RBF DEFINITIONS
Machines:
"The three perpendicular bisectors of an equilateral
triangle cross each other at the triangle's center of
gravity, dividing the total triangle into six right
triangles, of which three are positive and three are
negative. So there are six fundamentals of the triangle
which makes possible dynamic symmetry. . . Each corner
is balanced by its positive and negative-- like a street
corner. This is called dynamic balance. Literally all
machinery is dynamically balanced in this manner.

"The Madison Avenue of the Gay 90's meant the area between
madison Square and 42nd Street, dominated by the J.P. Morgan
residence at 38th and Madison. Madison Avenue of the first
half of the 20th century referred to the shopping section
from 42nd Street to 72nd Street, dominated at its base by
Brooks Brothers, the Biltmore Hotel, and the Roosevelt Hotel.
So attractive did the Madison Avenue vantage appear to so
many corporate newcomers that they, in effect, have pulled
down all the old buildings and thus terminated all the old
enterprises that constituted Madison Avenue. They have
built a new canyon in the Universe whose preoccupation with
the abstract function of shaping men's conditioned reflexes,
through advertising, has caused the words 'Madison Avenue'
to hold an entirely new meaning--having nothing to do with
a physical avenue itself, but with their 'corporate image' --
the collective archpropagandist, proselytizer, inducer, and

include every size of particle, as their hour-glass-like
tangentially linked inwardness, displays both inwardly and
outwardly mingled sets of fountain and reverse fountain
flows concurrently at both ends-- and through the middle.
Periodically, the whole double-bulbed dynamic flux contracts
axially, as the two bulbs of dynamic flow merge progressively,
and then merge completely, and again separate axially.
It
is obvious that inasmuch as the whole system was always in
flow, that the new bulbs of flux are of necessity new and
are therefore only identifiable in principle with the
previous comprehensive duality of shapes. The system has

fundamental structure, be some kind of complementarity to this

this disorderly way, it of course takes up more room. There-

there must be some phase of the Universe where the phenomena are
contracting and becoming increasingly orderly. And if we look
for that, we shall see that all the stars which are observable
are light objects, and therefore they represent that energy
being given off in a diffuse and disorderly way. And we look
for some black body where energy may be collected. We only
find one that we know anything about and that's our spaceship,
Earth. Our spaceship Earth we discovered in the Geophysical

beautiful orderly structures. And amongst all the biologicals

Man As An Invention:
"The invention of an utterly ignorant
Helpless, naked, multibillion-part,
Energy importing, processing, and exporting,
Self-building and regulating organism
Consisting primarily of water
And operating at a constant temperature of 98.6 Fahrenheit
Requires also the co-invention by Universe
Of complementary environmental conditions
Which operate spontaneously
To look out for the helpless organism
In the most exquisitely detailed electrochemical manner.
Human mothers do not know how to invent their milk-giving breasts,
Nor the air which the child must breathe.
These environmental support features
Are predesignedly provided."

Man as an Invention:
"Man was invented a mobile device and process. He has survived
through his ability to advance or retreat as his mortal require-
ments have dictated. Of his two primary faculties, quickness
is of great importance but intellect is first.
"He recognizes that vital quickness may be momentary reflex, but
that satisfactory continuities are proportional to his degree
of comprehension of the consequences of his initiative. Degree
of comprehension he measures in terms of the
complex integration of all individuals' all-time
experience, as processed by intellectual integrity. His
quickness would be a spontaneous servant to that integrity."

Man as Local Problem Solver:
(1)
"The one common experience of all humanity is the challenge
of problems. Problems are metaphysical entropy. Humans are
here to function
syntropically as solvers of problems as
guided by mind-discovered cosmic principles. No other known
creature of Universe has this recourse to the eternal weightless
verities than which there is nasught more powerful in problem
solving. Eternally regenerative complex Universe with its
vast variety of locally unique phenomena involves complex
local problems which can only be solved metaphysically by the
principles discoverable only by the human mind. Here is
humanity's function in Universe.
"None of the inventory of generalized cosmic principles is
contradictory to one another. They are all interaccommodative.
Some of them interaccommodate others synergetically with
exponential rates of relative vantage gain. Altogther the
known inventory of genralized principles discloses a priori,
abstract, eternal integrity of cosmic design. The cosmic
integrity inadvertently discovered through my 1927 commit-
ment to comprehensive responsibility of the designer, thus led
to design integrities which conserve and abet the regeneration"

ropes of manila, cotton, nylon, etc., may be progressively
slipped through all the material changes of thickness and

configuration, so man is an abstract pattern integrity
which is sustained through all the physical changes and

