"To implement the invention of the calculus, man has used the
XYZ coordinate system formalized by Descartes out of the Greeks'
90-degree symmetrical 'crosstree' of three supposedly straight
and supposedly continuous'infinite lines.' We have learned to
reason only in terms of these experimentally demonstrated
fallacial suppositions and only in three dimensions: of
width (X), breadth (Y), and depth (Z). But width, depth, and
breadth do not include consideration of how hot a local
nor
structural event may be, not how long it has been there
how much it weighs. There are a lot of other aspects
Nature which the ghostly Greek kind of geometry did not acco-
mmodate, as for instance, the experimental information that
two actions cannot take place through the same point at the
same time-- i.e., two lines cannot run simultaneously through
the same point. In the Greeks' three-dimensional conception-
ings, 90-degree perpendicularity and nonparallelism to a plane
already established, were essential to qualification as a
new dimension. Thus in the development of the XYZ coordinate
system, we have found only three unique 90-degree line con-
vergences in a common 'point.' All our analytical geometry,
and the techincally difficult structures we build with it, are
translated through the XYZ coordinate system."

RBF DEFINITIONS
Calculus:
"The calculus is used to figure the relative acceleration
curves in the drag tank pattern tests for a ship like the
Queenary. Then the points along the curves are graphically
accommodated by translation through analytical geometry and
geometrical identification of the relative positions of the
various points in a three-dimensional grid cube of XYZ
coordinates.
(2)
"By 1913 1 saw that man had come to regard the three-dimensional
coordinate system as exclusively fundamental. But, thought,
that while the XYZ coordination served useful purposes, it
might also be possible that nature had some other quito super-
ior, rational, and comprehensive kind of coordinate system.
This occurred to me because the XYZ coordinate system inherently
requires recognition of such irrationalities as pi and the
paradoxical recognition that we cannot finitely subdivide the
circunference of a finite circle by its radius. There are a
great many irrational numbers occurring as 'fundamental'
constants in the mathematical coordination between mutually
remote scientific disciplines which I though might be the
consequence of our arbitrary use of the XYZ coordinate system.
Chemistry seemed to laugh at our coordinate awkwardness us"

"After the censuses of 1790 and 1810, Congress decided it
would be a good idea to have an economic census of the
country. As the beautiful document in Washington shows,
there were one million human families in the United States
in 1810. There were also one million human slaves, a formida-
ble figure. Ubviously all the families didn't have slaves.
Very few did, but the point is that the one-for-one ratio
must be recognized.
"The census found that the average homestead was worth $350
and the average slave was
estimated to be worth $440;
so the human machine was deemed more valuable than the home-
stead.
"Taking the total valuation, including canals, highways, and
so forth, and the estimated value of the wilderness at $1500
per family, the U.S. Treasury came to the conclusion that the
value of the United States in 1810 was $3 billion.

is central-angle partitioned. Circularly, it means a single
central angle. Spherically, it means a minimum of three
central angles: those of a tetrahedron formed with a circum-

Central Angles & Surface Angles:
"The tetrahedral integrity of internal (central) angles and
external (surface) angles of systems permits the integration
of the topological and quantum hierarchies. It is exciting
that the three internal radii give us three edges of the
tetrahedron's six edges; while the arc chords give us the three
other of the tetrahedron's six relationships; and the center of
the spheric system and the surface triangle's three corner-
vertexes give us the four-vertex-events having the inherent
six system relationships; which six are our coincidentally
six-positive, six-negative, equieconomical vectorial freedoms.
The central angles give us what we call the chords of the
central-angle arcs. Thus all-system-embracing geodesic lines
are expressible in angular fractions of whole circles or
cycles."

Chain Stronger Than Its Weakest Link:

"Speaking of structures, we have in chrome-nickel-steel an
example of symmetry in alloys. The chromium per se, the iron
per se, about 60,000 p.s.i. tensile strength ultimate; the
chromium about 70,000 pounds ultimate; the nickel 80,000
pounds ultimate. People used to say a chain is no stronger
than its weakest link. So you see whichever is the weakest
one ought to adulterate it. For instance, if you took
peanuts and sugar and made sugar candy with nuts in it,
whatever dissolves the easiest-- and the whole thing comes
apart. The weakest tells you, like the weakest link in the
chain. So we oght to say then of chrome-nickel-steel that
it couldn't be any stronger than the 60,000 pounds of the
iron. In fact this chrome-nickel-steel is very much
stronger. You may say I'm being unreasonable. Faybe this
chain is as strong as its strongest link.
So that says
out of the 80,000 the chrome still has 350,000. Well, maybe
I better add up the strength of the chain. So I'm going to
have a new kind of law: the chain is as strong as the sum
of the strengths of all its links. So I'm going to add
60,000 iron to 70,00 chromium and that gives me 130,000;
to which I add 80,000 for the nickel. That comes to 210,000.
Then I add in the manganese-- 250,000 total. But chrome-
nickel steel is 350,000, or 50 percent stronger than the sum"

"People are afraid of change and I find that these conditioned
reflexes of fear are just overwhelming. People don't like to
admit fear because they are so full of fear. And they are full
of fear because of the unknown, of how little man really knows,
and so afraid that those dependent on them are going to be in
jeopardy. So we have a really basic fear of change and it's very,
very difficult to cope with that conditioned reflex.
"Hence, we have to be comprehensive in our thinking, to be
infinitely tolerant, to understand rates of change, to under-
stand the inertia, to understand the fear. We must avoid doing
things that will excite the fear and do everything that will
eliminate it. I don't mean then to eliminate challenge-- for
challenge we must have. We will continue to have challenge
because the Universe is continually changing and we are going
to continue to be confronted with the new. We are here to be

"Mass attraction is always involved in bonding. You may not
have a bond without attraction, mass or magnetic (integral
or induced), all of which are precessional effects. As the
Sun's pull on the Earth produces orbiting, orbiting electrons
produce directional field pulls. This was not considered by
Euler because he was dealing with aspects of a single system.

