930.10 Continuous Pattern Strip: “Come and Go”

930.11

Fig. 930.11

Fig. 930.11: This continuous triangulation pattern strip is a 60 , angular, “come and go” alternation of very-high-frequency energy events of unit wavelength. This strip folded back on itself becomes a series of octahedra. The octahedra strips then combine to form a space-filling array of octahedra and tetrahedra, with all lines or vectors being of identical length and all the triangles equilateral and all the vertexes being omnidirectionally evenly spaced from one another. This is the pattern of “closest packing” of spheres.

Exploring the multiramifications of spontaneously regenerative reangulations and triangulations, we introduce upon a continuous ribbon a 60-degree-patterned, progressively alternating, angular bounce-off inwards from first one side and then the other side of the ribbon, which produces a wave pattern whose length is the interval along any one side between successive bounce-offs which, being at 60 degrees in this case, produces a series of equiangular triangles along the strip. As seen from one side, the equiangular triangles are alternately oriented as peak away, then base away, then peak away again, etc. This is the patterning of the only equilibrious, never realized, angular field state, in contradistinction to its sine-curve wave, periodic realizations of progressively accumulative, disequilibrious aberrations, whose peaks and valleys may also be patterned between the same length wave intervals along the sides of the ribbon as that of the equilibrious periodicity. (See Illus. 930.11.)

930.20

Pattern Strips Aggregate Wrapabilities: The equilibrious state’s 60- degree rise-and-fall lines may also become successive cross-ribbon fold-lines, which, when successively partially folded, will produce alternatively a tetrahedral- or an octahedral- or an icosahedral-shaped spool or reel upon which to roll-mount itself repeatedly: the tetrahedral spool having four successive equiangular triangular facets around its equatorial girth, with no additional triangles at its polar extremities; while in the case of the octahedral reel, it wraps closed only six of the eight triangular facets of the octahedron, which six lie around the octahedron’s equatorial girth with two additional triangles left unwrapped, one each triangularly surrounding each of its poles; while in the case of the icosahedron, the equiangle-triangulated and folded ribbon wraps up only 10 of the icosahedron’s 20 triangles, those 10 being the 10 that lie around the icosahedron’s equatorial girth, leaving five triangles uncovered around each of its polar vertexes. (See Illus. 930.20.)

930.21

The two uncovered triangles of the octahedron may be covered by wrapping only one more triangularly folded ribbon whose axis of wraparound is one of the XYZ symmetrical axes of the octahedron.

930.22

Complete wrap-up of the two sets of five triangles occurring around each of the two polar zones of the icosahedron, after its equatorial zone triangles are completely enclosed by one ribbon-wrapping, can be accomplished by employing only two more such alternating, triangulated ribbon-wrappings .

930.23

The tetrahedron requires only one wrap-up ribbon; the octahedron two; and the icosahedron three, to cover all their respective numbers of triangular facets. Though all their faces are covered, there are, however, alternate and asymmetrically arrayed, open and closed edges of the tetra, octa, and icosa, to close all of which in an even-number of layers of ribbon coverage per each facet and per each edge of the three-and-only prime structural systems of Universe, requires three, triangulated, ribbon-strip wrappings for the tetrahedron; six for the octahedron; and nine for the icosahedron.

930.24

If each of the ribbon-strips used to wrap-up, completely and symmetrically, the tetra, octa, and icosa, consists of transparent tape; and those tapes have been divided by a set of equidistantly interspaced lines running parallel to the ribbon’s edges; and three of these ribbons wrap the tetrahedron, six wrap the octahedron, and nine the icosahedron; then all the four equiangular triangular facets of the tetrahedron, eight of the octahedron, and 20 of the icosahedron, will be seen to be symmetrically subdivided into smaller equiangle triangles whose total number will be N2, the second power of the number of spaces between the ribbon’s parallel lines.

930.25

All of the vertexes of the intercrossings of the three-, six-, nine-ribbons’ internal parallel lines and edges identify the centers of spheres closest-packed into tetrahedra, octahedra, and icosahedra of a frequency corresponding to the number of parallel intervals of the ribbons. These numbers (as we know from Sec. 223.21) are: 2F² + 2 for the tetrahedron; 4F² + 2 for the octahedron; and 10F² + 2 for the icosahedron (or vector equilibrium).

930.26

Thus we learn sum-totally how a ribbon (band) wave, a waveband, can self- interfere periodically to produce in-shuntingly all the three prime structures of Universe and a complex isotropic vector matrix of successively shuttle-woven tetrahedra and octahedra. It also illustrates how energy may be wave-shuntingly self-knotted or self- interfered with (see Sec. 506), and their energies impounded in local, high-frequency systems which we misidentify as only-seemingly-static matter.

931.00 Chemical Bonds

931.10

Omnicongruence: When two or more systems are joined vertex to vertex, edge to edge, or in omnicongruence-in single, double, triple, or quadruple bonding, then the topological accounting must take cognizance of the congruent vectorial build in growth. (See Illus. 931.10.)

931.20

Single Bond: In a single-bonded or univalent aggregate, all the tetrahedra are joined to one another by only one vertex. The connection is like an electromagnetic universal joint or like a structural engineering pin joint; it can rotate in any direction around the joint. The mutability of behavior of single bonds elucidates the compressible and load-distributing behavior of gases.

