Minimum System: Minimum Structural System:
“Now I have what I call a system and it is a triangle of equal structure, a structure being a selfregenerative, interpositional stabilization of energetic events. Now a system divides all the Universe outside the system and all the Universe inside the system. In my thoughts I can have a macrocosm and a microcosm, within this and without this-- and a little bit if the Universe goes into the system itself. So the minimum subdivision of Universe where we can say this is inside and that is outside: I can’t get it at one point and I can’t get it at two points, or at three. I can’t get it until I get four points. With four points I then get insideness and outsideness-- the minimum system is a tetrahedron. There are four triangles. This is a minimum system. This is not only a minimum structure, it is the structure: there are no other structures. This is what I call a structural system because it subdivides the Universe into this entire triangle-- regular or irregular.”