RBF DEFINITIONS
Marx, Karl:
"Karl Marx assumed the scientific validity of both Malthus
and Darwin with their combined 'fundamental
inadequacy of
popular life support' and 'survival only
of the fittest.'
He
assumed that the working masses were
the fittest because,
though dumb, they instinctively understood
how to cultivate
agriculture, husband animals,
and work the craft tools.
Wherefore the great pirates,
the nobility, and the
bourgeoisie
who serviced the nobility, were parasites
and must perish.
Marx also assumed that the genetic
difference between the
nobility and the masses was valid; ergo
his fundamental
class warfare inherent in the economic
inadequacy to
support
both. He also assumed the necessity of
downgrading standards
in order to stretch support systems to serve
all; and he
assumed minority-party rule by dogmatic
adherence to
nonindivid-
ualistic code, and annihilation
of the treacherous other class.

Marx: Karl Marx:
"Marx, as a philosopher-scientist (in the first place a
scientist is a man of very great integrity) did his thinking
at the time when the leading physicist was Dalton. Dalton
was then at the mental stage of the interpretation of the
experimental phenomena where he thought they really had
found the smallest thing, the atom. there was no nucleus,
just atoms. They were not broken up into protons or anything
else. It was just atoms and they thought they actually had
found what Democritus had talked about. It was invisible,
below sight, but there it was. Marx then as a philosopher
of the highest integrity dealing with the latest information
of the physicists, was convinced that there really was a
hard core thing. He was convinced that the strong armed
man was always going to get ahold of the hard things and
that the people were going to suffer. There was no question
about his conviction. 1 am convinced that if Marx were alive
today he would be excited about the discovery that there is
no smallest thing. There is nothing that the tough man can
get ahold of."

fact that the only way you could get on here would be to

Mass Attraction:
"Nothing could be more fundamental to all of science than
the phenomenon 'mass attraction,' which Newton was able to
formalize. For instance we hang two masses or spheres from
the ceiling and measure the distance between the centers of
gravity of the spheres. . We find that they are closer
together not only from the points where they were hung,
which could be accounted for just by the fact that we are
on a sphere and the radii of a sphere are divergent, but they
are closer than that. If you move one of them halfway
toward the other and measure the distance between the centers
of gravity, you will find that it has moved in much closer.
If you keep moving in progressively, halving the distances,
you discover as Newton did, that the relative attraction is
in terms of the cesond power of the relative proximity.
When you halve the distance between the two spheres you do
not double the attraction; you for fold it. So as you get
in very close, as atoms are close to one another, you begin
to have things with very extraordinary kinds of coherences.

Nast in the Earth:
"Man has tended to think of structure as being built solid
in the Earth. He made a hole in the solid Earth and put a
solid mast in it. In order to keep the wind from getting
hold of the top of the mast and breaking it, he then put a
tension member in the direction of the various winds, acting
at the end of the lever to keep it from being pulled over.
In this way tension became the helper. We found that he built
what he thought was a solid boat, and then put in a solid
mast, and then added on tension helpers as shrouds. Tension
has been secondary in all man's building and compression
has been primary for he has always thought of the compression
as solid. Man must now break out of that habit and learn to
play at nature's game where tension is primary and where
tension explains the coherence of the whole. Compression
is convenient, yes, very convenient, but always secondary

RBF DEFINITIONS
Matter:
"When the end of one energy action comes over the middle of
another energy vector there is a precessional effect, a
tensional effect. One energy event gets angularly precessed
and the next energy event goes by the center of another mass
and each one of them are interaffecting the other. It is
a basketry interweaving where each one precesses the other
angularly so that they hold together very much as a cotton
ball. This is just what Einstein was working on in his
E = MC² trying to explain a given mass and the way it
inteffered with itself to give itself this local uniqueness
of relative concentration, because these precessions can give
you angular changes and it gets tighter and tighter which
will give you unique frequencies and every one of our chemical
elements has these unique frequencies and you can actually
pick them out on the electromagnetic spectrum by a plurality
of
usually four unique frequencies characterizing each
of the elements."