931.30

Double Bond: If two vertexes of the tetrahedra touch one another, it is called double-bonding. The systems are joined like an engineering hinge; it can rotate only perpendicularly about an axis. Double-bonding characterizes the load-distributing but noncompressible behavior of liquids. This is edge-bonding.

931.40

Triple Bond: When three vertexes come together, it is called a fixed bond, a three-point landing. It is like an engineering fixed joint; it is rigid. Triple-bonding elucidates both the formational and continuing behaviors of crystalline substances. This also is face-bonding.

931.50

Quadruple Bond: When four vertexes are congruent, we have quadruple- bonded densification. The relationship is quadrivalent. Quadri-bond and mid-edge coordinate tetrahedron systems demonstrate the super-strengths of substances such as diamonds and metals. This is the way carbon suddenly becomes very dense, as in a diamond. This is multiple self-congruence.

931.51

The behavioral hierarchy of bondings is integrated four-dimensionally with the synergies of mass-interattractions and precession.

931.60

Quadrivalence of Energy Structures Closer-Than-Sphere Packing: In 1885, van’t Hoff showed that all organic chemical structuring is tetrahedrally configured and interaccounted in vertexial linkage. A constellation of tetrahedra linked together entirely by such single-bonded universal jointing uses lots of space, which is the openmost condition of flexibility and mutability characterizing the behavior of gases. The medium- packed condition of a double-bonded, hinged arrangement is still flexible, but sum-totally as an aggregate, allspace-filling complex is noncompressible—as are liquids. The closest- packing, triple-bonded, fixed-end arrangement corresponds with rigid-structure molecular compounds.

931.61

The closest-packing concept was developed in respect to spherical aggregates with the convex and concave octahedra and vector equilibria spaces between the spheres. Spherical closest packing overlooks a much closer packed condition of energy structures, which, however, had been comprehended by organic chemistry—that of quadrivalent and fourfold bonding, which corresponds to outright congruence of the octahedra or tetrahedra themselves. When carbon transforms from its soft, pressed-cake, carbon black powder (or charcoal) arrangement to its diamond arrangement, it converts from the so-called closest arrangement of triple bonding to quadrivalence. We call this self-congruence packing, as a single tetrahedron arrangement in contradistinction to closest packing as a neighboring-group arrangement of spheres.

931.62

Linus Pauling’s X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that all metals are tetrahedrally organized in configurations interlinking the gravitational centers of the compounded atoms. It is characteristic of metals that an alloy is stronger when the different metals’ unique, atomic, constellation symmetries have congruent centers of gravity, providing mid-edge, mid-face, and other coordinate, interspatial accommodation of the elements’ various symmetric systems.

931.63

In omnitetrahedral structuring, a triple-bonded linear, tetrahedral array may coincide, probably significantly, with the DNA helix. The four unique quanta corners of the tetrahedron may explain DNA’s unzipping dichotomy as well as—T-A; G- C—patterning control of all reproductions of all biological species.

932.00 Viral Steerability

932.01

The four chemical compounds guanine, cytosine, thymine, and adenine, whose first letters are GCTA, and of which DNA always consists in various paired code pattern sequences, such as GC, GC, CG, AT, TA, GC, in which A and T are always paired as are G and C. The pattern controls effected by DNA in all biological structures can be demonstrated by equivalent variations of the four individually unique spherical radii of two unique pairs of spheres which may be centered in any variation of series that will result in the viral steerability of the shaping of the DNA tetrahelix prototypes. (See Sec. 1050.00 et. seq.)

932.02

One of the main characteristics of DNA is that we have in its helix a structural patterning instruction, all four-dimensional patterning being controlled only by frequency and angle modulatability. The coding of the four principal chemical compounds, GCTA, contains all the instructions for the designing of all the patterns known to biological life. These four letters govern the coding of the life structures. With new life, there is a parent-child code controls unzipping. There is a dichotomy and the new life breaks off from the old with a perfect imprint and control, wherewith in turn to produce and design others.

933.00 Tetrahelix

933.01

Fig. 933.01

Fig. 933.01: These helical columns of tetrahedra, which we call the tetrahelix, explain the structuring of DNA models of the control of the fundamental patterning of nature’s biological structuring as contained within the virus nucleus. It takes just 10 triple-bonded tetrahedra to make a helix cycle, which is a molecular compounding characteristic also of the Watson-Crick model of the DNA. When we address two or more positive (or two or more negative) tetrahelixes together, they nestle their angling forms into one another. When so nestled the tetrahedra are grouped in local clusters of five tetrahedra around a transverse axis in the tetrahelix nestling columns. Because the dihedral angles of five tetrahedra are 7° 20’ short of 360°, this 7° 20’ is sprung-closed by the helix structure’s spring contraction. This backed-up spring tries constantly to unzip one nestling tetrahedron from the other, or others, of which it is a true replica. These are direct (theoretical) explanations of otherwise as yet unexplained behavior of the DNA.

