Index Entry
The A and B Quanta Modules also have their volumetric counterparts in the nonnucleated icosahedron in the form of the S Quanta Modules--each of which is 1/120th tetrahedron of which the triacontahedron is composed. This makes the S Quanta Modules probable electron complements of the nucleated system-halvings fractionated 459 times, i.e., 4 x 459 = 1836.

S-Curve:
"Our S-curve is a very interesting kind of form. I have two S-curves and one could get in a critical proximity at one end and we would call it a triangle. . .We know triangles can be open-ended, as there has never been a closed triangle; it has always been a spiral"
"The middle positive sector of the S-curve is opposite the middle negative vector, each with its axis rotated at 90° to the other by inter=precession."

Safety Factor:
"... The big geodesic domes thus far erected have been way overbuilt by many times their logically desirable two-to-one safety factor.
"While the building business uses safety factors of four, five, or six-to-one, aircraft-building employs only two-to-one or even less because it knows what it is doing. The greater the ignorance in the art, the greater the safety factor that must be applied. And the greater the safety factor, the greater the redundancy and the less the freedom of load distribution."

Q. "What is the connection between synergetics and teleportation?"
RBF: I know of no connection between such phenomena and synergetics. Synergetics is a frame of reference for the intertransformings--I don't connect it with the metaphysical. We can identify synergetics with the electromagnetic wave propagation and that may turn out to have something to do with the physical...It's a good question. No, since I don't use 'good' or 'bad', we'll say an interesting question.
"We can scan. We have pattern integrities. The patterns can be recognized. You might be scannable like the Broadway electric light signs--in which each of the closest packed spheres might be a lightable light. It might scan your organisms but I wouldn't expect the physical body to be moved--just the events."

Scarcity
RBF Definitions
We have millions of people who no longer have anything to do on farms. We keep plowing it under. We run only eight hours on the machinery instead of 24, when it could perfectly well run 24 hours. We are doing everything we can to keep scarcity because the only thing we are familiar with is scarcity. I simply say to you that we're in an absolutely inadequate accounting system, which did relate to yesterday's agricultural perishability. The agricultural did automatically depreciate. We are now in an entirely new economy where the wealth consists of energy, the metaphysical and the physical. . . . They are not on the books of any of the corporations anywhere.”

Scenario
Index Entry
We can clarify the accurate but formidably complex definition of scenario Universe. A moving picture scenario is an aggregate of nonsimultaneous and only partially overlapping events. One single picture-- one 'frame'-- does not tell the story. The single picture of a caterpillar does not tell or imply the transformation of the creature first into the chrysalis stage and much later into the butterfly phase of its life.
When people say of Universe, 'I wonder what is outside of outside?' they are trying to conjure a unitary conception and are asking for a single picture of an infinitely transforming nonsimultaneous scenario. Therefore their question is not only unanswerable but unrealistic and indicates that they have not listened seriously to Einstein and are only disclosing their ignorance of its significance when they boastfully tell you that the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second.

"I have found a general law of total synergetical structuring which we may call the scenario principle. This law discloses that 'Universe' of total man experience may not be simultaneously recollected and reconsidered but may be subdivided into a plurality of locally tunable event foci or 'points' of which a minimum of four positive and four negative points are required as a 'considerable set'; that is, as a first finite subdivision of finite Universe."

Scheherazade Numbers: Declining Powers Of:
"My intuition about the declining powers of the primes factorial is that they reflect the way the patterns appear in nature. From my early hand and pencil calculations it is clear that you have to use the prime number five and the prime number three more often in your calculations than you use the higher number primes. And you use the three more than you would the five. Hence 3 to the 8th power and 5 to the 5th power to work out all the possible nuances within the 45-degree limit. This might be the pattern of reducing from Universe in a binary way.
"The higher powers for the first primes are to accommodate the very large numbers of calculations necessary to come up really sharp! You have tetra = 1; and octa = 2; and 5 is both the vector equilibrium and the icosahedron. This relates to the rate at which the outer shells accumulate: the prime number times two plus two. By providing enough moves for each of the low number primes you should be able to work it out by bitting with sharp results. Such a discrete method would be more elegant than a probability approach."

Q: (EJA) In the factorial primes of the Scheherazade Numbers why do you have high, but declining, powers in the first primes and no powers in the higher primes at the end of the series?
RBF: "Well the reoccurrence of the number two is very frequent. We have to provide a lot of powers for 3, 5, and 7 to take care of all the computations and permutations. But the number of times you need 43 is very low compared to the number of times you need the number 11. The powering really stops at 17, which is all you need to accommodate the octave system from 0 through 9. You have the zero to accommodate the waves. But 17 gives you all the primes up to 18 which accommodates the two nines."

This descending order of powers embraces the first eight primes (seven positive and seven negative primes.) These represent the spaces between the spheres.
"These powers have to do with the number nucleations required to accommodate 17². Seventeen is the outer shell. There are seven different magnitudes of powers involved.
"45° is the limit."

I do not like the word frame. What we are talking about is the multi-optioned omni-orderly scheme of behavioral reference; simply the most economic pattern of evolvement. Pattern of evolvement has many, many aequieconomical intertransformability options. There are many transformation patterns, but tetrahedron is the absolute minimum limit case of structural system interself-stabilizing. A tetrahedron is an omnitriangulated, four-entity, six-vector interrelationship with system-defining insideness and outsideness independent of size; it is not a rigid frame and can be any size. 'Rigid' means 'sized'--arbitrarily sized. 'Rigid' is always special case. Synergetics is sizeless generalization.

"The function of science is to prospect for total society by taking the universe apart, that is, resolve it into primary factors and elements by progressive isolation and subsequently to obtain precise measurements of the behavior characteristics of the isolated events or components.
"For example, science isolated the phenomenon fire from extraneous factors, and by isolating the constituent events and the product of events discovered that fire is not in itself an element but an accelerated combining process of a newly recognized primary element, that is, oxygen, combining with carbohydrates in ever-constant arithmetical proportion. Thus the isolation of the fire caused the subsequent isolation, recognition and naming of the new elements oxygen and hydrogen, and provided behavior measurements of the latter, by which man could predict events of combustion in such a way as to make combustion an accurate tool of technical advantage.

"As water and vapor are H2O events, the comprehensive event was a precise mathematical process. This was the beginning of purposefully produced steam as a tool. The steam engine was a victory of chemical science, not of mechanics as we have popularly supposed. However the functions of science ended with the separating out of the newly discovered elements from the universal matrix and with the measurement of the unique behavior characteristics of the respective elements (it being the unique behavior that constitutes elementality). It is readily seen that the present invocation of science to put together again the world it has taken apart, is futile in principle. Summarizing, it is the essential function of science to take the Universe apart and measure the parts and sort them into usable categories. The functioning of science is exclusive."

but the behavior itself is absolute and is progressively clarified.
Therefore, this comprehensive curve

"Many scientists of Darwin's time felt there were many parts and aspects of the Universe which had nothing to do scientifically with other parts of the Universe. In contrast to that century-ago viewpoint, the overlap of the once separate sciences now is so great that, for instance, both chemists and physicists are now primarily concerned with atoms. World War II witnessed the introduction of hyphens between the scientific categories-- bio-chemistry, for example. Now the trend to comprehensive integration is far advanced. . .
"The trend to specialization is being abruptly reversed. We are coming to a comprehensive reintegration of our knowledge. That is why suddenly the most advanced scientists are becoming comprehensivists. This will overnight make obsolete 90 percent of the overspecialized professional teachers."

We have, I am confident, the new conceptual bridge between the sciences and the humanities. Because the instrument- and mathematical-symbol-conditioned world of science has great momentum and competence in 'blind flight,' it is not going to take quickly to our new tools-- so you are the bridge builder from me to the rest of science.

"We had the first dimension all right, and the second and third dimension. But we couldn't seem to find any fourth dimension. The trouble was that in the gay nineties fourth power relationships were beginning to show up in the physics and in relation to electromagnetic phenomena. But you couldn't make a model of it. What the mathematicians found you could do was fairly nifty because in dealing with 90-degreensesa you just think about your XYZ coordinates; you think about your 90-degree angle and you have lines going out so many units from the centers. In XYZ coordinates, they were also called the quadrants; 90-degrees four times, you might call it a clock with four hours.
"One of the things the mathematicians found you could do to accommodate the seeming phenomena that was going on in electromagnetics where physical Universe seemed to be using the fourth power-- you could handle the fourth power simply by borrowing"

They found they could accommodate the fourth power mathematically but they couldn't make a model of it.
"In the nineties, then, it began to happen that the scientists said: We are sorry. We have had models up to now, and you asked me to explain what we are doing in science, and there was a model but suddenly models seemed to be invalid. Mathematics could carry on so you gave up models. That is what happened in the nineties. Not everybody knew this right away. This was not such a big fashionable thing. There were no decrees along these lines but it gradually became known that the scientists were carrying on with purely with mathematical notation and were getting along very well and they could handle invisible phenomena. They simply said: all this stuff that's invisible here is also nonconceptual. There are no models."

And there were many principles to be discovered so they could persist. The artist said: I could deal in abstracts, and so they felt they could deal in principles. So we have the leaving to the nonrepresentational art. That is a move that comes along with the invalidity of models in science. It is something we call abstraction. It really wasn't very abstract; many times it was a principle. An artist really did learn it was a principle and there would be inversions of equations and things like that. They were intuitive that conceptuality was there all the time. They had felt that there was something inadequate in the mathematics, that's all... I've found time and again that artists have very powerful intuitions. They hadn't quite learned their way around well enough in the languages of the various sciences, but I am sure they have been::intuiting that there was conceptual validity so they insisted on trying to make conceptual arrangements."

Right hand science deals in all the proven scientific formulas and experiments. Left hand science deals in the unknown and unproven, and the intellect, intuition, and imagination required in man to make it known.
"The great scientists were great because they dealt successfully with the unknown: They were left-behind scientists. Morrison says that we have been extending only the right-hand science, making it bigger and sharper. How could Congress justify appropriation of billions for dreams?

Reduction of such theoretically effective designs into physically operating structural and mechanical advantages requires even greater self-disciplining. Reduction of the physical mechanical advantage into timely and spontaneous inhibitability by our contemporarily evolving society requires patience as well as self-discipline.

Science as a Tool:
"... Science and technology are only manipulative tools like inanimate and cut-offable hands which may be turned to structuring or de-structuring. How it is to be employed is not a function of the tool but of human choice. The crisis is one of the loving and longing impulse to understand and be understood which results as informed comprehension. It is the will to structure versus ignorant yielding to fear impelled reflexive conditioning resultant to being born utterly helpless. Intellectual information accumulating processing is necessary and anticipatory faculties to be only slowly discovered as exclusively able to overcome the ignorantly feared frustrating experiences of the past. Science must be seen as a tool of fundamental advantage for all, which Universe requires that man understand and use exclusively for the positive advantage of all humanity, or humanity itself will be discarded by Universe as a viable evolutionary agent." - Cite SYNERGETICS at Sec.\hrefhttps://www.buckyverse.org/en/synergetics/content/chapters/800-operational-mathematics#section-826.05826.05, Sept'72

Scrap Sorting & Mongering:
"We are going to have to keep track of the 92 regenerative chemical elements but not just as elements because we have them in literally thousands of millions of compounds and different complex structures as they are used in various industrial processes. We won't be using the elements by themselves; we'll be using the various compounds. I am interested in the concentrates. And I see buildings as high and low grade. I see my 92 chemical elements rarely in the pure condition; in a more complex way they are in practical dissociability for further realignment.
"When we talk about all the aluminum or the bauxite some is below grade in the mines and some is already in use and recirculating. There are really two classes. There is a recirculating group. When they're pulling a building down there's part of the steel that's no longer in the building holding it together, but it may not have been put on the market yet as scrap. But it's what they call high melting scrap and should go right into the furnace; it will command a much bigger price than the small stuff."

Scrap Sorting & Mongering:
"Scrap sorting is going to be one of the great sciences now. It is one of the typical social changes from the linear patterns of the honey-bee to the precessional circulatory patterns. To man's old way of thinking he was going to build this building and it's going to stay there forever. All the architects are that way. It was like a one-way street. But nature found that the metal didn't get destroyed and so it resulted in the monger.
"The monger was sort of a low-grade character because everybody thought the materials had deteriorated, that the iron was all rusting and that everything would really rust and go away. But the monger was sitting in there and society found that things were not getting eaten up. Now the mongers are getting all their dung and really turning it into something. There's a scandal now in Philadelphia about their sewage and waste removal because some of these guys are beginning to turn some of this tonnage into money. They had been throwing out the dung but now they are beginning to process it and they find that it really pays them.
"One of the big changes around here is when the monger is no longer a low calling. But the mongers tend to sit on it and"

wait fmor a good market. That keeps enormous powerful heaps of junk in sight. We don't have to have those unsightly places. This is where the government should start to take over the function of recirculation. That's what society is not doing; it's not taking care of any of its recirculation. Everybody is trying to disconnect and make their money. So one of the big functions of government is going to be changing the scrap sorting from a one-way street into the circulatory system. I don't think anything could be more visible from the World Game point of view.
"I am going to account for everything. There are going to be some priorities. Because there are a number of these materials that are so relatively scarce thay have to be of absolutely high priority. If there is so little of it it must be used in a broad sense. I must nyer have helium in a retail pub; it must be in the tools that serve the tools.
"Incidentally, I see tools having a hierarchy just like our own guts: things that are glandular, there are energy secretions, there are pumping stations, and so forth. Purifying things like the lungs and livers are all big recirculatory systems:

Of all the people who have gone to sea historically, I imagine that very few returned. There was such loss in the beginning. But out of it man began gradually to learn his engineering, to learn how to anticipate the enormous stresses, the constant peril. And he began to develop beautiful fibers, better ropes, better sails, I think our breakthroughs always come to the people who were risking themselves very close to the brink."

Secrecy of Mathematical Knowledge:
"I am quite confident that the early navigators knew a great deal about the Earth and that they were doing just what navigators and others were doing in my day in the Navy when the Navy instructions were when I was Commanding Officer, that if anybody was about to take my ship the first thing I would do would be to go to the rail and take all the leaded books, anything of importance was covered in lead, and throw them overboard. Men had been hiding their secrets in the sea for great ages, so I felt that many people carrying on their navigation could remember some of the principles in their head but much of the important record could get lost."

Secrecy: Secrecy of Mathematical Knowledge: Navigation:
"I said to myself, I think that the first mathematics which related to a plurality of stars, and where you are, the first triangulation, occurred in relation to the navigators. I think then that the people who sailed into the windward, who started going into the prevailing winds westward, became the first inventors of the navigation. You cannot invent navigation unless you have something that you became familiar with. I think then that the people who invented the navigation invented the first really important kinds of mathematics dealing in triangulation, in major patterns. And so I think that mathematics and navigation developed in a very high way on the sea, and later on came up onto the land. But people who knew their way about the sea knew how to get to very important resources, and there were great premiums paid for what they could bring in a very secret kind of a mind-- and they began to guard their secret of navigation very carefully. I think that the great mathematical secrets were really very progressively hidden. When the navigators were going westward out of the Straits Settlements areas, and so forth, and finally negotiated across westward of the Indian Ocean to the eastern shores of Africa and the southern shores of

Mesopotamia. And they began to memorialize their navigational capabilities upon the land. They go up on the land and using the same kind of navigational capabilities they navigate across the land to get to the Mediterranean. Then they go northward down the Nile and they come to the Mediterranean. And there they build the same kind of boats built out of the patterns they can carry in their head. And they go on with what we call this lateen sailing in the Indian Ocean and it gets into the Mediterranean. We find, then, this navigating moving westward, and the men who became the great priests are the men who are monopolizing this very secret information which makes it possible to do this very powerful wealth making through trade which is controlled through navigation. You can take a lot of sailors to sea with you but they don't know where they have been-- just in a lot of water. So it is very easy to keep your secret. So these navigators began to make pyramids and other forms. You will find them in India and we find in Babylon, the beginnings of our very important kind of mathematics: of the 60-degree angles, of the 360 degree concept, of the 60-minute seconds, and so forth. The first real handling of time and angles-- which are the very

"At any rate the priests of the Roman Catholic Church began to tell me that this is a hierarchy of Heavenly Host . . . we have all kinds of legends mixed up here, but I think that this is one way that the priesthood found a way of carrying very important mathematical information."

Seeing:
"...Man has sensorial tunability and is sensorially aware of only one-millionth of physical reality. The little rainbow color band of human 'seeing' is less than one-millionth of the stretched-out reality of the invisible colors of all the 92 regenerative chemical elements of associative energy or of the various radiations."

Self-Congruence Packing:
"The openmost condition or single bonding corresponds in flexibility or mutability with the behavior of gases. The medium packed condition or double bonded hinged arrangement corresponds to the behaviors of liquid aggregates. The closest packing triple bonded fixed-end arrangement corresponds with rigid structural molecular compounds; the closest packing concept which was developed in respect to spherical aggregates only with their concave octa and vector equilibrium spaces between spheres, overlooks a much closer packed condition of energy structures, which however had been comprehended in organic chemistry, that of quadrivalence and four-fold bonding which corresponds to outright congruence of the octahedra or tetrahedra with themselves. When carbon transforms from its soft, pressed cake, carbon-black, powder, or charcoal arrangement to its diamond arrangement it converts from triple bonding or so-called closest arrangement to quadrivalence. We might call this self-congruence packing, as a single tetrahedron arrangement in contradistinction to closest packing as a neighboring group arrangement of spheres."

"First your members can develop an effective anticipation of the things that are to happen. Though it is impossible to anticipate the precise set of transitional events, you can be in the vicinity of important event occurrences. Your most important task is to help your members become comprehensive by intellectual conviction and self-debiasing, not as an ignorant yielding, but as a progressively informed displacement of invalid assumptions and dogma by discovery of the valid data. In this development the young will lead the old in swiftly increasing degree."

