Race
Index Entry
There is no race other than the human race.
Those who look superficially different
Are the consequence only
Of millenniums of isolation, attrition inbreeding
And inbreeding of the survival types
Under unique environmental conditions.
If, in fact, there were different races
No political contriving
Could close the psychological gap.
But in fact
There is only one race.

Race (1)
Index Entry
Race:
"University stir-ups, also greatly heightened by the cold-war-stimulated awareness of a century of nonfulfilment of the U.S.A. war for the emancipation of Blacks, and the economic and cultural bans which prolong the racist discriminations against nonwhites... with Blacks skillfully persuaded into activism...
"I well remember the sense of exultant camaraderie which I experienced in 1907 when entering 'Upper School' at Milton Academy. I discovered that the big boys were derisively displeased with the headmaster and, in learning that he was to resign, went into a townwide riot of joy. How I whooped and danced and ran with the others, knowing absolutely nothing of the merits or demerits of the case against the maligned and dishonored 'Head.' This gives me insights into the mass actions of today's students.

"There is no social class distinction, no genetic difference: only history-long brain damaging by undernourishment between conception and one-year old. There is no race differentiation, only a bleach-out of hibernating skin-covered, sub-freezing dwelling zones: Swarthy pink; Sailor mew; Crossbreed-- and go into the north to remain as Eskimos. Finns and Scandinavian blondes-- millenniums of tribally inbred long arctic night hibernators. Man, born naked prior to invention of clothes, stayed in temperate zones where his nakedness was tolerable; but going from Polynesia westward across the Indian Ocean into arid Africa, he became greatly blackened on his topsides, but his hands and feet bottoms and fingernail-shielded skin stayed 'white man's' pale pink. White's are bleached out colored people who are the normal people. The undernourished cereal-roots- nuts- and bread-eating poor, constituting 99.9 percent of history-long humanity, thought to be not only illiterate, but incapable of becoming literate, due to an assumed innate 'dumbness' of the masses. Nobility was assumed, by self and commoners, to be a kind of god-contrived, different genetic breed; ergo it was required that the king's sons, daughters,"

"nephews, and nieces marry only sons and daughters of royal or noble stock, whether they be friend or foe.
"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.'
"For only the last ten years of human history, since 1960, have we known beyond scientific doubt that the 'mass dumbness'

Had the Greeks originally employed a universal model of x-dimensional reality as their first tool upon and within which they could further inscribe and measure with their divider, scriber, and straightedge, they would have been able to arrive at unity of circumferential as well as radial modularity. This would have been very convenient to modern physics because all the accelerations of all the constantly transforming physical events of Universe are distinguished by two fundamentally different forms of acceleration, the angular and linear accelerations.

Radial-Circumferential Modularity
← Radial-Circumferential Modularity | Radial-Circumferential Modular Growth →
Index Entry
Radial-Circumferential Modularity:
"The linear measurements represent the radial going-away accelerations or resultants of earlier or more remote events as well as of secondary restraints. The rigid rectilinear angularity of the 90° central angle XYZ mensuration instituted by the Greeks made impossible any unit language of direct circumferential or peripheral coordination between angular and linear phenomena. As a consequence, only the radial and linear measurements have been available to physics. For this reason physics has been unable to make simultaneous identification of both wave and particle aspects of energy events."

Radiation:
"Radiation distributes energy systems outwardly in omnidiametric directions. Radiation fractionates whole systems into multidiametrically dispatched separate packages of the whole. The packaging of spherical unity is accomplished by radii-defined, central-angle partitioning of the spherical whole into a plurality of frequency-determined, simplest, central divisioning, thus producing a plurality of three-sided cornucopias formed inherently at minimum limit of volumetric accommodation by any three immediately adjacent central angles of any sphere of any omnitriangulated polyhedron. The threefold central-angle vertex surroundment constitutes the inner vertex definition of a radially amplified tetrahedral pack of energy; while the three inner faces of the package are defined by the interior radial planes (there is a great-circle plane common to any two radii) of the sphere of omnidiametric distribution; and the fourth, or outermost, face is the spherical triangle surface of the tetrahedron which always occurs at the radial distance outwardly traveled from the original source at the speed of radiation, symbolized as lower-case c."

The waves can go on forever in Universe--
Unless they hit some object,
And when they hit an object they lose some energy
Then bounce away
And keep going

Radiation Sequence:
"And we've got no help at all from the stars because they're all areas where the Universe is increasingly disorderly, giving off enormous amounts of radiation in strange kinds of Sun rays, and so forth-- great Sun spots, which we begin to find have some regularity. But you and I didn't know that regularity before because, in a sense, it was so infrequent-- whatever it might be. We didn't have observation to know there were Sun spots up to yesterday.
"Then all the physical is the visible, astronomical world where we use the optical telescope to give us the information. Optical means we're using that disorderly radiation to identify the positioning of the stars. . . So, looking around for some phase of Universe where energies are contracting and becoming increasingly orderly, we find the only example that we really know much about is our own Earth. We do know that in the last International Geophysical Year that we're collecting somewhere around 100 tons of stardust daily. And we're finding our radiation from all the stars, the cosmic radiation-- and primarily from the Sun-- is not just bouncing off our Earth at all, but being impounded as energy. The radiation to start off with is in the Van Allen belts."

"Then the atmosphere bends that radiation very readily so that it gives us the red-yellow-orange-green-blue-violet colors themselves. Then when the radiation gets to the water--three-quarters of the Earth being covered with water-- you see how much it is bent simply by putting a pole into the water and looking at the bending of it. . . There's bending, bending, bending until finally the radiation is so bent it gets now impounded horizontally into the surface of the water around our Earth, and we get these horizontal moving streams such as the Gulf Stream, the great warmth. We have then the enormous impounding of the energy of the Sun in just the heating of the atmosphere, bringing about all our storms, the various low pressures and high pressures depending the heating is being impounded by large moisture concentrations or low.
"And so this enormous energy is being collected here, and this radiation then is atomizing the ocean, and then it gets dropped back again, pulled back by gravity as rain. And we find then vegetation operating; vegetation on the dry land and algae in the sea, impounding the energy of the Sun by photo-synthesis."

". . . I give you then a tetrahedron which has an external and an internal: a terminal condition . . . You get to the outside and you turn yourself inside out, and come the other way. This is why radiation then does not go off into a higher velocity. Radiation gets to a maximum and then turns itself inwardly again-- it becomes gravity. Then gravity comes to its maximum concentration and turns itself and goes outwardly-- becomes radiation."

"The complementarity of the great regenerative pattern is geometrically omnimanifest as gravity and radiation. The radiation radiates infrays, or lines, of spherical, energy-source radii. These may be cross-sectionally conceptualized as the radially packed staves of a wooden barrel that try to escape outwardly from the barrel's center. Gravity, however, like the steel bands encircling the barrel's girth, operates embracingly. The individual barrel stays, like the radii, try to go out, to disintegrate; but the finitely closed, circumferential gravity hoops operate integratively, embracingly. The 92-million miles distant Sun's rays impinge approximately in parallel on only one hemisphere of the Earth at a time, while gravity embraces our entire planet, all cosmic systems from all around being equally effective, for instance, on the shadow hemisphere of Earth. Gravity has no shadow. Gravity is uninterferable; radiation is interferable. Gravity is omnidirectional, mass interaction, which, as Newton discovered, is directly interproportional relative to the respective mass involved, and varies as the second power relative to the interproximities of the respective bodies considered: Halving the distance between any two will fourfold their interaction."

Radiation-Gravitation Sequence:
"All the Universe is in motion, and all the effect of bodies in motion on other bodies in motion are what we call 'precessional.' Precession and mass-attractive gravity convert centrifugal into orbital motion. And precession always affects the motion of other bodies in directions other than 180 degrees, not toward or away from one another but at approximately 90 degrees to the line between the most powerfully interprocessing of the bodies. Holding a string in your hand, which, like mass attraction, is fastened to a weighty object on the other end, you precess this object into orbit around you by axial rotation of your body. Thus the precessional effect of the axially rotating Earth on the Moon is to make the lesser mass go into orbit around the greater.
"Mass attraction and precession cooperate synergetically to affect all of the Universe: 99.9999 percent of all entities of the Universe are in orbit around some other spinning entity, macro- or micro- cosmic in scale. And once in a while some of the entities accelerate so congruently close to one another that their inter-mass-attraction renders the precessional effect negligible, and the lesser body falls into the greater."