Link to original

The tetrahelix is a helical array of triple-bonded tetrahedra. (See Illus. 933.01) We have a column of tetrahedra with straight edges, but when face-bonded to one another, and the tetrahedra’s edges are interconnected, they altogether form a hyperbolic-parabolic, helical column. The column spirals around to make the helix, and it takes just ten tetrahedra to complete one cycle of the helix.

933.02

This tetrahelix column can be equiangle-triangular, triple-ribbon-wave produced as in the methodology of Secs. 930.10 and 930.20 by taking a ribbon three- panels wide instead of one-panel wide as in Sec. 930.10. With this triple panel folded along both of its interior lines running parallel to the three-band-wide ribbon’s outer edges, and with each of the three bands interiorly scribed and folded on the lines of the equiangle-triangular wave pattern, it will be found that what might at first seem to promise to be a straight, prismatic, three-edged, triangular-based column—upon matching the next-nearest above, wave interval, outer edges of the three panels together (and taping them together)—will form the same tetrahelix column as that which is produced by taking separate equiedged tetrahedra and face-bonding them together. There is no distinguishable difference, as shown in the illustration.

933.03

The tetrahelix column may be made positive (like the right-hand-threaded screw) or negative (like the left-hand-threaded screw) by matching the next-nearest-below wave interval of the triple-band, triangular wave’s outer edges together, or by starting the triple-bonding of separate tetrahedra by bonding in the only alternate manner provided by the two possible triangular faces of the first tetrahedron furthest away from the starting edge; for such columns always start and end with a tetrahedron’s edge and not with its face.

933.04

Such tetrahelical columns may be made with regular or irregular tetrahedral components because the sum of the angles of a tetrahedron’s face will always be 720 degrees, whether regular or asymmetric. If we employed asymmetric tetrahedra they would have six different edge lengths, as would be the case if we had four different diametric balls—G, C, T, A—and we paired them tangentially, G with C, and T with A, and we then nested them together (as in Sec. 623.12), and by continuing the columns in any different combinations of these pairs we would be able to modulate the rate of angular changes to design approximately any form.

933.05

This synergetics’ tetrahelix is capable of demonstrating the molecular- compounding characteristic of the Watson-Crick model of the DNA, that of the deoxyribonucleic acid. When Drs. Watson, Wilkins, and Crick made their famous model of the DNA, they made a chemist’s reconstruct from the information they were receiving, but not as a microscopic photograph taken through a camera. It was simply a schematic reconstruction of the data they were receiving regarding the relevant chemical associating and the disassociating. They found that a helix was developing.

933.06

They found there were 36 rotational degrees of arc accomplished by each increment of the helix and the 36 degrees aggregated as 10 arc increments in every complete helical cycle of 360 degrees. Although there has been no identification of the tetrahelix column of synergetics with the Watson-Crick model, the numbers of the increments are the same. Other molecular biologists also have found a correspondence of the tetrahelix with the structure used by some of the humans’ muscle fibers.

933.07

When we address two or more positive or two or more negative tetrahelixes together, the positives nestle their angling forms into one another, as the negatives nestle likewise into one another’s forms.

933.08

Closest Packing of Different-sized Balls: It could be that the CCTA tetrahelix derives from the closest packing of different-sized balls. The Mites and Sytes (see Sec. 953) could be the tetrahedra of the GCTA because they are both positive- negative and allspace filling.

934.00 Unzipping Angle

934.01

If we take three columns of tetrahelixes and nest them into one another, we see that they also apparently internest neatly as with a three-part rope twist; but upon pressing them together to close the last narrow gap between them we discover that they are stubbornly resisting the final closure because the core pattern they make is one in which five tetrahedra are triple-bonded around a common edge axis—which angular gap is impossible to close.

934.02

Five tetrahedra triple-bonded to one another around a common edge axis leave an angular sinus² of 7° 20’ as the birth unzipping angle of DNA-RNA behaviors. This gap could be shared 10 ways, i.e., by two faces each of the five circle-closing tetrahedra, and only 44 minutes of circular arc per each tetra face, each of whose two faces might be only alternatingly edge-bonded, or hinged, to the next, which almost- closed, face-toward-face, hinge condition would mechanically accommodate the spanned coherence of this humanly-invisible, 44-minutes-of-circular-arc, distance of interadherence. Making such a tetrahelix column could be exactly accomplished by only hinging one edge of each tetrahedron to the next, always making the next hinge with one of the two-out-of-three edges not employed in the previous hinge. Whatever the method of interlinkage, this birth dichotomy is apparently both accommodated by and caused by this invisible, molecular biologist’s 1° 28’ per tetra and 7° 20’ per helical-cycle hinge opening.

(Footnote 2: Sinus means hollow or without in Latin.)

934.03

Unzipping occurs as the birth dichotomy and the new life breaks off from the old pattern with a perfect imprint and repeats the other’s growth pattern. These helixes have the ability to nest by virtue of the hinge-spring linkage by which one is being imprinted on the other. Positive columns nest with and imprint only upon positive helix columns and negative helix columns nest with and imprint their code pattern only with and upon negative helix columns. Therefore, when a column comes off, i.e., unzips, it is a replica of the original column.

