REF DEFINITIONS
Ice:
"Children can learn from their remembered observation of the
rotational progression of angles that the hour and minute hands
of a clock have moved; that the tree and the vine have grown;
and that the pond's top has frozen into ice that surprisingly
floats--whereas getting colder means getting denser and
heavier per given volume, which would suggest that ice should
sink to the pond's bottom.
"But the crystallization of water forms a 'space frame' whose
members do not fill allspace, and whose vacated space embraces
and incorporates oxygen from the atmosphere--which makes ice
lighter than water. The crystallization of water takes up more
room than does the water in its liquid nonform condition.
Crystallization is structurally and vectorially linear; it is
not all space-filling. Crystalline structurings are interspers-
ed by additional atmospheric molecules occupying more volume
(ergo having less mass); the process of crystallization
cracks open its closed containers. If ice did not float, if
ice sank to the bottom, life would have long since disappeared
from Planet Earth."

RBF DEFINITIONS
Iceberg: Rate of Melting:
"The energy conservation of a closed local system improves
twofold each time the system's linear dimensions are
doubled. This principle is demonstrated in stars and in
icebergs. Icebergs can melt only as fast as they can
import heat from their surrounding environment of air and
ocean through the surface of the iceberg. The larger the
iceberg, the lower the ratio of surface area to its volume
or mass. However, as icebergs melt, their mass gets
smaller at a mathematical velocity of the third power while
their surface area decreases only at a velocity of the
second power. This is to say the volume decreases much
more rapidly than does the surface area, so, as icebergs
get smaller the amount of surface area for each unit of
volume of its interior mass increases at an accelerating
rate.
"Therefore, icebergs melt faster and faster and when the
final piece of ice dwindles to pea size it can be seen
by the human eye to accelerate to extinction. Due to the
principle of energy conservation improvement with size,
the larger the domed-over city, the more stable its
atmospheric conditions become and at ever-decreasing cost per
unit of volume.'

is possible to strecth the rubber band and pull the center

Icosahedron: Circumferential Closest Packing:

closest packing of omni-intertriangulated uniradius
spheres can increase its frequency only as a shell and not

"If the icosahedron develops a furbher outward shell it will
have to discard its internal shell because the central angles
of the icosahedron will not allow of two or more closest-
packed omnitriangulated concentric shells to be constructed.
Only one closest packed shell is permitted. Considered
internally, the icosahedron cannot accommodate even one
uniradius, tangentially contiguous interior or nuclear
sphere of equal radius to those of its closest packed

Contraction from Single and Outside Layer of E:
"There is something to warn you about. If I made the
five layers of the vector equilibrium, you could not have
the condition I have spoken about of becoming icosahedron.
You could not have two adjacent layers of vector equilibriums
and then have them collapse and become the icosahedron.
I could take any single layer of the vector equilibrium
and if there is nothing insideat to push it outwardly, it
will collapse into becoming the
icosahedron. But
if there are two layers, one insidethe other, the radius
contracts when that occurs, and these two layers will not
roll on each other. The gears block each other.
So you
can only have this contraction in the vector equilibrium
in a single layer and it has to be the outside layer remote
from other layers.
"For this reason we begin to be suspicious about the
icosahedron's condition of 18.63 and its relation to the
electron- we begin to be suspiciois thatwe have the
electron kind of shells going in the icosahedron, which
are remote from the nucleus group and are therefore not
frustrated from contracting in that condition."

The octahedron has a volume of four, the cube has a volume
of three, and the vector equilibrium has a volume of 20.
But the icosahedron has a strange number: 18.51. This is
a very interesting number because the ratio of the mass of
an electron to its neutron is 1:18.185. It's the same fraction.
But when you compound that 18.51 with the volume of what we
call a vector-edged cube, which has a volume of 8.49, the
two together give you a whole number 27, which is a
second-power number and seems very interesting. So the
whole thing comes out rational by combining two fractions
and makes the effect sum totally rational."