"You and I are going around the Sun at 60,000 mph. So too is the Earth. We are so close to our Earth that gravity makes us 'fall in' in orbiting company. Little children find gravity forever pulling them in toward the Earth's center; although they know nothing about gravity they feel it pulling them to the floor. All of the Earth's biological organisms respond so powerfully in a linear manner to the gravitational effect that it is much like the organisms being linearly programmed to a specialized behavioral program. Thus we fail to realize that gravity really works as circumferentially embracement. We find everything operating at 90 degrees tangent while humanity fools itself into thinking that it accelerated the object in a 180-degree direction. Because of this, humanity has come to think illogically in 180-degree, straight-line, ways. The fact is that entities are always traveling away at 90 degrees from the direction at which we are aiming.

The speeds of all the known different phases of measured radiation are apparently identical despite vast differences in wavelength and frequency. Einstein's adoption of electromagnetic radiation expansion- omnidirectionally in vacuo-- as normal speed suggests a top speed of omnidirectional entropic disorder increase accommodation at which radiant speed reaches its highest velocity. This highest velocity is reached when the last of the eternally regenerative Universe cyclic frequencies of multi-billions of years have been accommodated, all of which complex of nonsimultaneous transforming multivarietied frequency synchronizations is complementarily balanced to equate as zero by the sum totality of locally converging orderly and synchronously concentrating energy phases of scenario Universe's eternally pulsative, and only sum totally synchronous, disintegrative, divergent, omnidirectionally exporting and only sum totally synchronous, integrative, convergent and discretely directional individual importings.

"The speed of light had been measured linearly in a tube-- this is the speed of light in any one direction from its source. But radiation is called radiation because it goes in all directions from its source unless reflectively beamed. When we double the linear dimensions of any object-- the surface of the symmetrically amplified system grows as the second power of the linear. Science had to choose the lower-case letter c to represent the speed of the radiation linearly, to arrive at the rate at which it grew in an omnidirectional spherical way-- the rate at which the surface of the omnidirectional radius increases as the second power of the radius-- or linear speed: c^2."

"Today I have given you some fundamental structural principles and subsequently shown you their use by nature. I didn't, however, start by studying these structures of nature seeking to understand their logic. The picture of the radiolaria has been available for 100 years, but I didn't happen to see it until after I had produced the geodesic structures from the mathematical sequence of developments which I reviewed with you earlier. In other words I did not copy nature's structural patterns. I did not make arbitrary arrangements for superficial reasons. What really interests me therefore in all these recent geodesic tensegrity findings in nature is that they apparently confirm that I have found the coordinate mathematical system employed in nature's structuring.

"This is one of the geodesic radomes tested for the Arctic. They are made out of polyester fiberglass and the diamond-shaped, paneled pieces are made with bolt holes in their adjacent flanges. All the mathematics must be done very accurately to permit these pieces to be interchangeably bolted together. We hold our spherical trigonometry calculations to an accuracy of 1/1000 of a second of circular arc. The geodesic radome structures go up in an average of 14 hours each in the Arctic.
"Our Air Force Radomes were installed in the Arctic mostly by Eskimos and others who had never seen them before. The mass production technology made assembly possible at an average rate of 14 hours each. One of these radomes was lent by the U.S. Air Force to the Museum of Modern Art in New York City for an exhibition of my work in 1959-1960. It took regular building trades skilled labor one month to assemble the dome in New York City.

production of industrialization without an original investment of vast capital effort of work and that original capital came first and long ago from serfdom or outright slavery. In order to bring industrialization to benefit comprehensively emancipated man, you must have mass purchasing power, which in due course will underwrite automation, which in turn will eventually produce so much wealth as to be able to free man's time for further education and research to increase the wealth long generated by unimpeded automation. American labor will not yield that unimpedement until it is clearly demonstrated that all men will prosper directly by doing so. American labor did bring about the vast purchasing power in industry, but in so doing it established all kinds of rules which inadvertently protected the obsolete inefficiencies of building.
When the kind of structure which goes up in the Arctic in 14 hours takes a month in New York City, clearly there has been an inordinate shunting of social wealth in a direction in which legitimate value was not added to the product.

We are going to have to bring industrial mass purchasing ability to all of humanity. But first we are going to have to get labor rates evened up all around the world in order to have every man's raw time worth as much as any other man's time when translated into purchasing power per kilowatts or pounds of specific metal goods. Next we are going to let automation take over after we find ways to pay everyone dividends from its wealth making to keep up purchasing power at a maximum and thereby to regenerate the industrial evolution advance."

(1) All those relatively too large or macrocosmic events of Universe which must clearly occur outside the presently thought-considered tunable range capabilities and are therefore outside the timable system set; and
(2) All those relatively too small, negligible, microcosmic clan which occur inherently within and infra to the tunable frequency and relative size ranging of the considered set.
"We may define structure as a local and finite system of energy events of physical Universe consisting of a patterning of interaimed or intervectorially frequency-synchronized, associative and disassociative interferences omniprecessionally resulting as a pattern-regenerative constellation of system-inward-angled vectors, in dynamically symmetrical, precessional constellar equilibrium."

"Radomes provide means for automatically excluding weather and including local warmth and dryness. They should admit the widest possible spectrum of electronic wave frequencies.
"Omnitriangulation is implicit in the requirement for greatest strength with minimum structure. Omni-orientation of focal points of structure is at the most symmetrical equivalence of interdistancing. The structure's vectorial components converge at the vertexes, i.e. points, of the system. The triangular relationship of all points of any system show a constant relative abundance in which, of the total number of points, two are recognized as the poles of the system.
"The principle of constant relative abundance of topological features of all omnitriangulated systems, provides:
N - 2 = number of nonpolar vertexes;
(N - 2)2 = number of triangular faces
N - 2 = number of diamond faces
(N - 2)3 = number of edges, i.e., compressional or tensional vectors

"Whereas compressional functions of structures are inherently the most dense and obstructive of electric wave trapping, convergence should be kept at a minimum with the vector edges leaving the maximum number of wholes. Triangles are minimum holes. We can however have triangular interconnected hex-pent holes. The frequency of triangular relationships of approximately symmetrical point systems may be elected over a wide range. Therefore we choose a layout of triangles which will provide maximum weather exclusion and nondeterioration of structures and optim installability. This calls for low frequency tensile integrity and islanded compression with booms which are optimum to site handling gear, in respect to which pneumatic lozenges can be omni-interconnected and applied into a unitary double skin.

Raft:
"The origins of the raft are simple: take a man standing on the bank of a river. He falls in but he doesn't know how to swim. If he grabs a stone he will sink but if he hold on to a large enough piece of wood it will support him. Next we take a man climbing on to a floating log. He notices that it rolls so he tumbles back into the water. But if it has a big enough branch or a smaller branch that falls across another log, he will be able to stand up. This is a basic raft. If this raft consists of two logs separated by a distance like an outrigger, the resistance is much less if the wind is blowing on the sides. Therefore it will move in that course since everything goes in the direction of least resistance."

"If you were part of the very early world that drifted on rafts, with currents and with the winds, you just rarely came back to anything that you were familiar with. The patterns were very, very large and you just kept sweeping on, and you could say goodbye to those people and you never ever saw them again. Because you were saying goodbye to people and never seeing them again, the phenomena really of life and death-- you are alive and they are alive, but you never see them again-- so life and death to those people did not have the distinction that it had later on. If you never came to anything that you recognized, you would not then recognize any really fundamental pattern. Furthermore, there were some patterns of stars in the sky, but you didn't get the same orientation of them ever again, so you don't tend to recognize that pattern. If you were, however, some of the early people who went offshore and accomplished some of the sailing with the beginning of the ability to navigate tow windward, when sailing ships first developed the ability to work to windward, you could retrace your steps, and if you did retrace your steps, you would then begin to get the same star patterns that you had before. You wouldn't have any islands or anything around you, but one thing that would be familiar is that you would get the same

Now I have found that nature insists on doing things most economically. We find that energy insists on following the convex surface. It has to follow the great circles. We find the 25 great circles of symmetry of the VE have a very interesting characteristic: every one of them goes through the 12 vertexes. The 12 vertexes are made out of spheres in closest packing, packed 12-around-one. These are the points of tangency of spheres in closest packing. We have here 25 railroad tracks by which energy can go from here to there anywhere in the Universe in the shortest possible way and it is the only way it will go. Thses are the only possible transfers from here to there. So then if you want to go from here to there in the Universe, you have to follow these surfaces and you have to go through these contact points. So these 25 great circles represent a very special set of events because some of them, for instance the four great circles go through six vertexes; three great circles only go through four vertexes, etc.; they have different opportunities to peel off. They require different frequencies. I think

"Now the same sphere could become the icosahedron. . . It has the only great circles we have which don't go through the transfer points. Then they are not in agreement any more. When they get into an icosahedron you can shut off the energy supply and any waves would start going through the system and vector equilibrium would go through it."