934.04

We know that the edge angle of a tetrahedron is 70° 32’, and five times that is 352° 40’, which is 7° 20’ less than 360°. In other words, five tetrahedra around a common edge axis do not close up and make 360 degrees, because the dihedral angles are 7° 20’ short. But when they are brought together in a helix—due to the fact that a hinged helix is a coil spring—the columns will twist enough to permit the progressive gaps to be closed. No matter how long the tetrahelix columns are, their sets of coil springs will contract enough to bring them together. The backed-up spring tries constantly to unzip one nesting tetrahedron from the others of which it is a true replica. These are only synergetical conjectures as to the theoretical explanations of otherwise as yet unexplained behaviors of the DNA.

935.00 Octahedron as Conservation and Annihilation Model

[935.00-938.16 Annihilation Scenario]

935.10 Energy Flow and Discontinuity

935.11

Though classic science at the opening of the 18th century had achieved many remarkably accurate observations and calculations regarding the behaviors of light, individual scientists and their formal societies—with one notable exception-remained unaware that light (and radiation in general) has a speed. Ole Roemer (1644—1710), both Royal Astronomer and Royal Mathematician of Denmark, was that exception. Roemer’s observations of the reflected light of the revolving moons of the planet Jupiter made him surmise that light has a speed. His calculations from the observed data very closely approximated the figure for that speed as meticulously measured in vacuo two centuries later, in the Michelson-Morley experiment of 1887. Though Roemer was well accredited by the scientists and scientific societies of Europe, this hypothesis of his seemed to escape their cosmological considerations. Being overlooked, the concept did not enter into any of the cosmological formulations (either academic or general) of humanity until the 20th century.

935.12

Until the 20th century scientists in general assumed the light of all the stars to be instantaneously and simultaneously extant. Universe was an instantaneous and simultaneous system. The mid-19th-century development of thermodynamics, and in particular its second law, introduced the concept that all systems always lose energy and do so in ever-increasingly disorderly and expansive ways. The academicians spontaneously interpreted the instantaneity and simultaneity of Universe as requiring that the Universe too must be categorized as a system; the academicians assumed that as a system Universe itself must be losing energy in increasingly expansive and disorderly ways. Any expenditure of energy by humans on Earth—to whom the stars in the heavens were just so much romantic scenery; no more, no less—would hasten the end of the Universe. This concept was the foundation of classical conservatism—economic, political, and philosophical. Those who “spent” energy were abhorred.

935.13

This viewpoint was fortified by the hundred-years-earlier concept of classical science’s giant, Isaac Newton, who in his first law of motion stated that all bodies persist in a state of rest, or in a line of motion, except as affected by other bodies. This law posits a cosmic norm of at rest: change is abnormal. This viewpoint as yet persists in all the graphic-chart coordinates used by society today for plotting performance magnitudes against a time background wherein the baseline of “no change” is the norm. Change is taken spontaneously as being inherently abnormal and is as yet interpreted by many as being cause for fundamental social concern.

935.14

With the accurate measurement, in 1887, of the speed of light in vacuo, science had comprehensively new, experimentally redemonstrable challenges to its cosmogony and cosmology. Inspired by the combined discoveries of the Brownian movement, black body radiation, and the photon of light, Einstein, Planck, and others recognized that energy-as-radiation has a top speed—ergo, is finitely terminaled—but among them, Einstein seems to have convinced himself that his own cosmological deliberations should assume Boltzmann’s concept to be valid—ergo, always to be included in his own exploratory thoughts. There being no experimental evidence of energy ever being created or lost, universal energy is apparently conserved. Wherefore Boltzmann had hypothesized that energy progressively and broadcastingly exported from various localities in Universe must be progressively imported and reassembled at other localities in Universe.

935.15

Boltzmann’s concept was analogous to that upon which was developed the theory and practice of the 20th-century meteorological weather forecasting, which recognizes that our terrestrial atmosphere’s plurality of high-pressure areas are being progressively exhausted at different rates by a plurality of neighboring low-pressure areas, which accumulate atmospheric molecules and energy until they in turn become new high- pressure areas, which are next to be progressively exhausted by other newly initiated low- pressure areas. The interpatterning of the various importing-exporting centers always changes kaleidoscopically because of varying speeds of moisture formation or precipitation, speeds and directions of travel, and local thermal conditions.

935.16

Though they did not say it that way, the 20th-century leaders of scientific thinking inferred that physical Universe is apparently eternally regenerative.

935.17

Einstein assumed hypothetically that energies given off omnidirectionally with the ever-increasing disorder of entropy by all the stars were being antientropically imported, sorted, and accumulated in various other elsewheres. He showed that when radiant energy interferes with itself, it can, and probably does, tie itself precessionally into local and orderly knots. Einstein must have noted that on Earth children do not disintegrate entropically but multiply their hydrocarbon molecules in an orderly fashion; little saplings grow in an orderly way to become big trees. Einstein assumed Earthian biology to be reverse entropy. (This account does not presume to recapitulate the actual thought processes of Einstein at any given point in the development of his philosophy; rather it attempts to illustrate some of the inevitable conclusions that derive from his premises.)

