"The three perpendicular bisectors of an equilateral triangle cross each other at the triangle's center of gravity, dividing the total triangle into six right triangles, of which three are positive and three are negative. So there are six fundamentals of the triangle which makes possible dynamic symmetry. . . Each corner is balanced by its positive and negative-- like a street corner. This is called dynamic balance. Literally all machinery is dynamically balanced in this manner."

Index Entry

The Madison Avenue of the Gay 90's meant the area between madison Square and 42nd Street, dominated by the J.P. Morgan residence at 38th and Madison. Madison Avenue of the first half of the 20th century referred to the shopping section from 42nd Street to 72nd Street, dominated at its base by Brooks Brothers, the Biltmore Hotel, and the Roosevelt Hotel. So attractive did the Madison Avenue vantage appear to so many corporate newcomers that they, in effect, have pulled down all the old buildings and thus terminated all the old enterprises that constituted Madison Avenue. They have built a new canyon in the Universe whose preoccupation with the abstract function of shaping men's conditioned reflexes, through advertising, has caused the words 'Madison Avenue' to hold an entirely new meaning--having nothing to do with a physical avenue itself, but with their 'corporate image'--the collective archpropagandist, proselytizer, inducer, and seducer.

Magic Numbers:

"In the structure of atomic nuclei there are certain numbers of neutrons and protons which correspond to states of increased stability. These numbers are known as the magic numbers and have the following values: 2, 8, 20, 50, 82, and 126. A vector model is proposed to account for these numbers based on combinations of the three fundamental omni-triangulated structures: the terahedron, octahedron and icosahedron. In this system all vectors havc a value of one third. The magic numbers are accounted for by summing the total number of vectors in each set and multiplying the total by 1/3."

Magic Numbers:

"... There has emerged an impressive pattern of special and fairly regularly positioned behaviors of the relative abundances of isotopes of all the known atoms of the known universe. (SEE ILLUSTRATION _____.)

"Looking like a picture of a mountainside ski run in which there are a series of skump upturns of the run, there is a series of sharp upwardly-pointing peaks in the overall descent of this relative abundance of atomic isotopes curve which originates at its highest abundance in lowest atomic number elemental isotones. These peaks are know as the magic numbers. The peaks are approximately congruent with the atoms of highest structural stability.

"The magic numbers are: 2, 8, 20, 82, and 126 !

"... We identify those numbers in an absolute synergetic hierarchy which must transcend any derogatory suggestion of pure coincidence alone, for the coincidence reoccurs with mathematical regularity, symmetry and structural logic which identifies it elegantly as the model for the magic numbers."

Magnetic Field:

"The becoming one of both the finity inward with the finity outward indicates a sensibility of experience preoccupying man as a superficial reality which only occurs at middling dimensions of Universe and appears schematically as a magnetic field. Its flux patterns, like two tangent balls, include every size of particle, as their hour-glass-like tangentially linked inwardness, displays both inwardly and outwardly mingled sets of fountain and reverse fountain flows-- concurrently at both ends-- and through the middle. Periodically, the whole double-bulbed dynamic flux contracts axially, as the two bulbs of dynamic flow merge progressively, and then merge completely, and again separate axially. It is obvious that inasmuch as the whole system was always in flow, that the new bulbs of flux are of necessity new and are therefore only identifiable in principle with the previous comprehensive duality of shapes. The system has inherent yet empty twoness."

Making the World Work:

"The university student, having attained his first freedom of initiative, his optimum level of metabolic efficiency, bodily coordination, and general outlook, finds that his idealism is concurrently exposed to an awareness of powerful intellectual and technical disciplines. At the same time he is the recipient of frequent science-technology breakthrough news, such as the under-the-polar-ice passages of atomic submarines and new achievements in rocketry and electronics. He also receives an overabundance of news concerning world want and political stresses that break into ever more frequent crises.

"Logically, the student becomes exasperated and says, 'Why can't we make the world work'? All the negative nonsense is the consequence of outworn, ignorant biases of the old-timers. Let's join forces and set things to rights.' Parading in multitudes, students demand that their political leaders take steps to bring about peace and plenty. The fallacy of this lies in their mistaken, age-old assumption that the problem is one of political reform. The fact is that the politicians are faced with a vacuum and you can't reform a vacuum. The vacuum is the apparent world condition of not enough to go around-- not enough for even a majority of mankind to survive more than half"

"The students are thrilled to realize that it is themselves they must turn to in order to make the world work, through practical use of their university science and technology resources and their laboratory-supported design-science capabilities. The students know that they need no more license to invent the tools that will make the world work than the Wright brothers needed a license to invent one of the most needed more-with-less tools-- the airplane. The students' task is clear-cut. It is to increase the overall efficiency of the world's mechanical devices from their present four percent to an overall efficiency of 12 percent. This is easy, since overall efficiencies of up to 80 percent are now feasible. The students know that if they invent the right tools, the tools will be used, given the right emergency.

Of course, the male is not always the hunter. There is much in legend about the female as huntress. Diana and so forth. The male is not the seed. The ovary is the seed. The male just pollinates. No one is purely male or female.

Of course there are differences. The female can stay in cold water much longer: what makes her soft makes her better insulated. There are physical differences, some impeding, some advantaging. The woman is a wave phenomenon: a puller. The male, the penis works as a pusher. They are designed that way: she to be attractive, he to be the aggressor-- but the intereffects are much more complex than this oversimplification.

When nature wants to stop propagation she changes the way men and women look at one another.

"As man becomes less of a subconscious function in the Universe, which he has been, and consciously employs his faculty to differentiate experiences and to reasssociate them in preferred ways, he will become more and more effective. By becoming more conscious and developing more and more orderliness, he simply discovers more facets of the Universe. Neither he nor the Universe are getting more complex. As he learns more, man is becoming more orderly, more understanding, and more understandable. I don't find life less coordinatable. It is the increasing degree of man's conscious participation in the evolutionary events of the Universe that is important."

"I've come to my own working conclusion that the human does have a function; and that he is to be the most effective metaphysical orderer, comprehender, employer of information to be employed in different ways to make the world even more orderly-- and to do so without undue wasting of energy. Energy is supposed to be collected here. Therefore man can learn how to employ the energy patterns of Universe to do work. His job as metaphysical orderer has antientropic force or capability. His job is to rearrange the scenery continually-- to rearrange the somewhat random receipts of the stardust, and so forth, and to keep rearranging them in more effective ways and certainly for the regeneration of life itself.

"Part of this great orderliness is to try to understand that there is this function of understanding in the Universe. Man seems to be the prime, the only, manifestation we have of it; other than the a priori Greater Understanding, and I would think that our functioning is in every way to make that functioning successful aboard this spaceship Earth."

And we discover his function in the Universe in the following manner.

"Our nuclear physicists have now disclosed to us that every fundamental patterning in relation to the atom and its nucleus, every energy behavior, has its opposite. The electron has its positron, the neutron its proton, and so forth. But having discovered in our physical experiments several centuries ago regarding energy, that every local system loses energy, we have the scientists in our own era discovering that the energies are always accountable.

"The energies do not get out of Universe. Energy is finite. We have, however, all the local systems that are continually giving off energies: as they give them off all in continual transformation and all in great motions, the giving off is in a very diffuse way, so that it's considered disorderly, and"

There must, by my inference of what scientists have found out about fundamental structure, be some kind of complementarity to this coming & part in a disorderly way. Because, by coming apart in this disorderly way, it of course takes up more room. Therefore it's an expanding Universe and it becomes inferred that there must be some phase of the Universe where the phenomena are contracting and becoming increasingly orderly. And if we look for that, we shall see that all the stars which are observable are light objects, and therefore they represent that energy being given off in a diffuse and disorderly way. And we look for some black body where energy may be collected. We only find one that we know anything about and that's our spaceship, Earth. Our spaceship Earth we discovered in the Geophysical Year is receiving approximately 100,000 tons of stardust daily. We're very much increasing our avoirdupois: the Universe is collecting here. And we find, then, life being regenerated on our Earth.

This is the first transition from this increasing disorderliness, where the disorderliness has been picked up as random radiation and suddenly put into orderly form. In fact all the biologicals are developing beautiful orderly structures. And amongst all the biologicals we find by far the most interesting to us is the human being, with this drive to apprehend and comprehend and order and sort out and rearrange in more favorable ways, the same fundamental drive toward what we call antientropy. And we find the human being to have this capability of the mind over the brain, and find that the brain then is physical and it's weighable, and it dies with the man. But what is unique to each of those lives is its weightless mind, then, metaphysical, and the metaphysical's function apparently is to apprehend, comprehend, the physical disorder and to bring it back towards order."