Child As Laboratory:
"People of the older world are so apprehensive for the young.
They see the young are going to encounter the pains that they
have encountered. They are continually cautioning. As the
new life reaches out, they say 'Darling, you'll get burnt.
You better not do that.' And so we find the valves getting
shut off in all our love. Then when the parents don't say to
the child, 'You better not do that,' and the child is explor-
ing, trying to understand tension and pulling on a cable and
suddenly the lamp comes off the table on to their head. And
they say, "Why didn't somebody say "Don't"?" Or 'Why is that
there?' So that they get discouraged, either by the grownups
or the kind of environment the grownups have organized about
themselves with loose lamps... and so forth.
"I'm quite confident it could all be avoided. But we have to
realize that every little child is a superb laboratory. Watch
the child tearing paper. It tears all kinds of paper. And
having torn some fairly
common newspaper and wrapping paper,
it's then liable to get into your best books in the library
and wanting to tear them. Because your child has to find out
what it is when he holds on to it-- and what's not going to
tear when he really needs it.'

acts as an accelerator when he's vertical. He wants to have
some way to rest himself, but he can't get back to the horizon-

hold on to. So I find every child, then, is really a brill-

behaviors are in order to be able to employ them
methodically. I would think-- in view of the fact that there
really are fundamentals of structure, of tensions and compress-

be able to really make available to the child exactly what it

"When a little child pushes a spoon to the edge of the table
and it falls off and the parents pick it up and put it back.
And then the child does it again.
And if after it does it
about ten times, the parents say, "Maybe I've got a dumb
child here.' But the child is so normal to Universe that if
he did this out in space the spoon would just stay where he
put it.
It wouldn't fall off at all. This child has a very
healthy surprise at this phenomenon going on. Nothing is
quite so prominent in a child's life. His other is not
always around but gravity is always there. And every time
he tries to stand up-- Boom! Down he goes again! Everything
keeps going this way. Now I find that because our Earth is
so big we don't seem to see this thing being pulled toward
that. Because the Earth's mass is so very great and this
little mass here (on the table) is so tiny. That's the
prominent one, so friction is dominant. But we don't tend to
see it, to experience this falling-in.'

erroneous logic. They remember the juggler putting a
simultaneous array in the sky with nonsimultaneous tosses.
The childhood representational pictures depict their dynamically

agglomerated without any intended geometrical interrela-

"Of all the complex forces operating, one of the most powerful
of all is the fact that China, in order to pull 750 million
people together, separated over thousands of years-- nothing
would possibly do but to get out of the agricultural economy.
That is the essence of what Russia took on with its 25-year
plans. Russia had 80 million people die of starvation during
the first two five-year plans. How do you hold people together
over a long time? The only way you can do it is to exclude
subversives. You have to go on the offensive and become a
subversive outside: all the rest of the world is your enemy.
Russia had only 125 million to do it when she started it; and
China had 750 million and she saw that Russia had made a great
mistake by pouring its energies into armaments. So China has
been very determined not to do that. So they've gone in for
psychological warfare in the very, very biggest way. The idea
is to go out and keep everybody so preoccupied with their own
mess as to leave them alone.
"The psycho-guerrilla warfare is fantastic and it takes many,
many forms. And allthe kids get involved in it because it's

China will convince the entire world that success is possible

successful much earlier than anybody expected her to be. That's
one of the most fortunate things I can see in history. They are

And they are brilliant; the Chinese are just inherently brill-

world patterns of developing technology. Beginning in 1917,
I determined to employ my already rich case history, as

suburban New Englander, born in the Gay Nineties (1895)--
the year automobiles were introduced, the wireless tlegraph
and the automatic screw machine were invented, and X-rays
were discovered; having his boyhood in the turn of the
century; and maturing during humanity's epochal graduation
from the inert, materialistic 19th into the dynamic 20th
century. I named my documentation the Chronofile.
"As the era of this case history loomed into greater per-
spective for me, as readable in the Chronofile, it became more
accurately identifiable as that which, on the one hand,
terminated Sir Isaac Newton's normally 'at rest' world of
myriadly and remotely isolated hybrid cultures, to which
change was anathema; and, on the other, opened Einstein's
normally 'dynamic' omni-integrating world culture to which
change has come to seem evolutionarily inevitable.

Why do we want a city? We don't start off with cities
being a priori te man on our planet. It's something that
has evolved. Most things about our cities are completely
obsolete. . I'll have to say how the cities occurred:
They really started with wars. If you go around Europe
you'll still find yourself going through the city wall
gates. . . They started being places where goods are bought,
where caravans and trading ships began to find themselves
in confluence by nature, where they could be in anchorage.
And they develop great warehouses and it really gets to
be a kind of exploitation trap.
"Then Henry Ford found that it costs you money to have things
in warehouses. They were unnecessary. You could have your
goods stored in transit. Everybody's trying to get out
•
from under all the monopolies and all the exploitations.
In the Greeks time the thinkers were in the mountains and on
the beaches, and the city was occupied with the goods and
warehouses controlled bythe fighters and walls. All that
has changed
but man had the metaphysical
deployed and the physical concentrated in the city."

"A city is, in essence, nothing but a great service establish-
ment created to serve the needs of the transient. As such the
city has basically nothing to do with the production of food
or goods, but only to arrange for their transfer. Man deploys
from the city for his physical life and to the city for his
metaphysical life. The parts of the city such as the docks
and the wharves and rail terminals are incidental to the main
business of the city which is the transfer of information
(credit is a perfect example). The wharves and the terminals
are there because of the coincidence of the interference
patterns of their transport and the physical mobility of man
reinforced by the fact that man before the days of credit most
often traveled with the goods that he manufactured and owned.