"Ignorance hither-and-yons impulsively until brought up short

It is slowly becoming evidenced that, though man had been
ignorant of the factors governing his successful survival
as a species, the reciprocal positive functions governing
the periodic alternations which net a successfully steered
course may be adduced, only, however, by proper documentation
and realistic inversion of the negative evaluations and
predilections of ignorance.
"Vanity and superstition constitute the plus and minus
springs of ignorance, the expansive and contractive 'raison

may be maintained spontaneously only when there is no
obviously periodic contradiction in physical experience.

Ignorance:

"Abandoning vain boast, the competent but fog-shrouded
navigator learned by experience to blow his horn to generate
echoes from unseen headlands and thus to position himself

diminishing negative residue, the obscuring mist of the
receding mental wilderness progressively dissipated by
intellect, the inherent positive of Universe that may by
inference of the record turn every adversity to ultimate
advantage. ..
"Ignorance may only be dissipated as intellect traits by
physical initiative in design realizations of anticipated
periodic functions, designed to disclose coincidence with
the periodic contradictions forcefully experienced, and
thus potentially further revealing in principle. Thus, the
designed experiment is resolvable, eventually, into general
behavior laws of the energetic Universe, whose interactions
in turn become subject to increasingly reliable predictions
by man."

Imaginary Number:
•
In the fundamental accounting of energy behaviors,
fourth and fifth power relationships occur. The scientists
found that they could accommodate the fourth and fifth
powering by use of non-modelable, complex number calculations
by involving the square root of minus one. In effect this
calculation of imaginary number is accomplished by borrowing
'hour' from 'tomorrow's clock' to solve the problem after which

long before he discoveres that someboday has already arranged

And he's just

Implosion-Explosion:
"The vector equilibrium is of the greatest importance
to all of us because all the nuclear tendencies to implosion
and explosion are reversible and always in exact balance.
The radials and the circumferentials are in balance. But the
important thing is that the radials which, if they are outwardly
pushing, would tend to explode are always frustrated by the
tensile finiteness of the circumferential vectors which close
together in an orderly manner to cohere the disorderly
sundering.
When the radial vectors are tensilely contractive
and separately implosive, they are always prevented from
doing so by the finitely closing pushers or compressors of
the circumferential set of vectors."

We had disconnected the icebox and put the furniture in the

Anne and I were due back from Kew Orleans, Shoji plugged the old
GE- with the coils on the top- back in, and left.
The next day
we were stopped by a Louisiana trooper as Bill Parkhurst had
called the police to get word to us that our apartment had had
a big fire. The icebox caught on fire and fell into the
apartment below; the rest of the apartment was in fair shape
with smoke damage to my papers, but the insurance company granted
a total loss. The people down stairs always complained anyway
and banged on the ceiling whenever I worked late.
"onths later I was visiting Allegra in Los Angeles and went to
Bullock's to get her a nice watch for christmas. I told the
sales clerk-- a very nice little lady-- to call the floor manager
to approve my check. She said she could approve the check, but
I answered that she didn't understand; this check was from out

Which direction is up? Which is down? Are people in China

centers of systems of local events of Universe only. 'In' is
unique to individual systems. One 'out' is common to all
systems and is omnidirectional in respect to any one system

"We may define the indiviudal as one way the game of Universe
could have eventuated to date. Universe is the omnidirectional,
omnifrequency game of chess in which with each turn of the play
there are 12 vectorial degrees of freedom: six positive and
six negative. This is a phenomenon of frequencies and periodi-
cities.
Each individual is a complete game of Universe from beginning
to end. This is why each of us individuals are so much alike
and yet completely different, a unique and individual way of
playing the game with eahh of the omnidirectional degrees of
freedom. With the six positive and the six negative omnidirec-
tional degrees-of-freedom moves to be made at each turn of the
play the individual can move to any cosmic point that is not
occupied and he can move back over the same points or move on
to new ones.