For an instance, Goldy explained, that the design sequence and assemblage of humanity's complexedly associated atomic elements assembled into molecules going into cells, all complexedly assembled and behaviorally programmed by chromosomic proclivities as a functioning organism, as well as the designs for progressively assembling all the other members of the Earthian ecology team, were radio-beam, program-transmitted from elsewhere in Universe to exact locations on Planet Earth. These specific species and individual design control program beamings scheduled the relative quantities of the requisite elemental atoms and the sequence of their sub-associations and general organic assemblies. These cosmically-originated, electromagnetic, photosynthetic programmings are exactly the same morphological control codings as those of the complexedly and uniquely intervariable sequences of the guanine-cytosine, thymine-adenine of the DNA-RNA tetrahelix assemblage programming codes and of their subsequent operational proclivities which structural and behavioral programmings (as Goldy explained"

Many of the requisite chemical elements for tunably satisfying those cosmically originated species programs had arrived on Earth at earlier times, coming as stardust or as comet plume fallouts.

Man as an Invention:

"Man was invented a mobile device and process. He has survived through his ability to advance or retreat as his mortal requirements have dictated. Of his two primary faculties, quickness is of great importance but intellect is first.

He recognizes that vital quickness may be momentary reflex, but that satisfactory continuities are proportional to his degree of comprehension of the consequences of his initiative. Degree of comprehension he measures in terms of the complex integration of all individuals' all-time experience, as processed by intellectual integrity. His quickness would be a spontaneous servant to that integrity."

Man as Local Problem Solver:

"The one common experience of all humanity is the challenge of problems. Problems are metaphysical entropy. Humans are here to function syntropically as solvers of problems as guided by mind-discovered cosmic principles. No other known creature of Universe has this recourse to the eternal weightless verities than which there is naught more powerful in problem solving. Eternally regenerative complex Universe with its vast variety of locally unique phenomena involves complex local problems which can only be solved metaphysically by the principles discoverable only by the human mind. Here is humanity's function in Universe.

"None of the inventory of generalized cosmic principles is contradictory to one another. They are all interaccommodative. Some of them interaccommodate others synergetically with exponential rates of relative vantage gain. Altogether the known inventory of generalized principles discloses a priori, abstract, eternal integrity of cosmic design. The cosmic integrity inadvertently discovered through my 1927 commitment to comprehensive responsibility of the designer, thus led to design integrities which conserve and abet the regeneration"

Marx, Karl:

"Karl Marx assumed the scientific validity of both Malthus and Darwin with their combined 'fundamental inadequacy of popular life support' and 'survival only of the fittest.' He assumed that the working masses were the fittest because, though dumb, they instinctively understood how to cultivate agriculture, husband animals, and work the craft tools. Wherefore the great pirates, the nobility, and the bourgeoisie who serviced the nobility, were parasites and must perish. Marx also assumed that the genetic difference between the nobility and the masses was valid; ergo his fundamental class warfare inherent in the economic inadequacy to support both. He also assumed the necessity of downgrading standards in order to stretch support systems to serve all; and he assumed minority-party rule by dogmatic adherence to nonindividualistic code, and annihilation of the treacherous 'other class.'"

"Marx, as a philosopher-scientist (in the first place a scientist is a man of very great integrity) did his thinking at the time when the leading physicist was Dalton. Dalton was then at the mental stage of the interpretation of the experimental phenomena where he thought they really had found the smallest thing, the atom. There was no nucleus, just atoms. They were not broken up into protons or anything else. It was just atoms and they thought they actually had found what Democritus had talked about. It was invisible, below sight, but there it was. .. Marx then as a philosopher of the highest integrity dealing with the latest information of the physicists, was convinced that there really was a hard core thing. He was convinced that the strong armed man was always going to get ahold of the hard things and that the people were going to suffer. There was no question about his conviction. I am convinced that if Marx were alive today he would be excited about the discovery that there is no small last thing. There is nothing that the tough man can get ahold of."

It was really being emancipated. He would not have developed his dialectical materialism. That would not have been in his conclusions."

In Einstein's E = Mc², M is volume-to-spherical-wave ratio of the system considered. Mass is the integration of weight and volume. What Einstein saw was that the same volume could be reduced and still have the same energy mass. Einstein's M is partially identified with volume and partly with relative energy compactment within that spherical wave's volume. There are then relative conconcentration modifiers of the volume before the third powering occurs.

Mass Attraction:

"Nothing could be more fundamental to all of science than the phenomenon 'mass attraction,' which Newton was able to formalize. For instance we hang two masses or spheres from the ceiling and measure the distance between the centers of gravity of them spheres. We find that they are closer together not only from the points where they were hung, which could be accounted for just by the fact that we are on a sphere and the radii of a sphere are divergent, but they are closer than that. If you move one of them halfway toward the other and measure the distance between the centers of gravity, you will find that it has moved in much closer. If you keep moving in progressively, halving the distances, you discover as Newton did, that the relative attraction is in terms of the cesond power of the relative proximity. When you halve the distance between the two spheres you do not double the attraction; you forfold it. So as you get in very close, as atoms are close to one another, you begin to have things with very extraordinary kinds of coherences."

"I find that man has thought structurally in what I would call inefficient compressional logic whereby he piled stone on stone to make a building. He could also dig a hole and have planted the base of a pole and have rigged tension stays from its top to three or more anchors in the ground. This is the way he put a rigid, solid mast in a rigid, solidly framed and planed ship. In traditional land building, tension is only a secondary helper and compression the employed primary structural logic. This is to say that I find most of the world's peoples thinking spontaneously only in compressional structural might-makes-right logic."

Index Entry

Man has tended to think of structure as being built solid in the Earth. He made a hole in the solid Earth and put a solid mast in it. In order to keep the wind from getting hold of the top of the mast and breaking it, he then put a tension member in the direction of the various winds, acting at the end of the lever to keep it from being pulled over.

In this way tension became the helper. We found that he built what he thought was a solid boat, and then put in a solid mast, and then added on tension helpers as shrouds. Tension has been secondary in all man's building and compression has been primary for he has always thought of the compression as solid. Man must now break out of that habit and learn to play at nature's game where tension is primary and where tension explains the coherence of the whole. Compression is convenient, yes, very convenient, but always secondary and discontinuous.

"If I wanted to have a mast on the face of the earth it would take me a minimum of three legs and a tension member to hold those legs down so it takes four members. I can have one compression member and three tension members or three compression members and one tension. It always comes out four. I can put the pole in the ground and we will find that it still comes out four. We might have the mast bending over and it would take two tension members to hold it up, that is called a gin pole, and then it takes a fourth member of gravity to pull the other end down so there are four members operating. You could do that with two compression legs--sometimes called a jack in the Navy, and one tension member, and gravity--four members every time. So there are four degrees of freedom and the local twist you will remember which gives us twelve. I began to see then that we would always have these kinds of fournesses operative." - Cite Oregon Lecture '65, p. 201. 10 Jul'62

Matter:

"The knot... is a form of interference wave where the wave comes back on itself, and as a consequence of any tension in it, the knot gets tighter. This is one of the ways in which the energy-mass patterns begin to tighten up. It is self-tightening. This is the essence of 'matter' as a consequence of two circles of 720 degrees tending to annihilate or lose one's self."

Matter:

"When the end of one energy action comes over the middle of another energy vector there is a precessional effect, a tensional effect. One energy event gets angularly precessed and the next energy event goes by the center of another mass and each one of them are interaffecting the other. It is a basketry interweaving where each one precesses the other angularly so that they hold together very much as a cotton ball. This is just what Einstein was working on in his E = MC² trying to explain a given mass and the way it interfered with itself to give itself this local uniqueness of relative concentration, because these precessions can give you angular changes and it gets tighter and tighter which will give you unique frequencies and every one of our chemical elements has these unique frequencies and you can actually pick them out on the electromagnetic spectrum by a plurality of usually four unique frequencies characterizing each of the elements."

"Marshall McLuhan told me the first day he met me-- on one of the early Doxidis cruises-- 'I am your disciple.' He held up copies of 'No More Secondhand God' and 'Nine Chains to the Moon' and said to me: 'I've joined your conspiracy!'

"McLuhan has never made any bones about his indebtedness to me as the original source of most of his ideas. The 'Global Village' indeed was my concept. I don't think he has an original idea. Not one. McLuhan says so himself. He's really a very great enthusiast, a marvelous popularizer and teacher. He has an irrepressible sense of the histrionic, like no one I've known other than Frank Lloyd Wright.

"My idea of 'Man backing up into his future,' appears in his books as 'Rear-Mirrorism.'

"My concept of the 'Mechanical extensions of man' is the basis for his talk of the 'Electrical Extensions' of man.

"What McLuhan is is a Professor of English literature and, like most of that breed, a very fast reader. He has one of the most phenomenal memories I've ever run into. McLuhan felt that there"

He thought we had all stopped to marvel at his and his wife's performance, but that wasn't it; the way he was dancing there wasn't room for the rest of us and we had to leave the floor.