the early Doxidis cruises-- 'I am your disciple."
He held up
copies of 'No More Secondhand God' and 'Nine Chains to the
Moon' and said to me: 'I've joined your conspiracy!!"
"McLuhan has never made any bones about his indebtedness to me
as the original source of most of his ideas. The Global
Village indeed was my concept. I don't think he has an
original idea. Not one. McLuhan says so himself. He's really
a very great enthusiast, a marvelous popularizer and teacher.
He has an irrepressible sense of the histrionic, like no one
I've known other than Frank Lloyd Wright.
"My idea of 'Man backing up into his future,' appears in his
books as 'Rear-Mirrorism."
"My concept of the 'Mechanical extensions of man' is the basis
for his talk of the 'Electrical Extensions' of man.

would dance with his wife all over the place, so much so that he
took up the whole dance floor. He thought we had all stopped
to marvel at his and his wife's performance, but that wasn't it;
the way he was dancing there wasn't room for the rest of us and
we had to leave the floor.
"And I remember one time on a live television panel at a
P.E.N. meeting in Canada when McLuhan's critics were really
giving McLuhan a pretty rough time. He relished in it and
would infuriate the critics by completely ignoring their most
telling attacks. I started taking up for him and coming to
his support, but I abandoned this as soon as I realized that
it was just all a big game to him.

"In a sense, my glasses-- I'm very farsighted and have been

Dartmouth College, in what they call Dartmouth Hall. Seven-
teen years later, in 1947, I was asked to speak at Dartmouth
again and again spoke in Dartmouth Hall. After being
introduced as having been there 17 years before, I stood up
and said that while I didn't like to be contradictory,
actually I hadn't been there before. My host looked a little
surprised, and I pointed out that in the interim Dartmouth
Hall had burned down and they had rebuilt it. Moreover, in
that 17 years, all my flesh had completely changed-- there
was none of the 1930 flesh left. In fact, the only important
physical evidence that 'I' had been there 17 years before
were my eyeglasses: they were the same ones as before.
nothing else about me was the same. Quite interesting to
discover that part of the function 'me' was really more
permanent than, yet not of, my integral flesh."

"By World, iar II we had come to almost two million chemical
compounds Now the human mind can only reaain a certain number
of items within a given pattern. At least that is my
conclusion. I would say I can remember
approximately 5,000
names of people but these are all special cases and there is
nothing logical about it. There are limited sizes of
vocabularies, for instance, I can remeber the name of almost
every man of the first ship I was on. I don't see any of
these men ever any more and I don't really need to remember
the names as they are of no use to me. But I meet many
people every day and I can't remember their names because
the cubby holes are all filled up with those earler names.
They don't come around to get their mail and I can't put
anyone else in their rooms. So if you were to just try to
remember all the chemical compounds, you coudln't remember
them all and you would be in desperate trouble when you are
not able to remember more than 5,000.
The kinds of
questions I used to hear asked a few years ago on the radio
quizzes seemd to me to be the kinds of questions you could
not afford to be bothered with. What I saw that you could do
was go in the direction of what we call generalization."

Meshing & Nonmeshing:
"All physical systems are always losing energy.
Man has
called this entropy; though the individual system itself
may be very orderly, the timings of different energies
leaving different systems may not necessarily mesh with
the timings of energies leaving other systems which may
also be orderly in themselves. The reason that they don't
mesh is that they are coming from different complexes of
chemical elements. Since every element has its unique
frequencies, we have gears that cannot interlock and must
consequently remain tangent to one another. Hence they
take up more room than they would if they had meshed.
However, if we were able to observe for long enough, we
would find that some of thosegears would eventually fit
together. But it might be a thousand years or twenty-
eight and a half years or seventeen seconds. The important
thing to note is that there is a great period of non-
meshing and that makes the physical appear to take up
more room.

develop all its experience of generalized principles like the
lever to achieve the independence of mind over muscle. When
the child in the womb leaves off the umbilical cord it means
the completion of the development of his physical independence.
But as long as the parents did the metaphysical life support

has made possible the automobile, the railroad, the
airplane, telephone, telegraph, wireless, the clothes on
our back and all our food, and our city skyscraper.
Generally and structurally speaking, we use it in our

characteristic of the new tool, metal, different from any
of the tools of other ages, is its fibre or tensile
strength, tremendously in excess of any other tensile
unit ever created. For example a small wire rope may be

does not exceed stone to any marked degree. That is why

"Now suddenly we learn that there are other kinds of resources
in this vegetation impoundment. There was some metal; and we
learn that through the weapons and through the tools. And then
there got to be something made of tools, which was the production,
which is a very different thing that we call industry today.
And then came realization that there was tin in the Malay
States. And tin can be flowed very, very thinly on to sheet
steel. And you can use sheet steel very, very thinly, and yet
quite adequately; so tinning of the steel brought about the tin
can: hermetic sealing. For the first time-- you had to be where
the food was or you died because it would rot; and you did learn
grains, and you get into wheats and mealies that could last
some longer and be transported, but all of that's rotted. So
there is something in that can; for the first time you could
send it away. So you didn't really have to be at a place any
more.
"The metals and the new tools brought about an entirely new
relationship-- but these were not planted around the world the
way the vegetation was. There was a very different world pattern,
in fact, as you began to get into them. Just like your telephone"

