740.10 Positive and Negative
740.11
Stacked columns of “solidly,” i.e., compressionally continuous and only compressionally combined, cubes demonstrate the simultaneous employment of both positive and negative tensegrities. Because both the positive and the negative tensegrity mast are independently self-supporting, either one provides the same overall capability. It is a kind of capability heretofore associated only with “solid” compressional struts, masts, beams, and levers—that is, either the positive- or the negative-tensegrity “beam-boom- mast” longitudinal structural integrity has the same capability independently as the two of them have together. When the two are combined, either the positive- or the negative- tensegrity set, whichever is a fraction stronger than the other, it is found experimentally, must be doing all the strut work at any one time. The unemployed set is entirely superfluous, ergo redundant. All “solid” structuring is redundant.
740.12
If the alternate capabilities of the positive and negative sets are approximately equal, they tend to exchange alternately the loading task and thus generate an oscillating interaction of positive vs. negative load transferral. The energies of their respective structural integrities tend to self-interdeterioration of their combined, alternating, strut-functioning longevity of structural capability. The phenomenon eventually approaches crystallization. All the redundant structures inherently accelerate their own destruction in relation to the potential longevity of their nonredundant tensegrity counterparts.

Fig. 740.21 Tensegrity Masts as Struts
Fig. 740.21 Tensegrity Masts as Struts: Miniaturization Approaches Atomic Structure: The tensegrity masts can be substituted for the individual (so-called solid) struts in the tensegrity spheres. In each one of the separate tensegrity masts, acting as struts, in the tensegrity spheres it can be seen that there are little (so-called) solid struts. A miniature tensegrity mast may be substituted for each of those solid struts. The subminiature tensegrity mast within the tensegrity struts of the tensegrity struts of the tensegrity sphere and a subsubminiature tensegrity mast may be substituted for each of those solid struts, and so on to subsubsubminiature tensegrities until we finally get down to the size of the atom and this becomes completely compatible with the atom for the atom is tensegrity and there are no “solids” left in the entire structural system. There are no solids in structures, ergo no solids in Universe. There is nothing incompatible with what we may see as solid at the visual level and what we are finding out to be the structural relationships in nuclear physics.
Link to original
It is obvious that each of the seemingly “solid” compression struts in tensegrity island complexes could be replaced by miniature tensegrity masts. There is nothing to keep us from doing this but technological techniques for operating at microlevels. It is simply that each of the struts gets smaller: as we look at each strut in the tensegrity mast, we see that we could make another much smaller miniature tensegrity mast to replace it. Every time we can see a separate strut and can devise means for making a tensegrity strut of that overall size, we can substitute it for the previously “solid” strut. By such a process of progressive substitutions in diminishing order of sizes, leading eventually via sub-sub-sub-miniaturizing tensegrities to discovery of the last remaining stage of the seemingly “solid” struts, we find that there is a minimum “solid-state” strut’s column diameter, which corresponds exactly with two diameters of the atoms of which it is constructed. And this is perfectly compatible, because discontinuity characterizes the structuring of the atoms. The atom is a tensegrity, and there are no “solids” left in the entire structural system. We thus discover that tensegrity structuring and its omnirationally constituted regularities are cosmically a priori, disclosing that Universe is not redundant. It is only humanity’s being born ignorant that has delayed all of humanity’s escape from the self-annihilating effect of the omniredundance now characterizing most of humanity’s activities.
740.30 No Solids in Structures
740.31
There are no solids in structures. Ergo, there are no solids in Universe. There is nothing incompatible with what we may see as “structure” at the superficial level and what we are finding out to be the structural relationships in nuclear physics. It is just that we did not have the information when yesterday we built so solidly. This eliminates any further requirement of the now utterly obsolete conception of “solid” anything as intervening in the man-tuned sensorial ranges between the macro- and micro-world of ultra- and infrasensorial integrity. We have tensegrity constellations of stars and tensegrity constellations of atoms, and they are just Milky Way-like star patterns of relative spaces and critical proximities.