"The shortest distance between points on the surface of a sphere are the great circles. They are called the geodesic lines and inasmuch as there is no such thing as a straight line and we are working in some kinds of developing surfaces, the great circles are called geodesic lines. We are now getting into the axes of spin which are inherent in any system. We found that systems could be joined up /See Rubber Tires/ and they develop axial aspects, but they don't frustrate the rest of the Universe.
"Now we are very interested in the kinds of great circles which are developed by the various spins because they must have some kind of important relationship. We saw that if we had twelve spheres in what we call closest packing-- if you wanted to go the shortest distance between points on the surface of spheres-- supposing you were an electric charge, an electron. We make great copper spheres, the old Van de Graaff generators and so forth, you could build up enormous charges of electricity on the surface of this sphere."

Great Circle Energy Tracks on the Surface of a Sphere:
"The charges never try to go on the concave side of this sphere. They always stay on the convex side. You run into this kind of behavior just in trying the electroplate phenomenon. You will find that you cannot plate the concave side. You automatically electroplate the convex side. The convex side goes into higher tension which means that it is actually thinner and therefore less resistant and therefore the energy tries to follow the convex surfaces. Supposing you were the kind of energy that always follows the convex kind of surfaces and yet, being energy, you always have to do it the shortest way. You want to go from sphere to sphere on the surface of the sphere so you would have to take the great circles at the points where the spheres touch one another and therefore you would take the great circles of them. Therfore those 25 great circles are very important because they are all the possible great circles that carry all the traffic between the twelve points-- they are all the possible geodesic railroads. With that kind of energy which always has to follow surfaces, these are the railroad tracks that you would have to follow. . . "

Railroad Tracks: Great Circle Energy Tracks on the Surface of a Sphere: Convex and Concave:
"Dr Einstein pointed out that you could be the little man in the Universe who always went from sphere to sphere and through the points of tangency. You lived inside the concave surface of a sphere and you could get to the point of tangency in the next sphere, and the next sphere, concavely, and you could go right through the Universe that way. Or you could be the little man who lived on the outside of the sphere, and always lived convexly, and you came to the same point of tangency and you went on. This is one way of looking at Universe and the sphere is another way of looking at Universe. This is typical of not being fooled by just looking at the spheres-- or just looking at the little triangle locally on the surface of your big sphere where you had your big triangle. This is beginning to give us ways of seeing the complementarity at all times."

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

Triangular Systems of Energy Networks.
"In any network high energy charges refuse to take the long way round to their opposite pole. They tend to push through, the separating space, striving to 'short.' Thus energy will automatically triangulate via a diagonal of a square, or via the triangulating diagonals of any other polygon to which the force is applied. Triangular systems represent the shortest, most economical energy networks. The triangle is the basic unit of energy configurations, whether occurring as free energy or as structure."

Upon the premise that the sumtotal human desire to survive is dominant over the sumtotal of the impulse to destroy, this book is designed. it does not seek to provide a formula to attainment. To do so would develop dogma and nullify the process of individual rationalization that is utterly essential for growth.
"Rationalization is an act similar to walking through a half-frozen, marshy, unexplored country to mark out a trail that others may eventually follow. It involves not only the familiar one-two progression of shifting the weight and balance from one foot to the other, but an unknown quantity progression of selective testing to avoid treacherous ground before putting full weight upon the forward foot.
"Rationalization is a time-word to replace 'thinking,' which is an ancient, mystically evolved word tentatively signifying an attempt to force the power of god into one's self. Rationalization connotes a constant, selective balancing of relative values, gained from experience, for the purpose of harmonious, inclusive recomposition and subsequent extension.

Rationalization Sequence:
"It is central to my philosophy that everything in the Universe
is constantly in motion, atomically if not visibly,
and that opposing forces throughout this kinetic picture are
always in neat balance; furthermore, that everything invariably
moves in the direction of least resistance.
"The history of man's creative effort is the story of his
struggle to control 'direction' by the elimination of known
resistances.
"To the degree that the direction of least resistance is controlled
by vacuumizing the advance and de-vacuumizing the wake, the
course of society can be progressively better charted and
eventually determinable with a high degree of certainty.
"The creative control, or streamlining, of society, by the
scientific-minded (the right-makes-mightiest) is in direct
contrast to attempts by scheming matter-over-mindists (the
might-makes-rightist) to control society by increasing, instead
of lessening, resistance to natural flows through such devices
as laws, tariffs, prohibitions, armaments, and the cultivation
of popular fear.

"By controlling direction it becomes possible, scientifically, to increase the probability that specific events will 'happen.'
"Preparation of the material herein set forth dates from the very beginning of my experience. Up to a point in that experience I lived by the common code of loyalty and good fellowship with all of its convincing and romantic 'tradition.' Then, through my own particular quota of important slaps in the face, it became apparent that in 'tradition' lies fallacy, and that to be guided in conduct and thought by blind adherence to tenets of tradition is, as said in slang, bravely to 'stick the neck out.' I realized that experience is the vital factor, and that, since one can think and feel consciously only in terms of experience, one can be hurt only in terms of experience. When one is hurt, then somewhere in the linkage of his experience can be discovered the parting of the strands that led to the hurt. Therefore it follows that strict adherence to rationalization, within the limits of self-experience, will provide corrections to performance obviating not only for one's self, but for others, the pitfalls that occasion self-hurt. By cultivating the ability to rationalize in the absolute, one acquires the power of so ordering experience that truths are"

"Rationalization alone, however, is not sufficient. It is not an end in itself. It must be carried through to an objective state and materialize into a completely depersonalized instrument-- a 'pencil.' (Who knows who made the first pencil? Certainly not Eberhard Faber or 'Venus.') The pencil not only facilitates communication between men, by making thought specific and objective, but also enables men cooperatively, to plan and realize the building of a house, oxygen tent, flat iron, or an x-ray cabinet by virtue of the pencil's availability. The inventor, alive or dead, is extraneous and unimportant; it is the 'pencil' that carries over. Abstract thought dies with the thinker, but the mechanism was building for a long time before the moment of recognized in-vention.

The reason for exposing myself to possible suspicion of 'mysticism' is to show how important it is to transcribe the faint thought messages coming into our personal cosmos at the time of occurrence-- sketchy and puzzling though they may be-- because time, if well served, will turn them into monkey-wrenches and gas torches.
"The title 'Nine Chains to the Moon' was chosen to encourage and stimulate the broadest attitude toward thought. Simultaneously, it emphasizes the littleness of our Universe from the mind viewpoint. A statistical cartoon would show that if, in imagination, all of the people of the world were to stand upon one another's shoulders, they would make nine complete chains between the Earth and the Moon. If it is not so far to the Moon, then it is not so far to the limits-- whatever, whenever, or wherever they may be.

"After all,' Jeans said, 'it is man who asked the question.' The question is survival, and the answer, which is unit, lies in the progressive sumtotaling of man's evolving knowledge. Individual survival is identifiable with the whole-- as extension or extinction. There is no good country doctor on Mars to revive those who, through mental inertia, are streamlining into extinction."

We don't know how we retrieve information from our brain. The conscious part does some triggering; it acts as a valve; it can be a brake or it can be an accelerator. But the conscious part is less than one-millionth of the retrieval process. The rest is subconscious. There is an automatic process. When we can't remember a name the brain doesn't forget we asked the question, although maybe we have forgotten. But the lags are variable, and therefore the feedbacks are not orderly. The only conscious part is the holding back of irrelevancies. And this is true of reading, too.

Reading:
Q. "Mr. Fuller, you're quite a traveler. Where do you find the time and the places to read?"
A. "Obviously airplanes and airports are great places, as are hotel rooms very late at night. I'm convinced you can't put out if you don't put in. In other words, thinking does come from experience. Reading increases the number of experiences from which you may gradually adduce generalized principles. I am now fairly aware of what my conscious part is in this very complex system called thinking. That conscious part, which is only one-millionth of the picture, can do some triggering, can be a brake or an accelerator, a valve that can shut off or turn off a process.
"We experience different rates of retrieval of information. Even in my vocabulary and in my reading, there are lags, and when people talk about speed reading, it's really just a means of diminishing the lag. I'm not interested in speedreading, but rather in content and understanding. But I find the subconscious is very powerful.
"During 1938-1940 I was consultant in science and technology to the editor of Fortune magazine, and my function was to emphasize the science foundations of great industry.