Q. "Which of the disciplines do you think are the most critical for our current problems?"
RBF: "The only important one of all the disciplines is self-discipline. At the front of one of my books I have said 'Dare to be naive.' That is what we must all dare to be--to make our own choices from all the shams around us.
"Each of us must dare to go along with the truth as experience teaches us and as our own intellect realizes its significance only in relation to the welfare of all humans around their local Universe functioning as information apprehenders and articulators in relation to the integrity of eternal regeneration."

"Today I see many engaging in yoga. I am sympathetic with what they're trying to do, but I don't think you have to be coached by yoga or anything else to learn self-discipline. You've got to discover yourself. I don't think you can get it from somebody else. I don't think you can get it by having somebody else psychoanalyze you. I see many of my students who go to psychoanalysts getting in more and more trouble rather than getting out of it. And the ones who don't go in for being psychoanalyzed I see learning to understand themselves and consciously disciplining themselves. Self-discipline is the key-- and we've all got it if we want to use it. . . . At the time I was going through this self-discipline process I evolved a philosophy which assumed that most problems of humanity can be solved."

Self-education:
"The highest priority of education should be to accommodate humanity's innate, chromosomically programmed, intellectual appetite for comprehending the interrelationships between all the events of which their senses progressively inform them. Our schools have failed to adequately satisfy those appetites. They have failed to inspire because inspiration springs from realization of the interrelated significances....
"Alternative education provides opportunities for the spontaneous learner to apprehend the whole picture and thus to become a comprehensivist. This is what young people instinctively desire....
"One of the most important events of the education revolution now under way is the discovery that each of us is born comprehensively competent and spontaneously coordinate, quite capable of treating large quantities of data and families of variables from the start. A child spontaneously integrates total information. It craves to understand and be understood.... For half a century I have explored self-educating ways for making the world work for everyone. It is exciting to witness groups of dedicated young people... peeling of and investing their time in alternative routes... which hold high promise for them."

RBF Definitions
"...Vastly wealthy interests... were continuing to do what money had done in the past: i.e., to rationalize selfishness. Assuming the political concept of fundamental inadequacy of life-support for all the humans around our planet, selfishness had been able to say, 'I have those for whom I'm responsible and because there is not enough life-support for all, I am obliged to do various things that are utterly and completely selfish,'
"I felt that the Club of Rome's pronunciation of the 'Limits to Growth' represented history's last attempt on the part of organized capitalists' selfishness to justify to the world public why their wealth should be unable to do anything about the third world."

"Life, minimally described is 'awareness,' which is inherently plural for at minimum it consists of the individual system which becomes aware and the first minimum 'otherness' of which it is aware, the otherness being integrally or separately internal or external to the observing system's 14 integral topologically componented subsystem: 4V + 4A + 6L.
"Together the observer and the observed constitute two points differentiated against an area of nothingness with an inherent line of 'awareness'-interrelationship running between these two points. Euler's generalized formula, which he named topology, says that the number of points plus the number of areas will always equal the number of lines plus the number two, which, Goldy finds to be at minimum 2P + 1A = 1L + 2, which minimum set of awareness aspects of life adds to four:i.e., (a) the observer; (b) the observed; (c) the line of interrelationship; and (d) the nothingness area against which the somethingness is observed.
"There are no experimentally demonstrable absolute maximum limits. Only the minimum limit is demonstrably absolute. The minimum limit experienceable is always a system-- even when it looks like a point."

Self-Regenerative:
"The significance of Einstein's radiational top speed is that there is a point of complete regeneration by which our Universe is the only and minimum perpetually self-regenerative system. It is a self-regenerative Universe of fantastic complexities and design of great integrity in which the sum total of running through the total film takes hundreds of billions of years before it accomplishes its remotest re-wow."

Sensea (1)
Index Entry
The range of the first three senses are so close together,
and sight is so different, that we may best rank them as
#1, touch, being a primary set; with both #2, olfactoral
coupled with #3, aural, as a secondary set; and #4 sight, as
a tertiary set: therefore in effect, touch is the yesterday
set; while the olfactoral and aural (what you are smelling,
eating, saying, and hearing) are the now set; while sight
(what only may be next) is the future set. We can seem to
see, but we have not yet come to it. Whereas reality is
eternally now, human apprehending demonstrates a large
assortment of lags in rates of cognitions whose myriadly
multivariated frequencies of myriadly multivariated, positive-
negative, omnidirectional aberrations, in multivariated
degrees, produce such elusively off-center effects as
possibly to result in an illusory awareness of an approxi-
mately unlimited number of individually different awareness
patterns, all of whose relative imperfections induce the
illusion of a reality in which 'life' is terminal, because
physically imperfect; as contrasted to mind's discovery of
an omni-interaccommodative complex of a variety of different
a priori, cosmic, and eternal principles, which can only be

Sensorial Identification of Reality:
"From physics we learn that every fundamental behavior of Universe
Always and only coexists with a nonmirror-imaged complementary.
The nonsimultaneity and dissimilarity
Of the complementary interpatterning pulsations
Integrate to produce
The complex of events
We sensorially identify as reality.
Without the pulsative asymmetries and asynchronous lags
The complementations would cancel out one another
And centralize equilibriously,
And there would be no sensoriality,
Ergo, no self-awareness, no life;
For we have also learned from physics
That all the positive and negative weights
Of the fundamental components of matter
Balance out exactly as zero.
Life may well be a dream,
A comedy and tragedy
Of errors of conceptioning
Inherent in the dualistic
Imaginary assumption
Of a self differentiated
From all the complex otherness

For it must be remembered
That no human has ever seen directly
Outside himself.
What we call seeing
Is the interpretive imagining in the brain
Of the significance and meaning
Of the nervous system reports
Of an assumed outsideness of self,
All of which organic design conception
May be that of a great intellect
Which is inventing Universe progressively
Evolving mathematically elegant
Integral equations
For each conceivable challenge
Including the invention
You and me.
But you and I cannot escape
And are given extraordinary faculties
Which we are supposed to use.
So here we go again
From right where we are Now."

Series vs. Parallel Circuitry
← Serial Universe | Series vs. Parallel Circuitry →
RBF Definitions
"The difference between gravitation and radiation is analogous
to the difference between parallel wiring and series wiring in
electricity. Series wiring is like the lights on a christmas
tree in which circuitry if one light goes out the whole system
goes out. In parallel wiring when one light goes out the
other lights remain operative. This is a demonstration of
integration and disintegration. Series wiring is a disintegra-
time system, an open system. Parallel wiring is an integra-
tive system, a closed system. It is not the 'parallelism' that
matters but the fact that the circuit is closed. The word
parallel came into use only because of the diagram first used
to demonstrate the principle as well as the fact that the
closed circuit wire is conveniently doubled back upon itself
and bound into one 'lead' for house-wiring purposes. The fact
that the vectors are parallel is only a convenience of the
construction industry. The same length vectors--ergo the same
energy magnitude involvement--used correctly, can provide
either function. Here we have the convergent integrations
and divergent disintegration language of synergetics in the
language of electricity."

Service Industry:
"Great corporations have not as yet ventured into this field because wind energy has not seemed to be monopolizable over a pipe or wire. However, enterprise can be rewarded, in greater magnitude than ever before, by producing and renting world-around wind-harnessing apparatus-- as they already do in the computer, telephone, car rental, and hotelling service industries."

We can have an integrator calculating, designing and automatically manufacturing and putting together a geodesic dome in a giant jig, after which an automated 'sky tug' helicopter will carry the dome away to install it and prepare it for human occupancy, thus providing a telephone-system type of inventing, developing, installing, maintaining, relocating, and continually self-improving service industry, able to provide telephone-ordered 'instant housing.' Such a computer-controlled housing and livingry service industry is even now feasible at one percent of the weight, time, and energy involvement per unit of volume and living equipment found in conventional high-standard suburbia or Park Avenue skyscraper technology.

Seven Axes of Symmetry:
"The 56 axes of cosmic symmetry (See Sec. \hrefhttps://www.buckyverse.org/en/synergetics/content/chapters/1000-omnitopology#section-1042.051042.05) interprocess successively to regenerate the centripetal-centrifugal inwardnesses, outwaradnesses, and aroundnesses of other inwardnesses, outwaradnesses and aroundnesses as the omnipulsative cycling and omniinterresonated eternally regenerative Universe, always accommodated by the six positive and six negative alternately and maximally equi-economical degrees of freedom characterizing each and every event cycle of each and every unique frequency-quantum magnitude of the electromagnetic spectrum range."

There are 25 great circles on the vector equilibrium. On the icosahedron there are 31. These are all the symmetries; there are no other points or aspects of symmetry that you could develop either on the vector equilibrium or the icosahedron (electron) side. The 25 great circles of the vector equilibrium all go through the prime vertexes.

Sex
Index Entry
Sex:
"As survival rate and life sustaining capability increase, fewer births are 'required.' This may be related to our developing capacities in interchanging our physical parts, of producing mechanical organs, of having progressively fewer human organisms to replenish. The drive in humanity to reproduce as prodigally as possible decreases considerably. This may be reflected in social behaviors-- when all the girls begin to look like boys and boys and girls wear the same clothes. This may be part of a discouraging process in the idea of producing more babies.
"We shall have to stop looking askance on trends in relation to sex merely as a reproductive capability, i.e., that it is normal to make babies. Society will have to change in its assessment of what the proclivities of humanity may be. Our viewpoints on homosexuality, for example, may have to be reconsidered and more wisely adjusted."

"Vegetation has to regenerate its young, but it can't have its young if there is a shadow. The young plants would not be able to get any of the necessary radiation. Therefore, most vegetation launches its new life in little seeds on the winds and on the waters. The possibility of these seeds landing in just the places where they will prosper is poor, and nature makes many starts-- enough to make sure that the species survives."

For example, ships' fastenings may be of rivets, nails, screws, or bolts; of bronze, steel, or monel-- or welds. It is true, of course, that ships of special component chemistry may outperform others of less appropriate chemistry, but this is by obvious subsynergetic evolutionary improvement, and not by surprise."

"Throughout the documented milleniums of man's evolutionary technologies and their progressively integrated inventories, recognized environmentally as successive eras, there has been one fundamental category of technical, strategic, and economic undertakings which, of inherent necessity, transcended the going local traditions of opinion-governed expediency in treatment of physical problems and expenditures of local wealth and credit for those local ends; that is, if we except the enormous credit and physical investment of local undertakings in the most transcendental class as mystical insurance for eternal equanimity as built into the great religious edifices by the local communities, as representing the most generalized problem treatment and infinite range planning known to man's history. If instead, we confine our selves to discovering what has been the longest-range and most generalized case of the economic communities investment in equipment-- simplex and complex-- designed for the improved satisfaction of living needs, we will discover that ships and watercraft building in the vast majority of historic communities, who of necessity lived near water bodies, undoubtedly represents the most generalized problem treatment"

"and longest range, time and geography wise, pattern planning. Why? Simply because a ship had to be designed to meet far more than the pattern indicated by the physical experience within the local environment of harbored confines; indeed, the more resources to be fetched for the complementation of the locally-occurring resources for integration into comprehensive capital goods wealth and higher productivity, the more extremes of climate and weather hazards, the more days and miles of possible hazards needed to be anticipated with approximate safety factors. Ships had to be designed for the generalized case of all oceans and all tasks. To accomplish all-ocean, all-task efficacy, men learned through bitter, mortal, dramatic experience that they must invest all the best of their commonwealth resources of time and physical goods inventory and cumulative science and craft know-how into the building and management of their long-range,wealth-integrating ships.
"No arts nor knowledge of design and pattern failed to place in the undertaking. Because of the myriad conflicts of ambition of competitively lesser plan leaders and their easy expediency and shortsighted gain in recourse to piracy,"

"For this very reason the most effective strategies of men have been temporarily lost to history and historical accounting has been made in a myriad of secondary and almost irrelevant legend manufacture. As new day tools allow us to go to oceans bottom, and above all allow us greater perspective of time and distance, we have been able to reintegrate into informative pattern the outstanding historical fact that the whole concept of shipbuilding out of all the best resources to accomplish the highest limits of schedule performance, represents not only the essence of the meaning of 'priority' in access to the most effective commonwealth means, but over and above this identity to discern also that synergetic effectiveness was the very essence of the word 'wealth' itself."

Modifications in relative magnitude of the system's import and export programming and their rates of reoccurrence is accomplished by component events of the system which interfere with and thus intercept and shunt (or valve) the import event receipts into holding patterns. From the holding pattern or reservoir the events may be valved into the system's component event patterning for use at preferred rates and magnitudes in extending or altering the regenerative integrity of the system. Scientific design controls these frequency and magnitude events & by (valving), i.e. angle and frequency modulation.

"Velocity is always 186,000 miles per second. All other relative motion patterns are the result of remotely observed, angularly precessed, 186,000 m.p.s. energy-action shunting.
"Angularly precessed shunting may divert omnidirectional energy into focused (angularly shunted) actions and reactions, of either radial or circumferential patternings, or both.
"Frequency modulation is accomplished through precession-shunted circuit synchronizations. 'Valving' is angular shunting. Competent design is predicated upon frequency modulation by application of the precessional shunting principle."

"Man sees only by omni-directional images illuminated within the experience-inventoried brain after images regeneratively fed-back by the energy of momentary sensorial scannings. It is significant that he gets direct or nondelayed visual report only from the actively radiant energetic centers of light, notably the stars. All other visual reports wait upon indirect routing by their superficial reflection from passive structures of energetic impasse, the planetary mass phenomena."

Sight: No Man Has Ever Seen Outside of Himself:
"... It must be remembered
That no human has ever seen directly
Outside himself.
What we call seeing
Is the interpretive imagining in the brain
Of the significance and meaning
Of the nervous system reports
Of an assumed outsideness of self,
All of which organic design conception
May be that of a great intellect
Which is inventing Universe progressively
Evolving mathematically @legant

For each conceivable challenge
Including the invention
You and me."

Silence:
"Silence is the untuned. Silence takes the electromagnetic place of space. Space is a sort of tactile error. . . the frozen thing.
"With awareness and consciousness you already are thinking; but the point is that you didn't start out with the notion of doing some thinking; it wasn't your fault that you started to be conscious of something.
"Euler has the visual inventory. Aural sensing has no shape. Our visual sense verifies our tactile sense of shape. Smelling and sound have no shape. Smelling has less shape than sound. Sound has a little shape in reflecting bouncings of electromagnetic wave phenomena. Visually, when we don't see something, we call it space. But hearing is like smelling, when it is not tuned-in, it is silent. I've been saying tuned-out, but what I've meant all along is silence."

The big jobs are done in tension and the small jobs in compression. We find that the tensions, because they are always curved, never can get straight and there is no meaning to the word straight in Universe. Therefore the tension members spiraling around must always come back into themselves. They are inherently self-closing; maybe not within simultaneous experiences-- obviously not in simultaneous experiences-- but around comes Halley's Comet. Every 70 years around she comes again. It is not a simultaneous experience at all. Several life times may be involved, and some of them may be coming around much more slowly, but there is an integrity of the tensions as around they come again. We find an idea about some kind of closed circuit.

But I've really had enough experience, such a fantastic amount, that I really know what it is to sin. And that would be to cheat on the great accounting system of Universe, trying to take something out and hang on to it.
"I could very easily transgress. I could rest and sleep and make all kinds of money. The opportunities keep coming in all the time. But I have no desire to sin, I assure you. The point is: I know how. There are many things I did in my life that would be sinful if I did them today. I still feel I'm entitled to make experiments, but once I find out--do it again? No. That's sinful."

The courage to adhere to the truth as we learn it involves, then, the courage to face oneself with the clear admission of all the mistakes we have made. Mistakes are sins only when not self-admitted. Etymologically, sin means omission where admission should have occurred. An angle is a sinus, an opening, a break in a circle, a break in the integrity of the whole human individual. Trigonometrically, the sine of an angle is the ratio of the length of the chord facing the central angle considered, as ratioed to the length of the radius of the circle whose center is also the apex of the angle, or sinus, considered. The angle is the angle of error of viewpoint of the individual whose circular integrity has been violated. The relative size of the chord opposite that angle of error as proportioned to the radius (taken as unity 1) of the circle of experienced knowledge of the individual; and being the sine of the angle considered, it is also the relative magnitude of the individual's sin.

In synergetics we find the difference of one whole integer frequently manifest in our geometrical interrelationship explorations. Beyond the one additional proton and one additional electron characterizing the hierarchy of the already-discovered family of 92 regenerative chemical elements and their short-lived transuranium manifestability by high-energy physics experiments, we find time and again a single integer to be associated with the positive-negative energetic pulsations in Universe.
Because the energetic-synergetic relationships are usually generalized relationships independent of size, these single rational integer differentials are frequently found to characterize the limit magnitudes of asymmetric deviations from the zerophase vector equilibrium.
The minor aberrations of otherwise elegantly matching phenomena of nature, such as the micro-weight aberrations of the 92 regenerative chemical elements in respect to their atomic numbers, was not explained until isotopes and their neutrons were discovered a few decades ago. Such discoveries numerically elucidate the whole-integer rationalization of the unique

"And the sphere emerges from the primitive hierarchy when it begins to spin. Spinning is just one of the degrees of motion freedom. Spinning and orbiting give you the sphere--at the point where frequency comes into time-size.

You have a speck of 200th of an inch; you can see it as a speck but you couldn't resolve anything about it as a polyhedron. This is where man invented the idea of a point. You could point to it, but it was subdimensional--he said.
"I started to see how we could make the mistake of points, and lines, and planes as something that you put together and find that you make reality. I started with my reality, and then if there's a point to it, well, there's something there; and if I put a really powerful magnifying glass to it I'm going to find there is a crystal. It is a polyhedron and it has an insideness and an outsideness. Anything that is substantial has an insideness and an outsideness.