"For instance, all our metals are constantly being melted up
and recirculated. Out of all the copper mined in all history,
only 14 percent is not at present in an averagely recirculating
22-year cycle of use; and the 14 percent which is not in
present recycling use is now in munitions ships at the bottom
of the ocean. Sixty-five percent of all our steel is now made
out of scrap. That is roughly the ratio of recirculating
metal to new mine production in all of the metals categories.
It is perfectly practical to think about taking the metals
out of obsolete automobiles, taking all the two-ton automo-

"Human experience discloses the eminent feasibility of inbræed-

offspring while diminishing the number of general adaptability
genes within the integral organism. This requires the
complementary external care of the inbred specialist through
invention or employment of extracorporeal environmental
facilities-- biological or nonbiological. It is easy to breed
out metaphysical intellection characteristics, leaving a
residual concentration of purely physical proclivities and
evoluting by further inbreeding from human to monkey.
(Witness the millions of dollars society pays for a 'prizefight'
in which two organisms are each trying to destroy the other's
thinking mechanism. This and other trends disclose that a large
segment of humanity is evoluting toward producing the next
millenia's special breed of monkeys.) There is no experimental

Metaphysical and Physical:
"The human mind goes way beyond the biologicals in its
development of an increasing and diminishing conceptual
Universe. So we find the metaphysical not only balancing
the physical, but also encompassing the physical by one
tetrahedron, and thereafter reducing its myriadness to
unity. The metaphysical, as with the circumferentially
united, great-circle chord vectors of the vector equilibrium,
coheres the physical."

governing both the physical and metaphysical universe

"But in developing their now rigorously accountable discipline
for dealing with all ponderables the physicists said, 'there

The mathematician himself is dealing in unweighable phenomena.
So also do paychologists and other have weightless information
to explore. These men cannot belong to our Physics Club. They
must remain outside our club in the metaphysics world.'
"The word metaphysics was, at that historical moment, somewhat
of an affront for it seemed to imply magic and questionable
concepts. Metaphysics had been connected by literary men with
inexplicables: nonexperimentally demonstrable phenomena. So
there was a great deal of resentment on the part of the no-hard-
science scholars who were excluded from the Physics Club and
were relegated to the Metaphysics Club. However the economists
and most of the other metaphysicists failed to understand the
full signifcance of the new physics and went on thinking in
classic concepts of instant Universe and its seemingly inherent
self-annihilation. They as-yet abhor 'spending' because ignor-

"Mind is the weightless and uniquely human facility

"The thoughts that discover them are weightless and
tentative but may also be eternal. They suggest eternity
but do not prove it even though there have been no

may discover, on the one hand, additional generalized
principles, or, on the other hand, exceptions which

and inside and have no traffic between the two. The Greek
sphere as defined by them constituted the first and nondemon-

holes in it, the Greek sphere would defy entropy. A sphere
with no holes would be a continuum or a solid, which are
physical conditions science has not found. We could dispense

inside would be utterly conserved and eternally adequate to

"Now I would like then, to have a minimum system. ung two,
three points do not give me insideness and outsideness.
Not until I have a fourth point do I have insideness and
outsideness. how we have the minimum system, having four
points and having insideness and outsideness and it's all
interconnected by triangles, so not only is it a minimum
system, but it's structural because it's all triangulated.
Therefore it's a minimum structural system of Universe.
It's very exciting to be able to approach your problems so
as to have no doubt about what it is you're discovering."