Satellites can gather and transmit information as to the total
food supply on Earth and can tell where it's in surplus and
where it is lacking. The redistribution process, logically,
would never take it through a city.
"The same holds for the processing of goods, but with an added
reason: technology. For most of the technological improvements
were and still are a product of the intellectual communication
between men that takes place in a city. Thus the tanning of
leather took place because of the coincidence of technology,
hides, and

"Today in New York you have exactly the opposite of the Greek
city of many centuries ago, Then the thinker lived out of the
city, and all the metaphysical 'weightless' activities such as
thinking were conducted off in the remote places like Delphi,
and the thinker only came into the city to speak once in a while,
as Socrates did. Then and up until our own time cities were
places where the physical, as opposed to the metaphysical, was
concentrated-- all the warehousing, all the manufacturing, all
the wealth. This was really a very bad situation because of the
power the exploitative gangster-rulers held over the people who
lacked mobility and therefore had to stay in one place and work
for very menial wages. Then Henry Ford broke this monopoly with
the mass production of wheels. Now you have all the manufact-
uring and warehousing being deployed outside the city, and all
the metaphysical functions being concentrated inside. That is
what is happening in New York. It is becoming a metaphysical
abstract communications center. The only things that are being
produced are with typewriters and calculating machines, a lot of
figures, a lot of weightless, or practically 'weightless,' things.

away from the semblance of their vast labor group. We have
warehouses going out of the city. We have all the things
which are heavy and physical which used to be in the city
going away. In our earlier cities the city was a confluence
of the physical; the metaphysical, the thinking of man was
goin on off in the remote places, in mountains, the
proverbial scholar, when he really wanted to do thinking,
went off into Shangri La.
Whereas the metaphysical
used to be deployed and the physical was convergent in the
city, now all the physical has gone out of the city and what
is happening is that the people who go into the city go in
there for the metaphysical- for the abstract.
The only
manufacturing going in there is typewriters making symbols
on paper tickertapes. We have then the city becoming the
center of the abstract intercourse of man, where he goes in
either to exchange equities for goods. cities are now

Civil War:
"Now I'll give you something we can talk about like 'might
makes right. And this stone and compressiveness was really
the might. Big massiveness did the trick. And really to
understand how man over the ages was moved by this rather
than his tensile ability... More or less his intellectual
ability.
And that was very inferior; at best it was only
None-tenth of the compressor. Now man gradually learned to
make metal out of the stone and the first thing he made was
daggers. That's all he had. Then he could make some of the
bigger swords, and then maybe armour. Armour for the head
man and then a little armour for several of the soldiers.
But it was still rather negligible.
"It is not until we get to production of steel in 1851, only
a little more than a century ago, that we suddenly have steel
available in a big way. Production of steel was 1851... what
is called common steel at that time. Common steel came up
to 50,000 pounds tensile strength. In 1851 tension came to
parity with compression. And with this ability then to have
much longer spans to hold walls together. So men used then
not stone walls but steel beams. Ür they might use a long,
wooden beam with a steel rod below it to keep it up in the
miadle. You saw stone building with iron stars out here."

"We have a rod across to keep the walls from bursting out.
We see how to do away with having to have stone buttresses.
So we have tension suddenly coming in only about a little
over a century ago. Tensile came of importance. And there
have been higher tensile abilities on the sea with fiber-
made ropes, but they rotted pretty quickly. They were too
stretchable to use in building on the land. With that tension
coming to parity with compression, men suddenly had much
bigger span. And that's the beginning of his doing a lot of
work inside-- indoors. This came along exactly the same time
as the dynamo. This is why Abraham Lincoln... the Civil Mar
was really the beginning of men being able to do things in
the colder North, where they had steel for boilers and where
they could begin to control the heat inside. They are
beginning to do things which produce wealth, or higher
advantage for man, under cover, under controlled conditions,
as he had been doing out in the fields up to then.
why we really had the Civil War: the only difference between
people doing things for the North under controlled conditions
versus people who were doing things in the South with their
agriculture out in the open. From this time on tensile strength
begins to increase very rapidly."

all subsequent experimentation proved to be the case. The
scientists found that the energy redistribution always added
to 100 per cent. The scientists then formulated a new
description of the physical universe which they called the
new law of conservation of energy,' which said that
'experiments disclose that energy can neither be created nor

Club of Rome: Limits to Growth:

"At the opening press conference of... Habitat, I ms
asked to make a public statement regarding the Club of Rome
and its 1973 publication of 'The Limits to Growth.' I made
the statement that the Club of Rome had a few weeks
earlier April 1976--issued a complete public reversal of
its limits-to-growth concept. It had done so in a meeting
in Philadelphia at the University of Pennsylvania Museum.
There had been so many contradictions of the Club of
Rome's 1972 pronouncement of the limits to growth that they
had completely reconsidered their position. I said at the
press conference that I felt that the Club of Rome's first
statement was schemingly funded by vastly wealthy interests
who were continuing to do what money had done in the past:
i.e., to rationalise 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.'

his input data by other IT specialists. I and many others,
particularly our
World Game group, were able to make well-

that the Club of Rome's 'Limits to Growth' pronouncement
was a sadly ignorant statement. For instance, its computer
programmers cited only the very small remaining percentages
of the world's unmined metal ore reserves and were manifestly
unaware that the metals on our Earth are continually being
melted out of their last use and being recirculated in amounts
greatly exceeding the tonnage of metals being newly mined

do things- that's all they knew about. They did not know that
metals recirculate. They did not know that every time the
metals recirculate I can get two times as much performance for
twice as many people with the same metal. They didn't have the
right information to start off with. I wouldn't be at all
surprised if we used their formula and their model but gave them
my data, they would come out with the same conclusion I have:
that the world will work.

