Index Entry
The vector equilibrium is of the greatest importance to all of us because all the nuclear tendencies to implosion and explosion are reversible and always in exact balance. But the important thing is that the radials which, if they are outwardly pushing, would tend to explode, are always frustrated by the tensile finiteness of the circumferential vectors which close together in an orderly manner to cohere the disorderly sundering.
When the radial vector are tensiley contractive and separately implosive, they are always prevented from doing so by the finitely closing pushers or compressors of the circumferential set of vectors. The integrity of Universe is implicit in the external finiteness of the circumferential set which always encloses the otherwise divisive internal radial set of omnidirectional vectors.
All the internal or nuclear affairs of the atom occur internally to the vector equilibrium and all the external or chemical associations occur externally to the vector equilibrium.
