Vector Equilibrium:
"Vector equilibrium, i.e., a structural [sic - EJA] system in which the radial vectors and the circumferential vectors are of equal magnitude; ergo the tendency to explode or to contract is in equilibrium; either could but neither does, unless something is added or subtracted to change the dynamic balance. Equilibrium is a ‘dangerous’ condition because-- due to entropy-- something is always about to be added or subtracted to change the balance.
"When an airplane stalls it is in equilibrium. The vector equilibrium consists of four symmetrically interdisposed planes. These four planes are parallel to the four unique, symmetrically interdisposed planes of the regular tetrahedron. The vector equilibrium shown in the picture is subpatterned with a two-fold, modular frequency, edge and radius subdivision. Both radial and circumferential frequencies of modular subdivision of the vector equilibrium are always, everywhere, equal, in both magnitude and number.
"The volume of the vector equilibrium is always 20 times frequency to the third power, written as 20 F³.