cold or vacuum alone remain. That is the best way for you to
look at it.

energy-as-heat is dissipating so fast as to leave cold gases
in your presence. Air that is cold because low in energy

the electrical-frictional affinities of molecules in lubricants,
cohesives and aggregates, and the ratios of those agglomerations

with thermodynamics in its advanced stage (comprehending
general characteristics of the energy phenomena in crystalline,

objective of science which seeks structurally to employ the
primary electrical polarity specifics of radiation.
"In compression, a tangential agglomeration of spheroids is

cellular elongations under compression tend to wedge and split
asunder their agglomerations. In tension, however, fibrous

*This continuous triangulation pattern strip is a 60-
degree angular 'come-and-go' alternation of very high-
frequency energy events of unit wavelength. This strip,
folded back on itself, becomes a series of octahedra.
octahedra strips then combine to form a space-filling array
of octahedra and tetrahedra, with all lines or vectors being
of identical length, and all the triangles equilateral, and
all the vertexes being omnidirectionally evenly spaced from
one another. This is the pattern of closest packing of

Complementarity:
"There is also the word complementarity.
We cannot have one phenomenon complemented
By less than one other phenomenon.
The words complementarity and relativity
Do not identify identical physical phenomena
And we find that the ponderable physical energy Universe
Does embrace both complementarity and relativity."

RBF DEFINITIONS
Complementarity:
"Physics has found
That every fundamental
Behavioral patterning in Universe
Always and only coexists
With a complementary
But non-mirror-imaged patterning.
The non-simultaneity and dis-similarity
Of the complementary inter-patternings
Produce what we sense to be reality,
Otherwise they would cancel one another
And there would be no sensoriality."

RBF DEFINITIONS
Complementarity:
"Complementarity requires that where there is conceptuality
there must be nonconceptuality. The explicable requires the
inexplicable. Experience requires the nonexperienceable.
The obvious requires the mystical. This is a powerful group
of paired concepts generated by the complementarity of
conceptuality. Eergo, we can have annihilation and yet have
no energy lost."

Complementarity:
"Only in the mid-twentieth century did it become
scientifically clear that unity is plural-- and, at
minimum, two-- that all experimentally detectable phenomena
have their unique opposites, and that the complementary
opposite behaviors are never mirror images of one another.
"Science is remiss and unnecessarily prejudicial in
calling one of a pair of complementary behaviors "negative."
There are always much better descriptive terms. In structural
systems' phenomena we have "compression" and "tension."
As we tense a rope it tautens-- that is, its girth contracts.
This means that the rope is also compressing in a plane at
90 degrees to its tensed axis. But tension and compression
always and only coexist, as do all the fundamental comple-
mentarities such as concave and convex, or associative and
disassociative, proton and neutron, male and female."

Complementarity:
"Every behavior in the Universe has been discovered
by the physicists to have its complementary opposite
(though the negative is never the mirror image of the
positive). Every nuclear particle has its opposite.
The negative weights are balanced by positive weights.
The average of all the weights is therefore sero.
This has extraordinary implications.
We are dealing
in a Universe of pure intellectual abstraction."

there. So a computer is simply another one of those tools;
it is a larger storage, and by virtue of the fact that you
can add energy into the system, you can retrieve faster. . .
It can hold a number of patterns, and they're really quite
complex ones, so we get the inherent synergetic results from
the fact that we're getting all the juxtaposed information
almost simultaneously, which our mind picks up synergetically
as we get it from the computer.

"The other-- diametric-- function of the computer is
integration. And the probability is that the computer and
its subsidary automation will will not make man obsolete
as an integrator for several million years-- possibly never.
We introduce great complexities into integration, many
variables, and the interrelationships of which we wish to
comprehende, and that is what the human mind is doing all the
time. I can tell you quickly why the computer is never, or
not for a long time, going to displace man as the integrator.
The total variables that we deal with integratively all deal
with a series of original questions which we have asked
ourselves. Furthermore, those original questions and their
discovered answers are relayed from generation to generation
by chromosomic instructions which implement our appropriate,
survival-accomplishing, subconscious reflexing to myriad
variations of environment stimuli. We have at least two
million Years and possibly vast aeons more of cumulative
instructions for relaying our various question-askings and
constant answer-relationships. Philosophers used to say that
the computers would not be able to ask an original question.
But it is now some time since a computer first asked an
original question when it hadn't been told to ask an original
question.

environment and in the machine itself which had not been
anticipated by the machine's designers and operators it
went ahead and asked an original question. That occurrence
requires explanation. Computers can play games, and the
same computer can play two games. The same computer can
play chess, backgammon, and checkers. Now I am going to
have a computer playing backgammon and checkers at the same
time. The things you have to do in order to be able to make
a move in backgammon are much more complex than the things you
have to do in order to make a move in checkers. Therefore,
the checker moves get played a little more rapidly than do
the backgammon moves. So the checker moves are are going
like this (taps table rapidly) and the backgammon moves (taps
more slowly) more slowly. The fast moves are not whole-
number multiples of the time lapses of the slower (bigger)
moves. Every once in a while these movement rates get to
the point where one is catching up to the other and suddenly
the two come momentarily together in seeming synchronization.
You get this synchronization hum in variable-speed motors such
as the twin motors of an airplane or a boat.. When the

"of the human brain in respect to the computer, some of their
claims might in time prove valid. For a long time philosophers
assumed that the computer could not ask original questions.
They said that the computer could only re-ask a question man
has taught it to ask.
"Despite the philosophers' wishful predictions, the computer
has now demonstrated its ability to ask an original question--
and it did so without being instructed. Otherwise the question
could not be assessed as 'original.' The surprise demonstration
came about approximately as follows: You can teach a computer
to play games, for instance to play checkers. You can also
teach a computer to play backgammon. You also can build a
computer with enough parts to permit it to play both back-
gammon and checkers at the same time.
"Now, both backgammon and checkers are played at different
rates. Furthermore, the checker moves are simple and direct.
Backgammon is complex. Therefore the same computer, playing
both games concurrently, completes the checker moves far more
rapidly than the backgammon moves. The backgammon rate is"
not an even wavelength multiple of the checker rate."

