Halfway-round-the-Worlding:
"We have total industry as a model that deals with metals and
not just local vegetation from the agrarian era... but the
metals were all around the world and man had to go halfway round
the world on the average-- from where he started to find all
the metals that he needed; and he took them out of the ground,
from their matrix, and then he had to progressively refine
them, some of it done locally but mostly moved into a place
where there were great energy headquarters with energy available
to separate out the ores more. He finally separated out more
and more until he got to maximum separation. At this point he
might then have pure metal and then he could begin to associate
that metal with another metal as an alloy. As he associates
more and more the parts get into a larger assembly and finally
you get into the total complex of technology.
"In order to justify having gone halfway round the world and
doing this enormous patterning, taking a long time doing it,
he then has to find the most people in the world who are going
to be benefitted by what he has done; and so he deduces that
he may have to go halfway round the world again.

decrease the relative-proximity interattractiveness and accommo

RBF DEFINITIONS
Hammerthrow:
"There are two kinds of acceleration in physics. Of all the
physical Universe there are only two basic kinds. One is
what is called linear acceleration and the other is angular
acceleration. When you take a hold of a steel ball on a
rod, we call it a hammerthrow in sports events, you start
spinning it around you. That is an angular acceleration
and you measure it in terms of the cycles or fractions of
circles as it goes round in a circle. If you have a piece
of pie, those are angular accelerations.
"When you let go and it goes away from you, it is now
linear acceleration. All of our rockets are linear
acceleration and all our firings are calculated in terms of
the linear. As something goes away from you like a rocket
all you can see is a little speck and then it goes away.
The only way you know where it is is in terms of knowing at
what angle it went off, and how fast it goes, and you can
look at the clock and you find it is so many cycles of the
clock and the linear accelerations are measured in increments.

are going to give him a hammer and start it spinning. Before
we start him spinning I am going to put a very large belt
around his waist here. He is able to shove off with his
feet all right and keep moving around here bat his waist is
so tightly held in this belt that he can't lean over and
I have a great many hooks on this belt. And we give him
another one. And we gradually give him one hammer after
another and he gets them all accelerating and it is finally
like a grass skirt with all these balls out here. He can't
stop himself. The angular acceleration is very, very great

put a roller bearing stand under his feet and have
another roller bearing stand above it and we clamp it down

hammers that
they are touching one another, they are tangent

don't have any pea shooting but peas are nice to deal in

because you can stop them with your finger and you can't stop

blows and the peas are coming out. We stand over here and

down on it slowly and we find that if we touch the trajectory
of the peas that the peas will deflect. That is fairly

balls I'm going to learn that it deflects. So I am going
to put my finger out and touch the ball as it goes by and
the first ball goes by and it deflects. The next ball comes
by and it is deflected. They all come around quite rapidly
and each get deflected. Because however these balls are not
free, they are attached by wire to him, they go down in

Hammerthrow: (Peashooter & Deflection - 2):
my hand yet is horizontal and so it kind of has a bent
waffle form. Finally all of them go on by and now all
of them are going like this. Here they were going around
like this and the one that came by me here, I turned it
down like that so it starts down here so they are all doing
this in respect to me. The fact is that if you touch a
flywheel, like that, powerfully, you would very often
explode them due to the fact that you do change these angles.
"I am going to do something to protect this whole situation.
The man is still spinning but I am going to get him to
start all over again and he is spinning horizontally here
and before I touch it I am going to take some mylar tape
which is very sticky and I am going to drape it on the balls
as they go by. I keep feeding it out and it keeps going
around here sticking very hard to the balls. The balls
have the mylar tape sticking to the tops of them. This is
the ball that I touch with my finger and it stops and
deflects and goes down here and because it does there was
a nurture of this one here and this will pull this one up.
This is simply a see-saw. If I push this one down, this
one stays at a nurture and this one goes up and because
this one is coming down the tension of this one pulls this

one up to here. It can't help it and the same tension will
pull all of them upwardly.
"Now I am going to do something else. Instead of using the
cellophane tape, I am going to have the series of the balla
tangent to one another going around here. We are going to give
this hammer thrower a whole lot more balls and there will
be one lodge here and another lodge there. They keep
building up and I give him some more. They will be on
the top and on the bottom. The wheel gets to be very thick,
but this set are horizontal and due to the acceleration the
ones on the top and bottom both try to get horizontal so
theypress very hard on the horizontal layer. They build up
so much friction due to the rotation that they are much
better than the cellophane tape. You know that when I touch
the wheel with this ball going by here the tension goes
back along this way and acts as a fulcrum and the whole wheel
will bend downwardly so that the wheel that was going by me
horizontally like this goes in this position. Let's get this
patterned again-- the ball is going by me here and they are
all thick now and when I touch the wheel that is going around
me like this it is deflected so it has to go in to a pattern
like that. As it went by me it went down into that pattern.