"What the mathematicians have been calling abstraction is reality. When they are inadequate in their abstraction then they are irrelevant to reality. The mathematicians feel they can do anything they want with their abstraction because they don't relate it to reality. And, of course, they can really do anything they want with their abstractions but, like masturbation, it is irrelevant to the propagation of life.
"The only reality is the abstraction of the principles, the eternal generalized principles. . . Most people talk of reality as what are just the after-image effects-- the realization lags, which register superficially and are asymmetric and off center. (The principles themselves have different lag rates and different interferences.) When we get to reality it's absolutely eternal.

"The relative abundances of reciprocally patterning principles everywhere constitute the so far discovered inventory of minimally complex, ergo fundamentally differentiable structurally regenerative universal governance. The complex of interactively accommodating principles and their relative abundance accommodation are reality-- the only reality. What man, in his sensorially preoccupied misapprehending, has termed 'abstract,' in contradistinction to sensorial, as well as that which man has designated as metaphysical in contradistinction to physical, are altogether one reality. The fact of meagerness of the experience-generated knowledge of man in respect to the omni regenerative structure of reality and the observational facts taken in the twilight zones between the meager known and the as-yet -unexperienced, in no way alters the unitary integrity of the utter interaccommodation of complex structural interaction of the principles as so far sum totally inventoried by the faithfully reported experiences of man."

Real (pronounced re-al) means royal in Spanish. Roi means king (French). Roy means grand ruler (India). All are derived from Ra or Re: Thu sun gods of India, China, Mesopotamia, and Egypt. From this comes 'the real thing,' realization, and reality, i.e., the commonly recognized experience-- ergo, real estate which was certified under royal deeds issued by the original sovereign claimant of the land. There is an official reality which is sometimes unnatural."

Of trial-and-error experience
From all of which information we have developed
A family of generalized scientific principles
Which are weightless pattern concepts.
Being weightless they are metaphysical.
From the metaphysics
We have in turn designed
Rearrangements of the physical behavior constituents
Of our omnikinetic environment scenery.
We have rearranged the scenery
In the pattern of world-around occurring power-driven tool networks
All of which teleologic process
Has produced an ever-increasing survival advantage for humanity."

"I'd like to answer one more sort of challenge we had a little earlier, and that is that I've learned not only this grand strategy of not trying to reform the individual; to assume that the individual can concentrate entirely on rearranging the scenery in permitted ways to make it more favorable for life-- to demonstrate its capabilities. I have also learned that where you see things that need to be done-- you can see the scenery can be rearranged. Your experience tells you that scenery can be rearranged to a higher advantage for man. . . And there's nobody to tell you to do it. . . You will try to do something about it, to rearrange it, and then he says, 'What have you done?' And then you explain what you've done and how it works, and then he says 'Well, that's very interesting,' but then goes right on about his regular business. Then I find that there's always an emergency, when you have to have something waiting there. So my whole strategy is-- and I've been able to live now on the frontier without anybody guaranteeing me anything, or telling me what to do-- taking the economic initiative and trying to find out what nature needs to be done."

"When you can't go any further with one thing, then you look over to another one that needs attending to, and you keep shifting from one to the other. So, at any rate, I've learned how to survive there. One of the things I do is never try to persuade anybody. I don't try to sell anything. You see what needs to be done and you do it. And you wait until a man says 'What is that?' and then you tell him what it is. For instance, I've learned that there's no use going around with pulmotors dor-to-door like a Fuller Brush man and say 'I'd like to sell pulmotors.' But all of a sudden there's some suffocation and you have to have a pulmotor in a hurry, and then it's lucky you did it. So I find that society has its emergencies. . . So you have what I call emergence by emergency. And that's what is really going on at this table with the individuals really beginning to find out how you do do it. That's the thing, not talking about it theoretically, but just really looking at what can be done-- and more than just getting the figures. This then leads to design: What are the things that need designing?"

"But as we come to explore for the fundamental principles of interpotentials and interactions called atoms, we find that , despite the astronomical number of aspects and events, only a few principles of behavior pervade the whole of Universe as, for instance, 92 tendencies to self-impoundment of energy; a fundamental inwardness and outwardness relative only to the 'system' center of observation; the corollary principles of inherent first tendencies to inward-outward pulsations and to precession, and the principles of inside-outing-- convergence-divergence, spin and counterspin, torque and countertorque tension and pressure, the biological reciprocals of Universe (and diaphragming).
"Relativity leads us toward fundamental classification of our experience and observation, in the terms of a few hierarchies of dynamic interactions and principle transformations of an all-energy, continuous-discontinuous, synchronous-dissynchronous Universe tensionally cohered, precessional of local compressive spherical energetic collections-- as (Suns) stars or planets or moons or asteroids or meteorites; and the progression of within-ward sub-sets of events of interactions at planet crust, etc., and inward to "

This all brings us by progressive collections of thoughts into a fundamental twoness of dynamic reciprocities which, internally paired, ultimately become one with outwardly paired principles of reciprocity.
"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"

The comprehensive realizer thus will come, with acceleration, to competence in rearranging forwardly anticipated events, measured in principle, and forwardly projected, in associated principles of reciprocal interaction and juxtaposition to the anticipated energetic magnitudes of variable stresses and flows.

Reductio ad Absurdum:
"The deliberately nonstraight line of synergetics employs the mathematicians' own invention for dealing with great dilemmas: the strategy of reductio ad absurdum. Having moments of great frustration, the mathematician learned to forsake looking for local logic; he learned to go in the opposite direction and deliberately to choose the most absurd. And then, by progressively eliminating the degrees of absurdity, he could work back to the not too absurd. In hunting terms, we call this quarrying his objective. Thus he is able at least to learn where his quarry is within a small area."

"Back in 1932 then, thinking that I would commit myself to only alterations of the environment-- not to 'multidisciplines' and so forth. I must never then 'talk about' anything. Whatever ideas I have I must find out how to translate them into some effect on the environment, in principle, and I must not talk about them until I have reduced them into practice and have discovered advantage for man. And I've really been able to prove to myself-- I find that bright ideas are so profuse-- but they don't get reduced to practice, you don't really know what the interactions are with the times and other environmental events. . . . So I would never talk about it until I have reduced it to practice: something physical. And somebody would say: what is that? And then I'd have the responsibility of telling them what it was. But I mustn't even ask them to look at it.

"In the Greek temple each column carries its share of the stone on top of it. Figuring the ultimate compressive weight of the stone as 50,000 psi-- which equals 25 tons-- the result is that each column can carry 1000 tons when it only has to carry 25 tons. The rest of the column is unnecessary except for stability. We can make it a cone or a tripod, like a camera tripod.
"We find the only thing holding up a Greek column was a tetrahedron.... The thorns and buds of trees are tetrahedra: concentric cones-- the wing roots of the limbs. Goethe spoke of trees as waves.
"Only the tetrahedron can become visible and invisible. This is life: life is male & female, visible and invisible, but immortal.
"Hydraulics, mechanics, and the wave connection cofunction as the bio-connection: bio-logic. (A nice name.)"

Reflection Sequence: Apple:
"I see an apple.
"The light of the Sun is reflected from the surface of an apple, after the occurrence of the spectroscopic action of light segregation through the medium of crystals on the surface of the apple.
"Not all of the energy ray tones are reflected, however. Those that are useful to the apple are absorbed by it, while the remainder, i.e., the non-useful, or nondigestible, or, more specifically, non-chemically combinable ray tones are reflected from the surface of the apple through the air to and through the lens of the human eye, where they are analyzed by the retina and telephotographed to the brain of the beholder.
"Incidentally the light that the apple gives off is a negative, that is, the opposite of the light complementary to the growth phenomenon 'apple.' It is not one of the chemical apple's actual constituents. This is something like the phenomenon of the camera film negative except that the latter is more honest than the eye's for the eye reverses light and shadow instead of properly appraising them as does the camera. In printing,"

"the black and white of the film have to be reversed in order to represent the illusion of the apple as the eye sees it. Many apples are probably blue, having taken blue from the spectrum, but the eye, taking up the rejected red, 'sees' the apple as red.
"Whether or not the eye sees a negative or a positive of the apple, light absorption and reflection are mechanical considerations because neither life nor mind activity is involved until the essence of the picture has been articulated in the 'brain' and has been automatically referred to the memory filing department (the system of which is even more complicated than the worldwide Bertillon system of finger-print identification) for comparison with all of the apple experiences of the 'see-er.' The new picture of 'apple' is laid out on the table for comparison with the whole reference file by the executive officer 'brain,' who never sees the phantom captain although under his permanent orders to lay out the file in the captain's outer study. Then 'brain' retires through the front door, closes it behind him, and the phantom captain enters from his inner sanctum to peruse the exhibit.