"you finally get to a something. You can't get to something less than four corners. It may be kind of flat and look like a flat triangle but it has really an altitude and you find that the minimum is four corners and six edges and four faces. You cannot get a rock with less than three faces around a corner. If it looks flat, it is just so many faces.
"The tetrahedron is fourfold symmetry: four minimum absolute faces. A cube has only three. The minimum something has four faces of symmetry, four vertexes of symmetry. Now that is then the minimum something, degrees of freedom. I cannot have something less than four corners and I cannot have a face of less than three edges so that the minimum something has six edges altogether. Any one face has three edges so these six edges are vectors in that structure and they really are the defining set of events and with every turn to play in Universe we always get six moves so the minimum something is a minimum play.

Six Motion Freedoms & Degrees of Freedom:
"You always get six edges. They can be at all kinds of angles so that's where the degrees of freedom are. We find in topology that all somethings have vertexes, faces, and edges, but the numbers of the edges in Universe is evenly divisible by six. These are the six degrees of freedom and they can be positive or negative and they are always there. They are not on a plane; they are omnidirectional.
"The six motion freedoms are complex consequences of the six degrees of freedom. If you want to get an instrument held in position, it takes six restraints. If I have just five restraints, then the tetrahedron will change shape. Shape requires six restraints. Six restraints are what give structure.
"A minimum system is a tetrahedron; a minimum structure has six restraints, so anything that holds its shape has a minimum of six restraints so that the system itself can spin or the system itself can orbit. The system itself can inside out. There are systems behaviors and the six degrees of freedom are internal to it."

"So there are six internals and six externals. The six system motions... will be part of the larger system in order to have them stop: they will be frozen in part of the larger system, they are going to have to lose one of those freedoms. ... we come to the six positive and the six negatives and there really are always 12 and they alternate equi-economically.

Six-Ridge Tetrahedral Globe:
"As we take a close-up view of our little Spaceship Earth we see that the three-quarters of it which is covered with water has a greatest depth of about six miles, which is about the same as the six-mile altitude of its greatest dry land mountain peaks. We find that these ten-mile maximum variations of the spherical Spaceship Earth's 8,000-mile diameter are comparatively negligible. If we are looking at a 12-inch diameter globe, the distance between the outermost mountain peak and the innermost ocean depth is only 1/50th of an inch, which visually is an almost undetectable amount. As we look at a 12-inch globe, the thickness of the ink with which an ocean is depicted is deeper in proportion to the globe than in the real Earth globe's ocean depth in respect to its diameter.
"Three major mountain ridges of the Spaceship Earth converge in the Antarctic continent. From the South Pole one runs northwardly in the high continental plateau of Africa, and thence into Europe culminating as the Alps. A second ridge runs northwardly under water and emerges as Australia Malaysia, and later as Indo-China. A third ridge consists of South America's Andes which runs northward through Central America to terminate"

"In the northern hemisphere, the northern ends of these three southern-hemisphere-emanating ridges are interconnected by fourth, fifth, and sixth ridges, respectively. The fourth consists of the Alps, Asia Minor's highlands and islands, and the Himalayas. This fourth ridge runs between Europe and Indo-China and interconnects the northern terminals of ridges one and two. The fifth ridge consists of the China-Kamchatka mountains, and the Aleutian and North America's Rockies, which joins the northern end of ridge two with the northern end of ridge three in Mexico. The sixth ridge runs from Mexico and the terminals of ridges three and five via El Paso, Texas, and is thereafter momentarily broken through by the Mississippi; it continues as the Ozarks and the Appalachians and reaches northeastward as a chain via Newfoundland, Labrador, Greenland, Iceland, British Isles, Scandinavia, and Urals to final juncture with ridges one and four at the Alps. "These six main ridges have for long been seen by physical geologists and geographers to constitute the now distorted--sunken here and risen there-- six edges of a spherical tetrahedron." - Cite BEAR ISLAND STORY, galley p.7, 1968

But what you could do with sixty degreeness was very powerful. So the sixty degreenes is part of the coordinate system that I am talking about.

Furthermore the circumferential modular frequency of planar or omnidirectional patterning will always be in one-to-one correspondence with the radial frequencies of modular subdividing. When we do this, we find we have made a model of the spontaneously coordinate structure which nature actually uses / the vector equilibrium."

Wherefore humanity's adoption of the cube's edges as its dimensional coordinate frame of scientific event reference gave him need to employ a family of irrational constants with which to translate their findings into their unrecognized isotropic vector matrix relationships where all nature's events are most economically and rationally intercoordinated with omni-sixty-degree, one-, two-, three-, four-, and five-dimensional omnirational frequency modulatability." - Cite SYNERGETICS draft at Sec. \hrefhttps://www.buckyverse.org/en/synergetics/content/chapters/900-modelability#section-982.13982.13, 19 Nov'72

By Size we do not refer to the angle, but to the length of the edges, or magnitude of the faces or volumes, described by the linear boundaries. How long the edges are can be determined experimentally only in the terms of the repetitive multiples of some given pattern experience. The given experience module has a fundamental time consideration. All experience of size refers to the duration of the pattern-describing events. And the observer's time sense refers to any of his own afterimage consideration of one of his integral recycling organs.

Skinner: B.F.:
"I know and like Skinner. He is sincere and committed to his theories. I observe that he does not differentiate between brain and mind. (See my book 'Intuition.') Assuming only brain, chromosomes, DNA-RNA, and that life is entirely physical, it is logical for him to see everything as mechanistically behavioral and omniexplicable by humans because he excludes from consideration an a priori, eternally inexhaustible, mysterious integrity governing Universe; only a few of those reliably guiding principles have thus far been discovered by humans."

Skinning:
"When you transfer the projected data from the surface of a sphere to a plane, you have to break open the spherical skin in order to 'peel' it. There will be various angular cuts in the periphery of the skin when it is laid out flat, just as you take the skin off an animal. The openings along the edges are called sinuses. The sinuses on my map occur in the water. None of the cuts go into the land. Therefore, I am able to take all of the data off the Earth globe and make it accurately available in the flat."

Index Entry
Skinning:
"As in skinning an animal, a fruit, or a vegetable to provide a flat skin stretch-out, the development of a flat map of the complete world involves arbitrary piercing of the world ball's surface map-skin, thereby making one or more holes or gashes from which to start the stretching-out and peeling-off process of the skin until it is liftable from off its ball center. After the data has been further stretched it may be laid out as one or more flat map sections. If the skinning is accomplished in separate peelings and those sections have curved peripheries they may be tangentially only as 'gears' or 'fans', which destroys the chance of forming a continuous one-surface comprehensive world map.
"To provide a continuous one-surface world map-- while peeling off the sections of the globe-- the transformation must be such that the pieces have straight and matching edges when peeled off and flattened out."
Skinning: Tiger's Skin
Index Entry
Typical of all the finitely conceptual objects or systems, the tiger's skin can be pierced and slotted open. Thereafter, by enlarging the slotted hole by gashes in various directions, the skin can be peeled off all in one piece. It can be made to lay out flat by making a lunar-gash from the skin's edge into any remaining domical area of the skin. The slitting of a paper cone from its circular edge to its apex allows the paper to be layed out as a flat 'fan,' intruded by an angular sinus. . . The surface contour of every object or system-- be it a complex creature such as crocodile, or a simple cube or a dodecahedron can thus be 'skinned' and laid out in the flat.

Sleep
Index Entry
I've finally learned to accept the fact that apparently nature intends us to get to a point where we're supposed to sleep. For years I managed to get by on just two or three hours, letting myself sleep a half-hour ever four, or six or whatever it was. It worked fine, but it was a terrible inconvenience for my wife and she made me stop it. You can theorize about what sleep is, but it seems to me that each day we just get more and more asymmetrical until we have to sleep to get back into symmetry again. So I know I have to sleep and I know that if I use the reserve energies I'll have to take time to fill those reserve tanks. They're in an inconvenient position and they have small nozzles, and it takes longer to fill them. But the point of all this is that I'm so convinced of what's happening that I don't have any personal option at all. So just being tired is not enough reason to take it easy. I know that I get to the point where I'm so fuzzy-imded that I'll mess things up more than help them, and then sleep is something I don't consider sinful.

Sleeping & Thinking:
Q. "Do you practice meditation? Is there a kind of Dymaxion sleep?"
RBF: "I have never practiced it and I have never used either of those terms. I try to comprehend what my faculties may be. I can go to sleep in 30 seconds. Animals can go to sleep and still spring instantly into action. I thought this might be a good way to make the most of your time and energy, as a runner has a second wind--drawing on his reserve tanks. But it takes much more time and piping to replenish the reserve tanks.
"So I decided to try and see if I could sleep at a higher frequency than the daily and nightly periods of the earning-a-living game. So I slept whenever I felt like it. You cannot put out unless you are putting in. After two years I found that I was sleeping only a half-hour every six hours, or getting only a total of two hours sleep a day and all the while I was incredibly healthy.
"That may be something like the idea of meditation... we have all these messages coming in... I like to focus on some"

"familiar object such as a boat I particularly like... and in 30 seconds I am asleep: that's the most I do in the way of meditation.
"But I do a great deal of thinking, trying to put events together and sort out the significance of my experiences. By employing word tools we are able to compound the experiences of total humanity. I found a lot of nonsense coming out of my mouth. So I let my wife do the talking for me for all our everyday needs as I was resolved to say nothing until I was sure what its effect would be on other human beings... So I just kept at work... paying no attention to others."

The Greek architects found experientially That when a stone column's hheight Exceeds eighteen diameters of its girth It tends to fail by buckling. The length to diameter ratio Of compressional columns Is called its slenderness ratio. Steel columns are more stable Than stone columns. Steel columns are structurally usable With slenderness ratios as high as thirty-to-one. But such columns are called long columns. A short column is one whose slenderness ratio Is far below that of the Greek column. Short columns tend to fail by crushing Rather than by buckling. A twelve-to-one slenderness ratio Provides a short column.

"I hope that I have been successful in communicating this to you conceptually without recourse to pictures. No man has ever seen outside of himself. He always sees in his brain. I think it is as easy to stimulate the brain conceptioning by words as it is by graphics. I often find in lectures that I don't have to show the slides which I had been prepared to do because I found that people had conjured up in their own brains from my words the very picture which I had intended to show but had gone on spontaneously to describe in advance. It is my intuitive surmise that the pictures thus conjured up are more powerfully planted in the other man's brain than those resulting from the beams of light bounced off a photograph back to the human eye lenses, retina and nerve connections and after to be scanned and IMAGe-ed (imagined) in the brain."

"A child, when playing in sticky snow, may make a big mound of snow and hollow it out with his hands or a shovel to make a cave. Then, looking at the hollowed mound from outside, he may discover that he has made a rough dome. He might, then conclude that whatever makes that structure stand up and span space is not dependent on what was at the center because the snow has been removed from the center. Whatever makes it stand up has to do with the circumferential interactiond of the snow crystals and their molecules and the latter's atoms. He may find out by experiment that he could put not only one hole, but many holes through the snow dome shell and it continues to stand up. It becomes apparent that it would be possible to take a pneumatic balloon, pair the molecules, and get rid of all the molecules at the cehtter that were not hitting the balloon-- for it is only the molecules that hit the balloon at high frequency of successive bounce-offs that give the balloon its shape."

Index Entry
Snow Mound:
"In the case of the pneumatic bag ... what makes the net take the shape that it does is simply the molecules that happen to hit it. The molecules that are not hitting it have nothing to do with its shape. ...
"When you were a little child, the first time you went out in a fairly deep snow, or the first time you were allowed to go out on your own, you tended to make a mound of the snow. It was a fascinating thing because you could push it together and it would take shapes, it had coherence. I am sure that almost every child with mittens on builds himself a mound and then starts chipping and working away at the mound and makes a hole in it and he makes a cave. He finds that he can get in it and what he discovers is that the structural integrity has nothing to do with the snow that used to be at the middle; It has something to do with the circumferential set of action of molecules there that you are accounting for. So we develop a strong intuition about this when we are very young. What I saw that might be possible was that we might hollow out the pneumatic network and we could do away with the molecules that weren't doing the work, if we had the ones that were doing the work neatly paired."

Social Highway Experience: Three Autos:
"In the early days of the auto on a lonely road-- when you saw another car coming-- there was always a third coming into view or already in view. Three cars frequently come to approximately the same highway point at approximately the same time. This is not surprising because when, having first taken away the two points from the system to accommodate the axis of the observer, we always have the topologically constant relative abundance of interference crossings, areas, and lines. Edges are lines. The car paths are reality lines, traces, with universal three-foldness of energy-event trajectory vectors. Universe keeps sorting its event traces into bundles of three. The social highway experience of three cars is the inexorably present tricomplementarity relationship of the little local triangle on the Earth's surface complemented by the three other great-circle triangles of the terrestrial spherical tetrahedron always produced in all system formation and transforming. Critical proximities impose three triangulations."

Index Entry
The word socialism was invented to describe equal sharing in the inadequacies of agricultural life support, ergo, austerity for all. Who wants universal austerity? The whole concept of socialism originated from an agricultural (and only dawning) industrial era which is now finished and is kept effective by 'lying-in-state' as an ignorance-sustained conditioned reflex of society.

Disarmament is stalled in the U.S. because the country cannot keep its economy going through the 'irrigations system' now fed at the top through annual weaponry undertakings without seeming subscribing to 'socialism.' In wartime emergencies, national management of economic activity is exempt from charges of socialism, but by custom and law such centralized authority is forbidden in peacetime. To avoid this embarrassment and to keep our economy healthy, wartime emergency powers are extended to meet the threat of the next war. This extension is called 'cold war.' The U.S. knows that the world needs and wants disarmament and that its socialism-avoiding subterfuge becomes increasingly evident to the rest of the world and thus less tenable. The government and powerful Washington lobbies of the armaments contractors, supported by the labor unions, are seeking ways to keep the economic irrigation system fed from the top while also attaining progressive disarmament."

Now I would ask the question if this isn't of some importance, this matter of fooling ourselves into thinking that we see and feel the modern when it is unfeelable and unseeable. I should think that it would have very great significance. It could have something to do with why it is at the present moment that our technology is so developed that we could feed and make everybody technically more successful than any man has ever been before, and yet we don't have the ability socially to organize ourselves to do anything about it. We seem to be on the road to blowing ourselves up. We have more and more emergencies of higher and higher frequency, so I would say that our social capability is lagging. And I would say that much of our social disabilities must have to do with our being preoccupied with certain myths. What I then intend to do in giving you the subject "Trends to Invisibility," is to really try to examine if I can, the ways in which we have deceived ourselves, and then examining ways in which we might be able to organize ourselves towards informing ourselves more effectively regarding where we are in our Universe and what we might do about it.

"Social relationships must follow the rational energy quantum laws of physics but at a complex level. Social behaviors must follow all the generalized scientific principles such as synergy and precession. Because precession imposes angles other than 180° upon all interactions of all moving systems of Universe there are no straight lines demonstrated in nature. The fundamental wave behavior of all nature is a consequence of the omni-intereffective precession. Most of our social undertakings try to analyze subjectively and to persuade objectively individuals to move in 180° or straight-line paths. Such attempts are inherently futile. When society recognizes realistically that everything moves in an angular wave patterning, society will be able to accommodate its behavior in a more realistic and satisfactory manner. Democracy's right-left pulsations are imposed by nature's wave behavior. When society comprehends the omnirational isotropic vector matrix 60-degree angle coordinate system it may then be able to emulate the behavior of sailing ship masters and will learn how to beat, which means angling first left and then right 45° off the course leading directly into the wind, in order to

So far, however, the social scientists have failed to find any of the quantitative values governing the natural laws in human behavior.

Index Entry
Solid State:
"Science evolved the name 'solid state' physics when, immediately after World War II, the partial conductors and partial resistors-- later termed 'transistors'-- were discovered. The phenomena were called 'solid state' because without human devising of the electronic circuitry, certain small metallic substances accidentally disclosed electromagnetic pattern-holding, shunting, route-switching, and frequency-valving regularities, assumedly produced by the invisible-to-humans, atomic complexes constituting those substances. Further experiment disclosed unique electromagnetic circuitry characteristics of various substances without any conceptual model of the 'subvisible apparatus.' Ergo, the whole development of the use of these invisible behaviors was conducted as an intelligently resourceful trial-and-error strategy in exploiting invisible and uncharted-by-humans natural behavior within the commonsensically 'solid' substances. The addition of the word 'state' to the word 'solid' implied regularities in an otherwise assumedly random conglomerate. What I have discovered goes incisively and conceptually deeper than the blindfolded assumptions and strategies of solid state physics--whose transistors' solid state regularities seemingly defied discrete conceptuality and scientific generalization and kinetic omnigramming."

Goldy further clarifies and simplifies Euler by saying that an area is a nothingness; a plurality of areas are framingly separated views of nothingness. A point is a somethingness. A line is a relationship between two somethingnesses.
"An enlarged seemingly single somethingness may prove to consist of a plurality of somethingnesses between which the defined interrelationship lines fence off the nothingness into a plurality of separately viewable nothingnesses. Points are unresolvable, untunable somethingnesses occurring in the twilight zone between visible and supravisible experience."