"And I remember one time on a live television panel at a P.E.N. meeting in Canada when McLuhan's critics were really giving McLuhan a pretty rough time. He relished in it and would infuriate the critics by completely ignoring their most telling attacks. I started taking up for him and coming to his support, but I abandoned this as soon as I realized that it was just all a big game to him.

In a sense, my glasses--I'm very farsighted and have been wearing glasses since I was four years old--have become a part of me. I recall being invited in 1930 to speak at Dartmouth College, in what they call Dartmouth Hall. Seventeen years later, in 1947, I was asked to speak at Dartmouth again--and again spoke in Dartmouth Hall. After being introduced as having been there 17 years before, I stood up and said that while I didn't like to be contradictory, actually I hadn't been there before. My host looked a little surprised, and I pointed out that in the interim Dartmouth Hall had burned down and they had rebuilt it. Moreover, in that 17 years, all my flesh had completely changed--there was none of the 1930 flesh left. In fact, the only important physical evidence that 'I' had been there 17 years before were my eyeglasses: they were the same ones as before. But nothing else about me was the same. Quite interesting to discover that part of the function 'me' was really more permanent than, yet not of, my integral flesh." Cite RBF in Franklin Lecture, Auburn, Ala., 1970

Detection of any natural aberration, witting or unwitting, may bring prosecution and conviction for false testimony. For a long time mechanics have known what Heisenberg-- and science through him-- so recently discovered to be true: that Universe forbids realization of exactitude. The Heisenberg indeterminism implies eternity to be persistent within the physical and metaphysical, ever-evolving continuity-finiteness of scenario Universe, in which the myriads of nonsimultaneously shaken kaleidoscopes are never either simultaneous or identically repetitious.

Man has learned how to externalize his own functions and to leave them behind. So that now you can use my hands [See Hands.], and we can go on from generation to generation of our hands, interchangeable hands. There are no tools that man has developed that are not extensions of the original integral functions, though the functions become, like the special cases in generalization, not too visible. They are always that way.

I don't find anything that has been done by man, that we call mechanics, that isn't part of his internal organism. He was apparently designed with this capability to externalize his internal metabolic regenerating organisms. And he is developing external metabolic regenerating organisms to take care of more and more human beings and extend the capability to all men so that all men can enjoy total resources no matter where they are.

There is something very big going on, and there is something that evolution is confronting man with that he doesn't understand too well. I find very unsympathetic and short-sighted statements being made about technology

They keep throwing their new inheritance responsibilities over to their politicians who are fundamentally frustrated by utterly inappropriate and complex accounting and control procedures of the old pirates invented sovereignties.

Memory:

"By World War II we had come to almost two million chemical compoundsNow the human mind can only retain a certain number of items within a given pattern. At least that is my conclusion. I would say I can remember approximately 5,000 namesof people but these are all special cases and there is nothing logical about it. There are limited sizes of vocabularies, for instance, I can remeber the name of almost every man of the first ship I was on. I don't see any of these men ever any more and I don't really need to remember the names as they are of no use to me. But I meet many people every day and I can't remember their names because the cubby holes are all filled up with those earlier names. They don't come around to get their mail and I can't put anyone else in their rooms. So if you were to just try to remember all the chemical compounds, you couldn't remember them all and you would be in desperate trouble when you are not able to remember more than 5,000. ... The kinds of questions I used to hear asked a few years ago on the radio quizzes seemd to me to be the kinds of questions you could not afford to be bothered with. What I saw that you could do was go in the direction of what we call generalization."

I described what I am doing with you as very much like feeding a great flock of sea gulls. I throw them something and someone catches it and he is excited about that so he goes off and then comes back later on for another piece and doesn't realize there was any in-between or any other pieces that the gulls were getting."

My proposed reorientations . . . involved utter obsolescence of 'nouns' and survival only of verbs . . . to attain more accurate communication, whose new vocabulary . . . had to be translated into 'everyday' language. . . The intuitive doses did not correspond to the conventional syntax. . . The next step in putting the piece to use was to recombine the phrases with dashes, commas, asterisks, and illustrations in such a manner as to seemingly eliminate the 'poetical' aspect without losing the 'mouthfulling'-- in which final form it was employed effectively."

"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. Therefore we have a physically entropic Universe that is everywhere locally taking more room, ergo expanding, and increasingly disorderly from the short time-span local viewpoint."

Meshing & Nonmeshing:

"As the energy comes off it may not fit the energies of the other system, every chemical element having its frequencies. So the frequencies don't happen to mesh . . . and frequently can be thought of like a gear: it has very many little teeth and a relatively few big teeth to each cycle. So if the gears don't mesh, then they take up more room than when they do mesh. So if the energies being given off are continually taking up more room, because the gears are not in a plane. They're omnidirectional. This brings about an observable relative increase of disorder."

Meshing & Nonmeshing:

"All physical systems are always losing energy. Man has called this entropy; though the individual system itself may be very orderly, the timings of different energies leaving different systems may not necessarily mesh with the timings of energies leaving other systems which may also be orderly in themselves. The reason that they don't mesh is that they are coming from different complexes of chemical elements. Since every element has its unique frequencies, we have gears that cannot interlock and must consequently remain tangent to one another. Hence they take up more room than they would if they had meshed. However, if we were able to observe for long enough, we would find that some of those gears would eventually fit together. But it might be a thousand years or twenty-eight and a half years or seventeen seconds. The important thing to note is that there is a great period of non-meshing and that makes the physical appear to take up more room."

Index Entry

We are at the point of completely unexpected events of humanity. We have human beings being born absolutely helpless physically. And they are not self-sufficient for physical life support until the umbilical cord is severed. But metaphysically they are still dependent on the parents for survival. The mind has to develop all its experience of generalized principles like the lever to achieve the independence of mind over muscle. When the child in the womb leaves off the umbilical cord it means the completion of the development of his physical independence. But as long as the parents did the metaphysical life support for the infant they were the news. They were the metabolic.

The same kind of thing has happened now on a world-around basis. The radi and the television are presenting a new kind of voice program in everybody's language. And the young world-- all of humanity-- is changing from its dependence on the parents, the old world of muscle-over-mind. And what is changing is that the authority is changing. The authority used to be the parents and the notion of might-over-right and now the new authority is this universal radio-television voice programs which herald a sort of metaphysical cord comparable to the umbilical cord. It is what I call the metabilical cord: and

It is going to have to be Utopia or oblivion. The cutting of the metabolical cord by nature means the onset of metaphysical independence of humanity.

Metal:

"The great new tool of this age is metal from which has been born mechanics or directed mechanical motion, which is governed fourth dimensional design. It is metal that has made possible centralized production, transportation and distribution through multitudinous channels. Metal has made possible the automobile, the railroad, the airplane, telephone, telegraph, wireless, the clothes on our back and all our food, and our city skyscraper. Generally and structurally speaking, we use it in our houses in the form of nails only. Structurally the characteristic of the new tool, metal, different from any of the tools of other ages, is its fibre or tensile strength, tremendously in excess of any other tensile unit ever created. For example a small wire rope may be seen lifting a great locomotive. In compression metal does not exceed stone to any marked degree. That is why heavy metal leg tables are inharmonious to our sensors."

Metals: Recirculation of Metals:

"Now suddenly we learn that there are other kinds of resources in this vegetation impoundment. There was some metal; and we learn that through the weapons and through the tools. And then there got to be something made of tools, which was the production, which is a very different thing that we call industry today. And then came realization that there was tin in the Malay States. And tin can be flowed very, very thinly on to sheet steel. And you can use sheet steel very, very thinly, and yet quite adequately; so tinning of the steel brought about the tin can: hermetic sealing. For the first time-- you had to be where the food was or you died because it would rot; and you did learn grains, and you get into wheats and mealies that could last some longer and be transported, but all of that's rotted. So there is something in that can; for the first time you could send it away. So you didn't really have to be at a place any more.

"The metals and the new tools brought about an entirely new relationship-- but these were not planted around the world the way the vegetation was. There was a very different world pattern, in fact, as you began to get into them. Just like your telephone"

So the complexity of this new technology involved the resources of around the Earth and not the local. This had been so strong on the guarding-- the conditioned reflexes-- there were enough changes by World War I for the simple reason that it was due to the metals rather than the vegetation....

"This is really what has been going on in the last 100 years. So we have then this new picture of man dealing in total world resources. World War I then was the first time when we went over from man-as-muscle-on-the-farm and this hunting, and so forth, and fishing-- to man empowered by tools. Because the essence of World War I was: Who is ready to produce the tools that made tools? Production is the word for World War I and it was, then, the first great energy war."

"We must redesign the use of the world's total resources in such a manner as to make those now engaged exclusively in the service of only 44 percent of humanity adequate to the effective service of 100 percent of humanity at higher standards of living despite a continually decreasing inventory.