Having decided 'yes' or 'no,' he leaves a message for 'brain' beside the exposed file and retires."

"I developed a fundamental philosophic concept in 1927 which was that it is possible, instead of trying to reform man, to reform the physical patterns--to reform the environment in such a way as to make the physical environment patterning more favorable to the new life being born into it. It seemed possible that the new human generation, born into the streamlined environment, might quickly react by re-employing the newly designed advantages, and in so doing might establish a new level of integrity of human response to environmental stimuli whereby society might come to act in creative spontaneity to continually convert the highest knowledge born of the cumulative experience of man toward the direct enhancement of the life processes, instead of, as at present, leaving the prime social initiative for the weaponry exploiters who derive their mandate only from the negative fears born of ignorance, and the congealing inertia of that ignorant fear."

"These patterns may be described as constellar because their component events stand dynamically together like star groupings, and any event patternings which become locally regenerative are constellar patterns. It is a tendency for patterns either to repeat themselves locally or for their parts to separate-out to join severally or singly with other patterns or to form new constellations."

"Regenerative means the ability to display one form, then another, in a gamut of phases; each phase, however, like a tree ring, or a wave generated by a stone thrown into water, has its own orbit; and the various orbits progress outward or inward in concentric circles or shells.
"A seed is regenerative. A crystal is regenerative. Energy itself is an ever-regenerative patterning entity. Its forms are protean. It can appear as the breath of a hawk or coign of a cliff. It can cloak itself as radiation, as mass, as design, and as the wellspring of work. And since by fundamental law, energy can neither be created nor destroyed, its fate in the cosmic scheme is to meander through eternity in persistent, regenerative bliss."

From this it follows that a vector equilibrium can be translated into an icosahedron and vice versa. They are close relatives. Each has twelve vertexes and the same number of surface-defining spheres. And each is a model of symmetrical regularities. Each, in fact, has a place in a family of relationships which is capable of cycling through a sequence of phases, hence . . . regenerative."

Index Entry
The prime eternal law governing design science as thus-far accrued to that of the cosmic law of generalized design science exploration, is realizability and relative magnitude of reproducibility which might be called the law of regenerative design: which is, that the relative physical time magnitude of reproducibility is proportional to the order of magnitude of generalizability. Because the higher the order of generalization the more embracing and simple its statement, only the highest orders can embracingly satisfy the plurality of low-order interaccommodation conditions.
"There are several corollaries to the prime law of regenerative design durability and amplitude of reproducibility. Corollary A is: The simpler, the more enduringly reproducible. Corollary B: The special-case realizations of a given design complex correlate as: the more symmetrical, the more reproducible. Corollary C: There being limit cases of optimum symmetry and simplicity, there are simplicities of conceptual realization. The most enduringly reproducible design entities of Universe are those occurring at the min-max limits of simplicity and symmetry."

And there are likewise a minimum set of principles which interact to transform already orderly patterns into other structured patterns, and there being minimum constituent patterns which involved the complex intertransformings and structural formings of symmetrical orders and various magnitudes of asymmetrical deviations tolerated by the principles complexedly involved. There are scientifically discoverable nuclear aggregates of primary design integrity as well as complex symmetrical reassociabilities of the nuclear primary integrities and deliberately employable relationships of nuclear simplexes which designedly impose asymmetrical-symmetrical pulsativ@ periodicities."

"The most incredible thing is that in the areas where all the people are there is no power or food. . . You need food so everything comes back to electrical power.
These figures on the Dymaxion Airocean World Map projection . . . Each of the people have their hands raised and they have a number of fingers on each hand indicating how much of their time is reinvestable and how much they have to devote to survival needs. The people in this area have no time: their hands are in their fists. In the areas in the United States they have all their fingers up: they have their whole life to reinvest in the way they want to reinvest it. . . So it begins all of a sudden . . . just thinking about mobile areas and politics, you begin to see a whole Earth at once and how man is doing on whole Earth."

"This relationship analysis discloses the omniuniversal order-liness that scientific man finds to be always underlying all superficial randomness of experience. This tells us that the seeming disorder of physical entropy is only superficial and explains why metaphysical thought can always find the orderliness that engulfs the disorderliness. Disorderliness is nonthinking.

"I began to play a game of looking at relative total abundances of various patterns in various systems and looking at a daisy and looking at a tortoise and looking at a waste basket, I find that the relative abundance of the fundamental patterns called chemical elements vary quite greatly. I sort of began to play a game of relative abundance because this is a nice 100 per cent game and that is the kind of game that the physicist learned to do so ably as a synergetic capability because he was always dealing in 100 per cent. Remember that when he had an unknown percentage showing in an experiment, that is what gave him his clue to meson or whatever it might be. I found it very interesting to look at the total pattern man.

Relative Asymmetry Sequence:
"Observing that there is a fundamental complementarity, and that the complementations are rarely mirror images of one another, we find that the physical Universe is always locally entropic-- that is, it is always giving off energy in one way or another. Because each local system has its own orbiting, and its own frequencies and so forth, the ways in which they give them off are not synchronized with the others. Therefore, as they're given off, they're relatively disorderly. ... And actually calculably disorderly; they're not infinitely disorderly at all. They're not something we might call chaos. It may look disorderly to you as you look at the turbulence of a waterfall, and the water's going down there, But I've become very fascinated with the fact that I'm beginning now to understand what the different turbu- lences are. I can begin to see what the vortex is and all the interprecessional effects.
"It's no longer looking quite as disorderly to me as it used to look. Our word 'disorder' is a relative matter: it gets to be relatively asymmetrical. Relative to the symmetry of equilibrium it gets to be relatively asymmetrical, and I find that it goes to a maximum asymmetry and then comes back"

He has a sextant and a stopwatch with him and measures the angle and the amount of time, and so forth. But he sees that he himself is standing still. He is like all of the people standing on the surface of the Earth not realizing that the Earth is going around the Sun at 60,000 miles per hour. And so for him the apple seems to go in an easterly direction.
"Another man standing at a great distance simply sees the apple descend toward the Earth.
"Then a man standing very much to the north sees the apple go west-- with the motion of the train.

RBF Definitions
Relativity leads us toward fundamental classification of our experience and observation, in terms of a few hierarchies of dynamic interactions and principle transformations of an all-energy, continuous-discontinuous, synchronous-dissynchronous Universe tensionally cohered, precessional of local compressive spherical energetic collections--as (Suns) stars or planets or moons or asteroids or meteorites; and the progression of within-ward sub-sets of events of interactions at planet crust, etc., and inward to the 92 common principles of atomic convergence of energy in principle, and the pervasive sets of dynamic associations by contraction, expansion, spin, orbit, torque, push, and pull, and precession. This all brings us by progressive collections of thoughts into a fundamental twoness of dynamic reciprocities which, internally paired, ultimately become one with outwardly paired principles of reciprocity."

It also involves constant reference of all the reciprocating sub-sets of the comprehensive totality of nonsimultaneous Universe, from which naught may be lost."

"...Another young lady came to me and said was I going to talk some more about these religious ideas. I really had talked a whole lot about it to you but... I had never really used the word religion. I knew what she was talking about because she spoke about some kind of faith, some confidence in an integrity and a meaning in our experience of life... The word really is 'religio.' They had come out of a set of rules of dogma, interpretations at second-, third, and fourth-handings, sometimes very remote, a thousandfold secondariness of experiences of others and thought which have occurred spontaneously to original explorers.
"I myself am quite confident that the more we know about who specifically inspired religions-- Christ, Mohamed, Buddha, and Confucius-- these may be generalized characters, but there was one or several men who at various times in history tended to have the kinds of experiences that are accounted for word by word, mouth by mouth, word of mouth. These experiences are experiences of individuals who have extreme confidence in the integrity of the invention man and the invention Universe, who in every instance find this integrity to have great power, to be a priori to human intellect."

Religion:
"None of them ever account experiencing a god in the image of man. That is one thing that Einstein was talking about in his nonanthropomorphic concept of the scientists. At any rate, they are people who experience an a priori integrity, a comprehensive anticipatory intellectual integrity greater than that of man. And they have enormous confidence in it, great faith in it, and try to help others to understand the success that they have experienced through their confidence in that integrity. At any rate, apparently these people have had such success as to have excited people by various patterns of experiences that have occurred. There are many then who in their day were excited, really very blindly and superstitiously, into subscribing to what was going on. This man was a man of powers without their trying to understand what those powers were. When they die then there were those who do better than others and they tend to become the authorities; and while they are alive they then are asked to make various recordings of what they think had been said and what the rules were. Gradually this gets thinner and thinner and we have official custodians of the information and interpretations and that is the way our religions have developed."

