Fourth Dimension:
"Science had thought that it was impossible to be conceptual because it had felt that fourth dimensionality, which had been showing up time and again as an arithmetical behavior of the physics, could not be accommodated by the XYZ coordinate system and it can be coordinated by synergetic geometry. Why can it be? Because the vector equilibrium has a volume of 20. You can get eight cubes around one point and so the third power of two, which is eight, has used up all the space. But using the tetrahedra m I can get a volume of 20 around one point as I do in the vector equilibrium. Minus Twenty is two to the fourth power plus two to the second power and it makes it quite possible to use models of fourth powering by using tetrahedroning.
"In fact, we find m vector equilibrium is unity because its edge module is one as is the cube the module of one. It is when it is one, when it is unity, that its volume is 20. When its edge module is two, it is two to the third power times 20, which is 160, and the volume is 160 where the edge module is two. It will accommodate very high powering, the sixth powering and so forth. It makes possible the actual modelling of the multi-powers. . . "