"For instance, all our metals are constantly being melted up and recirculated. Out of all the copper mined in all history, only 14 percent is not at present in an average ly recirculating 22-year cycle of use; and the 14 percent which is not in present recycling use is now in munitions ships at the bottom of the ocean. Sixty-five percent of all our steel is now made out of scrap. That is roughly the ratio of recirculating metal to new mine production in all of the metals categories. It is perfectly practical to think about taking the metals out of obsolete automobiles, taking all the two-ton automobiles off the road, melting them up and making twice as many higher performance one-ton automobiles from the same metal. You may say that you don't want more automobiles-- that the parking problems are too great. In speaking of automobiles I am speaking of a familiar industrial tool. I am not advocating more autos. I am simply considering the feasibility of the"

What is a metaphysical experience? It is comprehending the relationships of eternal principles. The means of communication is physical. That which is communicated, i.e., understood, is metaphysical. The symbols with which mathematics are communicatively described are physical. A mathematical principle is metaphysical and independent of whether X,Y or A,B are symbolically employed."

Metaphysical Independent of Inbreeding:

"Human experience discloses the eminent feasibility of inbreeding biological species by mating like types, such as two fast-running horses. This concentrates the fast-running genes in the offspring while diminishing the number of general adaptability genes within the integral organism. This requires the complementary external care of the inbred specialist through invention or employment of extracorporeal environmental facilities-- biological or nonbiological. It is easy to breed out metaphysical intellection characteristics, leaving a residual concentration of purely physical proclivities and evolving by further inbreeding from human to monkey.

"[Witness the millions of dollars society pays for a 'prizefight' in which two organisms are each trying to destroy the other's thinking mechanism. This and other trends disclose that a large segment of humanity is evolving toward producing the next millenia's special breed of monkeys.) There is no experimental evidence of the ability to breed-in the weightless, metaphysically oriented mind and its access to conceptionings of eternal generalized principles."

That for each of the billions of stars

In the billions of nebulae

There are several planets

Where energies are being

Most effectively conserved--

Which means

By the metaphysical mind.

Ergo: there are probably myriads

Of successful,

Consciously operated planets

Despite greater myriads of failures."

"But in developing their now rigorously accountable discipline for dealing with all ponderables the physicists said, 'there are also a great many earnest men who are engaged in scholarly exploration but are not dealing in ponderables (weighables). The mathematician himself is dealing in unweighable phenomena. So also do psychologists and other have weightless information to explore. These men cannot belong to our Physics Club. They must remain outside our club in the metaphysics world.'

"The word metaphysics was, at that historical moment, somewhat of an affront for it seemed to imply magic and questionable concepts. Metaphysics had been connected by literary men with inexplicables: nonexperimentally demonstrable phenomena. So there was a great deal of resentment on the part of the no-hard-science scholars who were excluded from the Physics Club and were relegated to the Metaphysics Club. However the economists and most of the other metaphysicists failed to understand the full significance of the new physics and went on thinking in classic concepts of instant Universe and its seemingly inherent self-annihilation. They as-yet abhor 'spending' because ignorant of the new physics."

"The physicists . . . had deliberately excluded what we call metaphysics. They only included ponderables-- those things they could weigh. They had great success, but at the expense of many human occupations. My definition of Universe became important because I included the dreaming, and not just the other good disciplines, but some of the nondisciplining. Now inasmuch as all our experiences begin and end, they are all finite. It is very important for us to realize that our experiences are a set of discontinuous finite packages of our awakenings and our going to sleeps and we get very finite increments. Because our experiences consist of finite packages, the aggregate of finites is finite, so my definition of Universe is finite. Now this gives me the same kind of advantage that accrued to the physicist regarding just what we call the energy universe. At least I seem theoretically to be in that position. I am used to generalization and to my mathematics, so once I have accomplished what seems to be a finite definition of Universe I wonder if this cannot be turned to advantage because one of the corollaries of synergy was that the known behavior of

"Comprehensively, geometrically, outwardly and inwardly, macrocosmically and microcosmically, I find that man is really in the middle. He's in the middle between a macrocosm and microcosm geometrically. Now to be in the middle-- you really can't improve on the middle. So when they begin to talk about improving man, I realize they can't improve on the middle. They could get us to be just a little bit more what we're designed to be, which means that what you do is to reduce the imperfections, the inaccuracy of the observation.

"And that's exactly what Heisenberg discovered: the act of measuring alters that which is measured. So we will never be able to be completely exact. But the mechanic has what he calls a tolerance-- a tolerance for error. As we reduce the tolerance for error, we begin to get near the eternal, which is what we'll call the truth. But we'll never quite get there... man being pretty much in the middle, as is the truth itself in a kind of twilight zone on either side of the truth-- both microcosm and macrocosm, kind of closing in on it. No chemist is going to improve that situation."

At best it was only one-tenth of the compressor. Now man gradually learned to take metal out of the stone, and his first thing he made was daggers, that's all he had.

What calm composure can defend

Your rock; when tides you've never seen

Wash out the spans of what has been

And from your island's tallest tree

You watch advance what is to be.

Index Entry

Edna St. Vincent Millay was born in Rockland and reared in Camden at the foot Mt. Megunticock in the years before World War I. Looking out on the islands of the bay, she frequently wrote poems about that inspiring scene. In the early twenties, having moved inland, she wrote the poem 'Mist in the Valley' which laid bare her love for the Penobscot Bay scene.

"These hills to hurt me more,

Than am hurt already enough,

Having left the sea behind,

Having turned suddenly and left the shore

That I loved beyond all words,

Even a song's words, to convey.

"And built me a house on upland acres,

Sweet with the pinxter, bright and rough

With rusty blackbird long before winter's done

But smelling never of bayberry hot in the sun,

Nor ever loud with the pounding of the long white breakers--

"These hills, beneath the October moon,"

Millay, Edna St. Vincent:

"Sit in the valley white with mist

Like islands in a quiet bay

Jut out from the shore into the mist

Wooded with poplar dark as pine

Like points of land into a quiet bay.

(Just in that way

The harbor met the bay.)

"Stricken too sore for tears,

Inland, remembering the islands and the seas lost sound


Life at its best no longer than the sand peep's cry,

Tilling an upland ground!

"A quarter of a century later Edna Millay was living in England as World War II approached. She wrote and published an extraordinary book of poems called 'Brighten the Arrows,' an expression used by the English yeoman centuries earlier when war preparations occurred. In this book she disclosed her poet's vision of the future, in which the ages-old strategic significance of the natural physical isolation of the British Isles-- lying as unsinkable ships commanding all"

"the great Atlantic ports of Europe-- would be forever terminated. Her writing fortifies the historic fact that poets are the earliest to foresee and express almost all of the important concept changes in the evolution of humanity's development around the surface of the spherical Space ship Earth.

"How now my insulated friend,

What calm composure can defend

Your rock when tides you've never seen

Wash out the sands of what has been,

And from your island's tallest tree

You watch advance what is to be?

The tidal wave devours the shore.

There are no islands any more.

"Thus Edna St. Vincent Millay foresaw the inexorable development of a one-town world and its progressively crossbreeding world citizenship lying around the spherical bottom of the sky ocean. Modern technology in general has terminated the fundamental isolation of any part of the Spaceship Earth's surface from another part. It is effectively integrating humanity as its individuals live ever more dynamically around our spaceship's spherical deck."

"Mind is the weightless and uniquely human facility which surveys the ever larger inventory of special case experiences stored in the brain bank, and, seeking to identify their inter-complementary significance, from time to time discovers one of the rare scientifically generalizable principles, running consistently through out all the relevant experience set.

"The thoughts that discover them are weightless and tentative but may also be eternal. They suggest eternity but do not prove it even though there have been no experiences this far which imply exceptions to their persistence. It also seems to follow that the more experiences we have the more chances there are that mind may discover, on the one hand, additional generalized principles, or, on the other hand, exceptions which disqualify one or another of the already catalogued principles which, have heretofore held 'true' without contradiction for a long time, had been tentatively conceding to be demonstrating eternal persistence of behavior.

Minimum Awareness:

"Awareness seems to be the one minimal word best expressing the experience of life,... A philosopher may question that statement saying, 'No you are wrong because awareness can be exclusively of self.' But we reply by recapitulating the inherent minimum topology of awareness:

-- minimum self and minimum otherness are both systems; each having both insideness and outsideness;

-- one part of a system cannot exist without the other;

-- an experienceable point is substantial;

-- all substance has insideness and outsideness;

-- all substances are divisible into minimum substances;

-- each minimum substance is always a whole system; and

-- each system always has insideness and outsideness and four minimum-system-defining events, all of which events are inherently nonsimultaneous and overlapping-ly co-occurring.