RBF Definitions
What do you mean, sovereignty is dead?"
A. (RBF): "I am a student of large patterns. And as I look around I try to see what evolution is trying to do. We sometimes forget how important is the role of Universe. I have just been telling you that all the things that came in since I was born, automobiles, jet planes and the Queen Mary, radio, satellite communications, they were all unexpected, they were all surprises, and none of them were the result of conscious and deliberate development.
"I do not look on it policywise. I see it as a worldwide biospheric pattern of honey bees and chromosomes.
"The continental congress in Philadelphia has been so movingly described this morning, how people designed a democratic and marvelously representative government. But the congressman went back home on foot or horse. The city of Washington got one or two letters from Europe a month; and everyone knew what was said and went home and talked about it. Democracy flourished in a one-to-one correspondence of stimulation and response. With the advent of telegraph we lost all this;"

The effect of telegraphy on the news was mostly one-way, despatches from the field; by and large they provided no response. Democracy works on one-to-one correspondence, but now our communications are not working that way. In 1940 I explored the technology of communications, how if everyone voted daily would it affect the frequency of telephone use. Now we wonder if there might not be some electromagnetic patterns from the brain with all of humanity manifesting some kind of high-frequency electromagnetic, yes-or-no-field.
If the satellite sensors are mapping our beef cattle, might they not also have a capability of picking up how humanity feels about a question. It's all going to be completely different from the ways of the past. You mentioned world government. There could be a sort of city management concept taking its orders from a consensus of humanity. Of course the majority might often be wrong, but with such instant communication errors would be recognized soon enough to correct them. Measuring what humanity is really thinking.

This moment in the evolutionary advance and psychological transformation of humanity has been held back by the non-physically-demonstrable, ergo non-sensorial, conceptionless mathematical devices and their resultant incomprehensibility of the findings of science. There are two most prominent reasons for this incomprehensibility: the first being the non-physically-demonstrable mathematical tools, the second being our preoccupation with the sense of static fixed 'space' as so much unoccupied geometry imposed by square, cubic, perpendicular, and parallel attempts at coordination, rather than regarding 'space' as being merely systemic angle and frequency information which is presently nontuned-in within the physical, sensorial range of tunability of the electromagnetic equipment with which we personally have been organically endowed.

So decreed Justice Fuller. I tried a different angle having, apparently, failed to make myself understood: "There's an organization just formed in San Francisco called Living Creatures Associates. It's a press agency claiming to represent other species-- whales, garter snakes, foxes-- represent them publicly on their own terms, with a right to exist on this spaceship, then, in the same way as I do. With some rights that conflict, perhaps, with those of men."
"Did the foxes invite them? Did the daisies elect them?... I have no objection to other people's doing what they do but nothing could be more remote from me," says Fuller. "I call this a do-gooder organization, idealistic and so forth. And their effectiveness approximately zero.. I think it is a very nice manifest of consciousness of man. He's beginning to think about things."

Once upon a time and aboard a spaceship there were almost four billion passengers, each so small and the ship so large that the passengers wandering about on its spherical deck, pulled feetward toward its center of gravity, could see only about one two-millionth of the ship's total deck surface at any one time. Usually they were all told, only a millionth of it in their entire lifetime. As a consequence they did not realize that the only locally irregular surface on which they walked did not stretch away as a plane to infinity and was in fact a finite or closed spherical surface system.
That spaceship had been given the name 'Earth' by its passengers, this name being descriptive of its hard-packed dust, dirt, and rock-surfaced deck stretching away surrounded by water seemingly to infinity. So impressed have the passengers been with that stationary, egocentric, two-dimensional concept that they have for long, and as yet, begin their children's education with plane geometry-- its surfaces and lines-- stretching away to infinity. . . .

This meager ten percent of the spaceship's surface with its vitally hospitable damp surface is divided into many small fractions scattered so remotely from one another around the Earth's sphere and with such vast and formidable waters, mountains, deserts, and ice intervening, that as a result each of the local groups of inhabitants of the various areas-- for 99 percent of the period of their known presence on Earth-- have been unaware of the other groups' existence or whereabouts aboard the spaceship.
"Equipped materially to take care of its passengers for millions of celestial travel years, but needing additional energy to produce, maintain, and regenerate its complex, interchemically exchanging, life-support system, it was designed by the conceivor of the vast, ever and everywhere nonsimultaneously transforming Universe, that the additional and vital energy is constantly transmitted to the spaceship by the electromagnetic radiations emanating from enormous, fiery, unmanned, automated mother spaceships traveling in company with, but at great distances from, the little Spaceship Earth."

"And to make things even more challenging and intelligence-invoking for the passengers, no instruction book on identification of the parts and what they do and how to operate them came with the spaceship. Because some of the red berries were healthily sustaining while other red berries were poisonous, the passengers were forced to learn by trial and error about the myriad of life-advantaging principles that have been secretly built into the integral metabolics of Spaceship Earth and that spaceship's complementary universal environment, which is ever energetically transforming and evolving. This was made possible by the apparently ample tolerance for their many errors which was included in the design of the ship and the celestial support system. Though often obvious for millions of years, most of these vital advantage-giving principles long have remained unrecognized for what they are and can dθ; it would seem to be a part of the designed scheme of Universe that-- for the nonce, anyway-- nothing is quite so invisible to Spaceship Earth's passengers as the obvious. . . .

"In fact, I can think of only one way of expressing the degree to which interdependence and community have become the destiny of modern man. I borrow the comparison from Professor Buckminster Fuller, who, more clearly than most scientists and innovators, has grasped the implications of our revolutionary technology. The most rational way of considering the whole human race today is to see it as the ship's crew of a single spaceship on which all of us, with a remarkable combination of security and vulnerability, are making our pilgrimage through infinity. Our planet is not much more than the capsule within which we have to live as human beings if we are to survive the vast space voyage upon which we have been engaged for hundreds of millennia-- but without yet noticing our condition. This space voyage is totally precarious. We depend upon a little envelope of soil and a rather larger envelope of atmosphere for life itself. And both can be contaminated and destroyed. Think what could happen if somebody were to get mad or drunk in a submarine and run for the controls. If some member of the human race gets dead drunk on board our spaceship, we are all in trouble. This is how we have to think of ourselves. We are a ship's company on a small ship. Rational behavior is the condition of survival."

"For at least 2,000,000 years men have been reproducing and
multiplying on a little automated spaceship called Earth, in an
automated Universe in which the entire process is so successfully
predesigned that men did not even know that they were
automated, regenerative passengers on a spaceship and were so
naive as to think they had invented their own success as they
lived egocentrically on a seemingly static Earth."
/ N.B. At Hugh Kenner's house in Baltimore, in response to
an inquiry from the Baltimore SUN, RBF said that to the best of
his recollection this citation was his earliest reference to
spaceship Earth in print. -- 3 Oct'73.

"In contrast to the home arts let us look at the space rocketry world. At the present moment we have the enormous, major governments subsidized weaponry race into space undertaken by both Russia and the United States. In order to be able to put a man in space-- to stay in space, not to make a few orbits-- in order to have man, in effect, live continuously in outer space for weeks and months and possibly years, we have to solve scientifically the problem of mastering the ecological pattern of the human being and the metabolic pattern of the human being. We have to realize that the energy events that take place metabolically in supporting man ecologically on Earth involve energy transforming functions of trees, worms, water, sunlight, the slowly forming topsoil, et. al. The delicately balanced pressure and heat of energy exchanges and chemical transformings involve very large ecological domains to complete the cycles of a man-supporting environment process on Earth. We are going to have to compress the total ecological domain of man from approximately a one-mile radius process into a ten-foot radius process. We are going to reduce the total volume of energy transformation patterning several millionfold. In order to be able to send that man off into"

In order to be able to do that we are, in effect, building a little house-- a little space house. We had been using the word 'capsule,' which has hidden from the fact that what science is really working on is a little house; not much room to move around in, no garden of roses outside, but nonetheless, a little house with a six billion dollar mortgage.
"In this strange battle of man to anticipate offensive-defensive weaponry battles in the cold warring, the battle to attain the moon, or protracted living upon a platform in space, has brought about a race in capital funding initiatives between Russia and the United States specifically in relation to this little house, amounting to six billion dollars. This staggering amount is now appropriated to hire scientists to go to work to design and produce one little sky house, the first scientific human dwelling in history. It must be capable of sustaining man as a metabolic success anywhere in Universe. It won't be a very charming little house. It won't be 'good architecture' by the traditional a-la-mode"

Above all I want you architects at this Seventh World Congress of the I.U.A. to realize that what the space scientists are working on is in fact the design of a house: that is architecture. The scientists are in your business competing with you in the solution of all the problems that a house for regenerative man involves. It involves every one of the fundamental principles ever discovered by man in Universe. The scientists are attending to the dwelling problems that you have failed to attend to or have left to someone else to solve, as for instance, the plumbers. When the prototype moon dwelling and its space autonomy mechanics are developed, and it has been satisfactorily test orbited for 100 days, and that house has finally taken man successfully to the moon, or to a space platform, there to dwell for months, then we will have history's first scientific semi-autonomous dwelling. In that sky dwelling we will have the energy exchange processes, internal and external to man's ecology, becoming locally regenerative.

The technology will have to be performed superlatively before we shoot man to the moon or sky platform. This means that the problems will be solved on Earth and not in the sky. The mechanics of solution will be produced here on Earth. The establishment of this capability here on Earth also is going to make possible a very different kind of dwelling technology right here on Earth. We will no longer have to have water pipes and sewer systems. Mankind will suddenly start mass-producing the space house prototype's pipeless, wireless, trackless ability to deploy man around the Earth's surface as well as in space.

The sky house man must be made capable of taking position at will, either by interior or remote control, approximately anywhere in the dynamic intercoordination of physical Universe. Yet, by virtue of entropy, that is of inherent local loss of energy of all local systems in Universe, the sky house may not be perpetually independent and self-regenerative. It is ultimately dependent upon the good will replenishment of that local and remote ecological system by the organized energetic activities of other men acting both as individuals and as vast teams, coordinated under the predominant will of organizations of men on Earth."

Structures are always special case. Structures are operational. Operational = physically realized. Structures always have unique size. By definition, a structure is a complex of energy events interacting to produce a stable pattern.
An energy event is always special case. Whenever we have the experienced energy we have special case. The physicist's first definition of physical is that it is an experience which is extracorporeally, remotely, instrumentally apprehendible. Metaphysical are all the experiences that are excluded by the definition of physical. Metaphysical is always generalized principle.

"Weightless, abstract human mind reviews and from time to time discovers mathematically reliable and abstractly statable interrelationships existing between and amongst, but not 'in' or 'of,' any of the special-case experience components of the relationship.
"When a long-term record of testing proves the relationship to persist without exception, it is rated as a scientifically generalized principle. Whenever human mind discovers a generalized principle to exist amongst the special-case experience sets, the discovery event itself becomes a new special-case experience to be stored in the brain bank and recalled when appropriate. Amongst a plurality of brain-stored, newly understood experiences, mind has, from time to time, discovered greater and more significant understandings, which in their turn as discoveries, which are 'experiences,' constitute further very special-case experiences to be stored in the recallable and reconsiderable brain bank's wealth of special-case experiences."

Specialist: Born with One Eye and a Microscope
"I find it surprising that society thinks of specialization as logical, necessary, desirable, if not inevitable. I observe that when nature wants to make a specialist she's very good at it, whereas she seems to have designed man to be a very generally adaptable creature-- by far the most adaptable creature we know of. If nature had wanted man to be a specialist, I am sure she would have grown him with one eye and a microscope on it. She has designed no such creatures. I observe that every child demonstrates a comprehensive curiosity. Children are interested in everything and are forever embarrassing their specialized parents by the wholeness of their interests. Children demonstrate right from the beginning that their genes are organized to help them to apprehend, comprehend, coordinate, and employ-- in all directions."

Specialization:
"Whitehead pointed out that the men going into those graduate schools and then going into a very specialized area instead of having a broad focus were getting down to a very narrow focus and within that very narrow focus would become specialists themselves so they would be professors of specialization within specialization. The specialists would then become so linear, instead of comprehensive-- instead of being broadcast, they would be narrowly beamed-- and being very bright ones they would make great speed in their linear acceleration. It would mean that they would speed outwardly through the Universe and would become very bright stars in the firmament, but as stars, very remote from one another.
"He pointed out then that because the specialists had been very carefully picked as individuals of high intellectual capability and, of course, intellectual integrity would be implicit. Their own integrity would make clear to them how little anyone outside their specialization could possibly know about their area of inquiry. They wouldn't feel any pride about it-- it would just be a fact that no one else in the public would tend to know anything about what they were talking about. Because they would

Physically, spheres are high-frequency event arrays whose spheric complexity and polyhedral system unity consist structurally of discontinuously islanded, critical-proximity-event huddles, compressionally divergent events, only tensionally and omni-interactively cohered. The pattern integrities of all spheres are high-frequency, traffic-described subdivisioningsa of either tetrahedral, octahedral, or icosahedral angular interference, intertriangulating structures profiling one, many, or all of their respective great-circle orbiting and spinning event characteristics. All spheres are high-frequency geodesic spheres; i.e., triangular-faceted polyhedra, most frequently icosahedral because the icosasphere is the structurally most economical.

Since physics has found no solids or impervious continuums or surfaces, and has found only finitely separate energy quanta, we are compelled operationally to redefine the spheric experience as an aggregate of events approximately equidistant in a high-frequency aggregate in almost all directions from one only approximate event. Since nature always interrelates in the most economical manner, and since great circles are the shortest distances between points on spheres, and since chords are shorter distances than arcs, then nature must interrelate the spheric aggregated events by the chords, and chords always emerge to converge, ergo converge convexly around each spheric system vertex, ergo the sums of the angles around the vertexes of spheric system never 22 add to 3600."

So our only way of defining a spherical experience in modern scientific terms is an aggregate of events approximately equidistant in approximately all directions from one approximate event. That's the nearest we can come. It is then a Galaxy of very approximate event points. There being no continuum, these energy events have relationships. And the most economical relationships between circular or spherically arrayed points are not the arcs, but the chords. I've come to discovering how very powerful all this is as its going on in geodesic domes which is simply what I'm talking about: an array of points approximately equidistant from one point and making all the most economical chordal interrelationships which makes them always triangulated."

"In further demonstration of the non-mirrored complementary phenomena, we note that compression columns become more and more effective as we make them fatter and fatter going from long, thin cylinders to cigar-shaped systems. By increasing the compression member's relative girth and shortening its height still further, we finally develop a compression structure that is spherical.
"The sphere is compressionaly ideal. As a slender column it had to be loaded carefully on its neutral vertical axis to avoid eccentric bending. When it is a sphere, however, the compression loads applied from any direction are automatically opposed by one of an infinity of neutral axes. The sphere provides nature's optimum limit in structural opposition to compressive forces in universe-- ergo, the stars and planets and atoms are all spherical islands of compression."

The Greeks defined a sphere as 'A surface equidistant in all directions from a point.' As defined there could be no holes in the sphere, because if there were any holes the surface would be turning inwardly around the holes rim, and radius would change and the holes would leave areas within them where radius would not be equal in all directions. The Greeks' definition inferred that there is some kind of continuous and impervious continuum which absolutely subdivides all the universe which is outside the sphere forever, from all the universe which is inside the sphere. Were there no holes in the sphere, there could be no possible energy traffic inbound or outbound-- therefore entropy. Entropy-- the second law of thermodynamics shows that every local energy system in physical universe is always losing or emitting energy. The minimum set of all energy transactions and transformation is physical universe itself. Therefore only universe as an aggregate of non-simultaneous energy event transformings is the only possible perpetual motion system. If we could have a local perpetual motion machine we could throw away the rest of universe. Therefore the sphere, as defined by

Now a sphere is defined by the Greeks as a surface equidistant in all directions from a point. No man has ever witnessed an impervious surface so we can't say that any more. The definition by the Greeks of a surface equidistant in all directions means it could have no holes in it because then the radius would change. This would be the first definition of antientropy that you would successfully subdivide an inwardness from an outwardness-- subdivide the Universe in two parts and have no traffic" between them. "But my definition of a sphere-- really like a Hilbert point system-- is a plurality of events approximately equidistant in one direction [sic] from one event. This is a very satisfactory one." It accommodates a "very high frequency of events, but it does change mathematics completely. You will find it affects us.

"Aiming of the compressional loading of a short column into the neutral or central-most axis of the column provides the greatest columnar resistance to the compressing because, being the neutral axis, it brings in the most mass coherence to oppose the force. To make a local and symmetrical island of compression from a short column which axial loading has progressively twisted and expanded at girth, into a cigar shape, you have to load it additionally along its neutral axis until the ever-fattening cigar shape squashes into a sphere. In the spherical condition, for the first and only time, any axis of a spherical structure is neutral-- or, ergo, in its most effective resistant-to-compression attitude. It is everywhere at highest compression and tension resisting capability to withstand any forces acting upon it."

As there may be no absolute division of energetic universe into isolated or non-communicable parts, there is no absolute enclosed surface or absolutely enclosed volume; therefore, no true or absolutely defined simultaneous surface sphere integrity. Therefore, a sphere is a polyhedron of invisible plurality of trussed facets ('trussed' because all polygons are reducible to triangles or trusses and are further irreducible) and trusses are therefore basic polygons.

In a compound curvature sphere of paper all the surface represents an intertriangulation of great circles, wherefore each great circle helps the other. Each is a compression circle enclosed within a tension circle. If we try to flatten the sphere, its equator cannot move outwardly to accomodate the down thrust as did the girth of the paper cylinder. Therefore, no one circle can lever its compressive interior against polar points, and, disunited, fail. In the sphere, the pressure at one point must invoke an infinity of great circles to crush an infinity of points simultaneously in a progressively rolling radius as the sphere is gradually pushed inside out-- but never flattened-- and only rolls the wave to the equator, which holds. Even in its inside-outness the sphere maintains its comprehensive interaction of system, seeking to re-establish its shape. Thus do balls tendm to bounce.

