"The only reality is the abstraction of the principles, the
eternal generalized principles. Most people talk of
reality as just the after-image effects--the realization
lags, which register superficially and are asymmetric and
off center. (The principles themselves have different lag
rates and different interferences.) When we get to reality
it's absolutely eternal."

two ways of classifying the movements of the Universe, what they
call acceleration.
"They have angular and linear acceleration. The angular
accelerations go around like this while they are restrained
from a common center; and the linear, when you let go of it,
let go just like that. When we let go of a rocket we just see
a point for a very few minutes. The it is outside and we put
radar on it and we can tell where it is. We can only really
do it in terms of the angular direction-- where it is going--
and watching the clock say 'I know what it's velocity is; I know
how far it is.'
"What we are doing is using a clock, which is an angular
acceleration; and we say it went one minute, and two minutes,
and so forth-- these are linear increments. What we call size
are some kind of linear increments which you could treat in"

increment until the cycle was complete. We use some kind of
cycle. It may be a cycle of atomic oscillation. Or it could

cycle is complete you don't have an increment.
"Therefore we discover that in angular acceleration-- I started
at six o'clock to play the game and I have only gone this far
and I haven't made a cycle, and yet this is measurable.
"We find that an angle is subcyclic. We said there was no
size until the cycle had been completed. We find an angle is
a priori of no size: it has nothing to do with the phenomena
size. The length of the edges are the linears and have nothing
to do with what this angle is. Angle has nothing to do with
size.

"become both physically and economically successful in the
foreseeable future. I identified this progression of doing
more with less as ephemeralization. Fortune magazine pub-
lished my 1922 concept of ephemeralization in 1940 in a
prominent manner. Despite ephemeralization having subsequently
wrought epochal advancements in the standard of living for
two billion previously deprived humans, ephemeralization is
a fact that, in 1966, is largely unknown to or overlooked by
the world's professional economists. Nonetheless the concept
of accelerating acceleration and ephemeralization have now brought
40 percent of humanity into the paradoxical state of world
success, ergo apprehensive physical and economic success.
"I decided in 1917 to contribute to the scientific documentation
of the emergent realization of the era of accelerating accelera-
tion of progressive ephemeralization. I determined to do so
by methodical and chronological inventorying of all the human
communications in which I was personally involved, all mention
concerning me transacted by others. I have kept this lifelong
file, which I call the dymaxion chronofile... which consists
of 250 volumes containing 80,000 letters, 300-400 pages per
volume. The first important regenerative effect upon me of
keeping this active chronological record was, I learned, to see
myself as other see me."

His DEFINITIONS
Accommodation:
"Action and interaction of events are accompanied by relative
displacements and accommodations of other events. For example,
when a stone is dropped into a tank of water, the stone does
not penetrate the water molecules. The molecules are jostled;
they accommodate' the stone, and in the process jostle their
neighboring molecules, which, in turn, jostle their own border
companions. Thus waves of relayed jostling are propagated.
Euch relayed wave, although a composite of local actions,
provides a synergetic continuity of those actions. The con-
sequence is a pattern of events which has an integrity of its
own, independent of the local accommodations (which are inno-
cent with respect to the overall synergetic pattern). . . .
"The stone thrown into the tank inaugurates a complex of
accommodative events operative in pure principle. . . .
"When radio or television waves pass through the walls
of a house, when light waves pass through a window or a lens,
there are always some comprehensively relayed local jostlings,
some sets of submicroscopic eddies of force, that accommodate
the push through . . . "

RBF DEFINITIONS
Action-reaction-resultant:
"Engineers have been proud of pointing out that the difference
between engineers and lay society is that engineers know that
every action has its reaction and that lay society thinks only
of the actions. Before the speed of light was measured, light
seemed, to all humanity, to be instantaneous. Since we now
know experientially that neither light nor any other phenomenon
is instantaneous, we may conclude that an action and the
vectors it creates are neither simultaneously occurring nor
instantaneous. Because vectors have discrete length, whose
dimension represents the energy mass multiplied by its
velocity, every action vector has two terminals-- a "begin-
ning' and an 'ending at the end of its noninstantaneous
action. The beginnings and the endings are nonsimultaneous-
ly occurrent. Therefore the 'ending' terminal of an action's
vector occurs later than its beginning.' Therefore, every
action must have a reaction vector at its 'beginning' terminal
and a resultant vector at its 'ending' terminal. The reaction
vectors and the resultant vectors are never angled at 180
degrees to the action vectors. They are always angled precess-
ionally at angles other than 180 degrees."