"Therefore, as with disynchronous, high-frequency twin motors,
there develops a secondary low-frequency, intermittent recurrence
of coincident eycles, or interferences. Suddenly the machine
has to make both the checkers and the backgammon moves at the
same time. Because the computer has a given wavelength interval
within which to make moves, and because the latter is too short
to accommodate both moves, the machine has to decide which it
will play first. It has to ask itself and then decide, 'Which
is more important, checkers or backgammon?* If the machine has
stored enough information on variable factors, including
previous decisions, it may soliloquize: 'Poor people play
checkers and rich people play backgammon. I'd better cast my
vote for the priority
of backgammon because my memory storage
also
tells me that all the poor people are becoming rich and
will emulate their conditioned-
reflex image of being rich.'
From this moment, rightly or wrongly, the machine's storage
contains this prospero-proletarian predilection.
Which is more important, checkers or backgammon?' is an
original question that had never been asked by man of himself
or of the machine. We find that the asking of original
questions is a consequence of interferences, whether in the
computer or the human brain."

Conceptual Modela:
"The real break between science and the public occurred
when science found that invisible behaviors of nature could
be ferreted out by instruments and computationally mastered
without recourse to conceptual models, which had become
seemingly invalid due to the inability to model fourth
dimensionality with XYZ 90-degree coordination, which
however, could be readily computed mathematically. With the
wholesale migration of science into the world of invisibility
without any conceptual models of reference, the literary man
who depended upon conceptual models or analogies for his
verbal pattern relaying was automatically excluded from
either rignside participation or backrow glimpsing of the
significant affairs of science.
"The natural four axis, 60-degree, tetrahedronal
coordinate system... returns conceptuality' of dynamic
structural principles to scientific validity."

Conceptual Mathematics:
"Because synergetics is conceptual, it will make it possible
for people to teach themselves in a very Montessori-like
way. The present mathematics of science has to be taught
because it is so incredibly complex and utterly devoid of
conceptuality. It is just formulas, formulas, formulas,
consisting of symbols utterly unfamiliar to any of the public
in any language. It consists then of invisible games
played with unfamiliar objects which can only be taught by
others: nothing is self-evident.
"Inasmuch as I am challenging the whole of academic science,
acceptance is not going to come from them.... It is only
going to come from a young world who find that synergetica
opens the whole of physics to their own observational
discovery.

"It is interesting to me that there was... a professor of
engineering at one of New York's large universities... who

by synergetics. Electrical engineers deal with the realities
of physics and have to understand what it is doing.... The
electrical engineers clearly encouraged me to hope that the
practical public acceptance will come within the critical
period necessary for humanity to veer away from its course
to self-extinction.

conversion of the awkward XYZ-axis mathematics to provide
agreement with the energy increments as physically ciscovered,

"The spheric experience is a high-frequency omnidirectional
complex of events and their relatedness. Since it is concerned
with the most economical relatedness we can also speak of it
geodesic spherical experience. This is where the
importance of chords comes in. A chord is abstract, yet
tensive. A chord has pull: we would probably not think about
the connections unless there was some pull between them. The
function of the chords is to relate. The event is the vertex.
The reaction is the chord, the pulling away. And the
resultant is the inadvertent definition of the nothingness
of the areal and volumetric spaces. The sequence is: Events;
Chords; No-events. No-events = Novents. Areas do not create
themselves. They are incidental to the lines between the
events. The faces are the bounding of nothingness. Areas

Considered Set:
"What we do in thinking, after deliberately excluding
the irrelevancies and thereby inadvertently isolating the
considered set is to further subdivide the universe into
four parts: (1) All the parts of the universe which are
external because too large and infrequent, and (2) all the
events of universe which are internal because too amall
and too frequent to be resolvable and discretely differ-
entiated out for inclusion in our interrelationship
considerations, (3) all of the lucidly relevant remainder
of universe which constitutes the considered and re-consid-
ered set of experiences as viewed from outside the set,
and (4) the lucidly relevant set as viewed from inside
the set. Part (1) is the untuned macrocosmic long wave
length, low frequency, high energy set; Part (2) is the
untuned micrososmic short wave, high frequency, low energy
set; and Parts (3) and (4) are the tuned, plus-minus,

rhombic dodecahedron is externally tangential; and the initial
vector equilibrium's central vertexes are congruent with the
volumetric center of the initial, i.e., nuclear sphere.
"It was our synergetics' discovery and strategy of taking the
two poles out of Euler's formula which permits disclosure of
the omnirational constant relative abundance of V's, F's, and

Constellar:
"Constellar means an aggregation of enduring, cosmically
isolated, locally co-occurring events dynamically
maintaining their interpositioning: i,e,, macroconstellations
such as the 'Big Dipper,' 'Orion,' and the 'Southern Cross;'

cheese, flesh, water, and atomic nuclei."

RBF DEFINITIONS
Constellar:
The regenerative patterns of structural events may be
described as constellar because their component events
interinterfere tensively in high-frequency, dynamic, self-
regenerative patternings which only superficially seem to
stand together as 'static structures. Star groupings 'fly'
in celestial formation, though seeming to hang motionless
in the celestial theater. Any event patternings that
become locally regenerative are constellar patterns. They
are momentarily conceptual."