Sphere: Volume-surface Ratios
← Sphere of Unit Vector Radius | Spherics (3) →
Index Entry
The largest number of similar triangles into which the whole surface of a sphere may be divided is 120. The surface triangles of each of these 120 triangles consist of one angle of 90°, one of 60°, and one of 36°. Each of these 120 surface triangles is the fourth face of a similar tetrahedron whose three other faces are internal to the sphere. Each of these 120 tetra has the same volume as have the A or B Quanta Modules. Where the tetra is 1, the sphere's volume is 5. Dividing 120 by 5 = 24 quanta modules per tetra. The division of the sphere of volume 5 by its 120 quanta modules discloses another unit system behavior of the number 24 as well as its appearance in the 24 external vector edges of the vector equilibrium.

"In this particular experiment the triangular 'corks,' (i.e., octahedra) were small enough to render this /.005 aluminum/ foil of structural effectiveness. . . .
"What is unique about this Kumasi dome is that the octa corks had their triangular radial great-circle plane surfaces mathematically guided together only by two control holes in each of their abutting triangular great-circle plane faces . . . to tentatively guide the approach of these surfaces toward one another and thereafter to cohere the whole spherical system in a loose manner. . . . Wire bands described all 31 of the basic great circles of the icosahedron's symmetrical subdivisions.. Fifteen of these great circles lie alternately along the edge of the icosahedron and then act as vertical bisectors of the next two icosahedral major triangles. Of the 31, the remaining ten and six great circles interact with the 15 great circles in such a manner that they form approximately uniform tensional triangles overlying a six-frequency truncatable icosahedral pattern, with the wires crossing over all the vertexes as well as the mid-faces of the system to impinge vertically on the edges opposite each of the verticals."

"Thus it is found that 31 great circles act as the most effective 'spherical barrel' bands (where a 6 - 12 frequency, truncatable, icosahedronal pattern is employed) for each of the wires runs over the external surface centers of each of the octa-cork's triangular faces, thrusting each 'cork' inwardly toward the center of the system in such a manner that the tightening of the bands brings about a universal contraction of the sphere.
"As the tensional great circle bands were contracted progressively at Kumasi, it was found most practical to first tighten the set of six great circles. This left the sphere with a set of 12 dodecahedral 'mountain' bulges. We next contracted the 15 great circles. This brought the sphere into greater symmetry which was totally effective when the 10 great circles were also tautened.
"'Where the great circle wire bindings crossed, they had to be tied together but not tightly, i.e., they were run through rings. They didn't need to be tied tightly together, merely guided."

Everything I have said here adds up to the fact that the sphere is 'complex unity' and the triangle 'simplex unity.' Here and here alone lie the principles governing finite solution of all structural and general systems theory problems. Local isolations of infinite open-ended plane and linear edged (seemingly 'flat' and infinite) segments of what are "in reality vast spherical systems-- when taken out of context-- are hopelessly special-cased indeterminate situations.
"Unfortunately engineering has committed itself in the past exclusively to these locally infinite and inherently indeterminate systems and have had to rely essentially on the test-proven local behaviors of small systems such as columns, beams, levers, et. al., opinionatedly fortified with 'safely guesstimated' complex predictions. Not until we have universal finite omnitriangulated nonredundant structural system comprehension can we enjoy the advantage of powerful physical generalizations concisely describing all structural behaviors." - Cite Ltr. to Shoji Sadao, 15 Feb '66, p. 5

It should elucidate also the increased fail-safe advantage accomplished with each increase of frequency of triangular module subdivisions of the sphere's unitary surface; i.e., failure of one triangular cork in an omnitriangulated spherical grid leaves a triangular hole which is utterly innocuous. Failure of one stave in a simple curvature barrel and the whole thing collapses.
"Failure of two adjacent triangular corks in a spherical system leaves a diamond-arched opening which is stable and innocuous; likewise the failure of five or six triangles leaves a completely arched pent or hex opening which is circumferentially corked and innocuous. Failure of one spherical tension member likewise leaves an only slightly relaxed, two-way detoured, i.e., diamonded relaying of the throughway tensional continuity.
Considerable relaxing of the spherical triangulated cork barrel system by many local tension failures can occur without freeing the corks to dangerously loosened local rotatability. The higher the frequency and the deeper the inter-trussing, the safer this type of spherical structure."

"Physics' discovery of universally-multifrequenced, periodic-event-discontinuity outness (in complementation to equally frequenced, event-occurrence in-ness) is inherent in the always-experientially-verifiable, wave-duration frequency, photon-quantum phenomena; wherefore synergetics had to redefine both volumes and surfaces in terms of dense (high-frequency) aggregates of only pointally-positionable, energy events' geometrical formulations, with spherical 'surfaces' being in operational reality a dense, outermost, single-photon-thick, 'cloud' layer, everywhere approximately equidistant in all directions from one approximately-locatable event center. For this reason the second-power exponential rate of area gain is not to be identified as a continuum, i.e., with a continuous system, but only with the high-frequency outermost layer population aggregate of energy-event points. With numbers of photons and wave frequency per primitive volume, the relative concentration of given masses are determinable."

The 20 equilateral triangles of the planar icosahedron can be symmetrically subdivided into six small right triangles by perpendicularly bisecting each angle. The angles of each small triangle are 90°, 60° and 30° and therefore each of the sides is different in length. In the spherical icosahedron, however, the angles are 90°, 60° and 36° with the last angle 60° more than the corresponding angle in the planar icosahedron. This is due to spherical excess."

With successive inside surface caromings and angular intervectpr impingements, the dynamic symmetry imposed by a sphere tends to equalize the angular interrelationship of all those triangle-forming sets of three great circles which, shunting automatically, tend averagingly to reproduce spherically closed symmetrical systems of omnisimilar triangles exactly reproduced in their opposite hemisphere, quarter-spheres, and octa-spheres. This means that if there were only three great circles they would tend swiftly to interstabilize comprehensively as the spherical octahedron all of whose surface angles and arcs (central angles) average as 90°."

Now that ought not to surprise you because you remember that when we took the vector equilibrium and collapsed it, it became the octahedron and all the vectors were doubled, so this is fairly logical. This is six great circles but the first that I could make. I couldn't make it with one, or two, or three, but I can make it with four. This is of six."

"No surface is conceivable without its inherent sphere as a truly flat Universe reaching outwards laterally in all directions to infinity, though illusionarily accepted as 'obvious' by historical humanity, is contradictory to experience. The surface of any system must return to itself in all directions and is most economically successful in doing so as an approximate true sphere which contains the most volume with the least surface. Nature always seeks the most economical solutions, ergo the sphere is normal to all systems experience and to all experiential, i.e., operational consideration and formulation. The construction of a triangle involves a surface and a curved surface is most economical and experimentally satisfactory. A sphere is a closed surface, a unitary finite surface. Planes are never finite. Once a triangle is constructed on the surface of a sphere-- because a triangle is a boundary line closed upon itself-- the finitely closed boundary lines of the triangle automatically divide the unit surface of the sphere into two separate surface areas. Both are bounded by the same three great circle arcs and their three vertexial links: which is the description of a triangle. Therefore both areas are true triangles, yet with common edge"

Inasmuch as convex and concave are opposites, they cannot be the same. Therefore, a minimum of four triangles is always induced when any one triangle is constructed, and which one is the initiator or inducer of the others is irrelevant.

Sphere divide the total surface into two finite areas each of which are bound by three edges and three angles, ergo by two triangles, but these triangles are on the surface of a system whose unity of volume was thereby divided into centrally angled tetrahedra because the shortest lines on sphere surfaces are great circles and great circles are always formed on the surface of a sphere by planes going through the center of the sphere, which planes of the three-great-circle-arc-edged triangle drawn on the surface automatically divide the whole sphere internally into two spherical tetrahedra-- each of which has its four triangles, ergo inscribing one triangle 'gets you Eight,' like it or not. And each of those eight triangles has its inside and outside, wherefore inscribing one triangle, which is the minimum polygon, like 'Open Sesame,' inadvertently gets you 16 triangles. And that is not all: the sphere on which you scribed is a system and not the whole Universe, and your scribing a triangle on it to stake out your 'little area on Earth' not only begat 16 terrestrial triangles but also induced the remainder of Universe outside the system and inside the system to manifest their invisible or nonunitarily conceptual 'minimum inventorying' of 'the rest of Universe other than Earth'

"I spoke to you earlier today about our teacher at the school giving us some arithmetic and then saying she was going to teach us a little bit about plane geometry. She said, 'Don't worry, it's just plane geometry.' Then she taught us about the triangle as an area bound by closed lines: three edges and three angles. A circle is an area bound by a closed line of equal radius from a point. A square is an area bound by a closed line of four equal edges and four equal angles. Everything we learned about geometry were areas bound by closed lines. And then we learned about logic within those closed lines about that area. Reliability and understandability was all on one side of the line. A very nice small tight package, but it couldn't tell us anything about the other side of the line. Why? Because it is plane geometry and goes to infinity so the other side of the line is undefinable. What do you mean by infinity? It's infinite, therefore it can't be defined. So that we start the children off with this extraordinary prejudice that only on one side of the line is there reliability.

Now I want you to see how we really build prejudice, how easy it is in terms of the superficial assumption of the reality of this great plane-- that this is a safe place to start children off. Now I want you to realize that when we made that closed line we did it on a blackboard and I did it with a piece of crayon, and this blackboard ends and goes around to the other side. It has another side here /(He knocks on it.) and it has edges§ on it. It is a system. This blackboard, I can take it off here§, and I find that it is a system. It has insideness and outside ness and is fairly thick-- about a quarter of an inch. And I'm still inside it. So it is a system even though it's an asymmetrical system. When I take a unit system it has a unit surface. When I draw a closed line on a system which is a unit surface I divide the whole area of that system, the whole surface area, into two areas. There is the rest of the board here that is an area bound by this closed line of three edges and three angles.

Now the board being asymmetrical makes it more difficult for you for the moment, but I want you to think about our Earth. We had a circle which was an area bound by a closed line with equal radius from a point. Well, taking our Earth, I'm now going to make a closed line on it and it happens to be 90 degrees from each of the poles and you would call it the equator. It's a closed line on the surface and it divides the Earth into a southern hemisphere and a northern hemisphere. You credit both sides of the line. Now I'm going to take you up to 80 degrees north latitude and draw a lesser circle. It divides the surface of the Earth into two areas: a very large souther one and a very small northern. We can just call it the Arctic circle and the rest of the Earth. But you don't negate the rest of the Earth and you do recognize both sides of the line."

You say can that really be so. And I say yes it is so and let me demonstrate that to you.
"Take, for instance, what we call a great circle. A great circle is a line formed on a sphere by a plane going through the center of the sphere. The equator is such a great circle. The meridians of longitude are just such great circles and they go through the center. 80 degrees north latitude is a lesser circle: it does not go through the center of the sphere. Now great circles are the shortest distances between points on the surface of a sphere. If you would like to demonstrate that we'll simply go up to 85 degrees north latitude-- it's really a very small little circle here-- and take the radius"

"So great circles are called geodesics. The word geodesic is old but it was revived by both Einstein and the Indian Riemann [sic], and it means the most economical relationship between events in the Universe, and they are never straight lines. If, for instance, we see two airplanes in flight. They're independent of the surface of the Earth. They are steerable planets if you will. Photographs were taken at night of airplanes fighting during WWII at night with tracer bullets. Both were using machine guns with tracer bullets, and you'll see one of them hit the other and it goes inward to the Earth. You see the tracery is an absolute corkscrew. If you are for instance wanting to fire at a bird, which I hope you don't want to fire at one, but if you did want to fire at a bird you wouldn't hit it if you aim at where it is.

And because I went a quarter way around the Earth, and then I left the equator at 90 degrees, looking down on top of what I've done, I went like this, and therefore the angle at the north pole must also be 90 degrees. So here's a spherical triangle of 90°, 90°, and 90°, adding up to 270° in its corners. These are the triangles we really do deal with in our Universe.
"If we were to bisect the edges of that triangle with great circles, interconnecting them, the angles would be about 73° at each corner. If I bisect them again and interconnect them with much smaller triangles, the corners are around 63°. Then if I get a smaller one here that 60 degrees and some minutes, or maybe 60 degrees and some seconds-- but they never get down to exactly 60° in each corner. That is, it will always be a little more than 180 degrees. So the smaller the triangle, the more you approach the 180-degreeness which you never arrive at. But the amount the triangles at the corners add up to more than 180 degrees we call the spherical excess, which you must always calculate when you're doing"

""Now if I made another triangle bigger still, in which the
90° corners were 120° angles . . . that's exactly what you
get with a spherical tetrahedron. If I put a tetrahedron
inside of a sphere with the light I had last night, and have
the shadows cast outwardly from the light at the center of
the sphere, it would show you this 120 degree interaction
at four vertexes. So there would be a triangle where each
of the corners would be 120° and it would add up to 360°.
Now I'll simply say to you then, that when you draw a
triangle on our Earth, even though it's very local-- and you
draw a little tiny triangle here locally-- you divide the
total surface of the Earth into two areas. And one is a very
large triangle with corners of about 300° each, and there are
these little local ones of about 60° each if you try to make
it equilateral. The boy said, 'But I didn't mean to draw the
big triangle.' I said, 'That's just the trouble. We keep
drawing these big triangles and don't realize we are,' We've
been thinking what's been called realistic. Let's get down

So you start your geometry with plane geometry. You start trigonometry with plane trigonometry. But in due course you discovered that it wasn't a plane, it was a sphere. A closed system, not an open system. And you found that you were only defining on one side of the line because the other side went on to infinity. So you learned about the triangle, and the circle, and all these areas bound by closed lines. And you learned that all logic and reliability is one one side of a line: the area bound. On the other side of the line-- you couldn't define it because it went to infinity-- therefore it is undefinable. So as geometry is taught to you, and trigonometry is taught to you, you can only deal with one side of the line.

What we call thinking is trying to find out how it does return upon itself: What is the outline of that man? What is going on? What is on the other side of the Moon? I have got to get all the sides in order to understand it.
"I think this Moon thing is typical of seeming to be a plane. You didn't have to think about the other side of it. This is typical of yesterday's way of thinking. Things were just a disc. But even if it was a disc you could have another side. As a coin does. Now, once you are operational, you realize that if you take the unit surface of any system, whether it is symmetrical, a nice regular thing like a sphere, or whether it is a blackboard with very thin edges but nonetheless it has surfaces and it has backs.

Well you have been taught the wrong way because the sums of the angles never add up to 180°, because you cannot make an absolutely flat plane. There is always something a little more. And this is a case where you really see how much more.
"If you have a very big triangle, for instance, going to the north pole, taking a meridian to the equator, impinging on the equator at 90°; go one-quarter of the way back around the Earth and take a meridian back to the north pole; it leaves the equator at 90° and comes back where the two come together and th angle at the top will be 90°. So 90°, 90°, 90° is 270°-- that is the typical spherical triangle. And the sums of the angles of spherical triangles are approximately never the same. If I make a smaller triangle just inside of the one that I just talked about where there is 90°,90°, 90°, the sums of the angles are going to be a little less. It approaches, but never gets down to 60°, 60°, 60°. It is always a little more. So the smaller they are, the more they approach 180°.

If we draw a lesser sized circle on the Earth such as the circle of north latitude 70 degrees, it divides our Earth's total surface into a very large southern area and a relatively small northern area. If we go outdoors and draw a circle on the ground it will divide the whole area of our planet Earth into two areas and one will be very small and the other very large. If our little circle has an area of one square foot, the big circle has an area of approximately five quadrillion square feet, because our eight-thousand mile diameter Earth has an approximately 200 million-square-mile surface and each square mile has approximately 25 million square feet which, multiplied, gives a five followed by fifteen zeros-- 5,000,000,000,000,000 square feet.

If, instead of drawing a little one-square-foot circle on the ground-- which means on the surface of the spherical Earth-- we were to draw a square one foot on each side, this would give us the same size local area as before: one square foot.
"A square as defined by Euclid is 'an area bound by a closed line of four equal length edges and four equal and identical angles.' By this definition our little square, one foot to a side, which we have drawn on the ground is a closed line of four equal edges and equal angles. But this divides all the Earth's surface into two areas both of which are equally bound by four equal length edges and four equal angles. Therefore, we have two squares: one little local one and one enormous one. And the little one's corners are approximately 90 degrees each, which makes the big square's corners 270 degrees each. While you are not familiar with such thinking, you are confronted with a physical experiment's results which have informed you that you have been laboring under many debilitating illusions."

As you do so, using great circle lines, which are the shortest distances on a sphere between any two points, to draw the squares' edges, you will find the small square's corner angles are increasing and the big one's corners are decreasing. If you now make your square so that it's area is one-half that of Earth 25 million square miles, in order to have all your edges the same and all your angles the same, you will find that each of your edges is approximately six thousand miles long and that each of the corners of both squares are 180 degrees each. That is to say that the edges of both squares lie along the Earth's equator so that the areas of both are approximately 12,500,000 square miles.

If the triangle is drawn large enough, it is evident that the arcs divide the surface of the sphere into two triangles enclosed by common edges. The are apparently 'outside' one triangle is seen to be 'inside' the other. Because every spherical surface has two aspects--convex if viewed from outside; concave if viewed from within--each of these triangles is, in itself, two triangles.

So he scratches a triangle and I say, 'You have drawn four triangles: When you draw on the Earth you must recognize that the Earth is a great sphere. As a sphere it is a closed or finite surface in contrast to the infinity of the plane. You will agree with me when I make a closed line around the middle of the Earth (that is, I delineate the equator) that this will divide the Earth into two finite and equally valid areas, a northern and a southern hemisphere. If I made a lesser circle north of the equator it would still run around and close back on itself and divide the Earth's surface into two unequal areas, a smaller northerly and a larger southerly area, simply because I have divided the total unitary and finite surface of the sphere into two sub-areas.' So when a student draws a triangle for me on the unitary, closed finite surface of our spherical planet, he divides the total area of our sphere into two sub-areas, one very large and one very small, both triangular.

