Periodic Experience:
"of the relative inertia of the relative waves of water, eventually to pass Bermuda, as the whole picture is observed from the airplane and its infinitude of subcomplexities.
"Though both are designed with the same family of principles called ‘factors of ships,’ the comprehensive realizer can see that the superficial difference between the collections of frequencies which makes the Bermuda cruising boat seemingly different from the airplane-- or indeed, man from elephant-- may be in principle the same difference as understandably exists between an early Wright airplane and the latest supersonic airplane, or, yet, between an early Chinese hot air balloon and a late helicopter.
“The only difference between the Wright and the supersonic planes is the sum total of recurrent synchronized cyclic events known as the ‘succession of design models’-- evolved in complex out of the physical experience with each trial balance of the designed complex effected by man, and as let loose after static-load-test-within-limited-controlled-conditions of variables, into the dynamic-load-tests within the unknown, uncontrolled, comprehensive and a priori design”
