Algebra:
“The conceptual modeling” of synergetics “does not contradict … but complements the exclusively abstract algebraic expression of physical Universe relationships which commenced approximately one century ago with the electromagnetic wave discoveries of Hertz and Maxwell” whose “electrical apparatus experiments made possible their algebraic treatment without being able to see or conceptually comprehend the fundamental energy behaviors. The permitted discrete algebraic statement and treatment of invisible phenomena resulted in science’s comfortable yielding to completely abstract mathematical processing of energy phenomena. The abandonment … of conceptual models removed from the literary men any conceptual patterns with which they might treat in attempting to communicate the evolution of scientific events to the non-mathematically-languaged public.”