Remember there is a hemisphere up there and one down here; and quite clearly that is the equator. . . . Here we have the spherical triangle of 120 degree angles in the northern hemisphere of the sphere-- which you don't tend to see, simply because you tend to look at the smaller one. There is a tendency of man to look at the smaller one. In fact, I will draw a triangle on the board and one of the problems when i put two triangles together and got four, you remember, was because they turned out to be complementary triangles. I draw a triangle on the board here and you are used to the Greek way of just looking at the area bound by the three sides. In fact, the Greeks defined a triangle as an area bound by three lines turning upon themselves, a closed line of three increments. It happens, however, that I have divided the surface of the blackboard into an area on this side of the line and an area on the other side of the line and every time I put in a line it actually divides something. We have a tendency to be extremely biased and only to look at an area on one side of the line.

Index Entry
“If I draw a triangle on the Earth . . . and I asked a student to do that . . . and I said all right, I see four triangles. And he said, I see only one. There is the little area, the area he has defined quite clearly. He has divided the surface of the Earth (which was unit before he drew the triangle) into two areas, the areas on either side of the line. The little local triangle and the big spherical triangle goes clear around the Earth. It is a closed area bound by a line of three increments. It was such a big one he didn’t see it. And it is very typical of us to miss it. One of the most typical tricks I have found in humanity is to see the little www small one and miss the big one and the big one is the one that counts. Then I told him he drew four triangles and he said how did that happen. Well, they are spherical triangles and there is a concave little and a concave big as viewed from inside and there is a convex little and a convex big as viewed from outside. Convex and concave are not the same, so there are inherently four. In fact you will always find there are four there. Four is the minimum; and when we get to any kind of system, there is always four there. You will get used to that fourness and get used to not allowing yourself to become over confined and looking at the little ones.”

Index Entry
Spherical Triangle Sequence:
"When we get to the middle [of the sphere] you are more or less willing to concede both hemispheres, and then you get caught on to the fact that those were 180 degree triangles. . . . What had been the big one is now becoming the little one, and what had been the little one is becoming the big one . . . We get down finally to triangles where the angles are approaching 70 degrees, and they finally get down nearer to sixty degrees and so many minutes. They will never get to 60. Even the most local one will never be 60 degrees. So spherical triangles then do have a great variety of sums of their angles."

Spherical Unity:
"The largest number of identical triangles in a sphere that unity will accommodate is 120: 60 positive and 60 negative. We can subdivide the surface of a sphere into 120 equilateral triangles by dividing the base of each of the 20 original triangles which made up the icosahedron, into six triangles. Being spherical, they are positive and negative, consisting of arcs which cannot hinge back. One is inside, concave and the other is outside, convex. So 60 positive and 60 negative triangles are the largest common denominator of unity."

All the cosmic triangling of all varieties of angles always averages out to 60 degrees. That is the probability of all closed systems of which the Universe is the amorphous largest case. Probability is not linear or planar, but is always following the laws of sphericity or whole systems.

Index Entry
When other scientists seemed to have language more valid than my own I accepted their terminology. But I held to my own terminology when I found it to be warranted, and when other claimants could not be justified. For example, quantum mechanics came many years after I did to employ the term spin. The physicists assured me that their use of the word did not involve any phenomena which truly spun. Spin was only a convenient word for accounting certain unique energy behaviors and investments. My use of the term was to describe a direct investment of experimentally demonstrable unique magnitude of rotation, an actually spinning phenomenon. This was a case when I held to my own terms. In most recent years it is beginning to be realized by the physicists as an actually spinning phenomenon-- as I had demonstrated it as actually occurring almost half a century ago. .. In recent years I found the term spin being adopted by others; sometimes with the same meaning, sometimes with other meanings. But from the viewpoint of half a century there appears to be an increasing convergence of scientific explorations, epistemology, and semantics with my own evolutionary development.

Spinach:
"Copper taken directly by humans is toxic. When spinach grows in the presence of copper as in those great fields in Northern Michigan (near the copper deposits I got to know at Phelps Dodge), the spinach takes in the copper in a way that is structurally and mechanically geared with the metabolic gears of humans. Copper is all right and fills in a deficiency if it fits properly. Spinach accomplishes the gearing. A gear is designed to mesh with other gears. But one loose gear put into the machinery will strip all the others. When it is on the right pinion it meshes with the other gears and can bridge a gear-train gap. That's exactly what happens to copper and spinach. Henry Schroeder worked with the trace elements. He showed that one Chromium atom is the difference between a diabetic and a nondiabetic. The word diet makes for great confusion. It's not under-nourishment, it's just getting the right deficiency chemistry into the brain which may be lacking certain gears."

Spinach:
"Copper if it is present in the soil where you are growing spinach-- spinach tends to inhibit the copper as a pattern and spinach that has inhibited copper also will inhibit some gold and silver and then the human being can inhibit the gold, silver and the copper in very small percentages, but they are literally inhibitable and apparently measurably to the advantage of the human being. Copper taken in other ways than being inhibited first by spinach can poison a man; it can be lethal. We find that copper taken in the right way can be beneficial and in the wrong way makes trouble. Remeber now that we are dealing not in a thing but in a pattern. . .

"All actions are spiral because they cannot go through themselves and because there is time. The remote aspect of a spiral is a wave because there are no planes.
"As with coil springs, in tensors and vectors of equal magnitude, the spiralinearity of the vector is shorter in overall spatial extent than is the spiralinearity of the tensor. Compressed lines or rods tend to arcs of diminishing radius; tensed lines or rods tends to arcs of increasing radius."

Squatters (1)
Index Entry
Squatters:
"All around the world there are large squatter settlements, as for instance in Puerto Rico, Caracas, and Bombay. These squatter settlements may increase by as many as a million people a year. These settlements are referred to formally as 'self-help' groups because they improvise something to sleep under that sheds off the rain, whether it's high wet-strength, three-ply, corrugated paperboard or rusty corrugated iron. These squatters are on land that by sovereignty-originated deeds of law 'belongs' to somebody else. The squatters are continually approached by racketeers who tell them (secretly) that the police are going to show up and evict them, but if the head of the family or the individual will give the racketeer some money, he knows the owners and will arrange that they be allowed to remain,
"In order to cope with this phenomenon, the UN Vancouver Conference passed a very extraordinarily wise and humanly considerate resolution. In travelling around the world and visiting such squatter settlements, I have observed their beautiful community life. People introuble cooperate in a thoughtful and loving way. Their way of life is so beautiful that I have always said that if I ever have to retire I will

"It was also observed by the majority of the UN delegates
that the people coming to squat are very ingenious in the way
they employ the materials to keep the rain off. Therefore,
one of the first resolutions passed by the Vancouver conference... recommended that all nations decree by law that all
the land which these squatters occupy be made public lands
on which the people are allowed to continue. It was part of
the same motion that the squatters be given much better
materials with which to accomplish their environmental

If we multiply the first four primes we get 30. If we multiply 30 times 7,11 and 13 we have 30 x 1001 or 30,030 and we have used the first seven primes. We can be intuitive about the eighth prime because the octave seems to be so important. The eighth prime is 17 and if we multiply 30,030 by 17 we arrive at a fantastically simple number: 510,510. This is what I call an FS!ICQ which stands for Fuller's Sublimely Rememberable Comprehensive Quotient. I can remember the first eight primes factorial-- 510,510!... It is a fantastically big number yet I am able to remember it. When nature gives us a number we can remember it is a pretty extraordinary affair.
If we take the first seven primes factorial to the fifth power we arrive at a sextillion number. A pattern emerges in the construction of this number and it looks like this:
3^5, then 5x3^5, 5x3^5, 3^5 and then five 0's.
The number is 24,421,743,243,121,524,300,000.

In geodesic systems the higher the frequency of the triangular subdivisions, the less vulnerable is a whole system to destruction. In systems constructed with many modular subdivisions, impinging forces are swiftly distributed in the region of the impingement, and are inhibited by the succession of rings which tense around any point of pressure in the symmetrically and totally triangulated network.

It is a synergetic characteristic of minimum structural systems (tetra) that the system is not stable until the last strut is introduced.

A vectorial-edged cube collapses. The cube's corner flexibility can be frustrated only by triangulation. Each of the four corners of the cube's six faces could be structurally stabilized with small triangular gussets, of which there would be 24, with the long edge structurals acting as powerful levers against the small triangles. The complete standard stabilization of the cube can be accomplished with a minimum of six additional membees in the form of six structural struts placed diagonally, corner to corner, in each of the six square faces, with four of the cube's eight corner vertexes so interconnected. These six, end-interconnected diagonals are the six edges of a tetrahedron. The most efficient stabilized cubical form is accomplished with the prime structural system of Universe: the tetrahedron.

"You will recall that I had started with a cube. Recognising that there are two sizes of cubes composited with spheres that we had come to. The first one had been the consequence of precessing together the two one-eighth octahedra, and they had a total of fourteen balls. Then we came to the next cube which occurred in a stable manner in which the vector equilibrium appeared when we knocked off those one-eighth octahedron corners. We saw in the cubical form those really open spaces that are unstable and we found that the whole thing was stabilized internally by being entirely in closest packing of omnitriangulation."

Tetrahedral, octahedral, and icosahedral necklace structures are all stable. Necklace cubes, rhombic dodecahedra, pentadodecahedra, vector equilibria and tetrakaidecahedra are all unstable. Only necklace-omnitriangulated, multifrequency geodesic spheres are stable structures, because they are based entirely on omnitriangulated tetra-, octa-, and icosahedral systems.
The number of vertexes of the omnitriangulated spherical tetra-, octa-, or icosahedral structures of multifrequency geodesic spheres corresponds exactly with the number of external layer spheres of closest-packed, unit radius spherical agglomeration of tetrahedra, octahedra, or icosahedra:
Tetrahedra 2 F^2 +2
Octahedra 4 F^2 +2
Icosahedra 10 F^2 +2
Only tetrahedral, octahedral, and icosahedral structural systems are stable, i.e., complete, nonredundant, self-stabilizing.

Stable Systems and Unstable Systems:
"Unstable systems are conceptual as momentary positional relationships of unstructured-component event aggregates. For example, amongst the stars comprising the Big Dipper-- in Ursa Major-- the second and third stars in the dipper's handle are, respectively, 100- and 200-light-years away from Earth and, though seemingly to us in the same plane, are not all so; and they are both moving in opposite directions and so in due course they will no longer seem to be in the same constellation. In the same way, four airplanes flying in different directions may be within visible range of one another, but are far too remote for mass-interattraction to become critical and pull them into one another. Stable systems are conceptual as structured, which means componently omni-intertriangulated, critical-proximity, interrelevant, coordinate, constellar, event aggregates."
"If the only momentary and optically illusory system consideration proves to be unstable, it does not manifest generalized principle. If systems are stable, they are inherent in and accommodate all generalized principles."

This interlinkage transforms the vector equilibrium's complex symmetry of six squares and eight equiangled triangles into the simplex symmetry of the icosahedron."

The expanding Universe is identified mathematically as a consequence of the law of increase of the random element. As the Universe demonstrates dynamical counterbalancing of all its behaviors, there is also detectable in the local Universe a decrease in the randomness, and a contracting, i.e., an associative phase in cosmic events.
One hundred thousand tons of stardust converge or associate daily upon the Earth's surface. In the topsoil, a biologically regenerative process is going on in which the human sorting and classifying functions and capabilities constitute the most complex chemical differentiating and reassociating phase of the known Universe.

"Thinking is the consideration of different experiences, inherently separate sets of events, and trying to find out what their relatedness is. Each one is a star. How many stars does it take to develop a geometry of outwardness and inwardness? What is the minimum number of stars to divide the universe into outwardness and inwardness? I find it takes a minimum of four. You can't do it with three. Four very clearly has an outsideness and an insideness. This is what we call the tetrahedron which has these four stars and these six sets of interrelatedness. This comes in very interestingly in mathematics with the generalization that you don't have to worry too much about the shape, but the four stars are the minimum which we can really have for an important thought. If I discover only three stars in a thought, there must be at least a fourth star lurking somewhere in the constellation. In fact, I discover that all the number of stars that could possibly be related are always subdivisible by four. The mathematics shows this up very clearly as complexes of tetrahedra. Tetrahedron becomes the minimum thinkable set, the minimum reconsiderable set, and it turns out to be the fundamental increment out of which all thoughts are constructed."

"Now, in the most recent inventory of what we're learning about our physical Universe in a comprehensive manner, usually on the part of the astrophysicists having discovered the isotopes of the different chemical elements and discovering a pattern of relative abundance of those chemical elements, and discovering then that the behavior of the chemical elements is to work from the high number elements down towards the low number. The fact that we do have high numbers such as uranium means there must be some part of the Universe where high number chemical elements are compounded, where they come together. Whereas, in their presence on Earth, they tend to be coming apart, they tend to be working towards the lower number.
"So there's the working assumption that in the implosive forces of the stars we may be developing the high number chemical elements. But the astrophysicist says that no matter how far things come apart, they never come further apart fundamentally than proton and neutron which always and only coexist."

Star Tetrahedron & Vector Equilibrium
← Star Tetrahedron & Icosahedron | Star Tetrahedron & Vector Equilibrium →
Index Entry
There is a syntropic pulsation receptivity and an outward pulsation in dynamic symmetry of the star tetrahedron. As an energy radiator it is entropic. It does not regenerate itself internally, i.e. gravitationally, as does the isotropic-vector-matrix's vector equilibrium. The star tetrahedron's entropy may be the basis of irreversible radiation, whereas the syntropic vector equilibrium's reversibility-- inwardly-outwardly-- is the basis for the gravitationally maintained integrity of Universe. The vector equilibrium produces conservation of omnidynamic Universe despite many entropic local energy dissipations of star tetrahedra. The star tetrahedron is in balance with the vector equilibrium-- pumpable, irreversible, like the electron in behavior. It has the capability of self-position-ability by converting its energy receipts to unique refraction sequences, which could change output actions to other dynamic, distances-keeping orbits, in respect to the-- also only remotely existent and operating-- icosahedron, and its 15 unique, great-circle self-dichotomizing; which icosahedra can only associate with other icosahedra in either linear-beam export or octahedral orbital hover-arounds in respect to any vector equilibrium nuclear group.

Index Entry
Starting with Divergence:
"I don't like the word 'fundamental' because it's just the wrong way to start out thinking. We may use the word 'primitive' to describe the initial self-starting condition of divergence. Thus the primitive.. is quite different from the 'fundamental particles' game of the high-energy research physicists.
"Infinity is like frequency; it is a subdividing. Because synergetics has conceptuality independent of size it permits conceptuality before you start subdividing. There is no a priori size; size commences only with subdivision.
"Instead of 'three-dimensional' we may say insideness-and-outsideness, or we may say four-dimensional, referring to the four planes of the tetrahedron.
"The vector equilibrium is inherently prefrequency with an a priori volume of 20 tetravolumes. The vector equilibrium is... a priori fourth powering."

Starting With Parts: The Nonradial Line:
"Since humanity started with parallel lines, planes, and cubes, it also adopted the edge line of the square and cube as the prime unit of mensuration. This inaugurated geomathematical exploration and analysis with a part of the whole, in contradistinction to synergetics' inauguration of exploration and analysis with total Universe, within which it discovers whole conceptual systems, within which it identifies subentities always dealing with experimentally discovered and experimentally verifiable information.
"Though life started with whole Universe, humans happened to pick one part-- the line, which was so short a section of Earth arc (and the Earth's diameter so relatively great) that they assumed the Earth-scratched-surface line to be straight. The particular line of geometrical reference humans picked happened not to be the line of most interattractive integrity. It was neither the radial line of radiation nor the radial line of gravity of spherical Earth. From this nonradial line of nature's event field, humans developed their formulas for calculating areas and volumes of the circle and the sphere only in relation to the cube-edge lines, developing empirically the 'transcendentally irrational,' ergo incommensurable, number pi (π), 3.14159... ad infinitum, which provided practically tolerable approximations of the dimensions of circles and spheres."

Index Entry
Our definition of Universe provides for the undiscovered and for the yet-to-be-discovered. Do not worry about that furthermost star which is yet to be consciously apprehended by any human being. Do not think that we have not provided for those physical or chemical phenomena as yet not observed and recorded by human or mechanical sensing devices. The existence of such phenomena may not have even been postulated but they can all be accommodated by our definition of Universe.
Because we start with whole Universe we have left nothing out: there is no multiplication by addition; there is only multiplication by division. The furthermost star and the most unfamiliar physical phenomena are accommodated by further arithmetical subdividing of our aggregate of overlapping experiences. Nothing could have been left out when you start with whole Universe.

Status Quo
RBF Definitions
"Evolution is the net irreversible inexorability of change. All else is what men call status quo: just the ounces of cream of change on the tons of milk of the status quo. Cream soon sours. Cream changes. . .
"Status quo is a multidimensional tapestry of what has been and will never be again, and is ipso facto, no longer existent. It is evident that 99 per cent of society is preoccupied with status quo, ergo with nonreality, ergo ignorantly. . .
"The youth of today are casting off all the so-called educational preoccupations for sustaining the status quo. Youth tends to jettison the status quo aside*, as does the chick breaking out of its egg leaving the shell behind, irreversibly broken. . .
"All the king's own free-enterprise attempts to perpetuate the profitability of the status quo, cannot put Humpty Dumpty together again."

Straight
Index Entry
Man's experiences with curvilinear paths suggested that the waviness could be reduced to straightness. Physics finds only waves. Some are of exquisitely high frequency, but inherently discontinuous because consisting of separate event packages. They are oscillating to and from negative universe, that is to say, in pulsation.