Continuous Man:

"I have given the name 'continuous man' to the slowly accumula-
ting total world experience and total literate knowledge
regarding all the discovered physical resources and generalized
patterning principles-- in contradistinction to the illiterate,
discontinuous man, local in time and geography, whose nonrelayed,
experience-won knowledge limited his tool capabilities to
devices which any one individual might invent entirely on his
own initiative, starting nakedly in the wilderness. My definition
of industry is a tool-regenerating complex in which none of the
tools could be produced, operated, or used by one man-- for
example, the Queen Mary, Grand Coulee dam, the Pennsylvania
Turnpike, etc.
"All around the world are found unbelievably large heaps of
artifacts of discontinuous man, each, in effect, starting all
over again learning a little, incorporating the little in
hand-crafted tools, dying without comprehension of aught but the
local limitations and inadequacies of his infinitely surrounded
and apparently exclusive local reality."

continuously enlightening experience, continuously translated
into continuously improving extracorporeal rearrangements of

Universe within which only individual man is engulfed in an

"We do not arrive at dimensionality by virtue of perpendicular
or
parallel assembly. Dimensionality in synergetics provides
for assembly only by convergence and divergence. This accounts
for the spontaneous and continued frustration of conventional
mathematical accounting when confronted with the problem of
assembling a nonpolarized omnisymmetrical object by joining
two identical
halves of the multifrequenced, closest-sphere-
packed tetrahedra, each of which has five similar facets; two
of which are equiangled triangles; two of which are trapezois;
and the fifth
being a non-equi-edged parallelogram. Matching
any of these faces produces asymmetrical polarized objects.
One of the non-equi-edged parallelograms must be precessionally
rotated to cross
the other at 90 degrees when it will be seen
that the converging-diverging patterns of the two halves are
symmetrically realized."

Convergent vs. Parallel Perception:
"All exclusively three-dimensional matrixes, consisting only
of parallel lines and perpendicular rectilinear interactions--
like parallel railroad tracks--inherently fail to accommodate
any terminal convergence. Such matrixes fail to accommodate
the inherent strategy of range-finding: the fact that the
linear-distance relationship between our two human eyes--and
also those of other optically equipped creatures--was designed
to provide the base line of a triangle whose opposite apex
occurs at the position of a sighted object. The convergent
apex angle of the object provides the human brain's computer
circuitry with a limited, distance-to-object-magnitude apprais-
ing, or range-finding perceptivity, whose maximum terrestrial
range is the horizon. Beyond the horizon the distances apart
of remote objects are reduced to optically nontunable angle-
size-or-frequency discernability. Ergo, at the maximum
tunability of differential-wavelength-perceptivity our range-
finding optical system produces a false image of a seemingly
convergent pair of parallel railroad tracks. It is not that
the tracks or the ties are coming together but that the distance
between them is subtunable."

RBF DEFINITIONS
Co-orbiting of Earth & Moon around Sun:
"Critical proximity would be, for instance, the relative
interpositioning of the distances of the Moon-Earth toan's
Sun co-orbiting wherein there is a complex mass-attraction
hookup. When at critical proximity the 180-degree mass
attraction takes over and one starts falling into the
other--with the attraction fourfolded every time the distance
between them is halved--they establish a mass-attreaction,
relative-proximity 'contact' bond and interoperate thereafter
as a universal joint'--or a locally autonomous motion
freedoms joint. Either body is free to cargy on individual,
local, angular-relationship-changing motions and transforma-
tions by itself, such as revolving and precessing. But
without additional energy from elsewhere being applied to
their interrelationship, they cannot escape their critical
proximity to one another as they co-orbit together around the
Sun--with which they are in common critical proximity."

"Now I was assistant to the director of research for Phelps-
Dodge and it was just at the time of World War I that
flotation came in and the electrolytic refining of the copper.
This so speeded up and reduced the cost of production of the
copper that they found that the gold and silver occurring with
the copper paid for the complete cost of mining and refining
and bringing to market. Therefore the copper itself cost you
nothing. You would only take it out of the ground when you
could get the highest price; so it was a war price.

"Now, World War I then-- we'd just gotten electromagnetics,
enough to really amount to something. In the one year, 1917,
man refined and put on the market in one year more copper than
he had mined and refined sumtotally in all the years before.
And for years after that we stayed at this new magnitude.
Copper was the handmaiden of energy, both in generation and
delivery. Showing then what an energy war it was, was this
extraordinary jump. And when the war was over-- all the wars
up till this time had been agricultural in the agricultural
accounting system of nature-- and when the war was over you had
taken all the farm boys, and used up all of the farm products,
and you trampled all the farms down, and bore it, and everybody"

have been very immoral because there were a lot of fortunes made
here. What happened was-- all over-- that the copper had not
rotted, and it didn't go back in the mines: it stayed right
where it was generating power and conducting power from Niagara
Falls, from here to there. And so suddenly it was the first
war where we came out wealthier than when we went in. The
wealth was in the production capability. But this was not put
on the books this way at all. There was not a great accounting
change at this time. And the land was still it. The physical
assets and not the know-how. This power thing was all know-how....
"Now this is what we really mean by the words 'know-how.' And
we went through this copper business. The first telephone: one
wire, one message was all we could get over one cross section;
that's all we knew about it. It came as a tremendous surprise
when about 15 years later-- you could get two messages over
the same cross section. And then suddenly we found you could
get 10 or 12 (I've forgotten which it was); and then it went up
to 28 with the same cross section. 230: same cross section.
2000: same cross section... the frequency modulation over