Americans. They started bight in with the aluminum spitfire
level. And China comes into industrialization starting
right in without even having propeller airplanes.
England 200 years to do was matched by the United States
in 100 years, simply because we started in with the know-
ledge and the principles and a fresh start, whereas they had
to keep adjusting the old machinery to keep it running.
So the new fellow comes in at a great advantage. Russia
industrialized in 50 years and it's very probably that China
is going to industrialize in the extraordinary period of
25 years. This is what's going to really surprise the whole
world. Somekkere around 1975-- as short as that-- China's
going to be almost approaching affluence.

to which the sphere was tangent were for an infinitesimal
moment congruent at the point of tangency. A sphere as
defined by the Greeks, and as always been accepted
by the calculus mathematicians,--had 360 degrees around every
point. But we discover that all systems are polyhedra
and there is just one tetrahedron less than all the
vertexial points times 360 degrees. This is an important
difference. The difference between what we will call
infinity and coming back to close upon itself locally
as a system to subdivide the universe into insideness
and outsideness always requirs "taking out" one tetra-
hedron, or 720 degrees from somewhere around
vertexes of the system.

Infinity & Finity:
(1)
"Compressions are always local and they are always tending
toward dichotomy, breaking into two radii. We find that
wheras in our old way of thinking, infinity was N + 1... We
tried to get a static picture of a sphere but we couldn't
quite understand one more layer beyond it and what was beyond
that in order for it to be something. In the nosimultaneous
picture there is no simultaneous one frame.' We are not faced
with that at all. We find that the very large patterns are
quite clearly finite. We get to the finite physical Universe
of the physicist%; of the finite Universe that I gave you in
a description of 'nonsimultaneous' and we get then to the
local compressionals and we find that the local is continually
subdivisable. We start with a whole which was finite and then
began to subdivide it and the more local it is the more we
can subdivide it so there is in a sense an infinity of further
dichotomies and subdivisions locally. This is very much like
the intellectual pattern goes... so that the only thing you
might call infinity here is the further subdivision of finity.
"So it is really never infinite because you are not looking
at one part. It is never just Plus One; it is always plus
the rest of the Universe when you separate that One out."

Initiative:
"I was invited by the government of Cuba to come to the world
design congress there as their guest of honor just after Kennedy
had come in. I'd gotten to know McGeorge Bundy at Harvard
where he'd asked me to take over the Charles Elliot Norton
lectureship. So I went to him and said I've got a world
initiative here and I want to take it to Cuba.
"And I told him it was my understanding of the philosophical
basis of democracy that when the individual takes the initiative
the government is supposed to back him, in distintion to the
socialist way where the government takes the initiative and
the individual
has to follow. And I told him I expected the
government to back me and to do so publicly and in a very big
way. Bundy was very perplexed and asked me not to do it, and
the reason was that the Republicans were planning to use Cuba in
the next election...
"And we were told by those who attended that the world architects
were very impressed by Castro because he'd said that architects
worked transcendentally to world politics."

"Newton said that time was a very specific phenomenon, assuming
that there was a specific and finite time that permeated
Universe and that everything observable in Universe was occur-

might be relative to the individual observer. A majority of
acadamic people and the vast majority of nonscientists are
still thinking in terms of the classical Newtonian scientific
conceptioning of 'instant Universe. While light's speed of
approximately 700 million miles per hour is very fast in
relation to automobiles, it is very slow in relation to the
'no time at all' of society's obsolete instant-Universe thinking.

Universe that Universe is a system in which all parts affect

Integration:
"The other-- diametric-- function of the computer is integration.
And the probability is that the computer and its subsidiary
automation will not make man obsolete as an integrator for
several million years-- possibly never. We introduce great
complexities into integration, many variables, and the inter-
relationships of which we wish to comprehend, 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 that we have asked ourselves. Futhermore 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 of cumulative
instructions for relaying our various question-askings and
constant answer-relationships.