Structural Sequence:
"Speaking in terms of generalized law, structure is the consequence of a complex of six energy events, three dominantly tensive and three dominantly compressive, interacting in a complementary way to produce a self-regeneratively stabilised pattern. Contrary to common misconceptioning, even that of engineers, structures are omnidynamic--never static. All special case structural realizations have specific longevities. All structures are entropic, i.e., they give off energy. The energies are often syntropically replaceable. Any and all of what humans identify as substance of any and all structure consists entirely of atoms.
"Atoms are not things. They are energy events occurring in pure principle. Physics has found no solids, no things. All substances consist of atoms: x-illions of atoms interarranged in inherently coherent patterns, inherent because governed synergetically by generalized pattern integrity relationships. Each and every experimentally evidenced atom is a complex of unique system interrelationships, both internal and external, which reappear as unique special case energy investments manifesting generalized pattern integrity principles in unique special case scenario continuities."

"The nonobjectively-identifiables are sometimes only inferentially identifiably as being consistently present at a consistent fractional magnitude. All the intertransformings and conversions are nonsimultaneous and occur at a plurality of unique rates and magnitudes of intensity, duration, and synergetic behavioral proclivities, the sum total of which nonsimultaneous and only partially overlapping transformations or conversion durations are inherently nonunitarily conceptual and together produce what we have described as scenario Universe, which has neither an inherent beginning nor ending, in contradistinction to any"

Everybody thinks they know the meaning of the word 'structure.' They point to a stone wall, bridge, or barn, saying 'that's a structure.' But what is really meant by the word structure? What is common to a steel bridge, a wooden barn, a jumbo jet, an iceberg, a starfish, a star, a fern, a diamond jewel, an elephant, a cloud, and a human baby? They are all structures. Some are more versatile. Some last longer than others. Why? Why does the stone, wood, and steel cohere at all?
Understanding a little more about structure could lead to a better understanding of the economic and political dilemmas of our time. Political and economic systems are structures, often so ill-conceived as to require constant local patching and mending. Even structural engineering has, as yet, failed to adequately comprehend, define, and cope with structure.

And we use the word structure a great deal. I want it to have real meaning when I use the word structure. This consists of six independent parts, three flexible angler and three rigid edges. Push-pull members, they're called. A structure is a complex of events which interacts in such a manner as to produce a stable pattern. And this triangle-- and a triangle alone-- will produce these conditions. In other words, when I use the word structure, it turns out to be uniquely the triangle. Everything you say you recognize, means that you recognize a pattern. The recognizability of the pattern must go back to some triangles.

The triangle is the only structure. Unless it is self-regeneratively stabilized it is not a structure.
Everything that you have ever recognized in the universe as a pattern is re-recognized as the same pattern you have seen before. Because only the triangle persists as a constant pattern any recognized patterns must be recognizable only by virtue of being a triangle or a complex of triangles. This is the only possible basis of recognition. Only triangularly structured patterns are regenerative patterns. Triangular structuring is a pattern integrity itself. This is what we mean by structure.

"rations. These patterns may be described (Fig. 1) 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 of 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.
"All the forces operative in Universe result in a complex progression of most comfortable (i.e., least effort) arrangements in which the macro-medio-micro star events stand together here and there as locally regenerative patterns. I call these spontaneously regenerative local constellations basic structures since they appear to be universally and inherently recurrent.

"Now you know what I mean by structures as the inherently regenerative local constellar subpatternings of Universe. Since by my own definition Universe is the historically synchronous aggregate of all men's consciously apprehended and communicated (to self or others) experiences, and since the experiences are each finite but nonsimultaneous, Universe is a nonsimultaneous yet dynamically synchronous structure, which is unitarily nonconceptual as of any one moment, yet as an aggregate of finites is sum-totally finite. Thus we realize that finite structures are mostly nonconceptual in any momentary sense, though certain local structures in Universe are momentarily conceptual, such for instance as the continually transforming historical aggregate of men's experiences packaged together in the words "Planet Earth." This may be a difficult introduction to the subject of structures but it sets the stage for further thought searching on a subject whose heretofore illusory 'static solidness' has completely misled human thought and occasioned the last century's discoveries of science to be perversely surprising information seemingly to be dealt with only by geniuses." - Cite Conceptuality of Fundamental Structures (Kepes) p.68, 1965

Mathematics is the science of structure and pattern

Subconscious: All I know is that without my subconscious--extraordinarily reliable phenomenon--that I say what is the name of that man? or the name of something? and this feedback suddenly comes back, the searching capability is really very magnificent.
I can't tell myself that I want to wake up at such and such a time or second. I will do that. Much of my experience of inventing and exploring physical problems comes to a terminal condition on a given day, but I know what it is that I need to discover. I'm very liable to wake up with the answer because the subconscious goes right on processing. So the subconscious is something very impressive. I think we are very much misappraised of the magnitude of the subconscious and conscious. I think we are probably 99.999 percent subconsciously operative. With no awareness of /? _. If I had to consciously take care of all the self-replacing of myself and my fingers, etcetera, we would have no down time at all. I have processed over 1000 tons of air, food, and water that became temporarily a part of the organism.

Subconsciously must mean operating pre-designedly in reference to an ideally designed complex conceptioning operation, such ideal design being typified by, for instance, the conceptual pattern integrities comprised of sizeless triangulations of critical proximity events which exhibit progressively slowing transitions from relatively great size orbital precessing self-interfering themselves into relatively small size, local mass attraction orbiting, thence into an even more local fall-in proximities, and into one or another of their inevitable interference pattern alternatives, as for instance, smash-ups, reflections, refractions, and coalescing adherences.

Subconscious Coordinate Functioning:
"By my calculations there is mathematical probability that progressive mastery by man of the physical coordinates of nature and their progressive sublimation by man as separate categories, and subordination to total abstract concepts, may indeed be trending historically to permit the integral being of the child to remain unfractonated throughout the total life span. For instance, we are unaware of our own tongues until we bite them. When in health and 'good form' the total myriad component functions of our physical organic being are entirely subordinated to subconscious coordinate functioning, commanded by the integrity of the individual life. When life has departed, the full physical inventory remains-- useless, reminiscent, but that is all. That is the way I see things. I am convinced that creativity is a priori to the integrity of universe and that life is regenerative and conformity meaningless."

The vector equilibrium is an interesting kind of geometry because, just looking at it as a model we see a square, a square, a triangle, etc., starting at a common center all the vertexes are equidistant from the same center in a one-frequency system. The word frequency would never relate to the word one, incidentally, because frequency involves some plurality of events. Therefore, frequency would begin at two, so sub-frequency and what I spoke about yesterday, a sub-size, we begin to have frequencies for size. Therefore, vector equilibrium is really subsize. It doesn't have size, if it looked like this and every edge were divided into two and interconnected, then it would be a two-frequency system and all the radii would have two increments. It is a single system and yet it has a tetrahedral volume of 20, whereas the cube, when the edge module is one, the volume is one. When the edge module of a cube is two, then the volume is eight. So looking at vector equilibrium as unity-- as all the domain of a point, and so forth, we find that it has a volume of 480. . . I developed an intuitive feeling long, long ago that the word unity was inherently plural. How could you have unity in the singular? That concept changed quantum in wave mechanics. . . I am giving you a way that you have to look at unity as being tetrahedra of 20; and if I am

"I appreciate that you do have understanding and commitment and true friendship in respect to the realization of the ideas and ideal which I too serve-- all of which could eventuate in some mutual work. I do not think that you can now (at this critical time in my highest priority work) bring yourself to spontaneous comprehension of what it is that I am in need. I need a less strategically (philosophically) distracted assistant to sublimate his or her comprehensive conceptioning and to learn, by some trial and error, to ascertain what will seem satisfactory to me."

"In the Babylonian, Egyptian, and Ionian eras of ways of looking at, thinking about, and formulating, there evolved a concept of a 'first family' of geometrical 'solids,' in which each member was characterized by all of its faces being identical and all of its edges being one length only. Humans were then unaware of what physics was only much later to discover experimentally: that nature discloses no evidence of a continuum. Experiment discloses only aggregates of separate, finitely closed events. Ergo, there are no solids."

With the world politicians whooping up the education-for-specialization system for all their people, world man was training swiftly for total suicide of humanity. He developed the means of self-destruction by many means-- the atomic bomb, gas and microbe warfare, pollution of his water and air, exhaustion of his energy wealth without having the comprehensive world will and means to stop himself. . . .

If the present needs of the Earth are something like 40 million tons of sulfur, by putting the proper pollution controls on the exhaust emissions, not only would you wind up with a healthier and cleaner atmosphere, but you'd be able to reduce sulfur extraction from the ground, and be able to get your sulfur right from that source.

Index Entry
In 1934 as noted in the 'New Yorker' profile of Bucky Fuller by Calvin Tomkins, BF offered a prize to anyone who could invent words equal poetically and euphonically to the misinforming words 'sunset' and 'sunrise,' which new words would also effectively describe the fact that the Earth's rotation from west toward east rotates the Spaceship Earth's passengers into the shadow and out of sight of the Sun.
Hundreds of name suggestions showed up in the mail but none seemed to satisfy the conditions until the poet of San Francisco, Gene Fowler, suggested the use of the motion picture production words 'out' and 'take' and put forth the words 'sunout' and 'suntake,' Stimulated by this William Wainwright of Cambridge, Massachusetts, suggested 'Sunclipse' and this in turn suggested its companion word 'Sunsight,' in which two words the Sun becomes subjective instead of objective. The first prize goes to Gene Fowler for describing the problem systematically and thereby swiftly inducing its logical solution. Second prize goes to William Wainwright of Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Super-Atomics Sequence:
"Those subsequently isolated chemical elements beyond the 92 prime self-regenerative chemical elements constitute super-atomics. They are the non-self-regenerative chemical elements of negative Universe.
"Negative Universe is the complementary but invisible Universe. To demonstrate negative Universe, we take one rubber glove with an external green surface and an internal red surface. On the green surface a series of 92 numbers are patterned; and on the red surface a continuance of 93, 94, through to 184, with number 184 at the inside end of the pinky-- each of the inner surface numbers being the inner pole of the outer pole point number positionings. The positions of the numbers on the inside correspond to positions of the numbers on the outside. The numbering starts with the position of the five fingernails, then their successive first joints, and then their successive second joints from the tips: 5, 10, 15, and 20 numbers accommodated by the digits. The other 62 members are arranged in four rows of 12 each around the back and front of the palm of the hand. There is a final row of 14 at the terminal edge of the glove opening: this makes a total of 92. Now we can see"

Super-Atomic Sequence:
"why the 92 numbers on the outside were discoverable in a random manner requiring very little physical effort. It was just a matter of which part of your gloved hand you happened to be looking. But if we become curious about what may be on the inside of the glove we discover that the glove is powerfully resilient. It takes a great deal of effort to roll back the open edge-- and it takes increasing amounts of power to cope with the increasing thickness of the rubber that rolls up as the glove opens. The elements from 93 on are revealed progressively by the numbers.
"The discovery of the first 92 self-regenerative chemical elements was not by the successive numbers starting with one, but in a completely random sequence. In the super-atomics, beyond uranium, number 92, the split-second-lived chemical elements have been discovered in a succession that corresponds to their atomic number; for example, the 94th discovery had the atomic weight of 94; the 100th was atomic weight 100, etc.

"naturally self-regeneratively occurring isotopes. The discovery of the post-Uranium elements has involved the employment of successively greater magnitudes of energy concentration and focusing. As each of the super-atomic trans-Uranium elements was isolatingly discovered, it disintegrated within split seconds. The orderliness of the succession of the discovery of super-atomics corresponds to the rate of increase of the magnitudes of energy necessary to bring them into split-second identifiability before they revert to their inside-- ergo, invisible to outside-- position.
"Every layer of a finite system has both an interior, concave, associability potential and an exterior, convex, associability potential. Hence the outer layer of a vector-equilibrium-patterned atom system always has an additional full number 'unemployed associability' count. In the example cited above (\hrefhttps://www.buckyverse.org/en/synergetics/content/chapters/400-system#section-418.30418.3), an additional 92 was added to the 146 as the sum of the number of spheres in the first three shells.

This structure... suggests analogies with the 92 unique regenerative
atomic systems which make up the total number of chemical
elements found in nature; and with the nuclear energy pattern of
Uranium, the 92nd element in the atomic table... if we add
together the 12, 42, and 92, the numbers of spheres in the
first three layers, we get the sum, 146, the number of neutrons
in Uranium.
"Since it is assumed that every layer of a finite system has
both an interior, concave associability and an exterior,
convex associability potential... the outer layer of an atom
system always has an additional, full number, unemployed
associability count.
"It follows that an additional 92 is to be added to the 146--"

the sum of numbers of the spheres in the first three shells. The total is 238, the number of nucleons [sic] in Uranium, whose atomic weight is 238.
"Four of the nucleons on one of the square faces of the vector equilibrium's closest-packed aggregation of nucleons, may be separated out, without impairing the structural stability integrity of the balance of the aggregate. This leaves a residue of 234 nucleoons, which is the fissionable state of Uranium-- which must go on chain-reacting due to its asymmetry."

Superstition is another important all-time force, but it was derisively dismissed by the technocrats as mystic pish posh, allowing man to fall into the pit-eous pathologic condition that they sneeringly considered engulfs so many men. Many world-wide superstitions, however, are scientifically rationalizable and sustainable as of high importance.
"The superstition that singing too early in the morning is a forerunner of tears in the evening is universally current in primitives and among supposedly highly developed, socially cultured people. The superstition is actually -- in view of the wave phenomenon and unit of energy output clearly measured and charted in emotional attitudes -- an indication of man's ultimate anticipation of the necessary balancing of lows and highs. In it, therefore, is a distinctly scientific proclivity. Yet emotion, so essential to selective growth and survival was denied by technocracy as a social factor."

Superstition of Social Superiority:
"Individuality goes far deeper than these surface manifestations with which people have sought to deceive one another as to the relative importance of their status and in the bitter struggle to validate one's right to live. Those who were powerful but ugly and lazy paid for fine clothes and fine surface architecture, and a superstition has persisted that people who could afford to pay must be superior individuals.
"The powerful have whipped the weak for centuries on end to instill that superstition. As long as might excelled over right that superstition had to continue. Now that we propose housing to be produced by an industry in which right makes might at less than a pound per horsepower the superstition is obsolete."

The highest capability in strength of structures exists in the triangulation of the system's enclosing structure, due to the greater action-reaction leverage distance that opposite sides of the system provide. This is what led men to hollow out their buildings.
The structural strength of the exterior triangles is not provided by the 'solid' quality of the exterior shell, but by triangularly interstabilized lines of force operating within that shell. They perforate the shell with force lines. The minimum holes are triangular.
The piercing of the shells with triangular holes reduces the solid or continuous surface of second-power increase of the shells. This brings the rate of growth of structures into something nearer an over-all first-power or linear rate of gain--for the force lines are only linear.

Surfing: Surfboarding:
"I am beginning to talk about wave in pure principle. . . beginning to discover it is a principle. Pure principles are useable. They are reducible from theory to practice. For instance, we have these waves on the water. You may do surfboarding yourself, but at any rate it is very interesting. It is like skiing except you have a very interesting condition where the mountain keeps moving along and so as fast as you go down the mountain, the mountain is going up as fast as you slide down it, and you never get down it. It keeps coming up for you very nicely so you are continually using gravity. If you are coming down it too fast you can start using that angular descent, and you can angle so you don't come down so fast and you can wait until the wave comes up to you again. You begin to discover you can stay up on that wave by angling yourself-- and keep going on and on and on. This is what the porpoises do. They go right around the world riding a wave without any effort at all. It is a very good way to go around the world on pure principle."

They even take credit for the special-case realizations, whose relevant generalized principles had first been subjectively discovered by scientists and then objectively employed by inventor-artists without help or recognition from the politicians and business leaders. However, when war or other vital emergencies arise the politicians and business leaders have no other survival recourse but to employ the theretofore disregarded special-case, relevant inventions manifesting also previously unheeded, eternally reliable principles. It is only after such last-chance adoption and successful public demonstration of the previously unheeded principles that politicians and business leaders claim exclusive credit."

"Mr. Fuller:-- I certainly would say in the first place that it is very complex. I feel that man aboard our planet is in a very critical condition, evolutionarily. As to whether he is really evolving into whatever his function may be in the total scheme of the Universe-- whether he is really making good-- he is very much on trial. I can, as a student and experimenter, and an actual doer, aware of the technical ways in which it is highly feasible for all of humanity to survive at a higher standard of living than anyone has ever known. .. But, I am also aware of the inertia and the conditioned reflexes which are permissible, and the small ways we seem to be preoccupied, and the shortsightedness of our preoccupation with today. So that the question whether man can make it or not: I would not presume to make any prognostication at all. All I can do is to try to find the factors which would tend to wave in one direction or the other, positive or negative."

Survival Sequence: Love:
"To me by far the most positive factor is all the children who used to die who no longer die; and that every child is born with faculties-- with ears, eyes, nose, and mouth and the child says that is what I smell, that is what I see. You don't have to teach a child to say what it is that he sees; he tells you spontaneously. In other words, truth is spontaneous, and the lying has been taught to the children by those who are afraid that the child's truthfulness will get them into trouble. So the fact that truth is spontaneous is equally mysterious as the fact of mass attraction and gravity cohering our Universe; as is the phenomenon love. We experience so much of it we tend to take it very much for granted.
"I am going to try to give you a little bit of a shock way of understanding how extraordinary is the love. That man would really understand, cohere, and want to understand. For instance, in order to have man regenerate himself on our planet-- assuming he has an important function to be performed in the Universe-- to be sure that he would live for many, many generations until he was able to develop enough knowledge, enough competence to be able to perform that function: having him regenerate himself."