"Ergo, the minimum cognition employs the information sensing, remembering, and recognizing circuitry of the organic-substance's minimum self-sensing awareness, which could only be at a minimum one as a system of four minimum-event components, being aware"

Minimum Awareness Model:

"From Euler we know that the number of locally identified minimum entities called points plus the number of separate areas equals the number of lines plus the number two. In minimum awareness we have two identified entities which, being local points, must have directional fixedness against the background of nothingness. Ergo, in minimum awareness two points plus one area of nothingness have one inherent line of most economical interrelationship between the two points, which two points plus one area equal the number of lines.

"The Euler 'plus one' abstractly accommodates two in the minimum awareness model:

point + area = lines + 2

2 + 1 = 1 + 2

3 = 3

Three of two kinds = three of two other kinds = six of four kinds = the six vector edge relationships existing between the four different event-point fixes. Points are subdifferentiable systems; i.e. microsystems of event points too far apart to resolve. Areas are supradifferentiable systems; i.e., macrosystems of event points too far apart to resolve. The nothingness area is one unbounded by any visible closed"

"There are no experimentally demonstrable absolute maximum limits. Only the minimum limit is demonstrably absolute. The minimum limit experienceable is always a system-- even when it looks like a point."

Minimum Limit Case:

"You cannot have a line that is less than a line; or a fix that is less than a fix; or a virgin that is less than a virgin. Nature comes to minimum limit case with all her points in order to feel very comfortable. But the resolution is not linear nor planar; it is omnidirectional; it is hierarchical in ascending or descending hierarchies.

"You grow or decrease. You get better or worse. In parallelism things do not converge. Science is not getting the right answers because scientists do not think divergently and convergently. If you are in parallel you can never get to any conclusion whatsoever. Waves require hierarchies."

You have to have all the great complex of events, and we get then to a minimum set of complementary events where the system then regenerates itself and we come to what we might call Universe. It is interesting then to discover that this tends to be a clearly defined inventory of relative abundance of the various chemical element patterns in the Universe so that you need then a great deal of the pattern hydrogen and you don't need as much of the pattern Uranium."

The transcendentally irrational constant pi (π) is irrelevant to spherical geodesic polyhedral array calculations because the minimum sphere is a tetrahedron. We have learned that a sphere as defined by the Greeks is not experimentally demonstrable because it would divide all Universe into outside and inside and have no traffic between the two. The Greek sphere as defined by them constituted the first and nondemonstrable perpetual motion machine. Because there could be no holes in it, the Greek sphere would defy entropy. A sphere with no holes would be a continuum or a solid, which are physical conditions science has not found. We could dispense with all Universe outside the Greek sphere because Universe inside would be utterly conserved and eternally adequate to itself, independent of the rest of Universe outside.

Now a system divides all the Universe outside the system and all the Universe inside the system. In my thoughts I can have a macrocosm and a microcosm, within this and without this-- and a little bit if the Universe goes into the system itself. So the minimum subdivision of Universe where we can say this is inside and that is outside: I can't get it at one point and I can't get it at two points, or at three. I can't get it until I get four points. With four points I then get insideness and outsideness-- the minimum system is a tetrahedron. There are four triangles. This is a minimum system. This is not only a minimum structure, it is the structure: there are no other structures. This is what I call a structural system because it subdivides the Universe into this entire triangle-- regular or irregular."

Mistake:

"I'm quite content that evolution is full of great wisdom. Human beings have always been--always will be-- born naked, absolutely helpless and, as that beautiful cerebral equipment comes with no experience, therefore ignorant. They've also been given hunger, thirst, the procreative urge, curiosity. These have forced them to make trial and error, trial and error. So the only way humanity has ever got anywhere is by making mistakes, by learning what is a mistake. The mistake is the very essence.

"Fathers and mothers have enormous love for their children but, in fear that their children are not going to be able to make it, continually say to the child, 'You must not make any mistakes.' We've got to the point where the whole society thinks that to make mistakes is a sign of great weakness. The greatest mistake that humanity makes is not recognizing that the only way we get anywhere is by making mistakes. We're given a left foot and a right foot so that while we make little mistakes in each stride, between the two we get where we want to go. This is the way the Universe operates."

"...Humanity has developed a comprehensive, mutual self-deception and has made a total mistake in not realizing that the realistic thinking potentially accruing only after mistake-making was the cosmic wisdom's way of teaching each of us how to carry on. It is only at the moment of humans' admission to selves of having made a mistake that they are closest to the mysterious integrity governing Universe. It is only when human beings, listening to their awareness of truth, confront themselves with self-admission of their mistakes that they are able to free themselves of the misconceptions that brought about that mistake, and in those special moments of self-admission of mistake, with the mistaken conception out of the way, they often have their most important insights into what the truth is that had been hidden from them by their persistent retention of the misconception as fostered only by their pride and vanity, or by unthinking popular accord."

"It is interesting in considering the meaning of structure, to think of the redefinitions emerging annually at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in respect to fundamental phenomena. Every February the Institute exhibits in the main entry hall on Massachusetts Avenue a collection of self-definitions by the various academic departments. This is done so that the prospective students for the coming year (it is enrollment time at mid-years) may consider what the Institute has to offer. The Physics Department, the Chemistry Department, the Mathematics Department, and so on, all make statements about their particular concerns. They must say what they have to offer to the prospective students in a way that is both comprehensible and of high integrity of scientific meaning. Casual suggestions of the nature of the work will not suffice. Thus annually each department has found it necessary to re-examine its inexorably evolving disciplines and where appropriate to redefine its subject. Since each year both man's art and science of communication have improved, I have found it interesting to note how, for instance, the Physics Department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology redefines itself as the years go on."

"There has been such a rapid evolution in the sciences that what for instance the Physics Department said it was concerned with in 1912 was not what it professed in 1922. In 1912 (before MIT moved to the Charles River in Cambridge) it was concerned with mechanics in general, optics, and so forth, and a phenomenon called electricity was newly included as an appendix. By 1922 science was overwhelmed with the newly discovered world of electron behaviors and the Physics Department said publicly that physics was primarily concerned with electronics. Physics in 1950 at the same Institute was described as being concerned almost entirely with the nucleus of the atom.

"The Department of Mathematics at MIT which embraces the fundamental communications systems of all the sciences, is also the most generalized of scientific disciplines. The last time I wrote down its annual statement of self-definition was in 1953. This definition hasn't altered much since then. Mathematics, which is both the most comprehensive and abstract of the sciences, tends to evolve less rapidly than physics or chemistry. Mathematics generalizes all sciences and all other sciences must use it."

"MITE's can fill all space. They can be either positive (+) or negative (-), affording a beautiful confirmation of negative Universe. If there were only positive Universe there would be only STE's. But MITE's can function either as plus or as minus space-fillers; they accommodate both Universes, the positive and the negative as manifestations of fundamental complementarity. They are true rights and lefts and are not mirror images; they are inside-out and asymmetrical.

"There is a noncongruent, ergo mutually exclusive tripartiteness, (i.e., two A's and one B in a wedge sandwich) respectively unique to either the positive or the negative world. The positive model provides for the interchange between the spheres and the spaces. But the MITE's permits the same kind of interchange in negative Universe. But MITE's are all-space-filling within their own world. The cube as an all-space-filler requires only a positive world. The inside-out cube is congruent with the outside-out cube. Whereas the inside-out and outside-out MITEs are not congruent and refuse congruency."

The unique asymmetrical octahedron is always uniformly composed of exactly eight asymmetrical, allspace-filling, double-isosceles tetrahedra, the Mites, which in turn consist of AAB three-quanta modules each. Though outwardly conformed identically with one another, the Mites are always either positively or negatively biased internally in respect to their energy valving amplifying, choking, cutting off, and holding proclivities, which are only 'potential' when separately considered, but operationally effective when interassociated within the allspace-filling, uniquely asymmetrical octahedron, and even then muted (i.e. with action suspended as in a holding pattern) until complexes of such allspace-filling and regeneratively circuited energy transactions are initiated.

This prospect may bring us within sight of a plenitudinous complex of conceptually discrete, energy-importing, -retaining, and -exporting capabilities of nuclear assemblage components, which has great significance as a specific closed-system complex with unique energy-behavior-elucidating phenomena. In due course, its unique behaviors may be identified with, and explain discretely, the inventory of high-energy physics' present prolific production of an equal variety of strange small-energy 'particles,' which are being brought into split-second existence and observation by the ultrahigh-voltage accelerator's bombardments."

"The reason physics continually comes to quarks is that in

the total systemic hierarchy of structuring and multipoly-

hedra-intertransformings there is the phenomenon of allspace-

filling. There are several well-known allspace-fillers such

as the cube, the rhombic dodecahedron, and the tetrakaideca-

hedron. However, the mites consisting of three basic

modules--the two A Quanta Module and one B Quanta Module--

have their counterpart negatives; as the quarks do represent

the minimum allspace-filler of Universe and the A's and B's

do produce in all-rational numbers all of the nucleated

geometries.