different rope experiences this audience has had, I would say
each one of you must have experienced at least one hundred
kinds of rope, so that the total rope experiences is perhaps
ten thousand kinds, and we've gotten that down to only one
piece of rope. Then we took all the Myriad kinds of experience
with concaves and convexes and with protons and neutrons; we
got that down into the theory of functions, and then we embraced
that even further, getting just the word 'relativity.' And
finally we got this word 'Universe.' What we have here is a
pyramid of all the special cases working up to generalizations,
and generalizations to one word. That's as orderly as you can
get.
"We were looking for a phase of Universe where things are con-
tracting and increasingly orderly. Nothing could be more
orderly than those generalizations. We find, then, the meta-
physical balancing the physical-- metaphysical apprehending and

existence of a metaphysical universal intellection that is as
relatively greater and effective in respect to the metaphysical
intellect of man as is the physical Universe bigger than the
almost negligible physical man: an intellection which alone
amongst all phenomena is infinitely perfect and towards which
ever-less-imperfect truth omnidirectionally and refiningly leads.
"Metaphysical intellect took the measure of physical Universe:

reflection, which results from a relatively direct impact and
a rebound at an acute angle. The fourth, which is refraction,
results from a glancing impact and an obtuse angle of deflection.
The fifth is a smash-up, which results in several parts of one

a plurality of angular directions (as in an explosion). The
sixth is a going-the-same-way, 'critical proximity,' attraction
link-up such as that established between the coordinated

"Two different energy events cannot pass through the same point
at the same time. When one energy event is passing through
a given point and another impinges upon it there is an inter-
ference.
"There is a unique and limited set of angle and magnitude
consequences of interfering events. These resultants may always
be depicted as vectors.
"When there is an interference of two similar magnitude energy
events, there is a co-equal pattern of interference resultants,
as when two knitting needles slide tangentially by one another.
When one converging body of an interfering pair is much larger
than the other, the little one 'seems' to do all the resultant
moving as viewed by an observer small enough to see the amall
converger's motion-- as for instance human beings see a tennis
ball hit the big ball Earth and see only the tennis ball bounce
away, The Earth being too big to be seen as a ball by the
viewer and the relative bounce-off deflection of the Earth's
orbit from the tennis ball point of impact, being too small for
detection."

through the same point at the same time. It seems this
could apply directly to life, that we all have been assuming
that everyone is going to interfere with everybody else,
that everyone is trying to occupy the same points and the
lives are these vectors. We thought of ourselves in
opposition to everyone else and we really do discover that
it is fundamental. If it is absolutely fundamental mathema-
tically, then we have the basis for developing a very
powerful philosophic contentment that we are not going to
be in interference with one another. People must have known
that they don't go through the same point. They get into
the critical proximities of the individuals and that is
fascinating, but you don't go through the same point.
You
are not interference. There are large numbers of the pragmatists
who are convinced that you or me are both trying to

Interference: You Really Can't Get There From Here:
"Omnitopology recognizes the experimentally demonstrable fact
that two energy-event traceries (lines) cannot pass through
the same point at the same time. It follows that no event
vectors of Universe ever pass through any of the same points
at the same time. Wherefore, it is also operationally
evidenced that the conceptual-system geometries of omnitopo-
logy are defined only by the system withinness and withoutness
differentiating a plurality of loci occurring approximately
midway between the most intimate proximity moments of the
respectively convergent-divergent wavilinear vectors, orbits,
and spin equators of the system.
"The best you can do is to get almost there; this is evidenced
by physical discontinuity. Zeno's paradox thus loses its
paradoxical aspects.
"In omnitopology, a vertex (point) is the only-approximate,
amorphous, omnidirectional region occurring mid-spatially
between the most intimate proximity attained between two
almost-but-never-quite, yet critically intertransformatively,
interfering vectors."

Internal Control of Distortion:
"It is also this method of uniformly progressive concentric
correction by subsidence from spherical segment to plane
geometry which provides the unique characteristic of this
method of projection which distinguishes it from all other
methods. This unique characteristic referred to is that the
projected diagram retains true measurement, shape, direction,
and distance throughout all of the enclosing boundaries of
the segments with mathematically controlled distortion
'massaged' to the center of the projection areas. All other
projections are true in measure, shaping, and direction only
at an interior point or along one side or along one or several
separated lines or arcs crossing the projection with progress-
ive distortion articulated outwards toward one or more of
the enclosing edges of the projected diagram. In other words,
my new projection is uniformly corrected by internalization
while all other projections are corrected by some systematic
externalization of error. This allows of true external assoc-
iation of my projection units, which is impossible in all
other methods demonstrated to date."