935.18

What made it difficult for scientists, cosmologists, and cosmogonists to comprehend about Boltzmann’s concept—or Einstein’s implicit espousal of it—was the inherent discontinuity of energy events implicit in the photon as a closed-system package of energy. What happened to the energy when it disappeared? For disappear it did. How could it reappear elsewhere in a discontinuous system?

935.20 Precessional Transformation in Quantum Model

935.21

One quantum of energy always consists of six energy vectors, each being a combined push-pull, positive-negative force. (See Secs. 600.02 through 612.01 and Fig. 620.06.) Twelve unique forces: six plus and six minus. Six vectors break into two sets of three each. Classical engineers assumed that each action had its equal and opposite reaction at 180 degrees; but since the discovery of the speed of light and the understanding of nonsimultaneity, we find that every action has not only a reaction but also a resultant. Neither the reaction nor the resultant are angularly “opposite” in 180- degree azimuth from the direction of action. The “equal and opposite” of classical engineering meant that both action and reaction occurred in opposite directions in the same straight line in the same geometrical plane. But since the recognition of nonsimultaneity and the speed of light, it has been seen that action, reaction, and resultant vectors react omnidirectionally and precessionally at angles other than 180 degrees. (See Fig. 511.20.)

935.22

As we enter the last quarter of the 20th century, it is recognized in quantum mechanics and astrophysics that there could never have existed the traditionally assumed, a priori universal chaos, a chaos from which it was also assumed that Universe had escaped only by the workings of chance and the long-odds-against mathematical probability of a sequence of myriad-illions of coincidences, which altogether produced a universal complex of orderly evolutionary events. This nonsense was forsaken by the astrophysicists only a score of years ago, and only because science has learned in the last few decades that both the proton and the neutron always and only coexist in a most orderly interrelationship. They do not have the same mass, and yet the one can be transformed into the other by employing both of their respective two energy side effects; i.e., those of both the proton and the neutron. Both the proton and the neutron have their respective and unique two-angle-forming patterns of three interlinked lines, each representing their action, reaction, and resultant vectors.

935.221

Coming-Apart Phase: Coming-Apart Limit: The astrophysicists say that no matter how far things come apart, fundamentally they never come farther apart than proton and neutron, which always and only coexist.

935.23

Fig. 935.23 Proton and Neutron Three-vector Teams

Fig. 935.23 Proton and Neutron Three-vector Teams: The proton and neutron always and only coexist as action vectors of half-quanta associable as quantum.

Link to original

The names of the players, the positions they play, and the identifying letters they wear on the three-vector teams of proton and neutron, respectively, are identified as follows. The proton’s three-vector team consists of

1. the action vector, played by its captain, the proton, wearing the letters BD;
2. the reaction vector, played by the electron, wearing the letters AD; and
3. the resultant vector, played by the antineutrino, wearing the letters BC. The neutron’s three-vector team consists of
4. the action vector, played by its captain, the neutron, wearing the letters A C;
5. the reaction vector, played by the positron, wearing the letters CD; and
6. the resultant vector, played by the neutrino, wearing the letters AB. Either one of these two teams of three-vector events is identified in quantum mechanics as being a half-quantum (or one-half spin or one-half Planck’s constant). When two half- quanta associate, they produce one unit of quantum. (See Sec. 240.65.) These two sets of three vectors each combine to produce the six vector edges of the tetrahedron, which is the minimum structural system of Universe: one quantum of energy thus becomes structurally and systematically conceptual. (See Fig. 935.23.) One quantum of energy equals one tetrahedron. Humanist writers and broadcasters take notice that science has regained conceptuality. Science’s intertransformabilities and intercomplementarities are modelably demonstrable. The century-long chasm that has separated science and the humanities has vanished.

935.24

The tetrahedral model of the quantum as the minimum structural system of Universe is a prime component in producing the conceptual bridge to span the vast chasm identified by C. P. Snow as having for so long existed between the one percent of the world people who are scientists and the 99 percent of humanity comprehendingly communicated with by the writers in literature and the humanities. This chasm has been inadvertently sustained by the use of an exclusively mathematical language of abstract equations on the part of scientists, thus utterly frustrating the comprehension of the scientists’ work by the 99 percent of humanity that does not communicate mathematically. This book, Synergetics, contains the conceptualizing adequate to the chasm-bridging task, and it does so in vectorially structured geometry and in exclusively low-order prime numbers in rational whole-number accounting.

935.25

As an instance of chasm-spanning between science and the humanities by conceptually transformative energy-quanta accounting, synergetics conceptually elucidates the Boltzmann import-export, entropy-syntropy transaction and the elegant manner in which nature accommodates the “hidden ball” play of now-you-see-it-now-you-don’t energy transference.

936.00 Volumetric Variability with Topological Constancy

936.10 Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Contraction

936.11

An octahedron consists of 12 vector edges and two units of quantum and has a volume of four when the tetrahedron is taken as unity. (See Table 223.64.) Pulling two ends of a rope in opposite directions makes the rope’s girth contract precessionally in a plane at 90 degrees to the axis of purposeful tensing. (Sec. 1054.61.) Or if we push together the opposite sides of a gelatinous mass or a pneumatic pillow, the gelatinous mass or the pneumatic pillow swells tensively outward in a plane at 90 degrees to the line of our purposeful compressing. This 90-degree reaction—or resultant—is characteristic of precession. Precession is the effect of bodies in motion upon other bodies in motion. The gravitational pull of the Sun on the Earth makes the Earth go around the Sun in an orbit at degrees to the line of the Earth-Sun gravitational interattraction. The effect of the Earth on the Moon or of the nucleus of the atom upon its electron is to make these interattractively dependent bodies travel in orbits at 90 degrees to their mass- interattraction force lines.