"This number plus two is a very interesting kind of a number.
The fact that it is second power and it is times ten: Does this
fact bother you? Not particularly, because we will find out
later what the times ten is. Ten is a number made up of two
primes, the prime numbers five and two. We will discover what
its significance is. It has something to do with the fact that
the vector equilibrium has twelve degrees of freedom, and we
find that two of those degrees of freedom are always subject to
being polarized... If you remember looking at the center core
of the vector equilibrium system, you found six sets of lines
leading in, making 12 radii going through the center. We
found twelve fundamental degrees of freedom, so one of the
degrees of freedom could be used for spin, and if you do, then
you automatically have to assign two of the balls out of the 12
for the problem of spin. We find that there are always in any
layer two left over in that layer to act as bearings for the
spin. They could be isolated from anything else this does
energetically. You have to have something that takes care of
the axis; and they take care of the neutral axis."

"Individuality goes far deeper than these surface manifestations
with which people have sought to decieve 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 lasy paid for fine clothes and fine surface architec-
ture, 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 superstit-
ion. 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.

engineers and research men I found that the equipment exists

it would add to the production of electricity would be only
thirty percent and you'd have no fumes in the sky.

submarines going 70
knots, three times the speed of any surface
freighters. They are very fast as they are down below the

cargo below the turbulence. This brought me into the development
of submarine cities where you can have an enormous caisson going
down through the turbulence. You can make helicopter landings
on it from above and the submarines are going to just nestle
right up to it from below and that's where we'll have the cargo
transferring. The sea surface phase will go with the interface
between water and air and man fighting all that turbulence:
nothing could be more illogical. I hope I've given you a clean
simple insight to the questions you asked. And as for how this

Airplane Flight as Lift
"It appeared and as yet appears to follow, in conventional, state-
licensed structural engineering, that if tension is secondary and
local in all men's structural projections, that tension must also
be secondary in man's philosophic reasoning. As a consequence,
the popular conception of airplane flight was, at first and for
a long time, erroneously explained as a compressional push-up
force operating under the plane's wing. It apparently' progress-
ively compressed the air below it, as a ski compresses the snow
into a grooved track of icy slidability. The scientific fact
remains, as wind-tunnel experiments proved, that three-quarters
of the airplane's weight support is furnished by the negative lift
of the partial vacuum created atop the airfoil. This is simply
because, as Bernouilli showed, it is longer for the air to go
around the top of the foil than under the foil, and so the same
amount of air in the same amount of time had to be stretched
thinner, ergo vacuously, over the top. This stretching thinner
of the air and its concomitant greater effectiveness of inter-
positioning of bodies (that is, the airplane in respect to Earth),
is our same friend, the astro- and nucleic-tensional integrity of
dynamic interpatterning causality."

"If I put a little one-eighth octahedron on the corner of

equilibrium it becomes a cube. Therefore, when I bring
vector equilibria together in masses, it leaves a little
space on each of these corners, but you remember that eight
cubes always come together around one point. Therefore,
there will be eight of these one-eighth octahedra on each
of the corners which come together at this point. Therefore
the eight of them together would make one octahedron. We find
then that the vector equilibrium plus the octahedron on the
outside of each of the triangular faces would fill all space.
When we bring the vector equilibria up to each other we find
that two of their square faces match together. Within a
square face we had a half octahedron, so that brings two of
the square faces together and I get an internal octahedron
butween the two of them. The external octahedra are
intervened between the vector equilibria on their triangular
faces and there is an internal set of octahedra between the