Copper
"Copper is so relatively abundant that it can be functionally
used and its functions are very important. Next to gold it
is the highest conductor. Its reflectivity is next to gold.
It has great workability; it doesn't harden the way steels do.
Its nonrustability lets you put it into alloys and make
forgings that are very strong. All these things mean that it
has a great many functional uses. And it has a nonsparking
quality; you get the sparks with the steels and the ferrous.
All the ferrous have sparks and the nonferrous don't spark.
"There are so many functional uses of copper and it's relatively
abundant. So while its functionally used, it is scarce enough
that its cautiously used, because it costs so much more than
the ferrous. It is the most sensitive indicator I can find
of all the metals. Iron is so much cheaper that it gets
carelessly used many times where the copper doesn't. Iron will
follow whatever copper does. Copper, then, is my lead metal to

"The beginning is really World War I-- the first big industrial
war using big industrial tools. Here man shunted energy into
the ends of levers in an enormous way. The way you get the
most energy from one place to another in the greatest amount
and in the greatest hurry is by wire, which is much faster
than by pipeline or tanker. In World War I copper was used
because it was the most plentiful of the metals and was a good
conductor. In just one year, 1917, man mined and put to work
more copper than he had in the whole of man's history before--
an idea of the magnitude of the energy undertakings in World
War I. He had two new technical capabilities, flotation and
electrolytics, refinements that made it possible to get that
copper to work very much faster. Since that time, man has been
using copper in new magnitudes. But when the war was over and
that wire was mounted on those poles it kept right on conducting
electricity. What we have done was to rearrange the environment.
We had taken the copper out of the Earth and we put it to use

Coring:
"Euler found that when we put a hole through a system
and core it as in a doughnut, the number of the vertexes
plus the number of the areas always equal the number of
the lines. The number two dropped out. Coring dropped
out the balancing integer two from the right hand side of
the equation. I, therefore, said to myself that the integer
two, which was dropped out from the right hand side of the
equation was thought of by Euler and the topologists who
followed him as being an empty integer necessary for balancing
the equation, did in fact represent another conceptual or
distinguishable pattern consideration, which was the twoness
representing the poles of the core which had been removed."

RBF DEFINITIONS
Coring:
"If the pattern has a hole through it like a doughnut
then we don't have plus anything. We leave out the two from
the solid. When we leave out the two from the solid it is
really a doughnut and we are cutting out the axis which is
to say that the axis is two. The plus two which Euler
found has to be added to vertexes plus faces equals edges
plus two, when it is a structure in the round; but when we
put a hole through it, we find we drop off the two and then
it is vertexes plus faces equals edges. The plus two comes
from coring, like coring an apple, which is to take out
the axis. Ky identification of plus twoness is verified as
it has been shown up as the number of balls in any layer.
In the round affair the two related to the axis of spin is
inherent for any system, so we now allow the energy to
account for the spinning.'

by photosynthesis to convert it in beautiful orderly molecular

call instead of entropy; I call it syntropy-- and this is
where the energies are being impounded and sorted and collected
in the most orderly ways. All the biological organisms
making these beautiful hydrocarbons. And one each to the other,
and so the little insect gets big, and the trees get bigger, as
the hydrocarbons are continually being impounded, and getting
buried more deeply and deeply. And so what we've been dealing
in actually, oil-wise, and fossil fuels, and so forth-- is
really exhausting some of the enormous savings account....

significant. And the reciprocating engine is inherently only
15 percent efficent. That's all the work we're getting out of
it for really very obvious, simple reasons: The push on top
of the piston sends it one way and the crankshaft contradicts
it and sends it the other way-- so you've lost your direction
altogether; there was a little momentum of the crankshaft
having a little rotary-- it's called a 180-degree restraint.
But we have a little explosion on the side here and the
connecting rod-- or call it a turbine-- 90-degree restraint,
and it goes from 15 to 30 percent efficiency... fundamentally.
Then you get into no restraint at all in a jet engine and you
get up to 60 percent. And with the new fuel cells of the space
program we get up to 85 percent. (The equipment is expensive,
but it's a fantastically efficient operation.

"The name,
COSMIC FISHING, which Ed [Applewhite] uses
in his book came about in the following way. Very frequent-
ly as I was working on the manuscript some special turn of
thought brought me in full view of a magnificent new
awareness. I would stop my work and call to Ed typing at
a table behind me and say, 'Ed you are very good at writing
things down quickly, please make a record of this,' and I
would then describe the new vista of physics or mathematical
relationship which to the best of my knowledge had heretofore
never been discovered by humans within our known history.
I described to Ed the fisherman fishing over the side of a
boat with his bait, sinker, hook and line suspended motion-
lessly deep in the water when suddenly there comes a nibble.
The competent fisherman learns to jerk the line quickly
enough to catch the fish's mouth, otherwise fish are very
expert in nibbling away the bait from the hook without
getting caught. Then the fisherman, if he can hook the fish,
reels it in and some fish battle very powerfully.
"I pointed out to Ed that the intuitions of humanity are the
fishing equipment--that many, many people get the bright idea
or nibble but then become interested in some other matter,

all those scientists' great discoveries that all of them make
it clear that the number one factor leading to their success-

that made them turn suddenly in the right direction from
another preoccupation. Then they also make clear the second

Cosmic Symmetry!
"In contradistinction to any other Platonic or Archimedean
symetrical 'solid,' only the tetrahedron can accommodate
local asymmetrical addition or substraction without losing
its cosmic symmetry. Thus the tetrahedron becomes the only
exchange agent of Universe that is not itself altered by the
exchange accommodation."