936.12

Fig. 936.12 Octahedron as Conservation and Annihilation Model

Fig. 936.12 Octahedron as Conservation and Annihilation Model: If we think of the octahedron as defined by the interconnections of six closest-packed spheres, gravitational pull can make one of the four equatorial vectors disengage from its two adjacent equatorial vertexes to rotate 90 degrees and rejoin the north and south vertexes in the transformation completed as at I. (See color plate 6.)

Link to original

The octahedron represents the most commonly occurring crystallographic conformation in nature. (See Figs. 931.10 and 1054.40.) It is the most typical association of energy-as-matter; it is at the heart of such association. Any focused emphasis in the gravitational pull of the rest of the Universe upon the octahedron’s symmetry precesses it into asymmetrical deformation in a plane at 90 degrees to the axis of exaggerated pulling. This forces one of the 12 edge vectors of the octahedron to rotate at 90 degrees. If we think of the octahedron’s three XYZ axes and its six vertexes, oriented in such a manner that X is the north pole and X’ is the south pole, the other four vertexes—Y, Z, Y’, Z’—all occur in the plane of, and define, the octahedron’s equator. The effect of gravitational pull upon the octahedron will make one of the four equatorial vectors disengage from its two adjacent equatorial vertexes, thereafter to rotate 90 degrees and then rejoin its two ends with the north pole and south pole vertexes. (See Fig. 936.12 and color plate 6.)

936.13

When this precessional transformation is complete, we have the same topological inventories of six vertexes, eight exterior triangular faces, and 12 vector edges as we had before in the symmetrical octahedron; but in the process the symmetrical, four- tetrahedra-quanta-volume octahedron has been transformed into three tetrahedra (three- quanta volume) arranged in an arc section of an electromagnetic wave conformation with each of the two end tetrahedra being face bonded to the center tetrahedron. (See Sec. 982.73)

936.14

The precessional effect has been to rearrange the energy vectors themselves in such a way that we have gone from the volume-four quanta of the symmetrical octahedron to the volume-three quanta of the asymmetric tetra-arc-array segment of an electromagnetic wave pattern. Symmetric matter has been entropically transformed into asymmetrical and directionally focused radiation: one quantum of energy has seemingly disappeared. When the radiation impinges interferingly with any other energy event in Universe, precession recurs and the three-quantum electromagnetic wave retransforms syntropically into the four-quantum octahedron of energy-as-matter. And vice versa. Q.E.D. (See Fig. 936.14.)

936.15

The octahedron goes from a volume of four to a volume of three as one tensor is precessed at 90 degrees. This is a demonstration in terms of tension and compression of how energy can disappear and reappear. The process is reversible, like Boltzmann’s law and like the operation of syntropy and entropy. The lost tetrahedron can reappear and become symmetrical in its optimum form as a ball-bearing-sphere octahedron. There are six great circles doubled up in the octahedron. Compression is radiational: it reappears. Out of the fundamental fourness of all systems we have a model of how four can become three in the octahedron conservation and annihilation model.

The interior volume of the concave-vector-equilibrium-shaped space occurring interiorly between the six uniradius octahedral collection of closest-packed spheres is greater than is the concave-octahedrally-shaped space occurring interiorly between the four uniradius tetrahedral collection of closest-packed spheres, which tetrahedral collection constitutes the minimum structural system in Universe, and its interior space is the minimum interior space producible within the interstices of closest- packed uniradius spheres.

936.18

Thus the larger interior space within the omnitriangularly stable, six-vertex- ball, 12-vector-edge octahedron is subject to volumetric compressibility. Because its interior space is not minimal, as the octahedron is omniembracingly tensed gravitationally between any two or more bodies, its six balls will tend precessionally to yield transformingly to produce three closest-packed, uniradius, sphere-vertex-defined, face- bonded tetrahedra.

Fig. 936.19 Tetrahedral Quantum is Lost and Reappears in Transformation between Octahedron and Three-tetra-arc Tetrahelix: This transformation has the precessional effect of rearranging the energy vectors from 4-tetravolumes to 3-tetravolumes and reverse. The neutral symmetric octahedron rearranges itself into an asymmetric embryonic wave pattern. The four-membered individual-link continuity is a potential electromagnetic-circuitry gap closer. The furthermost ends of the tetra-arc group are alternatively vacant. (See also color plate 6.)