"As these individual explorers of the sciences went off into their laboratory and went down with their blinders on, men of enormous integrity, they said they never found anything in that particular area that seemed to confirm any of the given religions. Therefore, atheism began to develop, not as something you profess-- but there was sort of a double life. These men tended to honor their forebears, honor the literature, honor the humanism, and they would say probably the trouble is that I am such a narrow person from being in such a narrow field, that I just don't understand your other things. But there is nothing that I am doing experimentally here that seems to tell me that what the people have said about how the Universe was put together and the way it works, particularly from a religious viewpoint, that really seems to be valid. I think these people over here are dear muddleheaded people, but I am just going to have to leave them alone for my own professional part. So what has been thought of as an atheism is really just an evasion. It wasn't a declaration of againstness, and was not something against religion, but there seemed to be nothing to take its place."

"I personally interpret the word religion as being related to 'reglio' or rule. You begin with the assumption that everyone is very ignorant, and somebody much wiser comes along and says, "Darling, you're not old enough to understand. I do understand however, and I want you to believe every word I say." And you say, "All right, father, I know you love me and wouldn't mislead me or cause me harm, So I believe you. There you have an exchange that I'd call religious. it is built on subscription to dogma. You're told what to believe and you learn how to repeat it."

"In a recent study of the use of repetition in literature, Bruce F. Kawin observes that 'Events whose repetition is not extraordinary do not seem worth recording, in fact, hardly seem worth noticing.' This statement is very close to what has been the strategy of my life. This is what it means to dare to be naive. The preoccupied search for the extraordinary pattern cannot fail to obscure the larger and more obvious ordinary patterns-- so obvious that they always seemed to be missed."

"This gives me another metaphor.... It is all part of the grand strategy. You know how a pole vaulter can't do it all the first time. He has to run over the same cinder path hundreds and hundreds of times before he gets to his new record. And that's the way we should tell it in the book."

"It is the writer's experience that new degrees of comprehension are always and only consequent to ever-renewed review of the spontaneously rearranged inventory of significant factors. This awareness of the processes leading to new degrees of comprehension spontaneously motivates the writer to describe over and over again what-- to the careless listener or reader-- might seem to be tireless repetition, but to the successful explorer is known to be essential mustering of operational strategies from which alone new thrusts of comprehension can be successfully accomplished.
"To the careless reader seeking only entertainment the repetition will bring about swift disconnect. To those experienced with the writer and motivated by personal experience with mental discoveries-- co-experiencing comprehensive breakthroughs with the writer-- are not dismayed by the seeming necessity to start all over again inventorying the now seemingly lucidly relevant.
"Universe factors intuitively integrating to attain new perspective and effectively demonstrated logic of new degrees of comprehension-- that's the point! I have not forgotten that"

We must break a barrier in the kind of thinking we've been doing about the word 'research.' You have to have search before you can have research. The word research came into use in industry and business during the '20's. They started going over the things they were throwing away. They began to apply new technologies. So you searched once and exploited your findings; then you researched what you'd done and exploited it again. It was very spottily done between 1900 and World War I; research really begins in 1929. Today it covers all kinds of things. When we talk about research in a university, that's new too. The research professor is something very new. You had large corporations paying for a chair in the chemistry department and it was really a racket because what it meant was that you had a large number of people, graduate students working for you for nothing. You had a research professor giving your company very special benefits. The ulterior motives are frequently visible.
A researcher is always someone who goes over things again. He is a technician staying in one area to see what he can find. Research is very different from pure science exploration and invention. Research can just be processing and refining without

There will always be residual error to surprise man. The integration of all possibilities of the complementary alternates, though confinable, inherently defies exact identity because the minimum is pattern and not isolated integer. All pattern has inherent plurality of viewable aspects, which are the reciprocals of pluralities of permissible viewpoints, for instance, from within or from without a system. All treatable pattern is a subdivision of Universe, and disposes, in its first generalization, of the macrocosmic and microcosmic irrelevancies. Ergo, thought identification and communication to self or others must tune in a zone® system, with inherent center-of-zone, equilibrium 'sphere,' and therefore possessed of inherent wave propagative inward-outward tendency between the unstable variable limits, or infra-ultra twilights confining the clearly tunable mean interior-exterior zone limits occurring between the ultra-tunable macro-cosmos and the intra-tunable microcosmos.

Or if you take an engineers' rule and get down to hundredths of an inch a good eye can see and resolve the black from the white, but beyond that you stop operating and you sec gray. These are frequencies. From now on we really get into the phenomena of frequency-- and then you see pink and yellow. I want you to realize you are seeing something to do with frequencies, where you do not have resolution of separation and this is not at all mysterious. We realize how very limited we are, and then when we begin to see things superficially-- they are tactile-- we don't realize how much confusion we are having on an extraordinary set of frequencies."

"Our history of social customs indicates that until very recently, when Freud offered evidence to the contrary, man thought of his awake self as being utterly conscious.

There was no popular awareness of sub- or ultra-visible reality. There were beliefs of invisible gods or demons playing tricks on the humans."

""... Up to the nineteenth century, or the beginning of the twentieth century, what we could smell, see, hear, and touch was what he meant by reality. I think to many in our society today that is still what you mean by reality. Freud and Mesmer shook society's concept of this kind of reality, because man up to this time had been saying, because that is reality, every human being knows just what he is doing. If he is of sound mind, when he is awake, then he knows just what he is doing. Therefore, he must be entirely responsible for his every act. So as we developed laws, we made man utterly responsible for his every act. But Freud and Mesmer, through their hypnotism, were able to disclose behaviors of human beings for which the human being was not responsible at all. So this shook the idea of the courts, and we have had to have psychiatrists and others come in to bring you a reconsideration of the responsibilities of human beings. Now, what has really not been paid attention to in our society, again because we are all so specialized, is that there is almost no tendency to look at the whole and to really understand the whole."

Nothing stands in a vacuum of Universe. Nothing can change locally without changing everything else. We have to look for conditions where there is permitted transformability and where there is some really great unanimity of degrees of freedom. We see that certain kinds of patterns accrue from certain numbers of restraints. You could see how planar things could happen as a consequence of two restraints and how linear things could happen as a consequence of three restraints. (See \hrefhttps://www.buckyverse.org/en/synergetics/content/chapters/400-system#section-401.00401, Twelve Vectors of Restraint Define minimum System.) We see, then, that we are in a Universe where there is a certain limited number of permitted freedoms. Synergetics discovers that whatever is rigidly related to anything else discloses 12 restraints. There are a minimum of 12 restraints in developing anything we might call a rigidly related set of events.

"I've got a way of checking degrees of freedom. I said there is myself and the universe, and I see a hole in the stars. I try to shoot out through the stars. I go llike the Pleiades; the stars get closer and closer together; I seem to be very far. All the stars in the rest of the universe are in one huddle, and I am over here. . . "
"I can't get away from the universe: one tension restraint. I can do as a tetherball; you hit it and make any kind of a spherical form that you want. . . I give myself now two restraints, I only had one restraint, now I have two restraints, not as if I were a ball in the middle of a music string. I can still move but I can only move in a plane. I give myself a third restraint: I am in a drumhead; I can still move, but only in a line. Then I give myself a fourth restraint and first I am pulling the drumhead in one direction and I seem to be immobilized. . . . I found that even though semi-immobilized, you could put a monkey-wrench on it and it would contort. . .
"I had to get each one of the four restraints; they had to be three-folded and come in tangentially, making a total of 12. There would be six positive and six negative, corresponding

nothing stands in a vacuum of Universe. Nothing can change
locally without changing everything else. We have to look
for conditions where there is permitted transformability
and where there is some really great unanimity and I have
been looking for degrees of freedom-- ways in which this
could happen, the kinds of patterns that accrue to one
restraint, two restraints and so forth. You could see how
linear things could happen as the consequence of three
restraints and how planar things could happen as the
consequence of two restraints, and so forth. We then get
into a Universe of a certain number of permitted freedoms
and I have discovered that nothing was-- you might say--
rigidly related to anything else unless there were twelve
restraints so there was a minimum of twelve restraints to
develop anything we might call rigidly related set of events."

