think it's logical for... to ask God to make a bargain; that you're going to forgive somebody over here--and therefore God's got to forgive you. I said, I don't think you have to ask God anything. We certainly don't have to have any proselytizers for God. God is God. God doesn't need any advocates. God is God, and there is really nothing that little human beings can tell God that God doesn't already know.
"So I came to a completely different kind of feeling... I felt that the Lord's Prayer was a catalyst to make me think."

Loss: Discovery Through Loss:
"Retrospective awareness of losses can bring overpreoccupation with self which blinds self to recognition of the synergetic gains potentially accruing to the 'separation' or 'cancellation' events which, by virtue of the second-power law, have brought group advantage gains in which the individual has attained fourth-power continuance potential often way offsetting individual freedom losses, particularly in view of the group's discovery that, as a group, it can enjoy all the original freedoms individually lost, but never realized by the individual to exist; ergo unemployable consciously by the individual who was more a 'victim' or burdened carrier of the unknown freedoms than an enjoyer of them.
"Only as spontaneous group structuring loomingly occurs, do the discovered cosmic freedoms become consciously employable as they are employable effectively only for all and not for self. When however, this exclusively retrospective discovering of potentially advantageous freedoms is made by the grouped-in individual, and he selfishly persists in trying to employ the freedoms exclusively for self, or only for an exclusive subdivision of the group, then his attempts become inherently unfulfillable and scheduled for ultimate diminate failure."

Loss: Discovery Through Loss:
"It is a basic principle that you only discover what you had by virtue of losing it. Due to our subconscious organic coordination, you don't know what you're losing until you lose it. Naught can be so advantageous as thoughtfully considered loss and resolve to employ the principles thereby discovered for others. You don't know how much you have to give until you start trying to give. The more you try to give effectively to advantage others, the more you will possess to give, and vice versa."

Love
Index Entry
"People want to be either symmetric or asymmetric. They love bias but they don't like isosceles, the fence-straddler. Real love is isosceles: inclusive but not exclusive. What people seem to mean by love is that they want the other to join them: scalene. The real love includes the other; it is omni-inclusive, semisymmetric, isosceles."

Loyalty
Index Entry
"The Greeks' concept of the geometrical, bound-area of their triangle-- or their circle-- lay demonstrable on only one bound-area side of the line. As a consequence of such fundamental schooling world society became historically biased about everything. Continually facing survival strategy choices society assumed that it must always choose between two or more political or religious 'sides.' Thus developed the seeming nobility of loyalties. Society has been educated to look for logic and reliability only on one side of a line hoping the side chosen, on one hand or the other of indeterminately largelines, may be on the inside of the line. This logic is at the head of our reflexively conditioned biases."
Loyalty
Index Entry
Loyalty:
"Loyalty, which is powerfully one-sided, has come to be rated as a noble attribute. Loyalty can take outright lies in its stride. It thinks nothing of defending a fallacy. . . "

Lubricants
RBF Definitions
"Men think superficially only of lubricants and mechanically fitting tolerances whereas-- focused at the proper magnitude of conceptuality-- what goes on in the affairs of lubricants and bearings discloses discrete geometrical relationships where no event ever makes absolute contact with another. There are simply orbital interferences, where the mass attractions will always be just a little more powerful than the fundamental disintegrative tendencies."