"When my domes were first being developed Wilfred was inventing
the color organ. Nature changes colors quite rapidly.
We get
to feel gray on a gray day. The seasons change slowly; the
changes of day and night are more frequent. Colors don't change
in seconds; colors tend to change in minutes or hours. But
sounds change really quite rapidly, as in brooks and bird

"We've discovered experimentally and Heisenberg's indeter-

that which is measured. Just to single out this phenomenon
enough to begin to try and isolate it would be to alter it
by doing that. Just the light that comes to bear as you make
a microscopic note, just the light there, changes the temper-
ature and the behavior. You discover then that the act
measurement always alters the measured. You find the poets
saying earlier that the act of just consideration of history
alters history. It really does say thought itself simply
alters that which you think about."

In which the act of measuring
Always alters the measured,

Would seem entropic were it not
For the experimentally realized knowledge
That the successive alterations
Of the observed,
Diminish
As both our tooling and instrumentation
Continually improve;
Ergo intellection's effect
Upon measurment and the measured
Is a gap closing,
And the pursuit of more truthful comprehension
Is successfully antientropic.
Before Heisenberg, T.S. Eliot said,
*Examination of history alters history'
And Ezra Pound,

Reported their discoveries
That in one way or another
The act of thinking alters thought itself."

spherical structure of fat-thin diamonds will stretch out to
a cylinder with those poles at the opposite ends. As it

that precession is synergetic to the mass attraction. Then we
find there's nothing about the atoms per se-- an atom-- that
tells you it combines to make molecules. There's nothing about
molecules per se that predicted they will make biological
protoplasm. There's nothing about biological protoplasm per
se predicts both pine tree and elephant-- and the exchange of
gases between the mammals and the vegetation. In other words
i find that Universe is a series of hierarchies-- of hierarchies
of synergies where the more complex is not explained by the
lesser. if you really want to get any important kind of

desert you, because they can't put in their own power
generation. So you want to be sure to have as much as they
need, so you always have to generate a little more than
is actually used. That is wasted. But by integrating the
living patterns of two cities you can even out the peaks and
valleys so you always make money, and up go your profits
by integrating cities. Say 350 miles was the limit.
Suddenly we're coming into an entirely new era, and it is
now actually being instituted, of being able to use a
million volts which means 1500 miles. The 1500 miles means
we're going to be able to integrate three time zones right
across the country. The net effect is to increase deposits
both in the United States government and in the private sector
of about 30 percent-- a very big step-up.'

RBF DEFINITIONS
Homosexuality:
"
RBF:
During all those thousands and thousands of
years before our time, nature really gave man the capacity
to make many, many babies. Now suddenly she doesn't need
them anymore. So I'm not at all surprised to see girls
dressing like boys and boys dressing like girls. I'm not
at all surprised to see women getting very naked, because the
more naked they are, the more they tend to discourage the
sex urge. Part of the procreative urge is man's insatiable
curiosity. You are covered up with skirts and man is
driven by curiosity. Take away the skirts and he says to
hell with it. And I find us getting enormous amounts of
homosexuality, which I see as nature simply supplying a
negative urge which advances our capacity not to make
babies."
Playboy: "Then homosexuality would rank as something
intended by evolution?"
RBF: Yes, to short circuit. Here the good-and-badding
kind of idea has led us completely astray. So many things
that are changing or coming to a stop tend to make people
feel negative, but it is simply nature winding up certain
phases quite rapidly right now."
- Cate Barry Farrel. PLAY BOY Interview, 1972.

RBF DEFINITIONS
Homosexuality:
"...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
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 like 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."

We have in all other living organisms, having really special

unique in that they don't have this built in, that they are in

principles and if they employ the principles they can fly
better than the bird with his wings; they can dive deeper
than the whale which was designed just for that water--who

Q: "What is your conception of mental health?"
RBF: "I start off with my saying that when I feel great
I don't feel anything. I am astonished at how quickly one
forgets it when pain is gone. There is a synergetic whole.
When we say 'I feel great, ' it means you feel nothing and
are absolutely wide open receptively.