Mistake:
"I'm quite content that evolution is full of great wisdom.
Human beings have always been--always will be-- born naked,
absolutely helpless and, as that beautiful cerebral equipment
comes with no experience, therefore ignorant. They've also
been given hunger, thirst, the procreative urge, curiosity.
These have forced them to make trial and error, trial and
error. So the only way humanity has ever got enywhere is by
making mistakes, by learning what is a mistake. The mistake
is the very essence.
"Fathers and mothers have enormous love for their children but,
in fear that their children are not going to be able to make
it, continually say to the child, 'You must not make any mis-
takes.' We've got to the point where the whole society thinks
that to make mistakes is a sign of great weakness. The
greatest mistake that humanity makes is not recognizing that the
only way we get anywhere is by making mistakes. We're given
a left foot and a right foot so that while we make little
mistakes in each stride, between the two we get where we want
to go.
This is the way the Universe operates."

to carry on. It is only at the moment of humans' admission
to selves of having made a mistake that they are closest to
the mysterious integrity governing Universe. It is only when
human beings, listening to their awareness of truth, confront
themselves with self-admission of their mistakes that they are
able to free themselves of the misconceptions that brought
about that mistake, and in those special moments of self-
admission of mistake, with the mistaken conception out of the
way, they often have their most important insights into what
the truth is that had been hidden from them by their persis-
tent retention of the misconception as fostered only by their

"It is interesting in considering the meaning of structure,
to think of the redefinitions emerging annually at the Mass-
achusetts Institute of Technologyin respect to fundamental
phenomena. Every February the Institute exhibits in the main
entry hall on Massachusetts Avenue a collection of self-
definitions by the various academic departments. This is done
so that the prospective students for the coming year (it is
enrollment time at mid-years) may consider what the Institute
has to offer. The Physics Department, the Chemistry Depart-
ment, the Mathematics Department, and so on, all make statements
about their particular concerns. They must say what they have
to offer to the prospective students in a way that is both
comprehensible and of high integrity of scientific meaning.
Casual suggestions of the nature of the work will not suffice.
Thus annually each department has found it necessary to re-
examine its inexorably evoluting disciplines and where appropr-
iate to redefine its subject. Since each year both man's art
and science of communication have impdpved, I have found it
interesting to note how, for instance, the Physics Department
at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology redefines itself
as the years go on."

"There has been such a rapid evolution in the sciences shat
what for instance the Physics Department said it was concerned
with in 1912 was not what it professed in 1922. In 1912 (before
MIT moved to the Charles River in Cambridge) it was concerned
with mechanics in general, optics, and so forth, and a pheno-
menon called electricity was newly included as an appendix.
By 1922 science was overwhelmed with the newly discovered
world of electron behaviors and the Physics Department said
publicly that physics was primarily concerned with electronics.
Physics in 1950 at the same Institute was described as being
concerned almost entirely with the nucleus of the atom.
"The Department of Mathematics at MIT which embraces the
fundamental communications systems of all the sciences, is also
the most generalized of scientific disciplines. The last time
I wrote down its annual statement of self-definition was in
1953. This definition hasn't altered much since then. Mathe-

the sciences, tends to evolve less rapidly than physics or

"The reason physics continually comes to ouarks is that in
the total systemic hierarchy of structuring and multipoly-
hedra-intertransformings there is the phenomenon of allspace-
filling. There are several well-known allspace-fillers such
as the cube, the rhombic dodecahedron, and the tetrakaideca-
hedron. However, the mites consisting of three basic
modules--the two A Cuanta l'odules and one B Quanta Module--
have their counterpart negatives; as the quarks do represent
the minimum allspace-filler of Universe and the A's and B's
do produce in all-rational numbers all of the nucleated
geometries.
"They also have their volumetric counterpart in the nonnucle-
ated icosahedron in the form of the S Quanta Modules--each
of which is 1/120th tetrahedron of which the triacontrahedron
is composed. This makes the S Quanta Modules probable

mathematically operated instruments. For a century scientists

better and more powerful microscopes and telescopes had come

'imaginary number' is accomplished by borrowing an hour from

up back in the mid-19th century, as in th energy output of

make a model of it because models must always be three-dimensional,
that is, they must be defined by their XYZ-axes and be coordinated

"We find you can make one-quarter tetrahedra out of A
particles and you can superimpose them on the octahedron
which has eight faces. (The octahedron we found was made of
A's and B's.) So we can add a little pyramid to each of
the eight faces of the octahedron. Because there are twelve
edges on the octahedron there are twelve diamond faces and
this is called the rhombic dodecahedron. It can be made up
entirely of A's and B's; we find its volume coming out in
whole units of A's and B's and we find that its total volume
is six. The tetrahedron has a volume of one, the cube
three, the octahedron four and the rhombic dodecahedron six.
The rhombic dodecahedron is an all-space filler like the cube.
I have seen quite a few of them being made around the
architectural schools and you will find nature using them
a great deal. If you go out into Colorado and Arizona you
will often find in rocky fielus the rhombic dodecahedra