One is an open

contracted one of the octahedron. So we begin to discover
something fascinating, which is, if I take vector equlibria
and contract them, as I showed you with internal-external
octahedra, each one of those vector equilibrium packages,
we find that the triangular faces are occupying a
posoition in closest packing of a space and the square
faces are occupying the position of a sphere. Between them
we had the internal and external octahedra; that is, the
spaces between are either concave vector equilibria or
concave octahedra. We could take the original vextor
equilibrium and bend the edges inwardly to make it concave
or we could bend them outwardly and make spheres. In the
first degree of contraction from vector equilibrium, it
becomes a sphere or a space. If it bends inwardly it
becomes spaces and if it bends outwardly they become spheres.
We can then begin to call a space a concave vector equilibrium
and we call a sphere a convex vector equilibrium or we can

"Today's hyperspecialization in socio-economic functioning
has come to preclude important popular philosophic constiera-
tions of the synergetic significance of, for instance, such
historically important events as the discovery within the
general region of experimental inquiry known as virology, that
the as-yet popularly assumed validity of the concept animate
and inanimate phenomena have-been experimentally invalidated.
"Atoms and crystal complexes of atoms were held to be obviously
inanimate. The protoplasmic cells of biological phenomena
were held to be obviously animate. It was deemed to be common
sense that warm-blooded, moist, and soft-skinned humans were
clearly not to be confuded with cold hard granite or steel
objects. A claercut threshold between animate and inanimate
was therefore assumed to exist as a fundamental dichotomy of
all physical phenomena. This seemingly placed life exclusively
within the bounds of the physical.
"The supposed location of the threshold between the animate and
inanimate was methodically narrowed down by experimental science
until it was confined specifically within the domain of virology."

"The possibility of its existence vanished because the suppo-

have persisted right across yesterday's supposed threshold in
both directions to permeate one another's, previously-con-

animate has become forgier and foggier, and what is inanimate
clearer and clearer. The inanimate alone is not only omni-
present, but is alone experimentally demonstrable. Belated
news of this threshold elimination must be interpreted to
mean that whatever life may be, it has not been isolated and
thereby identified as residual in the biological cell, as had
been supposed by the false assumption that there was a separate
physical phenomenon called animate within which life existed."

we got into virology the distinction was no longer there.
We found that all the descriptive attributes of the

have to call everything that is physical, just physical.
Man used to think that he could identify life all within
the physical. At one end of the physical was the thing
we'll call animate organisms; at the other end of the
physical was something called inanimate. So, he called it
that, and was kind of satsfied that these two qualities

Architecture:
"The profession of architecture as practiced today, is a
slave function, exercising good taste in purchasing and
assembling industrially available components, a superfical
veil to cover the steel or concrete frames which are completely
conventionalised and organized by the engineers.
"This slave profession only goes to work when it is hired
and told what to do. The client says, 'I am going to build
a building on such a corner; this is its purpose; this is
what it is to cost; this is what it should look like; this is
what the building codes and labor unions tell you you are
going to do; I want my relative's equipment used.' The
architect plays his game with those dominoes. Under such
conditions all you can do is arrange a few beautifully laid
brick panels between the columns. That
world of archi-
tecture is completely superficial and is going out. There
are going to be individuals who do not assume a client knows
what he wants or a society knows what it wants to do, but
examine potential environmental controls, human needs, world
resources, and industry's capabilities."

students that what they do is to organize the assemblage of
visible modular structures out of subvisible modular
structures. Nature itself, at the chemical level does the
prime structuring. If the patterning attempted by the
architect is not inherently associative within the local
regenerative dynamics of chemical structure, his buildings
will collapse. The kinds of spans man builds, the sizes of
his columns, and the ways in which, in the end, man must
enclose space, are governed by the fundamental principles of
structuring preconceived in a priori structuring laws of
nature. The principles governing structure not only prescribe
what man can put together, but they are operative at the
molecular level, at the atomic level and at the nuclear level.
They are also operative in each of man's life cells and
throughout principles of structure in the starry heavend."