"They also have their volumetric counterpart in the nonnucle-

ated icosahedron in the form of the S Quanta Modules--each

of which is 1/120th tetrahedron of which the triacontahedron

is composed. This makes the S Quanta Modules probable

"I use the following metaphor to identify systemically the quarks and the A and B modules as the minimum constituents of systems. Pythagoras demonstrated the system when he stretched and fastened a string between two walls--taut enough to twang. Pythagoras showed that when you firmly clasp (stop) the string at midpoint either half will twang at one octave higher than does the full string. He then showed that if you put firm stops at the two-thirds-way points, the string in between will twang one fifth of an octave higher and also that fifths represent increase of the key note of string twang to its corresponding sharp--or its decrease to its flat--octave scale.

The new capitalism is only mildly interested in trailers or mobile homes, which are simply weather-boxed platforms on which are mounted livingry devices, e.g., beautyrest mattresses, shower baths, washing machines, television, radio, air conditioning, lighting, cooking, refrigerating, bottled gas, tableware, toiletries, wardrobes, and so forth.

The mobile homes take the shape of a shoe box because they have to go through the highway or railway bridges. They're limited to 4-1/3 meters high by 2½ meters wide, but may be as long as highway cornering will permit. The mobile homes are circumstantially 'extruded' through bridge openings and their interior living is reduced to narrow space shape. It is like living in a railroad car.

Such mobile homes provide a space to live near jobs without having to buy a fixed home or a fixed piece of land. Mobile homes can be purchased on time payment or chattel mortgage terms. Because they are assemblies of mass production items, their costs are low--but no where nearly as low as they could be, if uncompromisingly designed for rental and not for sale.

'Society is asking us as the authors to clarify this extraordinary invisible power which has come into all human affairs.' The scientists said that, unlike steam or water in pipes going through turbine wheels, the phenomenon electricity could not be conceptually explained. They said that electromagnetics automatically moved a needle with great regularity, therefore quantitative results could be instrumentally read in respect to any variability introduced into the electromagnetic generation and use of electricity. Changes in the number of coils or cross section of copper, etc., immediately read out on the dials and rates of change for all variables could be plotted; ergo, results could be predicted.

'Using the instrumental readouts, the scientists discovered that black body radiation introduced a fourth-power exponential rate of change. This gave the scientists great satisfaction because they said quite clearly that nature is employing fourth dimensionality and that all models are only three dimensional, being utterly wedded to perpendicular and parallel concepts of agglomeration.

So then I went on to say that, if all the energy conditions were everywhere the same, then all the vectors would be the same length and all of them would interact at the same angle. I then explored experimentally to discover whether this "isotropic vector marix," as so employed in matrix calculus, played with empty sets of symbols on flat sheets of paper, could be realized in actual modeling. Employing equilength toothpicks and semi-dried peas, as I had been encouraged to to in kindergarten at the age of four (before receiving powerful eyeglasses and when I was unfamiliar with right-angled structuring of buildings as were the children with normal vision), I fumbled tactilely with the toothpicks and peas until I could feel a stable structure, and thus assembled an omnitriangulated complex and so surprised the teachers that their exclamations made me remember the event in detail. I thus rediscovered the octet truss whose vertexes, or convergent foci, were all sixty-degree-angle interconnections, ergo omniequilateral, omniequiangled, and omniintertriangulated; ergo , omniinterstructured. Being omnidirectionally equally interspaced from one another, this omniintertriangulation produced the isotropic matrix of foci for omni-closest-packed

This is a very special case and the only other one is the whole equilateral triangle that makes the regular tetrahedron.

"They are very interesting, because the bounce lines-- we know we have reflections into mirrors, and so forth, and lines bounce off at the same angle as they come in-- so when we are bisecting the edges of an equilateral triangle and interconnecting those points with lines, we get the lines on which light would bounce around on the inside of an equilateral triangle if its edges were mirrors. We also get the same thing going on inside this one; but light will bounce out where it comes in at 90 degrees. However, light bouncing around any given triangle (always remember that any triangle, if you bisect its edges and interconnect the points you get similar triangles and they will give you similar angles) and energy lines getting inside a triangle,"

"Rational numerical and geometrical values derive from (a) parallel and (b) perpendicular halving. The thirding and physical isolation of the prime number three and its multiples, is an only inadvertent consequence of the three-way, symmetry-imposed, perpendicular bisecting of each of the tetrahedron's four triangular faces:

(a) the parallel method of tetrahedral bisecting has three axes of spin, ergo, three equators of halving;

(b) the perpendicular method of tetrahedral bisecting has six axes of spin, ergo, six equators of halving.

Halving and its inadvertent thirding introduces the 24 A Quanta Modules.

(a) parallel equatorial halving is both statically and dynamically symmetric;

(b) perpendicular equatorial halving is only dynamically symmetric."

"The one-quarter tetrahedron and the one-eighth octahedron each have an equilateral triangular base and each of the (base ?) edges are identical in length. We can superimpose the one-eighth octahedron over the one-quarter tetrahedron because the volume of the one-eighth octahedron is one half and the volume of the one-quarter tetrahedron is one quarter, so the volume of the one-eighth octahedron is twice that of the one-quarter tetrahedron. Therefore, they will have the same base and the one-eighth octahedron must have twice the altitude because it has the same base and its volume is twice as great.

"In figure #25 they are superimposed and there is a space between the surface of the one-eighth octahedron and the surface of the one-quarter tetrahedron because the one-eight octahedron has a volume twice that of the one-quarter tetrahedron, the space between the two must be the same as the one-quarter tetrahedron so this space in here is a unit of one and the one-quarter tetrahedron is a volume of one. That is, the space between is superimposed as a concave lid and it has a volume of one. If you would actually make that a solid and weigh them, they would have the same weight.

"The A and B Modules quantize our total experience. It is a phenomenal matter to discover units of geometry which are reorientable within the same space, which both have the same volume, and yet which associate in different kinds of coherent systems. While they consist in their positive and negative aspects, of four different asymmetric shapes, their unit volume and energy quanta values provide a geometry for explaining both fundamental structuring and the fundamental and complex intertransformings, both gravitational and radiational."

The A and B modules' energy transforming capabilities and their mathematically describable behaviors (10 F^2 + 2) hint at correspondence with the behaviors of neutrons and protons. They are not mirror images of one another, yet like the proton and neutron, are energetically intertransformable and due to difference of interpatternability have difference in mass relationship. Whether they tend to conserve or to dissipate energy might impose a behavioral difference in the processes of measuring their respective masses. A behavioral proclivity must impose effects upon the measuring process.

The A and B particles are a way of quantizing our total experience. . . . They are two tetrahedra, one of which is foldable out of one triangle and if folded out of one triangle you would find that energy patterns within it would simply ricochet around in it, not trying to get out. The B particle was not folded out of one triangle and energy introduced into it would tend to get out of it automatically. We have two very interesting pieces of geometry, both of them asymmetrical, both of them having the same volume. They would have the same amounts of energy. I will talk about it when we get to vector equilibrium. We get a condition where everything in universe is in equilibrium. At that point I can talk about volume, energy, quantum, field, and so forth-- as all interchangeable conditions. . . . In the A's the energy tends to lock up and in the B's it tends to release the energy, even though they both have the same weight. We find that all the geometries can be made with them. All of the family of the important symmetrical transformations were completely accounted by the A's and B's. We at last have found something: that while they are two different shapes, they are the same quantity. We found there were 24 A's in a tetrahedron and there will be four times as many in the octahedron-- so you

These are little corners on the cube superimposed on the vector equilibrium and it gets chopped up into these little small components. I calculated the volume of each one of these components and found that each one of them came out in whole numbers in respect to tetrahedra. They were fractions, it is true, but if I used the A or B Modules as unity, one-twentyfourth of a tetrahedron, these have very interesting numbers like seven and thirteen-- but all whole numbers. We are now getting to a very interesting kind of fractionation of nature. Everything is coming out in beautiful whole numbers, in simple integers up to 20, and it is coming apart in very much the same kinds of numbers we get in the chemistry.

I made many other subdivisions of octahedra and so forth, and found the components always coming apart, as long as there is any cutting on the axes of symmetry, any of the ways in which nature could chop herself up with various extensions of planes, and they always come apart in whole rational numbers.

"We find you can make one-quarter tetrahedra out of A particles and you can superimpose them on the octahedron which has eight faces. (The octahedron we found was made of A's and B's.) So we can add a little pyramid to each of the eight faces of the octahedron. Because there are twelve edges on the octahedron there are twelve diamond faces and this is called the rhombic dodecahedron. It can be made up entirely of A's and B's; we find its volume coming out in whole units of A's and B's and we find that its total volume is six. The tetrahedron has a volume of one, the cube three, the octahedron four and the rhombic dodecahedron six. The rhombic dodecahedron is an all-space filler like the cube. I have seen quite a few of them being made around the architectural schools and you will find nature using them a great deal. If you go out into Colorado and Arizona you will often find in rocky fields the rhombic dodecahedra crystals which nature uses to fill space. This is one of the most common naturally occurring crystals."