"Now we come to an interesting consideration of the tetra-
hedron. This problem I am going to show you, I was told by
Dr. Einstein's mathematical assistant from Princeton in about
1947 that this was his mathematical Ph.D. problem that got him
his job with Dr. Einstein. Here is an aluminum tube and another
aluminum tube (See Figure D, of SYNEZETICS Illustration #26..
They are the opposite edges of a tatrahedron. Notice that the
opposite edges of the tetrahedra are at 90 degrees to each
other. They have been precessed to each other. There are six
edges of a tetrahedron and each of them precess to the
opposite at 90 degrees to it." The two discreted edges of the
tetrahedron represented by the two aluminum tubes can move
anywhere along their respective axes. "They will oscillate
on these lines and they will produce all kinds of asymmetrical
tetrahedra, but we find that their volume always remains
unit" by virtue of their constant base area and identical
altitiudes.
"You can see why this is so. The A particle and the B particle
start with the unit base and add unit altitiude, so I have
another unit of altitude and it has the same base, it is just
superimposed on it, and it has the same volume, a volume of one.

SEC 933.01 05

We find these things getting longer and thinner, but their
volumes are always the same: one. Supposing we think about
something like an electric wire and we start with this base,
and we divide this base intothree 120 degree angles with a
circular base. 1 can superimpose these almost iconic sections,
and every time there is a unit of frequency on the line, the
volume will always come out the same as the base volume.
Finally the last ones get to look like they are just as long
as the wire itself, so there is an outside charge on the wire
like fluorescence of a wire is coming off in undi charge and
we begin to see the way an electric ascillation impulse put
into an electric line always seems to come in relative to the
plane to the base and begins to precess of and finally comes
off in unit volumes."

various kinds of patterns coming together in the form of
gearings and literally they are woven together or geared

the sides of a nut. And the nut is a gear. So a monkey
wrench and a nut are a gear relationship.
And a monkey
wrench is very useful on tightening up the nuts on various
machines which are going to reciprocate safely. We all
agree that the expression using a monkey wrench in the
works' could destroy the works, so a monkey wrench could be
very useful to the same machine that it can be lethal to.
It is simply a pattern. If the pattern comes in at the
wrong place it can strip the gears. If it comes in at the
right place it can augment the integrity coherence in the
system, that is the regenerative factors."

Montreal Expo'67 Dome Sequence:
"On May 28, 1967-- three month's before Allegra's birthday--
a set of swift unpredicted events intimate to all this chron-
icling took place.
(1)
"Anne and Bucky went on May 28, via Carbondale, to the official
opening of the World's Fair, Expo'67, at Montreal. Both of them
were overjoyed at the reception of Bucky's geodesic dome
installed at the U.S.A.'s pavillion. The millions who have
already viewed and entered it seemed inspired. They said so
quite freely. Anne and Bucky could hear the public's words as
they walked around in the crowds. It represented a very
extraordinary moment for Anne and Bucky-- this being the year of
their 50th wedding anniversary.
"To Anne the Expo dome seemed to give sublime validation to
the extraordinary backing she has given Bucky.
"When he was a little boy his mother used to tell Bucky about
the Taj Mahal and showed him pictures of it. His mother felt
it to be the most beautiful building in all the world and sensed
that its beauty went beyond its structural and material exquis-"

from the love of its conceiver for his wife.
"Both Anne and Allegra know that in 1927 Bucky had put aside
entirely the idea of trying to use his capabilities to develop
special economic and physical advantage for them and instead
committed himself to the proposition that if those whom he
loved were indeed the kind of human beings he thought them to
be that they would not enjoy finding themselves in a position
of special economic and physical advantage won at the cost of
deprivation of others, and likewise that their true happiness
could only develop through an awareness that their efforts were
always in the direction of progressively increasing advantage
for all humans without any biases whatsoever.