Han has ignorantly classified the whole gamut of non-
sensorial module structuring by nature under the illusion
evoked designation of 'solid' matter. Consistent with this
illusion man traffics in various solid substances known as
materials.' Ken do not, however, in reality build
structures out of materials. Men build visible module
structures out of subvisible module structures. There are
generalized laws governing structure. The generalized laws
of structure are oblivious to the special threshold existing
between the man-tuned sensorial spectrum and the vast ranges
of Universe structuring infra- and ultra-sensorial to man's

"In 1927 it was very clear to me that the building
world was the antipriority world and that it was run by
ignorance. This was in contrast to the extraordinary new
ability that was going into the building of navies
and into airplanes, into a new kind of navy of the air.
The very highest capabilities of man were being invested
in these and nothing was being invested in the direction
of the house. I didn't find any scientist working on the
plumbing. The architects were getting some purple tile or
some pink tile, and so forth, but no one was concerned with
what goes on behind the wall. There have been no changes
back of the wall for at least 3,000 years! Our homes are
serviced today by the same sewerage system invented before
the time of Christ. I felt that this kind of inattention
to our home was responsible for the fact that our first
child died.
and I felt the conditions could have been
controlled if the same kind of capability had been going
in the direction of our life to make life a success, it

Artifacts:
*Design science undertakes a functional solution of problema.
The methodology is First; What is the problem to be solved?
and Second: How can that be solved by artifacts rather than by
political contriving, or persuasion, or reorganization of the
present situation. So I always go to the artifact. And I've
never had trouble demonstrating that, the simplest one being
that there's a roaring gorge and you put a bridge across it.
People are going to try to use the bridge and not swim across.
Artifacts induce their spontaneous use. By virtue of their
spontaneous use the pattern of society changes, the problem is
solved, and the previous situation becomes obsolete.
"Now that's grand strategy. Therefore, if I'm going to get
artifacts I'm going to see what are the structural things that
I can solve structurally or mechanically: is it a machine, is it
a structure, or an engine? What are the various inputs of all
the chemical elements involved? What is their inventory? I
think the methodology is quite clear. You first go to the
artifacts and in doing so you are going to unquestionably cut
out a lot of the wasteful uses of materials. We are going to
release materials that are doing the job in an obsolete way."

and you will find the average of Early American and Colonial
families are between 10 and 13 children per family with many
of them dying at the time of childbirth. It was very sad.
But as in came waterworks, or any kind of an artifact, that
changed the probabilities and down went the number of babies
per family and up went the life expectancy." These two are in
absolute balance. In country after country, as the kilowatts-

a world in which humanity spoke about the tools it used

artificial, these artefacts and tools, if seen from far
enough away in time, might be realised to be an actual an

the word 'artificial, which I had heard so much of, was a

"As soon as I began to look at man in that way, I began to
realize that men were really very large and I made some
research as to how much our various tools were being employed
relative to the total population. In America in 1936 I
found that every American weighed nine tons of steel and
22 tons of concrete and 140 pounds of copper and so forth.
This is the relative amount of externalized tooling per capita.
Man is really larger than the dinosaur, larger than the
mammoth, but the dinosaur and the mammoth became obsolete
simply because they tried to run all their tools around
integrally: the dinosaur was pulling a great big one-ton tail
along, with the idea that it could knock down a banana with
it. So that man was uniquely successful by virtue of this
grand strategy of differentiating out his functions, and
developing interchangeable functions."

Assumptions:
The progress we have made is not the result of blindly
proceeding from one precedent to another. Only by escaping from
the popular frames of reference and critically examining the
conventional methods and techniques have we set up
a new hypothesis and arrived at our present solution with its
prospect of a new and transcendental industry. To do this it
was necessary to make broad and daring assumptions. This talk
is full of them, and I have not taken time to substantiate
or develop them in detail. Assumptions grow out of experience and
new postulates stem from observation which reveals the
inadequacies of our previous concepts. However short of the mark
our answers may be, I know that our method is right, for all the
great scientific advances in history have been made by the
Newtons and Galileos who were not afraid to form their own
hypothesis. I am saying this to you because engineers have too
often let others make their assumptions for them. In the months
ahead the engineering staff has a great responsibility in
getting our house into production. By attempting merely to
improve and modify the familiar ways of designing and building
you will succeeed only in perpetuating original errors and
limitations. So do not be afraid of radical methods or of
setting up your own hypotheses."

taking energy-as-heat out of the insulatingly isolated liquefied

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.

