¶ Synergetics
Index Entry
Synergetics:
“Synergetic geometry makes possible a childhood participation in nuclear physics as a logical and enjoyable, rather than a precocious phenomenon. However, scientific entry into the present realm of nuclear competence was accomplished with the m awkward, irrational tools of the XYZ coordinate system. The development and adoption of the great computers has now relieved man of the onerous tasks characteristic of the irrational constants interlinking the many separate facts of scientific inquiry which arose from the Euclidian geometric approach. Because these tasks are being carried by the computers, and men are getting along all right on their blind-flown scientific pilgrimages, there will be only slow realization of the significance of the sensorially-conceptual facility of dealing with nature that is opened up by Synergetics.”