"Because every action has its reaction and resultant; and
because no event in Universe can be independent of the rest
of Universe, Bucky's 1927 commitment in the direction of all
humanity and its present symbolic embodiment in the Expo'67
dome which, though dedicated by Bucky's thought to all humanity,
must have its inadvertently complementary involvement of Anne
and Allegra as well."

intuitively that his salvation and physical success on the
Spaceship Earth is to be gained primarily by such a design
revolution and not by political revolution, I have inadvertently
brought about the production and installation of our own Taj
as pure fallout of my love for you. Anne knew that it was so.
The Expo Taj is powerful and the beauty goes far beyond the sum
of its physical parts.
"Anne and Bucky left the dome and flew from Montreal to New York
City.
Bucky was to leave her with her family on their old home
on Long Island. Un the way from Kennedy Airport to New York
City, the taxi in which they were riding skidded at high speed
in the rain and crashed against a bridge abutment and bounced
across the highway. Neither the taxicab driver nor Bucky were
hurt, but Anne was very greatly damaged.
She had two hemmor-

1967, San Francisco, California:
"Dear Bucky:
'Anne is a woman of considerable strength: she will not leave
you to continue alone.
'I have known a long time that Anne's strength, beauty, and
grace were in your work. It makes sense that this skybreak
bubble should be not a monument, but an embodiment of your love
of her.
Isn't that love a carrier wave that brought her form
and substance, her nature and patterning into and through you
and into your visions and work? Isn't a human being a thin,
sparkling, transparent membrane reaching out and containing for
a time some part of the Universe?
'Human beings are fragile skybreak bubbles, as vulnerable and
quickly gone as a child's soap bubbles in a bath. Yet, without
vulnerability, there is no courage. Without mortality, there
is no
beauty or love, no reason to reach out and touch.

it involved the newest... and was on a world accounting basis
instead of local. And the whole world was suddenly gaining.
Now since as a consequence of that we've gone from less, in
1900. One more very important input, for all of you-- and
this has never been on the books. There's nothing in any book
of economics about-- not even a sentence. The most highly

tonnage. And it was not until you came into contact that you
knew who could outfire the... who with the same amount of
tonnage could outperform the other, who was getting more out
of the same.
"Now this is the very essence of the sea-- going back early to
the wooden sailing ship. Two ships of the same size. You built
your ship locally, used the best trees you had for your mast
(but they weren't particularly good) and the best fabrics you
had for your sails. But you came to a country like-- spruce--"

"and you careened your ship and put in much stronger, longer
fiber masts. No knots. Then you came to a country like what we
call the Phillipines today and we find that the fibers were
much stronger for your ropes; so you put on a lot of that rope
and make some more rope at home. And you get to a place like
Egypt and they had much longer fibers for their cotton and you
make your sails out of that. And you found that by the time
your ship came home-- the same ship, weighing exactly the same--
could way outperform the other ship that was the same. So when
it came to the great battles of the sailing ships, a man who had
really been around the world and had got his ship into a very
high performance out of the same amount of material-- you would
close with the other man when it really was blowing hard; the
other man was going to have to take off sail or else his sails
would blow out, or his ropes would break, or his mast would
break. Whoever did the most with the same, or more with the
same, was the one who stayed on top of the ocean. And this was
the most highly classified thing, which never showed up. So that
when the other man went to the bottom, he couldn't tell about it;
so it was kept as a really great secret. I'm really amazed
that it's never gotten into the book of economics-- about doing
more with less!... And from your own accounting viewpoint, just

concept came out of a great complexity of nature regenerating
life through the vegetation. Here you are growing corn but you
need some shoes on you, so somebody else making shoes-- he made
more shoes than he could wear, and you're growing more corn, and
here we began to have some way of exchanging. And we had a
very complex way of exchanging all the things you get into in

and with the market, set some values-- but we didn't really know

Motion:
"Motion is not relative to standing still. Motion is
relative to eternity, which is No-time-at-all. No-time-at-
all is inherent in the generalized principles which to be
valid must have no exceptions and be eternal, thus eternally
true. The beginning of awareness, of intellect, is
otherness. The whole complex of different and nonintercontra-
dictory all interaccommodative generalized principles are s
etnal. Complexity is eternal. The principle of mass inter-
attraction of complex otherness is eternal and relates all
this eternal complexity to our eternal system interfunctionings.
"Newton's norm, as disclosed in his first phrase in his first
law of motion, was 'at rest.' The stars were 'fixed.* The
planets and the moons of planets, as well as comets were in
motion because hurled by explosions from fixed stars, etc.

Einstein's philosophy did not hold the speed of radiation
unfettered in vacuo to be very fast. It assumed this
speed to be normal, and all other lesser speeds manifest in
the physical Universe to be occasioned by local interferences,
shunting independent phenomena into local circuit repatternings."