Atom As Solar System:
"The smallest known orderly phenomenon in the Universe is
the atom. The diameter of the atom's nucleus is the smallest
known distance measurement in the Universe. The diameter of
the outer shell of the atom is approximately 10,000 times that
of its nuclear diameter. The ratio of diameter sizes of the
atomic nucleus and the diameter of its outer electron orbit
(shell) is 1 to 10,000. This also is somewhat the same order
of magnitude as the 8000-mile diameter of the Earth in
relation to its own Sun-orbiting diameter of 184 million
mile, i.e., 1 to 23,000. But the Earth is not the solar
system's nucleus. The Sun is the planetary nucleus. The
carth orbits the Sun at a diameter that is only 230 times
the diameter of the Sun. Pluto, however, is the outermost
known planet, ergo, it is the Sun-nucleated system's outer-
shell-describing planet, and Pluto's orbital diameter is
9000 times the diameter of the Sun. Thus, the solar system
discloses approximately the same nucleus-to-shell diameters
ratio as that of the atoms, and may indeed do so exactly, for
there are new calculations suggesting a tenth planet at
possibly the exact 10,000-Sun diameter's distance."

Autonomous Living Technology Packet:
"I look forward to the time when humanity is advantaged by
the $200, knapsack-size, 72-pound, autonomous living technology
packet, which is a natural by-product from the six-man, suitcase-
size, 450-pound unit now being potentially developed both by
the Russians and the USA's NASA to keep humans alive in space
outside the Earth's biosphere for protracted periods of time
(months and years-- in contrast to short Moon trips which can be
coped with as 'sandwich and thermos bottle' type ventures).
With such new economic capability, society may converge at will
at special town and city locations and then deploy at will to
dwell in beautiful remote wilderness locations, on sea or land,
being able to do so at a moment's notice and free and unencumbered
as the birds to do 80."

Avogadro:
"Reviewing chemical science history I became intuitively aware
that the clue to vectorial, volumetric, geometrical coordina-
tion might be found in Avogadro's experimental proof of his
earlier hypothesis which stated that all gases under identical
conditions of heat and pressure will always disclose the same
number of molecules per given volume. I felt intuitivelt that
inasmuch as these gases often consist of one unique chemical
element, such as hydrogen or helium, and that inasmuch as
these gases could be liquefied, and inasmuch as most of the
elements are susceptible to some het- or pressure-produced
transformation between their liquid, crystalline, and vapor,
or incandescent states, it might also be reasonable to hypo-
thetically generalize Avogadro's hypothesis by assuming that
'under identical
energy conditions all elements may
disclose the same number of "somethings" per given volume.*"

"Euler said that every pattern in the Universe is characterized
where the lines cross (the vertexes) and areas (where three
lines cross giving any closed set.) And we found that for
all polyhedron the number of vertexes plus the number of
faces equals the number of edges plus two.
"I thought this plus twoness over and the fact that I found
two extra spheres in every layer of closest packing had
probably some significance. So I said, one thing we have
learned about all systems when isolated from other systems,
is that they have the ability to be rotated or for things to
rotate around them. Therfore there are axes of spin. Every
system has to have some kind of axis.
"We look at the reel of your tape recorder here and we look
at the top of that reel which is going eastward and the
bottom is going westward. And the top is going quite fast
to the eastward. If I go in from the center, the speed
from the top is going slower as it goes close to center,
and the bottom is going slower and slower eastward as you go
close to the center. Finally at some point in the center"

Axis of Spin:
"they can't be going the other way. There must be a neutral
axis but you can't see it. This shows up time and time
again in mathematics. Brouwer's mathematical theorem really
shows this... you have a large number aggregate of points
very randomly disposed and you stir all those points. It's
easy to prove mathematically that one of the points never
moves in respect to the total mass.
"There is always a neutral axis because every sytem must have
the two faces, obverse and reverse. So there must be another
point in the southern hemisphere that also didn't move. So
those two points are always in any matrix of seeming total
disorder: two will not have moved.

"So these are the axes of spin of systems. If I need an axis
of spin, therefore, I find it very interesting that in agglom-
erating these layers and allowing for the really very large-
size numbers that would be accounted for in the masses of
Earth. And Newton working in the gravitation of mass defines
it in terms of the second power of the relative proximity of
the masses.