If a salesman cam along and said 'I'd like to sell you one of those,' and stuck his own tongue out, I don't think you'd buy it. In order to be able to regenerate man has also to have a liver, and a kidney, and a stomach, and a heart. If you went to a supermarket and saw kidneys, and stomachs, and hearts hanging up, I don't think you'd buy yourself. It is an extraordinary matter-- in order to be able to bring about this complex technology of becoming reproductive and procreative. It would be very difficult to think of a liver hanging up there falling in love with another liver. So nature developed this fantastically beautiful packaging and put all these things out of sight.

"In the ecology of mammals male wolves sweep out about 50
miles. The male is the hunter. He deals with the unknown.
And the sweepout of the female is much less. She tends to
stay with the young and the old. She decides whether you
are going to skin it, milk it, or eat it... The consolidator
of the gains."

Tied to each of the planets
From the same star-Sun centers
Around which they traveled,
Each at vastly different distances
And at vastly different rates."

"Individual specialists tend to go off and get themselves into finer and finer focus, to a one degree focus and then a half-degree focus and then to minutes and seconds of fineness of focus. However, something happens in the area of specialization, as you get more and more men into microbiology, for instance, with each one of them taking a specialty there are enough of them so they began to make a sweepout sum totally and together they began to sweep out a fairly large sector. With one specialty, the total number crowding one another in order to be specialists, began to use a little larger angle. . . . Men didn't have very large microscopes or telescopes yesterday so when they were specialists they stayed within the area they could see; and this must have taken them into very different parts of the Universe and they were far apart."

Synchronization:
"There is an octave pattern in every system and every time we come to nine-- whether it be 3 + 6, 2 + 7, or 8 + 1-- it is zero. Waves are octave and one reason they do not interfere with one another is because of the zero. If we apply the phenomenon of radiowaves and other high frequencies-- waves passing through seeming solids-- or low frequency waves, we can imagine that the lack of interference could be explained through the crossing of the high frequency waves through the much lower frequency waves at the zero point.
"If we construct a model with balls we may be able to see this more clearly. If I make an X configuration with one ball in the center common to both triangles of the X, the ball at the intersection common to both represents the zero, or the place where the waves can pass through each other. The zero always accommodates when two waves come together. We know that atoms close pack in this manner and we know how wave phenomena such as radio waves behave. And now we have a model to explain why they do not interfere."

Such purposeful synchronization of a succession of alternate occupations at a point, first by a bullet and then by a discretely angled propeller blade, and repeat, is called angle and frequency modulation; together, they avoid interferences. All physical phenomena, from the largest to the smallest, are describable as frequencies of discrete angular reoccurrence of intimately contiguous but physically discontinuous events. All physical phenomena are subject to either use or nonuse of angular- and frequency-modulating interference capabilities."

"a half century ago to the physicists' hypotheses of the law of conservation of energy which held that energy had shown experimentally that it could be neither created nor destroyed. From this assumption, which threw all scientific and nonscientific considerations, other than the energetically physical, into the then seemingly indeterminate realm of metaphysical, came the successive wave-quanta accounting theory and subsequent fission and successful nuclear components discovery and inventorying.
"Fifthly, Willard Gibbs' phase rule in a formula similar to Euler's in which the degrees of freedom are in effect the vectorial edges, brought synergetic advantages to chemical strategy.
"Sixthly, the same synergetic accounting advantage is now extended by our law of nonsimultaneous finite Universe pattern conservation /See Corollary of Synergy: Principle of the Whole System/ to embrace definitive consideration of any and all experiences, physical or metaphysical.

"The illusion that starting with unity as one (e.g. Darwin's single cell) will provide simple and reliable arithmetic compounding (e.g., Darwin's theory of evolution going from simple to complex: amoeba ➝ monkey ➝ man) pervades the elementary educational concept. Synergy discloses the statistical probability of the information to be derived from macro ➝ macro educational strategy fails completely to predict the experimentally demonstrable gravitational or mass attraction integrities of entropically irreversible universal scenario reality."

The self-discovery process goes on to identify all the hierarchy of geometrical intertransformings which are the subject of this book, and proceeds inherently, by synergetic strategy of commencing with totality of Universe self-realization to differentiate itself out into its progressive omnirational differentiation of its ever symmetrically equated potentials. And all other geometrical proofs of all the Greeks and their academic successors aboard our self-realizing planet are herewith usably embraced; and all the rules of geometrical self-development proofs, are discovered to be germane but always holistically embraced in omnirational identity.

Synergetics: Synergetics "is based on the discovery of the relative energy investment values of nature's geometrical hierarchy of cosmically primitive structurings and intertransformings. It is the geometry of general systems. All of its lines are vectors, that is, they exist only as energetic phenomena. A vector always represents the product of mass and the velocity of a given energy entity operating in a given angular direction in respect to a given axis of observational reference. Synergetics discloses by physical models the orderly ways in which nature intertransforms, propagates, and pulsates, sometimes visibly and sometimes invisibly, yet is always demonstrably operative by 'tuning in' and 'tuning out.'"

"The increasingly vast, comprehensive, and rational order of arithmetical, geometrical, and vectorial coordination that we recognize as synergetics can reduce the dichotomy, the chasm between the sciences and the humanities, which occurred in the mid-nineteenth century when science gave up models because the generalized case of exclusively three-dimensional models did not seem to accommodate the scientists' energy-experiment discoveries. Now we suddenly find elegant field modelability and conceptuality returning. We have learned that all local systems are conceptual. Because science had a fixation on the 'square,' the 'cube,' and the 90-degree angle as the exclusive forms of 'unity,' most of its constants are irrational. This is only because they entered nature's structural system by the wrong portal. If we use the cube as volumetric unity, the tetrahedron and octahedron have irrational number volumes." - Cite SYNERGETICS text at Sec. \hrefhttps://www.buckyverse.org/en/synergetics/content/chapters/900-modelability#section-990.05990.05; RBF rewrite of 30 Dec'73

It does not contradict the calculus or any other mathematical tool for special case applications, although it often find them inadequate or irrelevant. Experientially founded synergetics clearly identifies the conceptual limitations and coordinate functionings of all the classical tools of mathematics and it shows how their partial functioning often frustrates comprehension of experience."

EJA Query: "Do you mean in the case of models which represent just parts, i.e. quantitative models? Isn't the vector equilibrium okay as a model because it is a qualitative model?"
RBF Reply: "Instead of quantitative say 'size'. And I don't like the word 'qualitative' because it seems to express limitations. My geometry is conceptual independent of size. Instead of qualitative, say 'subsize', or you can say 'conceptual'; it's a schematic for the principles."

Q. "The only other word I am interested in right now is holism. I think J.C. Sm?ts may have coined it. I know he wrote the book 'Holism and Evolution.' How does the concept of holism compare with your concept of synergy?"
RBF: "My word synergy has really a very specific meaning. Synergy means behaviors of wholes, whole systems unpredicted by behaviors of any of the system's components considered separately--which is the same as the mind; the mind is always synergetic. There are relationships existing between but not of any of the special cases considered by themselves; so there is always a relationship. The word holistic is not necessarily that: it can mean all the parts without any of the behavior between them. Say you have a holistic human body and there it is--but life is not there. So I try to avoid that word."

The angular accelerations plane becomes a very important device of comprehension. In our generalization of generalizations we find that synergy, as 'the behavior of whole systems unpredicted by any of the systems' parts taken separately,' embraces both the generalized mass attraction and the precessional laws. Apparently synergy embraces our definition of Universe and is therefore probably the most generalized definition of Universe.

Our two triangles now add up as one plus one equals four. The two events make the tetrahedron the four-triangular-sided polyhedron. This is not a trick; this is the way atoms themselves behave. Just as the chemists found when they separated atoms out, or molecules out, of compounds, that the separate parts never explained the associated behaviors; there seemed to be 'lost' energies. The lost energies were the lost synergetic interstabilizations.

There is a phenomenon recognized by chemistry called synergy. The word syn-ergy and the word energy, en-ergy, are companions. Energy studies are familiar. Energy relates to differentiating-out the separate functions of nature--studying objects, isolated out of the whole complex of universe; for instance, studying gravity, without consideration of hydraulics or of plant genetics. But synergy represents the integrated behaviors instead of the differentiated behaviors of nature. The word 'synergy' means 'behaviors of whole systems unpredicted by the behavior of any of their parts, or sub-assemblies of their parts.' Cite MEXICO, p. 21, 10 Oct'63

Elephants are successful designs. We have no evidence of biological species which are inherently uncompleted designs. In the hierarchy of hierarchies of synergies, Universe is the unpredicted behavior of any of its sublevel synergetics. We must start our synergetic analysis at the level of Universe and thereafter with the known behavior of the greatest whole and the known behavior of some of its parts, proceed as permitted mathematically to discover its unknown parts. We have the Greek triangle with its known 180 degrees of angle which it compounded with the knowledge of the magnitude of any two sides and their included angle, or of any two angles and their included side, etc., will permit discovery of the magnitude of the balance of the triangle's six parts. Or, using trigonometry, if we know the magnitude of any two parts, we can ferret out the others."

Then discovery of a plurality of generalized principles permits the discovery of the synergetic effects of their complex interactions. The synergetic effect produced by the interaction of the known family of generalized principles is probably what is spoken of as Wisdom."

We know scientifically that all physical systems are continually giving off energies. We call this entropy.
Due to each of the local Universe system's unique periodicities the given-off energies are randomly released in respect to other systems. Thus various localities of the physical Universe are expanding and expending energies in an increasingly disorderly manner. But fundamental complementarity requires that there must be other localities and phases of Universe wherein the Universe is reconvening, collecting, and condensively contracting in an increasingly orderly manner as a complementary regenerative conservation phase of Universe thus manifesting a turn-around from disorder to order, from entropy to syntropy.
Entropy is increasing local disorder; syntropy is locally increasing order. Order is obviously the complementary, but non-mirror image, of disorder.
Local environments are forever altering themselves due to the myriad associative and disassociative interpatterning options of syntropy and entropy. Universe is a vast variety of

Twoness constitutes a wavilinear relatedness. Threeness constitutes planar relatedness, which is inherently triangular. Three triangular planes alone cannot differentiate, distinguish, or constitute a system. At minimum, it takes four triangular planes having inherent fourness of vertexes to constitute a differential withinness and withoutness. Fourness of geometrically contiguous and synchronous event foci and their coincidentally defined four triangular planes, along with their six common edges provided by the six wavilinear vectors connecting the four event foci, altogether inherently differentiate, distinguish, initially institute, and constitute prime or minimum withinness and withoutness."

A system is the first subdivision of Universe. It divides all the Universe into three parts; -- firstly-- all of the Universe outside the system; secondly-- all of the Universe within the system; and thirdly-- the small remainder of Universe components which constitute the system considered.
A system is an enclosure consisting of a conceptual aggregate of recalled experience items, or events, having inherent insideness and outsideness. A system is the antithesis of nonsystem, which latter lacks omnidirectional definition. Nonsystems, such as theoretical planes or straight lines cannot be found experimentally. We are scientifically bound to experimentally demonstrable systems thinking. All systems are subject to comprehension and can be coped with systematically.
General systems theory treats with phenomena which are holistically comprehensible. The objects of our experience are finite systems. Their superficial outline closes back on itself multidirectionally as a systematic continuity of relevantly contiguous events. They are thus separable from other systems. There are systems comprised of systems.

System
Index Entry
The first subdivision of universe into a conceivable entity which separates all the universe into two main parts, i.e., all of the universe which is non-simultaneously outside of the system and all of the universe which is non-simultaneously inside the system; and all of the remaining universe which is conceptually in the system's set of component events of conceptually tunable inter-relatability-- conceptual tuning being physically within the "rainbow" range of the electromagnetic spectrum, and imaginatively conceivable within the size-independent, angular configurations and topological characteristics of polyhedra or polyhedral complexes. Systems having insideness and outsideness must return upon themselves in a plurality of directions and are therefore interiorally concave and exteriorally convex. Because concaveness reflectively concentrates radiation impinging upon it and convexity diffuses radiation impinging upon it, they are fundamentally different, and therefore every system has an always and only coexisting complementarity. System unity is inherently plural. Unity is plural.

Index Entry
In order for systems to have an insideness and an outsideness the systems must have a geometrical form which returns upon itself in a plurality of directions.
"Flat planes or straight lines cannot return upon themselves. They reach away toward infinity.
"A polygon's perimeter does return upon itself as viewed from either pole of the axis of the perimeter. Systems require return upon themselves as polyhedra whose polygons peregrinate around three or more non-congruent axes. Systems are finite polyhedra. Systems are locally conceptual components of universe. Systems, as viewed from inside are inherently concave and as viewed from outside are inherently convex."

"I found it quite possible to subdivide the universe instantly by developing the concept of a 'system.' A system is a local phenomenon in universe that is geometrically definable because it returns or closes upon itself in all directions. Systems may be symmetrical or assymetrical. I found that systems are the first subdivisions of universe for they subdivide the universe into all the universe that is inside and all the universe that is outside the system."

"A system is a patterning of force that returns upon itself in all directions-- that is, a closed configuration of vectors.
"Insofar as a system loops back on itself, its dimensions are limited; hence the system is finite. It has an inside and an outside: 'withinness' and 'withoutness.' Every system consequently divides the universe into two parts; that which is within the system, and that which is external. A plane (as defined by Euclid) can not constitute a system, because a plane is conceived to be a surface without limit. It extends on an on, to infinity, never returning on itself, never developing inwardness or outwardness.
"It is characteristic of a system that the angles around its vertexes must be concave or convex with respect to the position from which they are viewed-- concave if looked at from the interior space, convex when viewed from outside.
System
Index Entry
It is significant, however, that the angles surrounding a vertex cannot add up to 360⁰, for it is a condition of a system that it be finite; which is to say that it should curve back on itself from all directions. If the angles around any vertex add up to 360⁰, they would initiate an infinite plane. And since a plane has infinite extension and does not close back on itself, this condition violates the requirement of finiteness-- the essential property of a system.

A system is a man-thinkable, tune-in-able constellation of generalized experience event cluster foci. Energy cluster foci are starts, or topological ver-texes, which are only the as-yet-nonanalyzed group phenomenon whose energetic point centers of event clustering locals are as yet too remote for the present observer's position. . . Systems are star inter-relationship considerations which logically continue to return upon themselves due to the related preoccupying importance of locally dominant event frequency proximities which altogether function as a fundamental, i.e., simplest or most unique. geometrical set which inherently subdivides the total Universe. The cell-time-man-experienced events fall into two main and clearly distinguishable classes:
(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.

"A system is a min-max tunable, ergo, a primary definable subdivision of Universe. As such a definable set, it separates and dismisses, inwardly and outwardly of its tuned finite pattern all that is microcosmically and macrocosmically irrelevant and untimely. Systems have, therefore, time, and direction inwardness and outwardness, and polarity, thus identifying the hitherto seemingly abstract two-ness of Euler's topological formula: 'Faces plus vertexes equal edges plus twoness.'"

Index Entry
System Awareness:
"System awareness begins when we find the otherness surrounding us, when we are omnidirectionally enclosed. The volume sense is only from inside. From outside four points can look like one point or they can look flat. Not until we turn a tetrahedron inside-out do we have microcosmic awareness. Not until we swallow the otherness do we have microcosmic volumetric awareness. We become the outside. At first, we were just the inside. In the womb. In the womb we had tactile sensorial awareness of volumetric surroundment by the otherness, but no visual, aural, or olfactual awareness of the otherness-surroundment. The child develops otherness awareness only as outside volumetric surroundment within which he finally discovers Me the Observer."

System Enclosure:
"If we get rid of the word 'polyhedra', then what word do we have in its place? A high-frequency, omnidirectional spheric event. Polyhedra are finite system enclosures. They are topologically describably finite system enclosures. They are Universe dividers. They are not linear dividers but omnidirectional Universe dividers. A mosquito has macro-micro cosmos system perceptivity at a different level from that of the whale's. Probably each observer organism's stature constitutes its spontaneous observational level of macro-micro subdividing: Bigger than Me; Littler than Me; Within Me; Without Me."
"We relinquish the word 'polyhedra' to re-employ our new term systematic enclosure which can be generalized to serve creatures of any size; i.e., a tetrahedron big enough for a mosquito or big enough for a whale. Faces are spaces, openings. The four vertexes plus for faces plus six lines of the tetrahedron has to become four somethings plus four nothings plus six relations. We add convergence to something and divergence to nothing-- completely independent of size."

Systematic Realization:
"The mathematician's 'purely imaginative,' no-thickness, no-breadth, ergo, no insideness or outsideness points, lines, and planes are nonexperienceable. All image-ing derives from experience. Conceptually imaginable point, line, and plane experiences are systemic; that is, they have insideness, outsideness, and angular constancy independent of size.
"Size is always special case realizability. The mathematician's undemonstrable assumption that three points define a plane of no thickness-- no radial depth-- is therefore subsystemic; ergo, unthinkable, nonoperationally evidencible, and unimaginable, ergo unemployable as constituents of proofs."
"Contrary to conventional mathematical dogma three points do not define a nonexistent, ergo nondemonstrable, no-thickness plane; nor do they define an altitudeless triangle because there can be naught to systematically do the defining. No-thickness is neither experimentally evidencible nor conceptually feasible. System is conceptual independent of size."

"The reverse magnitudes of the surface vs. volume hierarchy is completely logical in the case of the total surface subdivision starting with system totality. On the other hand we begin the volumetric quantation hierarchy with the tetrahedron as the volumetric quantum (unit) and in so doing we build from the most common to the least common omnisymmetrical systems of Universe. In this system of biggest systems built of smaller systems the tetrahedron is the smallest, ergo most universal. Speaking holistically, the tetrahedron is predominant; all of which is analogous to the smallest chemical element, Hydrogen, being the most universally present and plentiful, constituting 90 percent of the relative abundance of chemical elements in Universe.
"The tetrahedron can be considered as a whole system or as a constituent of systems in particular. It is the particulate."