Resultant:
"Now, up to the speed of light measurement, engineers spoke of every action as having a reaction and it was thought by the engineers-- because the public didn't understand-- that every action had a reaction. Little man is so small, and Earth is so big, he doesn't realize that when he steps this way, he's pushing the Earth the other way. But you can feel it in an automobile when it accelerates rapidly, shoving the pebbles in the opposite direction. Now with the speed of light measurements, we discover while the speed of light is very great, say 700 million miles an hour. . . While, That's very fast it is very slow in contrast to no time at all. And the engineers have not updated their thinking since the speed of light. They hadn't realized the speed of light had anything to do with their action and reaction. But because there is now no instantaneity, no simultaneity, there is always some energy lag, and time is involved here. Therefore every action not only has a reaction but it has its resultant, and the resultant and the reaction are not the same. So we now realize that every energy event is characterized not only by a reaction but also by a resultant."

Reverse Optimism:
"Optimism is usually thought of as constituting a mildly unwarranted hopefulness in respect to the future. But there is a reverse projection of optimism in the nostalgia-generated myths that recall only the rare and sublime moments of yesterday. Forgetting the negative, reverse optimism overemphasizes, thus deliberately shuts its eyes to reality, and is therefore unable to see the values immediately present.
"I am convinced that we are swiftly emerging from the abysmal conformities of yesterday's illiterate, spit-punctuated profanity and monosyllabic verbalism, in which rags, filth, diseased bodies, prevalent stenches, devastating superstition, and local bias reigned supreme."

It is being effected by doing more with ever less in such a manner as to take care of all without taking away the functional capabilities and fundamental advantages of any. The surprise--constantly doing vastly more with ever fewer physical resources per function--is our legacy from the millenia-long armaments struggle to do more with less in a world where a pea-size transistor now does more than an army of yesterday and a fistful of atomic fuel takes a large ship around the Earth."

Rigidity:
D. Bohm, Foundations of Physics, Vol. 1, No.4, 1971, p.369:
"The new order and measure introduced in relativity theory implies new notions of structure, in which the idea of a rigid body can no longer play a key role."

Rigidity:
"This /thirty strut tensegrity dome_/is made out of steel turnbuckles and could be tightened into a very tight structure. As you tighten it up it simply means that the frequencies increase, it gets higher and higher pitched, and finally gets to a point where you don't seem to have any audible tone at all and you call it rigid. In other words then, what we call the rigid structures are not because they are redundant in nature, the atoms, but because they are at a non-aurally tunable frequency."

Rigidity vs. Resilience
Index Entry
Rigidity vs. Resilience:
"Rigid structural systems consist of whole or truncated interior tetrahedra. If the truncated tetrahedra are shoal enough and if the frequency of the system is high enough, the surface's structural triangles' edge legs may permit resilient bending which will allow an exterior vertex to dimple inwardly of the structural system."

Index Entry
"The chronofile persuaded me ten years after its inception to start my life as nearly new as is humanly possible to do. It persuaded me to dedicate my life to others instead of myself. Not on an altruistic basis but because the chronofile for the first 32 years of my life clearly demonstrated that I was positively effective in producing wealth only when I was dedicated to others. Further chronofile observations then showed me that the larger the number for whom I worked the more positively effective I became.
"Thus it became obvious through the chronofile that if I worked for all of humanity I would be optimally effective. Setting out to start life all over again, I did not try to make myself a new, or a different, man, another man. I sought only to allow myself to articulate my own innate motivational integrity instead of trying to accommodate everyone else's prefabricated credos, educational theories, romances, and mores that had occurred in my first life.
"One basic tenet of my new volition was that whatever was to be accomplished for anyone must never be at the cost of another. Robin Hood was a story my father read aloud to me when I was"

Index Entry
Robin Hood Sequence:
"very young, not long before my father died. Robin Hood became my most influential early years' mythical hero. This meant that in my first life I had improvised methods in general to effect swift moral and romantic justice for those whom I'd found in trouble or danger. Foolishly self-confident in my first life, I had often rushed thoughtlessly to assume responsibilities beyond my physical and legal means. This rashness led me into complex dilemmas, for in an attempt to keep my assumptions of responsibility legal, I inadvertently borrowed from my unwitting family dragging them into preposterous financial sacrifices
"In inaugurating my new life I took away Robin Hood's long bow and staff and gave him only scientific textbooks, microscopes, calculating machines, transits in industrialization and a network of tooling in general: I made him substitute new and inanimate forms for animate reform. I did not allow Robin any further public relations professionals or managers or agents to promote or sell him. It seemed obvious that if the new tools that the new Robin Hood did develop could provide valid man advantage increases, they would inevitably be adopted by society in general as the inexorable emergencies which dictate the proper rate of regenerative gestation of evolution took place."

We want to think about production and getting then films and environments under controls, separating from outside to inside. There is no way man develops such high speed production as in rolling devices that produce sheet steel at fantastic rates coming out from those rollers-- and film which can be such barriers. And the other one is paper-making. You make a number of rollers of paper and you have two of them coming together and corrugated ones in between and gluing them together, making the corrugated paper board out of half paper is very good; it has a very high wet tensile strangth-- doesn't bother it at all if it gets wet. But as you have something coming out of rolls, the roll going around, and you have another roll, and there's a printing press. So you can get some newspaper coming out. And so you can print information. . . Any kind of shapes you want, any picture. So I find then you can do any complex kind of work you want and print it right out on your paper-board as it comesout at fantastic high speed, and not only print it, you can put a little groove in it. You press the paper down, and that's the way you want it to fold. And paperboard domes can really be produced at a fantastic rate.

Over a very large period of time, I think that the total data recorded by Charles Fort from around the world may prove of great scientific worth. Above all this there is something extremely inspiring about Fort's interest in his Universe. His interest is very romantic. It isn't written in romantic terms at all, but man is full of dreams-- dreams of significance. Fort was in love with the world that jilted him. Fort, as humanity was looking for significance in experience. Fort is becoming increasingly popular with the university students who all around the world are looking for significance. Billions of young people are in love with a world whose complexity seems to be trying to jilt them. I don't think their love will be unrequited. Fort's superb humor and tenderness are communicated with economically telling skill is rarely equalled.

For the purpose of making it tauter,
I was only trying to engage the rope.

The design final twisting of the rope, when its ends are spliced together, will expose a unique number of profile humps. If the twist of the rope has 1/16th inch humps per quarter-inch of rope length, and 64 profile humps per inch, and 768 per foot; then there will be 768 times 64, or 49,152 humps in its total peripheral horizon, inside or outside: that 's a great complex of wavilinear integrations."

"I take a piece of rope and I tense this piece of rope as vigorously as I know how. And the more I tense it the tauter it becomes. When it becomes taut, it means it is contracting in its girth. This means that while I am purposely tensing it in its linear axis, it is going into compression at 90 degrees to my purposeful tensing. Compression is occurring, though I am only applying tension. You understand that? The rope is contracting, going into compression, as a consequence of my pulling it."

Rose
Index Entry
... Packages consist of complexedly interrelated and not as-yet differentially analyzed phenomena which, as initially unit cognitions, are potentially re-experienciable. A rose for instance, grows, has thorns, blossoms, and fragrance, but often is stored in the brain only under the single word -- 'rose.'
'As Korzybski, the founder of general semantics, pointed out, the consequence of its single-tagging is that the 'rose' becomes reflexively considered by man only as a red, white, or pink device for paying tribute to a beautiful girl, a thoughtful hostess, or last night's deceased acquaintance. Thetagging if the complex biological process under the single title 'rose' tends to detour human curiosity from further differentiation of its integral organic operations as well as consideration of its interecological functionings aboard our planet. We don't know what a rose is, nor what may be its essential and unique cosmic function. Thus for long have we inadvertently deferred potential discovery of the essential roles in Universe which are performed complementarily by many, if not most, of the phenomena we experience...'

Imagination "means man's communication of what he thinks it is that he thinks his brain is doing with the objects of his experience. His discovery of general conceptual principles characterizing all of his several experiences--as the rock, having insideness and outsideness, the many pebbles, having their corners knocked off and developing roundness: the thinks there could be pure 'roundness' and thus imagined a perfect sphere."