A and B: Tetrahedra. Constant Volume.

"Now we come to an interesting consideration of the tetrahedron. This problem I am going to show you, I was told by Dr. Einstein's mathematical assistant from Princeton in about 1947 that this was his mathematical Ph.D. problem that got him his job with Dr. Einstein. Here is an aluminum tube and another aluminum tube (See Figure D, of SYNERGETICS Illustration #26.) They are the opposite edges of a tetrahedron. Notice that the opposite edges of the tetrahedra are at 90 degrees to each other. They have been processed to each other. There are six edges of a tetrahedron and each of them precess to the opposite at 90 degrees to it." The two discreted edges of the tetrahedron represented by the two aluminum tubes can move anywhere along their respective axes. "They will oscillate on these lines and they will produce all kinds of asymmetrical tetrahedra, but we find that their volume always remains unit" by virtue of their constant base area and identical altitudes.

"You can see why this is so. The A particle and the B particle start with the unit base and add unit altitude, so I have another unit of altitude and it has the same base, it is just superimposed on it, and it has the same volume, a volume of one.

We find these things getting longer and thinner, but their volumes are always the same: one. Supposing we think about something like an electric wire and we start with this base, and we divide this base into three 120 degree angles with a circular base. I can superimpose these almost iconic sections, and every time there is a unit of frequency on the line, the volume will always come out the same as the base volume. Finally the last ones get to look like they are just as long as the wire itself, so there is an outside charge on the wire like fluorescence of a wire is coming off in unit charge and we begin to see the way an electric oscillation impulse put into an electric line always seems to come in relative to the plane to the base and begins to precess of and finally comes off in unit volumes.

Monkey Wrench:

"There is a minimum set of patterns, which is a consequence of one set of patterns reacting with another set of patterns. In order to have a monkey wrench, you also have to make one or buy one at a store, you have to have other things, and these procurements in turn have antecedent event requirements. Each event of Universe leads back to all the great complex of events, and we get then to a minimum set of complementary events whereby the system regenerates itself, and we thus come to Universe. This tends to be a clearly defined inventory of known principles and relative abundance of the various chemical element patterns in Universe which needs a large amount of the pattern hydrogen while apparently not as much of the pattern uranium."

Monkey Wrench:

"We are dealing not in things but in patterns. . . We get various kinds of patterns coming together in the form of gearings and literally they are woven together or geared together. A monkey wrench is a form that takes ahold of the sides of a nut. And the nut is a gear. So a monkey wrench and a nut are a gear relationship. And a monkey wrench is very useful on tightening up the nuts on various machines which are going to reciprocate safely. We all agree that the expression 'loose nut', a monkey wrench in the works' could destroy the works, so a monkey wrench could be very useful to the same machine that it can be lethal to. It is simply a pattern. If the pattern comes in at the wrong place it can strip the gears. If it comes in at the right place it can augment the integrity coherence in the system, that is the regenerative factors."

Montreal Expo'67 Dome:

"On the day the Vancouver Habitat opened, front-page center photographs appeared in newspapers around the world-- not of the UN Habitat meeting, but of the acrylic skin of my USA 275-foot diameter, geodesic dome of Montreal's Expo'67 (now belonging to the city of Montreal) being burnt out. At first the news reports said the dome had burned to the ground. This was untrue: the steel structure was undamaged. Since the invisible acrylic skin had been mounted inside the spherical structure, the structural appearance had not changed. No one was inside and no one was physically hurt. Within 10 days (before Habitat closed) a committee from the city of Montreal came to see me in Vancouver and it was publicly announced in Montreal that it intends to rehabilitate the dome....

"It almost seemed as though the nonstructural skin of the great unharmed geodesic dome had been set afire by some mystical evolutionary wisdom to remind the world of geodesics' very high structural performance as accomplished with only three percent of the weight of any given material necessary to produce equivalent structural and functional capabilities by any other known alternative engineering systems."

"Apparently, the 100,000 geodesic domes built around the world in the last 30 years had proven their economic value, reliability, and economy to such an extent that this front-paged fire news brought no charges of inadequacy of geodesic dome principles.

"The Expo'67 dome event and the progressively increasing magnitude of human numbers voluntarily listening to me--as the protagonist of a design science revolution (vs. global political revolution) with which to physically accommodate the now evident evolutionary insistence on world-around unsettlement of humanity from yesterday's remotely deployed agricultural, mining, manufacturing, seaport or mountain-pass tie-downs and evolution's insistence upon omni-integration of an ever more dynamic nations-homogenizing world society--all of which evolutionary reality seemed in marked contrast to related aspects of Habitat and its technological focus almost exclusively upon nationalist-ically-emphasized, local, immobile, and 'one-off' tailoring of human settlements."

"On May 28, 1967-- three month's before Allegra's birthday-- a set of swift unpredicted events intimate to all this chronicling took place.

"Anne and Bucky went on May 28, via Carbondale, to the official opening of the World's Fair, Expo'67, at Montreal. Both of them were overjoyed at the reception of Bucky's geodesic dome installed at the U.S.A.'s pavilion. The millions who have already viewed and entered it seemed inspired. They said so quite freely. Anne and Bucky could hear the public's words as they walked around in the crowds. It represented a very extraordinary moment for Anne and Bucky-- this being the year of their 50th wedding anniversary.

"To Anne the Expo dome seemed to give sublime validation to the extraordinary backing she has given Bucky.

"When he was a little boy his mother used to tell Bucky about the Taj Mahal and showed him pictures of it. His mother felt it to be the most beautiful building in all the world and sensed that its beauty went beyond its structural and material exquis-"

“Witness. She deemed its beauty to be emanating mystically from the love of its conceiver for his wife.

“Both Anne and Allegra know that in 1927 Bucky had put aside entirely the idea of trying to use his capabilities to develop special economic and physical advantage for them and instead committed himself to the proposition that if those whom he loved were indeed the kind of human beings he thought them to be that they would not enjoy finding themselves in a position of special economic and physical advantage won at the cost of deprivation of others, and likewise that their true happiness could only develop through an awareness that their efforts were always in the direction of progressively increasing advantage for all humans without any biases whatsoever.

“Because every action has its reaction and resultant; and because no event in Universe can be independent of the rest of Universe, Bucky's 1927 commitment in the direction of all humanity and its present symbolic embodiment in the Expo'67 dome which, though dedicated by Bucky's thought to all humanity, must have its inadvertently complementary involvement of Anne and Allegra as well.”

Anne knew that it was so. The Expo Taj is powerful and the beauty goes far beyond the sum of its physical parts.

"Anne and Bucky left the dome and flew from Montreal to New York City. Bucky was to leave her with her family on their old home on Long Island. On the way from Kennedy Airport to New York City, the taxi in which they were riding skidded at high speed in the rain and crashed against a bridge abutment and bounced across the highway. Neither the taxicab driver nor Bucky were hurt, but Anne was very greatly damaged. She had two hemmor-hages in the brain. After a magnificently successful operation she recovered completely."

'Dear Bucky:

'Anne is a woman of considerable strength: she will not leave you to continue alone.

'I have known a long time that Anne's strength, beauty, and grace were in your work. It makes sense that this skybreak bubble should be not a monument, but an embodiment of your love of her. Isn't that love a carrier wave that brought her form and substance, her nature and patterning into and through you and into your visions and work? Isn't a human being a thin, sparkling, transparent membrane reaching out and containing for a time some part of the Universe?

'Human beings are fragile skybreak bubbles, as vulnerable and quickly gone as a child's soap bubbles in a bath. Yet, without vulnerability, there is no courage. Without mortality, there is no beauty or love, no reason to reach out and touch.

"Next thing: So that's why I said call it World War I because it involved the newest... and was on a world accounting basis instead of local. And the whole world was suddenly gaining. Now since-- as a consequence of that we've gone from less, in 1900. One more very important input, for all of you-- and this has never been on the books. There's nothing in any book of economics about-- not even a sentence. The most highly classified of all the-- I was regular USN-- of all the information-- Navy-- and you'd learn by design, the same tonnage, this kind of sea, so you get into optimum design and that was the tonnage of it so the enemy could see exactly what size ship you were building and he had one of the same tonnage. And it was not until you came into contact that you knew who could outfire the... who with the same amount of tonnage could outperform the other, who was getting more out of the same.

