RBF Definitions
"The difference between gravitation and radiation is analogous
to the difference between parallel wiring and series wiring in
electricity. Series wiring is like the lights on a christmas
tree in which circuitry if one light goes out the whole system
goes out. In parallel wiring when one light goes out the
other lights remain operative. This is a demonstration of
integration and disintegration. Series wiring is a disintegra-
time system, an open system. Parallel wiring is an integra-
tive system, a closed system. It is not the ‘parallelism’ that
matters but the fact that the circuit is closed. The word
parallel came into use only because of the diagram first used
to demonstrate the principle as well as the fact that the
closed circuit wire is conveniently doubled back upon itself
and bound into one ‘lead’ for house-wiring purposes. The fact
that the vectors are parallel is only a convenience of the
construction industry. The same length vectors–ergo the same
energy magnitude involvement–used correctly, can provide
either function. Here we have the convergent integrations
and divergent disintegration language of synergetics in the
language of electricity."