"A comet is a celestial itinerant, a cosmic skyways vacuum
cleaner trying to accommodate an aggregation of stardust as
it travels successively through the orbital neighborhoods of
planets, stars, and other comets. The radiation pressures
from the nearest stars, however, tend to blow the vacuum
cleaner's stardust gleanings out into a dust bag,' causing
what we erroneously speak of as the comet's tail. These
'tail' displays should be spoken of as Sun-radiation blowoff
trajecteries. As the comet comes into critical proximity
of syntropically importing planets, the stardust aggregates
of their inverted 'tails' are gravitationally depleted by the
planets they pass as much of that stardust falls into the
planets or moons to become part of those import centers'

saying the most important things in the simplest way and
children are continually saying these important things in

talks about as creative, as if you were just being a little
child and retaining that quality when you are older, when
you have had more experience and can still
see
claerly and lucidly and say things economically. That is

Critical proximity is inherent to all intertransformability
and interaccounting of eternally regenerative Universe, as for
instance in the myriad varieties of frequencies from aeons to
split seconds. When the Earth's orbit passes through a comet's
stardust plume we witness some of the comet's stardust falling
in to Earth captivity, some if it igniting as it enters the
atmospheric gases, some falling into Earth, and some with such
acceleration as to pass only through the atmosphere leaving
meager entropic dust to fall to Earth."

operationally evidenced that the conceptual system

invisible trampoline, as in man-made machinery the teeth of
gears enter into the valleys, the mass attraction forces
finally provide an invisible suspension bridge whereby none
of the atoms ever touch one another."

relative positioning of the moon and the earth where in

takeover attraction, they operate thereafter as a universal
joint. Either body is quite free to carry on all kinds
of individual motions and transformations by itself, such

"Synergetics has discovered that the vectorially most economical
control line of nature is the diagonal of the cube's face and
not its edge; that this diagonal connects two spheres of the
isotropic-vector-matrix field; and that those spherical centers
are congruent with the two only-diagonally-interconnected
corners of the cube. Recognizing that these cube-diagonal-conn-
ected spheres are members of the closest packed, allspace-
coordinating, unit radius spheres field, whose radii = 1
(unity), we see that the isotropic vector matrix's field-occur-
ring-cube's diagonal edge has the value of 2, being the line
interconnecting the centers of the two spheres, with each half
of the line being the radius of one sphere, and each of the whole
radii perpendicular to the same points of intersphere tangency."

two tetrahedra symmetrically together, they have a common

of having two
sets of four separate stars, I now have eight
stars symmetrically equidistant from the same center and from
each other. All the stars are nearer to each other in their
separate four-star aggregations as tetrahedra, where the
distances between the star vertexes were the uniformly-sized
six edges of the tetrahedra. In their cubical integration the
next three nearest stars to each star are only the distance
of their right-angled legs of the cube's 12 edges apart from
one another, while the tetrahedra's edges are the diagonals,
or hypotenuses, of the cubes' six square faces. Each star has
three nearer stars as well as three more remote stars, already

Wherefore around each of the outermost exposed corners of the

pairs of 45-degree corners of the four asymmetric tetrahedra

Lest one good custom should corrupt the world.'
"Tennyson saw that a custom once appropriate to a given time,
adopted by virtue of 'being realistic' might survive too long.
He thought the bad customs would take care of themselves.
But since change is inexorable--it's the good customs that
may hold up change and bring great delays and lurches in the
inevitable evolutionary trends. It is an interesting notion
of Tennyson's. The only thing that counts is not customs
and culture but what the evolutionary trends of Universe may
be.

Last One Good Custom Corrupt the World:
"We all know the lines
'The old order changeth, yielding place to the new,
And God fulfils himself in many ways,
"But we're not so familiar with the next line, which is:
'Lest one good custom should corrupt the world.'
"That's the point about one good custom-- if change is
inexorable-- holding on to a custom which was satisfactory
yesterday, may be an obstacle to evolution today.
"We are now at a point where all of humanity is coming into
a new fundamental relationship in Universe. It's man's
mind that has access to those eternal principles. There are
no exceptions to the principles therefore they are inherently
eternal. The larger complex of Universe is never predicted
by the lesser. It is grand strategies of working from the
whole to the particular which will characterize our education
in the future, abandoning any thought that the parts are
going to tell you about the whole. That's what Tennyson was
trying to get at."

Custom: Lest One Good Custom Corrupt the World:
"In the time of Tennyson tradition was about as strong as
it could be; change was abput at its lowest in social affairs.
Technology had not yet taken over. Still, Tennyson was able
to conceive of the approaching industry-- even to consider
flight. In Morte D'Arthur he said
The old order changeth, yielding place to the new
As God Fulfills himself in many ways...'
And then he says something that is unfamiliar to most people:
*Lest one good custom should corrupt the world.'
"He realized that a habit that was once completely satisfactory
to man may be maintained after its time. As entropy is always
operative and the Universe is altering, change is inexorable.
Therefore, holding on to a good custom is equivalent to
damming up the Universe and so the flood will only be worse
when the dam does break. It is really the most pleasing
traditions of yesterday that bring about the greatest social
revolutions. At the moment we are finding agreat many
seemingly satisfactory kinds of custom from yesterday-- "

RBF DEFINITIONS
Cybernetics:
"Cybernetics, the Greek name for the steering of a boat was
first employed by Norbert Winer to identify the human process
of gaining and employing information. When the rudder of a
ship is angled to one side or the other of the ship's keel line,
the ship's hull begins to rotate around its pivot or deepest
keel point. Since ships have great weight--usually in ton
magnitudes--frequently in thousands of ton magnitudes-- the
momentum of that tonnage's pivotong tends to keep rotating the
ship beyond the helmsman's intention. He therefore has to
'meet that ship's altering of its course which he does by
putting the rudder over into the opposite angular direction,
which always produces a momentum contradiction and a resultant
course alteration to the opposite side of the desired ship's
course. It is impossible to altogether elminate the ship's
course re-alterations. It is possible only to reduce the
degree of angular errors by ever more sensitive, frequent, and
gentle corrections.
"Though successively sensed visual information, the ship's
helmsman discovers that he has oversteered first on one side
and then on the other side of the compass course he is desireus
of maintaining in order to reach his unseeable, faraway destination.
