Acceleration: Angular & Linear:
"terms of first and second power. You would not have a linear increment until the cycle was complete. We use some kind of cycle. It may be a cycle of atomic oscillation. Or it could be of a clock. But it is some kind of cycle, and until the cycle is complete you don’t have an increment.
"Therefore we discover that in angular acceleration-- I started at six o’clock to play the game and I have only gone this far and I haven’t made a cycle, and yet this is measurable.
"We find that an angle is subcyclic. We said there was no size until the cycle had been completed. We find an angle is a priori of no size: it has nothing to do with the phenomena size. The length of the edges are the linears and have nothing to do with what this angle is. Angle has nothing to do with size.
“It was one of these qualities of the tetrahedron with the 60-degreeness, symmetry, and so forth, which was completely independent of size. I found this a very important discovery. We see the tetrahedron turning inside-out, so now you know what that one was about.”