"As you know, I make a great differentiation between the
brain and the mind. I see the brain of all creatures as
always coordinating the input from Universe of the physical
senses. The brain then makes a special package and remembers
these special cases. Brains are always dealing in special
cases. Kind is the capability of human creatures--that we
don't know any other creatures to have--to make from time to
time a discovery of relationships existing between special
cases that are not in any one special case considered
separately. This is really almost another statement of
synergy, which is the behavior of wholes unpredicted by
the behavior of parts. Mind can discover what those
synergetic relationships are."

we have the proton and the neutron always and only coexisting
and their masses are different; they are very close--one is
interchangeable with the other, but they are different.
So we
are now dealing in a Universe where there is inherent
complexity. Unity is plural and at minimum two. This has got
to be very relevant to our mental health builders.
"If I want one word describing the experience of life, I use
the word awareness: no otherness, no awareness. One of the
first things a child begins to demonstrate to you is the
discovery of his left hand with his right hand the discovery
of its toe, of its tongue. . .
the discovery of the otherness
within self and the otherness that is the motherness. So I
say mental health would have to relate to the fact that there
is this fundamental compler entarity in Universe.
"Unity is plural and at minimum two. You probably have very
bad health when you try to look out for just me--the single
building block out there. That is where mental health goes
bad, trying somehow to justify this self-survival business.
So we have the individual looking out for self and feeling that
self is Universe.'

the Universe to complement this. This happened to be tuned-in.

very different way of talking about things: not just space,
but actually tuning.

a Universe which is inherently complex. It does have 92
chemical elements, and not just hydrogen. Darwin came along
at the time of Dalton. Dalton was a great physicist. We
thought he was going to be able to make all of the chemical
elements out of hydrogen, so it was logical for Darwin to
think about the building block as a single cell which would get
more complicated gradually, and by mathematical probability
would gradually get us into something as extraordinary as
human beings.

matter. Number one: we have to realize, in trying to answer
that properly, that human beings are probably not on our
little planet just to be amused, or to be pleased or
displeased. We probably have a very important and unique
function in Universe. What is unique about humans in
contradistinction to any other phenomenon we know is their
minds.
"So I would say that a humane city would have to give the
human beings the time and the ease with which really to use
their minds and not just their muscles. I don't think you
could possibly design a humane city if you designed it on
the basis of how are you going to make money out of real
estate. You would quite clearly have to try to accommodate
human beings on our planet who are all becoming very rapidly
world-interested world citizens; and they are going to
continually deploy for various experiences around the world;
and they are going to converge from time to time--converging
as we are here in this city.

people will have life-support buying capability. We will not
waste those extraordinary amounts of gasoline just getting to

the resources of the Earth for invented jobs, for invented

Hunger: Stones Do Not Have Hunger:
"It is said that stones do not have hunger. But stones are
hygroscopic and do successively import and export both water
and energy as heat or radiation. New stones progressively
aggregate and disintegrate. We may say stones have both
syntropically importing 'appetites' and self-scavenging or
self-purging entropic export proclivities.'

RBF DEFINITIONS
Hydraulics:
"With hydraulics you can get up to any kind of compression
strength you want. We have never found any limit because
it's noncompressible. And it's always distributing its loads.
And hydraulic will burst anything. You can put a hydraulic
pump under a great stone church and lift it just like that!
No trouble at all. You lift whole highways with hydraulics.
So we're going to come now with this beautiful high tensile
capability getting up in the millions and we're going to
balance that with hydraulics. You're going to see some
fantastically delicate substance coming. I just want to
introduce you to some of the strategies and evolutionary
things going on when we're going to do more with less."

I get polarized, three-way, independent compression weaving

When i associate tensegrity octahedra with 4-strut

Hyperbolic Paraboloid: Four-frequency:
"A flat four-sided frame (A) can be folded to define a
nonplanar hyperbolic paraboloid (B,C,D,).
"The edges of the four-sided frame are joined with lines
parallel to its edges. This forms the basic grid of the
hyperbolic paraboloid. When the frame is in planar position
(A) all the grid lines are of equal length. As opposite
vertexes of the frame are lifted the grid lines change lengths
at unequal rates. Shown here is a four frequency system
which, when in closed position (E) reveals that there are
two different cross lengths in addition to the length of the
frame edge. Although the lengths shorten as the altitude
increases there are always only two different cross lengths
for a four frequency hyperbolic paraboloid. The moment the
four-sided frame is no longer planar the fact of the two
different axis lengtha is revealed."

Hyphenated Sciences:
"The wholesale exodus of mathematicians from reality with the
usual, notable, and relatively few exceptions, such as Euler,
occurred simply because the mathematicians' inability to cope
epistemologically with the increasing flood of emergent inter-
relatedness of physical reality which imposed many hyphens
between the adjacent sciences-- of physics and biology for inst-
ance as the increasing specializations found themselves
inadvertently overlapping on the joint thresholds of the older
sciences. Leaving the weddings of biochemists, physio-chemists,
astro-physicists, et al., mathematicians plunged into the
ultramorphic abstraction behind a screen of axiomatic inadequacy
whose alleged 'obvio@sity of unprovable first truths' were, to
be neither true nor obvious. With each advance of the physical
sciences the mathematical axioms were ever less apt, even as
tentative hypotheses. There was nothing wrong with the
mathematicians' play once they had adopted the axiomatic rules
of their game.' "