"Every vector (line) leads from one nuclear
center to another, and therefore represents the
operational effect of a merging of two force centers
upon each other. Each vector (line) is composed of
two halves, each half belonging respectively to the
two nuclear centers and each half of the line
representing those unique radii of each tangent
spheres which alone are perpendicular to the
identical point of tangency and therefore constitute
a continuous straight line:-- wherefore it is

Interrelationship Twoness: Third Kind of Twoness:
"All systems have a neutral axis of spinnability with two
external polar vertexes and two interior center axis vertexes
which are congruent: ergo visible only as one vertex located
at the convergence-divergence, integrative-disintegrative,
inbound-outbound turnaround, neutral, center of gravity-
center of radiation of the system.
"The exterior and separate set of two polar vertexes are the
additive twoness of systems and the congruent exterior-interior
set are the multiplicative twoness of all systems and the
interior-exterior differentiating fourness has an interrelated
sixness, which differentiates as a unique third kind of twoness

"The metaphysical may tell me to turn 90 degrees and look over

All
of our charts have their base line at 90 degrees, but now our
acceleration factors are becoming so high that the
curves are approaching verticality-- the Einsteinian normal of
radiation, tying things up in local knots; constant motion and
intertransformation; change is normal. Newton said that rest
is the norm because they weren't thinking bigger than the world,
which was standing still at the time. They were thinking of
the world, not the Universe. Death was the norm: standing still.

How would the happen to make the discovery? What they found

Intuition:
"A half a century, even a quarter of a century ago
intuition was almost a naughty word in the world of academic
science, in fact in the whole world of philosophers.
Pragmatism of the highest kind came in with the
great Depression. Some of the validity of the out-and-out
Marxian prematism was very convincing to many thinkers
in the depths of the Depression. Many of these thinkers
thought of intuition as pure romanticism and the antithesis
of pragmatism. Therefore the idea that one could get any
value out of intuitions was considered as nonsensical as
the idea of getting anything of value out of superstitions."

a twilight where there are drives and capabilities, where the
genius that is in us makes us look in a direction intuitively.
But it's often being diverted by something else. There is the
grownup who says, 'Darling, don't look in that direction, look
this way.' And the child misses something extremely important
that is there.

goes on to apply the principles. This is where I find the

made those discoveries or knew they were going to make them.
Northrop was interested in finding some commonality

"I saw 'Intuition's' hull form when she was being developed in
Florida. A lifelong experience with boats-- my intuition--
lashed that she would be not only swift but a fine sea boat--
the finest I had ever seen thus far. This intuition has proven
to be correct. She surfs with the best but has much better
rudder control off wind than have those with skeg and spade
rudders separated from their keels. She was a stock hull, yet
only a few were molded to her class. I have consistently

are inherently individual functions of the minds of individual
humans. Corporations are legal fabrications%; they cannot
invent and discover. Patents were originally conceived of as
grants to inventors to help them recover the expenses of the
long development of their discoveries; and they gave the
inventor only a very short time to recover the expense.
"Because I am concerned with finding new technical ways of
doing more with less, by which increasing numbers of humanity
can emerge from abject poverty into states of physical
advantage in respect to their environment, I have taken out
many patent claims-- first, to hold the credit of initiative
for the inspiration received by humanity's needs and the theory
of their best solution being that of the design revolution and
not political revolution, and second, to try to recover the
expense of development. But most importantly, I have taken the
patents to avoid being stopped by others-- in particular,