As we tense the octahedron, it strains until one vector (actually a double, or unity-as-two, vector) yields its end bondings and precesses at 90 degrees to transform the system into three double-bonded (face-bonded) tetrahedra in linear arc form. This tetra- arc, embryonic, electromagnetic wave is in neutral phase. The seemingly annihilated—but in fact only separated-out-quantum is now invisible because vectorless. It now becomes invisibly face-bonded as one invisible tetrahedron. The separated-out quantum is face- bonded to one of the furthermost outward triangular faces occurring at either end of the tetra-arc array of three (consisting of one tetra at the middle with each of the two adjacent tetra face-bonded to it); the fourth invisible tetrahedron is face-bonded to one or the other of the two alternatively vacant, alternatively available furthermost end faces of the tetra- arc group. With this fourth, invisible tetrahedral addition the overall triple-bonded tetrahedral array becomes either rightwardly or leftwardly spiraled to produce a four- tetrahedron tetrahelix, which is a potential, event embryo, electromagnetic-circuitry gap closer. Transmission may thereafter be activated as a connected chain of the inherently four-membered, individual-link continuity. This may explain the dilemma of the wave vs the particle. (See Sec. 973.30, Fig. 936.19, and color plates 6 and 7.)

936.20 Conceptual Conservation and Annihilation

936.21

The octahedron as the conservation and annihilation model provides an experiential and conceptual accounting for the question: What happens to entropically vanishing quanta of energy that have never been identified as discretely lost when new quanta appeared elsewhere and elsewhen? Were these appearing and disappearing quanta being encountered for the first time as we became capable of penetrating exploration of ever vaster ranges of Universe?

936.22

Boltzmann hypothesized and Einstein supported his working assumption—stated in the conceptual language of synergetics—that there can be no a priori stars to radiate entropically and visibly to the information-importing, naked eyes of Earthian humans (or to telescopes or phototelescopy or electromagnetic antennae) if there were not also invisible cosmic importing centers. The importing centers are invisible because they are not radiantly exporting; they are in varying stages of progressive retrieving, accumulating, sorting, storing, and compressing energies. The cosmic abundance of the myriads of such importing centers and their cosmic disposition in Scenario Universe exactly balances and conserves the integrity of eternally regenerative Universe.

936.23

In Scenario Universe (in contrast to a spherically-structured, normally-at- rest, celestially-concentric, single-frame-picture Universe) the episodes consist only of such frequencies as are tune-in-able by the limited-frequency-range set of the viewer.

936.24

There is no such phenomenon as space: there is only the at-present-tuned-in set of relationships and the untuned intervalling. Points are twilight-border-line, only amplitude-tuned-in (AM), directionally oriented, static squeaks or pips that, when frequency-tuned (FM), become differentially discrete and conceptually resolvable as topological systems having withinness and withoutness—ergo, at minimum having four corner-defining yet subtunable system pips or point-to-able corner loci. In systemic cosmic topology Euler’s vertexes (points) are then always only twilight energy-event loci whose discrete frequencies are untunable at the frequency range of the reception set of the observer.

937.00 Geometry and Number Share the Same Model

937.10 Midway Between Limits

937.11

The grand strategy of quantum mechanics may be described as progressive, numerically rational fractionating of the limit of total energy involved in eternally regenerative Universe.

937.12

When seeking a model for energy quanta conservation and annihilation, we are not surprised to find it in the middle ranges of the geometrical hierarchy of prime structural systems—tetrahedron, octahedron, and icosahedron (see Sec. 610.20). The tetrahedron and icosahedron are the two extreme and opposite limit cases of symmetrical structural systems: they are the minimum-maximum cosmic limits of such prime structures of Universe. The octahedron ranks in the neutral area, midway between the extremes.

937.13

The prime number characteristic of the tetrahedron is 1; the prime number characteristic of the icosahedron is 5. Both of these prime numbers—1 and 5—are odd numbers, in contradistinction to the prime number characteristic of the middle-case structural-system octahedron, which is 2, an even number and the only even numbered prime number. Again, we are not surprised to find that the octahedron is the most common crystal conformation in nature.

937.14

The tetrahedron has three triangles around each vertex; the octahedron has four; and the icosahedron has five. The extreme-limit cases of structural systems are vertexially locked by odd numbers of triangular gears, while the vertexes of the octahedron at the middle range have an even number of reciprocating triangular gears. This shows that the octahedron’s three great circles are congruent pairs—i.e., six circles that may seem to appear as only three, which quadrivalent doubling with itself is clearly shown in the jitterbug model, where the 24 vector edges double up at the octahedron phase to produce 12 double-congruent vector edges and thus two congruent octahedra. (See Fig. 460.08D.)

937.15

The octahedron is doubled-up in the middle range of the vector equilibrium’s jitterbug model; thus it demonstrates conceptually the exact middle between the macro- micro limits of the sequence of intertransformative events. The octahedron in the middle of the structural-system hierarchy provides us with a clear demonstration of how a unit quantum of energy seemingly disappears—i.e., becomes annihilated—and vice versa.

937.21

The octahedron always exhibits the quality of doubleness. When the octahedron first appears in the symmetrical contraction of the vector equilibrium jitterbug system, it appears with all of its vectors doubled (see Fig. 460.08D). It also takes two sets of three great circles each to fold the octahedron. You might think you could do it with one set of three great circles, but the foldability of the octahedron requires two sets of three great circles each. (See Secs. 835 and 836.) There are always six great circles doubled up in the octahedron to reappear only as three. (See Fig. 937.20.)

