Our scenario, titled “Experimentally Certified Scientific Proofs,” opens with a child standing outdoors, glancing all around, pausing to look more intently at an aggregate of generalized somethings, and finally focusing upon a special case something:
- a point-to-ability
- a surface of something
- a substance having “insideness and outsideness.” The smallest thing we know of__the atom__has a withinness nucleus and one or more withoutness electrons.
- a big something fastened to the Earth
- picture of the Matterhorn
- minimum of three faces around a corner
- child breaks off piece of something
- separate individual “things”
- child takes hammer and breaks rock
- nature breaks big rocks
- humans blast apart rock cliff with dynamite
- picture of rocks on Earth
- picture of rocks on Moon
- picture of rocks on Mars
- picture of big rocks broken into smaller rocks.
- picture of small rocks broken into sand
- picture of sandy beach
- picture of individual grains of sand
- minimum separable something has a minimum of four corners, each surrounded by a minimum of three faces; each face is surrounded at minimum by three edges. “Minimum somethings” consist altogether of a minimum of four corners, four faces, six edges, 12 angles, insideness, outsideness, concavity, convexity, and two poles of spinnability__a minimum total of 32 unique geometrical features (Sec. 1044))
- picture of one tetrahedron
- picture of tetrahedron turning inside out in four different ways as each of four corner vertexes plunges through their respective four opposite triangular openings to produce four different positive and four different negative tetrahedra, for a total of eight different tetrahedra
- picture of four great circle planes of tetrahedron all going through a common center to produce both the zero volume tetrahedron and the vector equilibrium’s eight tetrahedra with only nuclear-congruent vertexes
- minimum of four cosmically different tetrahedra:
- the tuned-in, at-presently-considered-complex system__a tetrahedral time-size somethingness
- the infra-tuned-in micro-tetra-nothingness
- the ultra-tuned-in macro-tetra-nothingness
- the metaphysical, only primitively conceptual, timeless-sizeless tetra.