Motion:

of
afterimages of a plurality of optically tunable separate
and sequentially occurring electromagnetic frequency events
just
as music is produced for the hearing by a metrically
momentumed sequence of both separate and resonantly overlapped
sound frequency notes. Motion is visual music made possible
by the spontaneous
retention in the brain of a series of
separate still picture frames of our separate sense experiences
scanned and reviewed in the brain at a vastly accelerated
sequence
rate. Our
brain discovers that each successive
electromagnetic picture is just a little different from the
ones before and our dawning awareness of that increasing
difference
constitutes our motion sense."

angles of direction as angularly referenced multidimension-
ally to a given observer's system axis, spin orientation,
and system-orbit direction at the time of observation.
angularly referenced relationships inherently involve
fourth-dimensional accommodation (and fifth-power accommo-

relationships can be conceptually comprehended in synergetics
but can be expressed only in complex formula terms in the

Mutual Survival Principles:
"It is mathematically probable that the unprecedented

war effort will win a military advantage over the unpreceden-
ted military challenge to the as yet adolescent cause of
democracy.
"However, the educated individual, thinking responsibly
upon the problems that confront personal, family, state, and
national fate, if not survival of the human race itself, is
well aware that a military advantage gained over the enemy,
no matter how tactically incisive, cannot represent a
solution to the greater problems in principles governing a
workable system of mutual survival.
"The unheeded challenge of these overgrown mutual survival
problems themselves precipitated the war. Rather than dimin-
ishing in the emergency, they have been heightened in degree
of general recognition and of popular language definition.
Because the problems are now total in scope and therefore
astronomical in dimensions, there is a tendency to assume
that the answer must be found in physical plans of unprece-
dented might.

seemingly simplest yet most profound phenomena of experience,
1.8., the thought communication processes.
"If the reader will take heed of each of the first ingredients
of the problem--no matter how seemingly familiar--the whole
thesis will soon move to form into subassemblies of signif-
icant thought. Ultimate function of the subassemblies of
significant thought, if not at first obvious are soon intuit-
ively recognized. This in turn will develop progressive
awareness of a dramatic grand ensemble of principles govern-
ing total world economic integration by science-paced industry.
"The third principleof this thesis differs widely from the
popular misconception that man has 'built up a body of
knowledge as a synthetic stockpile of mental stuffs accumu-
lated on shelves of brick buildings requiring experts and
even colossal mentalities to interpret. This third principle
has it that the universal phenomena always exist-- that man
out of a chaotic sensorial relationship to his Universe, has"
from time to time transcended his confused self-preoccupation*

Mutual Survival Principles:
"long enough to dimly discern those phenomena of ever present
universal and dynamic principles. That learning, instead of
'advancing' as a progressive invention of accessory complica-
tions related only to the affairs of 'civilized' man, is
instead a process of progressive simplification to universal
reality. That the answers are always so simple as usually to
be overlooked. For the grownups this means unlearning, or
divestment of error.
"In view of this premiseof infinite and omnipresent wisdom
to be progressively discovered as principles of
sublime simplicity, we also discover the initial advantages
accruing to the scrupulous humility of creative science."

Myopia:
"
Incasting vs. Broadcasting:
There are great varieties of periods of nonmeshing which
altogether make the physically observed totality appear to
take up ever more room, anywhere within which expansiveness
the locally predominant events occurring within short spans
of time appear to be omnidisorderly.
"When we compound that realization with the now-known millionfold
greater span of electromagnetic reality and the lesser span of
direct sense ranging of the human organiam, we begin to compre-
hend how readily humanity falls into the trap of dismay, fear,
and negativism in general.
*Impatience engenders further myopically disorderly incrementation
of information receipts. Those who are impatient for the
receipt of the next news broadcast are only beguiled by negative
information. That is what myopia looks for. Chronic short-
sightedness spontaneously seeks and tunes in only the broadcasted
entropy. Syntropy incasts in contradistinction to entropic
broadcast. Syntropy can be apprehended only through overall
or comprehensive review of the totally recalled information of
long-term experience."

Mystery:
"Mystery is not properly accredited. Newton's mass interattrae-

Because no constant characteristics of the respective inter-
attracted mass entities foretells their second-power rate of
change of interattractive integrity as their relative proximity
varies."

Mystical:
"Why universe?' is at present an unanswerable
inquiry into the mystical. Though mystical' sound like
a contraction of Imetaphysical, they are not the same.
For this reason,
I consider all the time spent in speculation
regarding the inherently unanswerable to be inherently
profitless and a squandering of the opportunity to
answer those questions which are answerable by man.
"It is, however experienced by us that the unaswerables
provoke a sensation in us to which we allude-- only
intuitively-- as 'mysterious.1"
