Heading Repetition is when say 222 is repeated as again as 222-Heading so the heading captures the stuff below it as well. there are a few inconsistencies with this in the book itself.

Roadmap

(not fully thought through yet, will update on the go) updated on 2025-10-25

Currently this is just a replication of the original book with some corrections made which I could afford due to it being a digital project. Another version of the book is available at RWprojects.com and has also been acknowledged by BFI.org itself. Due to that version being pure HTML, it would feel a bit haphazard to any new reader. I aim to make the book itself appealing and easy to read.

In the future the website will have “3D” animated versions of all instances where imagination is asked of the reader. Back in the day, Bucky would be very reliant on hands-on models to base his observations and experiments on. Furthermore, he would say during his lectures that he is not interested in writing anything on the ‘black board’ and such because he believed that the audience will be able to understand the concepts way better using their own imagination, which process would be impeded by a black board diagrams.

There will be a mobile app as well, though I do not know the specifics of what that might entail. People can always visit the website on their mobile anytime though.

When the child doesn’t do the “right thing”, there are often 2 reasons for that:

1. he doesn’t know it is an option
2. the option presents itself in a form utterly unappealing to the child
