Measurement:
“A steerable rocket is a complex of internal and external activities both mechanically and chemically. Since either an airplane or a steerable rocket are complexes of internal and external motions in universe independent of earth and since the earth is in independent motion complex in respect to the sun, and other planets, and since the sun is engaged in a plurality of internal and external motions in respect to the galactic system and since the galactic system is a complex of motions in respect to other galaxies and super-galaxies and so on, and since the whole set of motion events are non-simultaneous, and since the inter-effects of the events vary vastly in respect to aeons of time, it is obvious that any meaningful, conceptual coordination of event interrelationships is inherently limited to a relatively local set, in a time sense, and that the relationships may only be measured in respect to the angle and frequency magnitude characteristics of any one subsystem of the totality.”