"Now this is the very essence of the sea-- going back early to the wooden sailing ship. Two ships of the same size. You built your ship locally, used the best trees you had for your mast (but they weren't particularly good) and the best fabrics you had for your sails. But you came to a country like-- spruce--"

"and you careened your ship and put in much stronger, longer fiber masts. No knots. Then you came to a country like what we call the Phillipines today and we find that the fibers were much stronger for your ropes; so you put on a lot of that rope and make some more rope at home. And you get to a place like Egypt and they had much longer fibers for their cotton and you make your sails out of that. And you found that by the time your ship came home-- the same ship, weighing exactly the same-- could way outperform the other ship that was the same. So when it came to the great battles of the sailing ships, a man who had really been around the world and had got his ship into a very high performance out of the same amount of material-- you would close with the other man when it really was blowing hard; the other man was going to have to take off sail or else his sails would blow out, or his ropes would break, or his mast would break. Whoever did the most with the same, or more with the same, was the one who stayed on top of the ocean. And this was the most highly classified thing, which never showed up. So that when the other man went to the bottom, he couldn't tell about it; so it was kept as a really great secret. I'm really amazed that it's never gotten into the book of economics-- about doing more with less!... And from your own accounting viewpoint, just think what I'm saying."

It means that if your seniors are killed, you have to be able to take over-- not only the ship, but the fleet. In those days there was no contact with the central authority and you'd operate without-- therefore, you had to make your own decisions. And you're really dealing in world. And we were trained to be comprehensivists instead of specialists in the Navy. It was the only place where they trained you to be comprehensivists instead of specialists.

"Now I was fascinated with having this man trained scientifically and involved with all these beautiful ships. Enormous power systems. And we could do anything. How did this happen? It was all on the basis of Malthus that there was the working assumption that there'd never be enough to go around, that it had to be Yours or Mine, it could not be both.

On the sea and in the sky, yes; and the airplane was a beautiful series of victories of doing more with less, or more with the same. It was fantastic, what you could get out of the same power system in the sky, and you could get even more electronically.

''So I said I find that people don't even know what buildings weigh, let alone what is the performance per pound. What is this building really supposed to do? Well, people say that it is merely designed to make money. Then I say that this money concept came out of a great complexity of nature regenerating life through the vegetation. Here you are growing corn but you need some shoes on you, so somebody else making shoes-- he made more shoes than he could wear, and you're growing more corn, and here we began to have some way of exchanging. And we had a very complex way of exchanging all the things you get into in those tools. So we get into money as a central way of accounting; and with the market, set some values-- but we didn't really know how to assess those things properly. In the end there was a way, because every time we held them up they gave more performance.''

"The greatest poem ever known

Is one all poets have outgrown:

The poetry, innate, untold,

Of being only four years old.

"Still young enough to be a part

Of Nature's great impulsive heart,

Born comrade of bird, beast, and tree

And unselfconscious as the bee--

"And yet with lovely reason skilled

Each day new paradise to build,

Elate explorer of each sense,

Without dismay, without pretense!

"In your unstained, transparent eyes

There is no conscience, no surprise:

Life's queer conundrums you accept,

Your strange divinity still kept.

"Being, that now absorbs you, all

Harmonious, unit, integral,"

"It would be very easy to integrate the jet streams and all the forces operating what's the most economical from here to there. I certainly couldn't help looking at it as a whole. Then I would begin thinking about a trolley system for the whole Earth. Everything would really go with the prevailing winds as much as possible. As much as possible I'd get it West to East: go around one way and not try to go both ways. You might find it really very quick if we began to get into some of the advances coming in, getting to the most economical way of handling affairs. So I'm going to see whether it really pays to buck headwinds, which maybe you'd never need to. It's very, very important, the big picture."

Motion is visual music made possible by the spontaneous retention in the brain of a series of separate still picture frames of our separate sense experiences scanned and reviewed in the brain at a vastly accelerated sequence rate. Our brain discovers that each successive electromagnetic picture is just a little different from the ones before and our dawning awareness of that increasing difference constitutes our motion sense."

Man cannot see his own spaceship's motion, nor the motion of any of the celestial entities, nor any of the atom's component motions. He cannot even see the big hands of the clock move, nor see the tree grow. Likewise the span of his sensorial tuning-in capability, within the vast ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum of physical realities, is minuscule. Only through detection of the generalized principles operative within the special-case experiences, which his sequence of afterimage senses do apprehend, is man able to devise step-up and step-down frequency and velocity transforming instruments which can convert the nondirectly-tunable frequencies into his sense-tunable range, and thus is man able to learn about the invisible behaviors of his universal relationships."

All co-occurring vectors have unique angles of direction as angularly referenced multidimensionally to a given observer's system axis, spin orientation, and system-orbit direction at the time of observation. All angularly referenced relationships inherently involve fourth-dimensional accommodation (and fifth-power accommodation when referenced to the cosmic scenario). These relationships can be conceptually comprehended in synergetics but can be expressed only in complex formula terms in the XYZ-cgs system."

Quantum mechanics assumes conservation: Energy can be neither created nor lost. Cosmic energy is plural or synergetic unity: there may be infrequent big events or frequent little ones. Multiplication can be only by division. "The show opens with only experimentally demonstrable physical proofs. All proofs--and their explicitly manifest whole rational numerical values--derive exclusively from subdivision of the minimum-physical-system tetrahedron. There is no multiplication involved in the refractionation of minimum structural systems of Universe." - Cite SYNERGETICS 2 draft at Secs. \hrefhttps://www.buckyverse.org/en/synergetics/content/chapters/100-synergy#section-100.07100.07 +.08; 20 Jan'77

"If expanded by unit radius, sphere-colonized, omniembracing, concentric layer multiplication, additional new locally operative nuclei are progressively born with every four successive concentric generations of symmetrical omniembracing layer multiplication.

"We've always played musical chairs. You start with 100 people and 99 chairs. Well, you could play it another way. You could start with one chair and a thousand people. That was the old condition on Earth. But then you begin manufacturing a few more chairs. The players increase but the chairs increase faster. Now we know that the chair manufacturer can make enough for everybody to sit down. When there was only one chair you felt pretty god damn exclusive when you sat down."

Mutual Survival Principles:

"It is mathematically probable that the unprecedented physical and geographical magnitude of the United Nations' war effort will win a military advantage over the unprecedented military challenge to the as yet adolescent cause of democracy.

"However, the educated individual, thinking responsibly upon the problems that confront personal, family, state, and national fate, if not survival of the human race itself, is well aware that a military advantage gained over the enemy, no matter how tactically incisive, cannot represent a solution to the greater problems in principles governing a workable system of mutual survival.

"The unheeded challenge of these overgrown mutual survival problems themselves precipitated the war. Rather than diminishing in the emergency, they have been heightened in degree of general recognition and of popular language definition. Because the problems are now total in scope and therefore astronomical in dimensions, there is a tendency to assume that the answer must be found in physical plans of unprecedented might.

"In contradistinction to the latter assumption, the body of though here presented holds that solution lies not at all in physically Gargantuan innovation but rather in the direction of exquisite and delicate universal attunement of the individual and ergo of society in general, to truths and principles everywhere at hand.

"While some of these principles have already been theoretically accepted, few have been realistically digested, because they have never been compounded to reveal their integrated dynamic significance.

"It is the second principle of this thesis that no one can 'tell' another something they do not already know. One can report events to others, but beyond that one can only communicate developing awareness of the significance in phenomena also experienced similarly by others. Significance-- itself a relative phenomenon--is developed by correlation. And significance is increased by compound correlations.

"If the reader will take heed of each of the first ingredients of the problem--no matter how seemingly familiar--the whole thesis will soon move to form into subassemblies of significant thought. Ultimate function of the subassemblies of significant thought, if not at first obvious are soon intuitively recognized. This in turn will develop progressive awareness of a dramatic grand ensemble of principles governing total world economic integration by science-paced industry.

"The third principleof this thesis differs widely from the popular misconception that man has 'built up a body of knowledge' as a synthetic stockpile of mental stuffs accumulated on shelves of brick buildings requiring experts and even colossal mentalities to interpret. This third principle has it that the universal phenomena always exist-- that man out of a chaotic sensorial relationship to his Universe, has" from time to time transcended his confused self-preoccupation"

Incasting vs. Broadcasting:

"... There are great varieties of periods of nonmeshing which altogether make the physically observed totality appear to take up ever more room, anywhere within which expansiveness the locally predominant events occurring within short spans of time appear to be omnidisorderly.

"When we compound that realization with the now-known millionfold greater span of electromagnetic reality and the lesser span of direct sense ranging of the human organism, we begin to comprehend how readily humanity falls into the trap of dismay, fear, and negativism in general.

"Impatience engenders further myopically disorderly incrementation of information receipts. Those who are impatient for the receipt of the next news broadcast are only beguiled by negative information. That is what myopia looks for. Chronic short-sightedness spontaneously seeks and tunes in only the broadcasted entropy. Syntropy incasts in contradistinction to entropic broadcast. Syntropy can be apprehended only through overall or comprehensive review of the totally recalled information of long-term experience."