And that second power is in terms of the diameters"

"of the respective masses, using one or the other as a
criterion. which means that if I have two balls the same
size and I halve the distance between them, that wil fourfold
the attraction of one for the other. And then I gave you
the converse of that, the radiation one of Einstein, which
is also second powering. Both of these deal in energies
which are so large that the the discrete two for any layer
in terms of atoms would be lost. But when we come to make the
true model, I found out that in the closest packing of spheres
there were the two always there. So we could describe it,
but you really couldn't discover it experimentally because
it's too negligible a figure. But there it is and it allows
for the axis of spin.
"So I said, all right, so I'm going to redo all those formulas.
For every vertex in any polyhedron I am going to take two out
of that polyhedron and assign them the function of the axis
of spin. Two vertexes always are poles. This means that I will
subtract from the left-hand side Euler's formula. For
instance the tetrahedron is four vertexes plus four faces =
six edges plus two. I take out two vertexes on the left-hand
side which I give the function of being poles. That leaves me"

"two nonpolar vertexes in the inventory. This means I will
have to put plus two over my equation over here. I am using
the sign of theta because it has the fundamental twoness, a
top and a bottom. So I have the plus two. I have two plus,
taking it out of every one of these vertexes. This means I
can take away the two on the other side of the equation, where
I had ges plus two (E + 2), in order to accommodate this
extra twoness, which was over here, which really had the polar
effect. So I have two poles plus these nonpolar vertexes in
here. I have taken that out of all of Euler's topological
description of all this hierarchy of polyhedra, which is done
in the hierarchy of relative volumes of oneness, fourness.
The 1 gets back down to a '2' later on, 2, 3, 5, and so
forth.
"This tells us then that where we take out the two poles,
the spin, there is a constant relative abundance for every
vertex in the Universe. There will always be two faces and
there will always be three edges. Which is to say then, that
form every event in the Universe, the number of lines (which
are the vectors, the energy actions) will always be three-- or
multiples of three."

Axis of Spin:
"This brings us to an identification. I have two kinds of
twoness here. There was the polar twoness, the two in every
layer. .
(5)
"There is another kind of twoness-- because remember in this
formula we have in the first layer, 12 balls, then 42 balls,
then 92 around one ball. And I said the center, the top ball
there, was just one ball all by itself. Let us take our
formula for how many balls there are in a layer. Quite clearly,
the first ball has no layers-- no outside layer, does it? So
the frequency is zero. You can't have frequency without two
to give it some integral. So our single ball, as nucleus
per se, doesn't have any layers around it, so it is zero.
So frequency is zero. Frequency to the second power is zero
times ten, which is zero, and plus two is two. So the center
ball always has a value of two. Because the exterior is
convex and the interior is concave, and because convex and
concave are not the same-- because one is an energy diffuser
and one is an energy concentrator-- this means then
that every
ball has two kinds of qualities of two. It has an additive
twoness of the balls plus an insideness-and-outsideness twoness.

"That was a multiplicative twoness. So I have a formula
here where there are two balls multiplied by the constant
relative abundance. Once the poles are taken out there is a
constant relative abundance of vertexes to base edge.
For
every vertex, for every event in the Universe, for each star,
there has to be two face and three edges (or three lines
or three vectors0. . in absolute constant relative abundance,
and the only difference all the way down through here is then,
there is a multiplicative twoness, outwardness and inwardness,
plus one of the prime numbers: 1, 2, 3, and 5 are the prime
numbers. There is a very great regularity showing up. And
it was then at the top of the five that we got our 92.

get the same thing."

"Every system has axial spin-ability.
Just pick up
anything and toss it around. Everything can and must be
spun. Lvery system has a spin axis. Lvery axis has two
poles. There are two of the vertexes of every system
that must always be assigned to the function of
implementing the system's spinning, for every system in
universe is always free to spin and must, in effect,
spin in respect to all other systems
due to the
experimentally demonstrated, omni-intercausative
precessional accelerations of all components of all
systems and of all systems in respect to one another."