937.22

And we also recall that the octahedron appears as the prime number 2 in the geometrical hierarchy, while its volume is 4 when the tetrahedron is taken as volumetric units (see Table 223.64). The tetrahedron’s prime number identity is 1 The octahedron’s prime number identity is 2 Both cubes and rhombic dodecahedra are 3 And icosahedra and vector equilibria are 5 They first occur volumetrically, respectively, as $1,4,3,6,18.51,20$

937.30 Octahedron as Sphere of Compression

937.31

The slenderness ratio in gravitationally tensed functioning has no minimum overall limit of its structural-system length, as compared to the diameter of the system’s midlength cross section; ergo,

$\frac{\text{tensile length}}{\text{diameter}}=\frac{\text{alpha}}{0}$

In crystalline compression structures the column length minimum limit ratio is 40/1. There may be a length/diameter compression-system-limit in hydraulics, but we do not as yet know what it is. The far more slender column/diameter ratio attainable with hydraulics permits the growth of a palm tree to approach the column/diameter ratio of steel columns. We recognize the sphere—the ball bearing, the spherical island— column/diameter = 1/1 constituting the optimal, crystalline, compressive-continuity, structural-system model. (See Fig. 641.01.) The octahedron may be considered to be the optimum crystalline structural representation of the spherical islands of compression because it is double-bonded and its vectors are doubled

938.00 Jitterbug Transformation and Annihilation

938.10 Positive and Negative Tetrahedra

938.11

The tetrahedron is the minimum-limit-case structural system of Universe (see Secs. 402 and 620). The tetrahedron consists of two congruent tetrahedra: one concave, one convex. The tetrahedron divides all of Universe into all the tetrahedral nothingness of all the cosmic outsideness and all the tetrahedral nothingness of all the cosmic insideness of any structurally conceived or sensorially experienced, special case, uniquely considered, four-starry-vertex-constellared, tetrahedral system somethingness of human experience, cognition, or thinkability.

938.12

The tetrahedron always consists of four concave-inward hedra triangles and of four convex-outward hedra triangles: that is eight hedra triangles in all. (Compare Fig. 453.02.) These are the same eight—maximally deployed from one another—equiangular triangular hedra or facets of the vector equilibrium that converge to differential inscrutability or conceptual zero, while the eight original triangular planes coalesce as the four pairs of congruent planes of the zero-volume vector equilibrium, wherein the eight exterior planes of the original eight edge-bonded tetrahedra reach zero-volume, eightfold congruence at the center point of the four-great-circle system. (Compare Fig. 453.02.)

(See also color plate 7.)

Link to original

The original—only vertexially single-bonded, vectorially structured—triangles of the vector-equilibrium jitterbug transform by symmetrical contraction from its openmost vector-equilibrium state, through the (unstable-without-six- additional-vector inserts; i.e., one vectorial quantum unit) icosahedral stage only as accommodated by the nuclear sphere’s annihilation, which vanished central sphere reappears transformedly in the 30-vector-edged icosahedron as the six additional external vectors added to the vector equilibrium to structurally stabilize its six “square” faces, which six vectors constitute one quantum package. (See Fig. 938.13.)

938.14

Next the icosahedron contracts symmetrically to the congruently vectored octahedron stage, where symmetrical contraction ceases and precessional torque reduces the system to the quadrivalent tetrahedron’s congruent four positive and four negative tetrahedra. These congruent eight tetrahedra further precess into eight congruent zero- altitude tetrahedral triangles in planar congruence as one, having accomplished this contraction from volume 20 of the vector equilibrium to volume 0 while progressively reversing the vector edges by congruence, reducing the original 30 vector edges (five quanta) to zero quanta volume with only three vector edges, each consisting of eight congruent vectors in visible evidence in the zero-altitude tetrahedron. And all this is accomplished without ever severing the exterior, gravitational-embracing bond integrity of the system. (See Figs. 461.08 and 1013.42.)

The octahedron is produced by one positive and one negative tetrahedron. This is done by opening one vertex of each of the tetrahedra, as the petals of a flower are opened around its bud’s vertex, and taking the two open-flowered tetrahedra, each with three triangular petals surrounding a triangular base, precessing in a positive-negative way so that the open triangular petals of each tetrahedron approach the open spaces between the petals of the other tetrahedron, converging them to produce the eight edge-bonded triangular faces of the octahedron. (See Fig. 938.15.)

Fig. 938.16 Octahedron Produced from Precessed Edges of Tetrahedron: An octahedron may be produced from a single tetrahedron by detaching the tetra edges and precessing each of the faces 60 degrees. The sequence begins at A and proceeds through BCD at arrive at E with an octahedron of four positive triangular facets interspersed symmetrically with four empty triangular windows. From F through I the sequence returns to the original tetrahedron.

Link to original

Because the octahedron can be produced by one positive and one negative tetrahedron, it can also be produced by one positive tetrahedron alone. It can be produced by the four edge-bonded triangular faces of one positive tetrahedron, each being unbonded and precessed 60 degrees to become only vertex-interbonded, one with the other. This produces an octahedron of four positive triangular facets interspersed symmetrically with four empty triangular windows. (See Fig. 938.16.)
