¶ Tension (1)
Index Entry
Tension:
"As structural systems are omni-directionally coherent, tensile factors were unwittingly taken advantage of to cohere man’s compressive structures. Comprehensive tensile coherence provided by nature was atomic, the enormous amount of which induced into action was manifested by the weight of the structural masses. The invisible structure was E = mc²…
"Throughout the universe, compression and tension are energetically juxtaposed. Their juxtaposition provides dimension–the basic of awareness of life itself. Tension is comprehensive. Universe tensionally coheres non-simultaneous events.
"Man’s structuring ability is by principle distinctly limited in the proportional ratios of width and length of compression members. The tensile principle has no such ratioed limit of length to section. Tension members, no matter how elongated, tend to pull true. Tension is limited only to the initial cohesiveness of the chemical elements. As man’s knowledge of chemical