"I'd like to make good rowing available to the average man. He'd soon get tired then of having an outboard motor and just putt-putting from here to there. But the average rowing boat is a very awkward affair, so you can't blame people for staying away from them. But with rowing needles it's easy. Three good pulls, and I'm out of the harbor. The satisfaction is enormous.
"The bows are domed. With a sharp point you've got a plow pushing the water out ahead of you. This does exactly the opposite: the molecules roll off and they roll off in all directions and because they're rolling in all directions they exhaust the cone of entry and it builds up a vacuum.
"Watch a little, tiny guppy in a great tank. He gives a kick of his tail and it builds up low pressure on his nose and it sails right across the tank without any more effort at all. It opens its mouth and builds up that low pressure a little higher and it pulls it right across. I want to really exploit that capability. The bows on atomic submarines are also spherical for the same reasons. As the molecules roll, they take up more"

"The rubber glove stripped inside-outingly from off the left hand now fits only the right hand. First the left had was conceptual and the right hand was nonconceptual. Then the process of stripping off inside-outingly seemingly annihilated the left hand and created the right hand--then vice versa as the next strip off occurs. When physics finds experimentally that a unique energy pattern--erroneously referred to in archaic terms as a particle--is annihilated, that annihilation is only of the rubber glove kind. The positive becomes the negative and the positive only seems to have been annihilated. We begin to realize conceptually the finite, yet nonsensorial outness which can be converted into sensorial in-ness by the inside-outing process. Frpo, Novent is the finite but nonsensorial continuum."

"So we find that complementarity is even more complex; that there had to be not only the keyhole, but that the keyhole had to be in something. The keyhole that was in something had to be related to the rest of the Universe. So then we had a rubber glove which was stripped off this hand, which we called the left hand, fairly ignorantly, and now it fits the other hand. So where has the other one gone? Then I strip it off here and there goes the other hand.
"Quite clearly, both were there all the time, but only one of them could we detect. So there is not only the glove, which could have a keyhole, and we could put the key in that, but it would have to be in something of the rest of the Universe as well as the system we can see by. There's always a conceptual system, and there's the rest of the Universe which is nonconceptual because it's a scenario Universe and not a single frame Universe."

Rubber Tires:
"Miniature rubber automobile tires may be substituted for the triangles of the vector equilibrium to provide a model of reciprocating toruses. The eight wheels should be independently journaled but touching one another with sufficient friction so that when you move any one of them all of the eight will rotate reciprocally. We can also consider each rubber tire as a torus and we can see how they can involute and evolute at the same time the wheels are reciprocatingly rotating. This provide a model of what turbulence really is."

"You can make this model out of little automobile tires and you can run them up on the shaft and use tape to act as a thrust bearing to keep them from coming outwardly. You brought them in until each of these tires are barely touching the other tires in three points-- so it really is a triangle.
"Remember how gears work. We have a train of gears where around any hole there are always four gears, so as this wheel goes one way the other wheel can go that way very comfortably. And since there are four we find that the trains reciprocate. There is no blocking anywhere. All of the holes are four-sided so it is an even-numbered train of gears. When I rotate one wheel in this whole system all the other wheels move very neatly. They are in friction to one another. I can also hold on to one of the wheels and turn the system around it. If I do that a very interesting thing happens. ... A rubber tire can be mounted like a torus, or can be rotated outwardly like the big atomic bomb mushroom cloud-- opening in the center and coming in at the bottom. That is what we call an evolving or involuting torus. These rubber tires could do that-- and not only could they rotate around on each other this way, but it is quite possible to make

". . . . It is quite possible to make an automobile tire and mount it in such a way that it looks triangular. That is, it gets to a very small radius on its corners. I can simply take the same rubber tire and stretch it onto a triangular frame and also have the samee little roller bearings so it can involute and evolute. . . The triangular tires swell pump from being the vector equilibrium into being the octahedron, the way we saw it before, in and out again. If I were then to immobilize one part of it, if I were just holding it with one finger like this, doing this means that I won't let this one involute and evolute-- but the rest of the system, due to the rotation, is contracting to become an octahedron so it makes all the others reciprocate-- involuting and evolving so that I am able to immobilize one axis and the rest of the system can work comfortably."

"What we are learning here is something very fascinating and it means the following: That in an omnimotional Universe it is possible for me to take two moving systems-- if you have two systems-- which move four dimensionally, comfortably, the way you see those four sets of wheels, eight wheels altogether moving perfectly comfortably, but I can fasten one vector equilibrium to another by a pair of wheels, immobilizing one of them and getting one of theses axes-- the axis which is immobilized but on which the rest of the system can keep right on rolling around. By fastening one such part of the Universe literally, you don't stop the rest of the motion of Universe. That is what we are learning here.
"In all the other kinds of mechanical systems that you will ever run into on a three-dimensional basis, if anything is blocked then everything is blocked. In a four-dimensional system this is not true at all. You are able then to have one local thing occur. You can have two atoms join one another perfectly well and the rest of Universe can go right on in its motion. Nothing is frustrated but they themselves do certain polarized things in relation to one another, which begins to explain a lot of the basic joinings."

Rudder:
"The interesting thing about a rudder is that the ship has already gone by, all but the stern, and you throw the rudder over, and what you're really doing is to make a little longer distance for the water to go round; in other words, you're putting a low pressure on the other side, and the low pressure pulls the whole stern over and she takes a new direction. The same in an airplane-- you have this great big rudder up there, with a little tiny trim tab on the trailing edge, and by moving that little trim tab to one side or the other you throw a low pressure that moves the whole airplane. The last thing, after the airplane has gone by, you just move that little tab."

"Order is achieved through positive and negative, magnitude and frequency-controlled alteration of the successive steering angle. We move by zigzagging control from one phase of physical universe evolution to another. The rudder concept of social law is most apt. Norbert Wiener chose the word 'cybernetics,' derived from the Greek roots of 'rudder,' because Wiener, Shannon and others in communication theory were exploring human behaviors and their brain-controlled 'feedback,' and the like, as a basis for the design of computers, and it became evident that the human brain steers man through constant change."

"Within the grand strategy of anticipatory problem solving
to be accomplished exclusively through design transformations
of human ecology's physical environment apparatus, the
design strategems range from powerful to subtle. For
instance, instead of attempting to push the bow of an ocean
liner from one side to the other in order to steer it (as we
do the front ends of automobiles, as well as of social trend
fronts) inasmuch as the great seas also try to push the bows
to one side or the other thus tending to throw the ship out
of control, the naval architect must design in such a way that
the ship's course will not tend to be diverted by heavy seas,
yet will be steerable. To do this he designs a ship's hull
with the hinge or pivot point of the ship occurring
forwardly under the step of the bow. This makes a long
lever arm aft and a very short lever arm forward of the
pivot, and the long lever overpowers the short one as in a
weathervane 'ship.' Thus the naval architect makes the
stern of the ship (rather than the bow) swing to one side or
the other of the course. The course tends to be held
steadily by the bow. The stern tries to follow the bow in
a straight course. The keel then makes the stern follow the"

"bow when the ship is in motion. In order to change course, the stern is deliberately swung to one side or the other. This is done by the rudder at the stern which is so small as to be easily manipulated. The rudder, by making a small drag angle, creates a partial vacuum on the side of the rudder opposite to that of the direction in which the rudder is moved. This partial vacuum starts to pull the stern of the boat, which causes a much larger partial vacuum to build up on the stern quarter of the ship on the side toward which the stern swings as the ship moves through the water in this askew attitude. This vacuum is built up for the same reason that the horizontal askew attitude of a wing foil in motion through the air creates the lifting vacuum on its cambered or top surface. The reason is that it is a longer distance around the cambered askew side for the parted water to reach, as suddenly displaced by the ship's motion, which makes the longer-way-reach tense the air-interspersed water molecules creating a partial vacuum. So powerful is this partial vacuum, or negative pressure, chain reaction buildup that it can, for instance, suck-pull the 30-knot speeding hull of the 85,000 ton, Empire State Building-sized Queen Mary into a new angle in respect to the directionally fixed"

This principle of creating vacuums with minimum effort that will self-regenerate to build up large vacuums to govern very large pattern-transforming work is even more dramatically emphasized in the case of the giant jet airliners where, literally, postage-stamp size trim tabs in the trailing edges of the large vertical and horizontal ruddering surfaces are all that are used by the automatic gyro-pilot servomechanisms to keep these 100-ton sky giants hurtling along at 600 miles per hour on accurate multidimensional course despite invisible atmospheric turbulences far greater in size and velocity magnitude than those of the water ocean.

'trim-tab' size inventions we could, with least physical effort, control the least resistant directions of various fundamental transformings. This could be done by devices which would so control the angle and frequency occurrences of little vacuums and tension which could cause man's ecological patterning to evolve in preferred patterns. Designs could also detect and discretely vitiate specific subtle vacuums chain-reacting into larger vacuums and thereby holding certain transforming systems on socially deleterious courses.
"How much more powerful is the minuscule ship's rudder when in good order than a squadron of ships trying to move a rudderless ship in a heaving sea by attempting to push the rudderless one with their plunging bows in preferred directions as do tugs maneuver a big ship in still water when the ship is moving too slowly to have steerage way! Also how futile are shouted words of warning and exhortations in such situations! Only the rudder and the brain that directs the rudder are effective.
