Wave Pattern of a Stone Dropped in Liquid:
“When we drop a stone into water, we see a wave emanate outwardly in a plane. We agree that it is not water but that we are seeing a wave in pure principle. It is not simultaneous: therefore to conceptualize we are using our memory and afterimage. We can never have static waves; they have nothing to do with statics. We see a wave operative in time and in pure principle. If we initiate wave-propagating energy action at one point, a complete omnidirectional wave develops.”
“When a stone is dropped into a tank of water, the stone does not penetrate the water molecules. The molecules are jostled; they ‘accommodate’ the stone and in the process jostle their neighboring molecules, which, in turn, jostle their own outwardly surrounding water molecule neighbors. Thus waves of relayed jostling are propagated. Each relayed wave, although a composite of locally forwarded actions, provides a synergetic continuity scenario of those actions. The consequence is a pattern of events that has an integrity of its own, independent of the local displacement accommodations (which are innocent with respect to the overall synergetic pattern).”
