Quanta Loss By Congruence:
"In exploring the intertransformability of the primitive
hierarchy of structuring-as-you-go, omnitriangularly
oriented evolution and the interbonding of its evolving
structural components, we soon discover that the universal
interjointing of systems and their foldability permit the
angularly hinged convergence into congruence of vectors,
faces, and vertices, (see VE Jitterbug) each of whose
multicongruences appear only as one edge, or one vertex, or
one face aspects, wherefore topological accounting as
presently practiced accounts each of these multicongruent
topological aspects as consisting of only one of such aspects.
"Only synergetics accounts for all the congruent (doubled,
tripled, fourfolded) topological aspects' presences by always
accounting for the initial inventory of the comprehensive
rhombic dodecahedron's tetravolumed 48-ness and the vector
equilibrium's inherent tetra volume 20-ness, together with
their respective initial or primitive inventories of vertices,
faces, and edge lines, which are always present in all stages
of the 48 1 convergence transformation, though often
imperceptibly so."

Quarrying:
By progressively eliminating the degrees of
absurdity and working back to the not too absurd
he is liable to be able at least to learn the quarry,
where his quarry is in a small area. What we call quarrying
is objective. These are hunting terms.

Q.
A.
Do you wish to continue this communications mode?
"I do not wish anything. I am grateful for 'what happens.'
I am committed to problem solving by positive competent
participation in the inexorable physical evolution's transforma-
tive stratagems. I am 78. My mail is prodigious. I cannot
answer each letter. Therefore, I write books of answers to
most pressing questions. Have published 12 books. If you read
them all you would not have had to ask the questions that you
did for most of them are answered as best I know how in those
books. Please do not think that I consider myself an authority.
I have been asking myself questions for my whole lifetime and,
a half-century ago, challenged myself to find my own answers
by experiemnt or in the books instead of asking live questions
of others. This did not preclude listening to others when they
spoke voluntarily to me. I decided to commit my answers to
paper so that I could check myself at a later date; in order
by trial and error to learn how to think more adequately and
incisively. I am glad that you have written to me and above
all that you as a young human are interested in such important
questions at least to me they are important."

RBF DEFINITIONS
Question Asking:
"Many years ago I developed a system of question asking in
which I ruled that I must always answer the questions from
experience. My answers must not be based on hearsays, beliefs,
axioms, or seeming self-evidence."

Question: Original Question:
"Here then is an original question: born through
occurrence of unexpected interference in experimental
interpatternings.
Original questions of computers or
humans probably are, always, products of unexpected inter-
ferences. . ."

RBF DEFINITIONS
Question:
Original Question:
"The scientist-philosphers of computer integation say that
because the asking of original questions is a consequence of
interferences, and because interferences are products of time
sequences, it follows that original questions are both functions
and products of time. There must be a great number of moves
and a vast number of computer components before enough time
can elapse to develop new types of secondary or tertiary inter-
ferences, which in turn may from time to time proveke original
questions."
