Conceptual Models:
"The real break between science and the public occurred when science found that invisible behaviors of nature could be ferreted out by instruments and computationally mastered without recourse to conceptual models, which had become seemingly invalid due to the inability to model fourth dimensionality with XYZ 90-degree coordination, which, however, could be readily computed mathematically. With the wholesale migration of science into the world of invisibility without any conceptual models of reference, the literary man who depended upon conceptual models or analogies for his verbal pattern relaying was automatically excluded from either ringside participation or backrow glimpsing of the significant affairs of science.
“The natural four axis, 60-degree, tetrahedronal coordinate system… returns ‘conceptuality’ of dynamic structural principles to scientific validity.”