"I began the search for what I called energetic geometry in
1917 and the octet truss, or vector equilibrium, was first
assumed as probable and then glimpse-discovered as possible
some time in the 20's and proven in the 30's. . . .
(A)
"My own discovery of the octet truss was synergetic, intuitively
avoiding special-case tactics. 'Synergey' is defined as follows:
behavior of wholes unpredicted by behavior of parts.
I was
seeking in the whole of experience and knowledge for a compre-
hensive mathematical scheme of patterning. The octet truss was
incidental to larger discovery.
"Energetic and synergetic geometry prove octet truss to be a
coordinate and comprehensive vectorial system rational to all
chemical, biological, and electrophysical behaviors of nature.
Ergo, energetic and synergetic geometry's isotropic vector
matrix is nature's comprehensive coordinate system.
"Any invention within this major coordination of principles
must center on demonstration of unique means of gaining advantage
through employment of this geometry. The behavior of wholes
unpredicted by the behavior of parts is inherently surprising."

"Architecture in the past often has been spoken of as 'frozen
music.' Now the architectural music is being unfrozen and is
ultimately to be freed from its embodiment exclusively within
the physical structure. The music of the emerging architecture
is to be entirely weightless, abstract. It will be the sense
of gratification and inspiration of living freedom and potential
initiatives of the human occupants disembarrassed of their
slavery to the production and maintenance of the buildings and
emancipated from exploitation of land, buildings, and
occupants as money makers. The architectural music will be the
metaphysical regeneration of the spirit to be experienced by the
buildings' users.

to the surface of the fortress in order, for instance, to dismay
any potential enemies traveling near the castle. The architect
designed emblazements which indicated the master of the castle
to be so ferocious a fighter as to be best represented by a
red and gold tiger, or a dragon on a black foreboding field.
This psychology worked two ways for it also bolstered the
master's courage and confidence to act, indeed, as a tiger.
This architect had to overwhelm all strangers as well as the
overlord's subjects with the power and the glory of his client.
Additionally the architect often had to accomplish the impression
that the powerful master of the castle was also a man of
intellectual and aesthetic distinction. The architect accomplish-
ed these psychological effects by skilfull coordination of
mass, height, line, and integral symbology. In a like manner
architects designed temples, cathedrals, and other buildings
as permanent symbolic communication devices. With the advent
of the music box, and later the automatic piano playing

angle can only be considered as potentially realizable by a
third and invisible vector which invisibly holds the outer enda
of the angle-describing convergent vectors apart. This is
metaphysics and not magic. The physicist says that all the
physical Universe is energy-- energy associative as matter and
energy disassociative as radiation, both interconvertible to
the other. The physicist says that the physical will always
move a levered needle-- either by gravity or electromagnetism.

provides the actual and only systematic scheme of refrence

All the isotropic vector matrix identifications of experience
are expressible in terms of angle and frequency. The angles
are independent of size and absolutely generalized. The
frequencies are all special-case, time-space-limited

matrix. Energy is not lost; just not available. At the
heart of the vector equilibrium is the ball in the center
of the rhombic dodecahedron at the core-- the one sphere
all by itself. You put 12 rhombic dodecahedra around one
central rhombic dodecahedrew and you get the vector
equilibrium. This is why synergetics can investigate
nuclear symmetries: it all comes out absoltely discretely.
And it does have both the A and B Quanta Modules in it.
Look at the picture [ MARKS, p. 167 Pl. L.87 which shows
the one-half of the rhombic dodecahedron. Of all the
polyhedra nothing really falls into a group so easily as
the rhombic dodecahedron, the most common polyhedron in

equilibrium. As the asymmetric kinetics of energy-as-heat
are removed, the whole field of vectors approach identical
length and identical angular interaction. That is to say
that they approach the model of closest packed spherical
energy fields. The lines interconnecting the adjacent
spheres' centers constitute a vectorial matrix in which
all the lines and angles are identical, which is spoken of
by the mathematical physicists as the isotropic vector

Each vector is composed of two halves, each half belonging.
respectively to any two adjacent nuclear centers. Each half
of the line represents those unique radii of each of the
tangent spheres which alone are perpendicular to the
identical point of tangency and therefore they operate as
one continuous vector.
