900.00 MODELABILITY (original) (raw)

954.43 The uniquely asymmetrical octahedron is always uniformly composed of exactly eight asymmetrical, allspace-filling, double-isosceles tetrahedra, the Mites, which in turn consist of AAB three-quanta modules each. Though outwardly conformed identically with one another, the Mites are always either positively or negatively biased internally in respect to their energy valving (amplifying, choking, cutting off, and holding) proclivities, which are only "potential" when separately considered, but operationally effective as interassociated within the allspace-filling, uniquely asymmetrical octahedron, and even then muted (i.e., with action suspended as in a holding pattern) until complexes of such allspace-filling and regeneratively circuited energy transactions are initiated.
954.44 The cosmically minimal, allspace-filling Mites' inherent bias results from their having always one A + and one A - triple-bonded (i.e., face-bonded) to constitute a symmetrical isosceles (two-module) but non-allspace-filling tetrahedron to either one of the two external faces, of which either one B + or one B -can be added to provide the allspace-filling, semisymmetrical double-isosceles, triple right-angled, three-moduled Mite, with its positive and negative bias sublimatingly obscured by the fact that either the positive or the negative quantum biasing add together to produce the same overall geometrical space-filling tetrahedral form, despite its quanta-biased composition. This obscurity accounts for its heretofore unbeknownstness to science and with that unbeknownstness its significance as the conceptual link between the heretofore remote humanists and the scientists' cerebrating, while with its discovery comes lucidly conceptual comprehension of the arithmetical and geometrical formings of the whole inventory of the isotopes of all the atoms as explained by the allspace-filling variety of internal and external associabilities and reorientings permitted within and without the respective local octant-filling of the, also in-turn, omni-space-filling, uniquely asymmetrical octahedron, the Coupler.
954.45 As learned in Sections953 and954, one plus-biased Mite and one minus- biased Mite can be face-bonded with one another in three different allspace-filling ways, yet always producing one energy-proclivity-balanced, six-quanta-moduled, double- isosceles, allspace-filling, asymmetrical tetrahedron: the Syte. The asymmetric octahedron can also be composed of four such balanced-bias Sytes (4 As__2 + , 2- __and 2 Bs__1 + , 1 -). Since there are eight always one-way-or-the-other-biased Mites in each uniquely asymmetrical octahedron, the latter could consist of eight positively biased or eight negatively biased Mites, or any omnigeometrically permitted mixed combination of those 16 (24) cases.
954.46 There are always 24 modules (16 As and 8 Bs__of which eight As are always positive and the eight other As are always negative, while the eight Bs consist of any of the eight possible combinations of positives and negatives)5in our uniquely asymmetrical octahedron. It is important to note that this 24 is the same 24-module count as that of the 24-A-moduled regular tetrahedron. We have named the uniquely asymmetrical octahedron the Coupler. (Footnote 5: 8 all plus0 minus 7 plus1 minus 6 plus2 minus 5 plus3 minus 4 plus4 minus 3 plus5 minus 2 plus6 minus 1 plus7 minus 0 plus8 minus These combinations accommodate the same bow-tie wave patterns of the Indigs (see Sec. 1223). This eight-digited manifold is congruent with the Indig bow-tie wave --another instance of the congruence of number and geometry in synergetics. Because of the prime quanta functioning of the allspace-filling Mites, we observe an elegant confirmation of the omniembracing and omnipermeative pattern integrities of synergetics.)
954.47 We give it the name the Coupler because it always occurs between the adjacently matching diamond faces of all the symmetrical allspace-filling rhombic dodecahedra, the "spherics" (of 96 As and 48 Bs). The rhombic dodecahedron has the maximum number (12) of identical (diamond) faces of all the allspace-filling, unit edge length, symmetrical polyhedra. That is, it most nearly approaches sphericity, i.e., the shortest-radiused, symmetrical, structural, polyhedral system. And each rhombic dodecahedron exactly embraces within its own sphere each of all the closest-packed unit radius spheres of Universe, and each rhombic dodecahedron's volumetric center is congruent with the volumetric center of its enclosed sphere, while the rhombic dodecahedron also embracingly accounts, both congruently and symmetrically, for all the isotropic-vector-matrix vertexes in closest-packed and all their "between spaces." The rhombic dodecahedra are the unique cosmic domains of their respectively embraced unit radius closest-packed spheres. The center of area, K, of each of the 12 external diamond faces of each rhombic dodecahedron is always congruent with the internal center of volume (tangent sphere's kissing points), K, of all the allspace-filling uniquely asymmetrical octahedra.
954.48 Thus the uniquely asymmetrical octahedra serve most economically to join, or couple, the centers of volume of each of the 12 unit radius spheres tangentially closest packed around every closest packed sphere in Universe, with the center of volume of that omnisurrounded, ergo nuclear, sphere. However the asymmetrical, octahedral coupler has three axes (X, Y, M), and only its X axis is involved in the most economical intercoupling of the energy potentials centered within all the closest-packed unit radius spheres. The Y and M axes also couple two alternative sets of isotropic-vector-matrix centers. The M axis coupling the centers of volume of the concave vector equilibria shaped between closest- packed sphere spaces, and the Y axis interconnecting all the concave octahedral between spaces of unit-radius closest-packed sphere aggregates, both of which concave between- sphere spaces become spheres as all the spheres__as convex vector equilibria or convex octahedra-transform uniformly, sumtotally, and coincidentally into concave-between-unit- radius-sphere spaces. The alternate energy transmitting orientations of the locally contained A and B Quanta Modules contained within the 12 couplers of each nuclear set accommodate all the atomic isotope formulations and all their concomitant side effects.
954.56 Neatly seated in the diamond-rimmed valley of the rhombic dodecahedron, the unique asymmetrical octahedron's Z axis is congruent with the short diagonal, and its Y axis is congruent with the long diagonal of the diamond-rimmed valley in the rhombic dodecahedron's face into which it is seated. This leaves the X axis of the uniquely asymmetrical octahedron running perpendicular to the diamond face of the diamond- rimmed valley in which it so neatly sits; and its X axis runs perpendicularly through the K point, to join together most economically and directly the adjacent hearts (volumetric centers) of all adjacently closest-packed, unit radius spheres of Universe. That is, the X axes connect each nuclear sphere heart with the hearts of the 12 spheres closest-packed around it, while the Y axis, running perpendicularly to the X axis, most economically joins the hearts (volumetric centers) of the only circumferentially adjacent spheres surrounding the nuclear sphere at the heart of the rhombic dodecahedron, but not interconnecting with those nuclear spheres' hearts. Thus the Y axes interlink an omnisymmetrical network of tangential, unit-radius spheres in such a manner that each sphere's heart is interconnected with the hearts of only six symmetrically interarrayed tangentially adjacent spheres. This alternate interlinkage package of each-with-six, instead of(six-with-twelve, other adjacent spheres, leaves every other space in a closest-packed, isotropic-vector-matrixed Universe centrally unconnected from its heart with adjacent hearts, a condition which, discussed elsewhere, operates in Universe in such a way as to permit two of the very important phenomena of Universe to occur: (1) electromagnetic wave propagations, and (2) the ability of objects to move through or penetrate inherently noncompressible fluid mediums. This phenomenon also operates in such a manner that, in respect to the vertexes of isotropic vector matrixes, only every other one becomes the center of a sphere, and every other vertex becomes the center of a nonsphere of the space interspersing the spheres in closest packing, whereby those spaces resolve themselves into two types__concave vector equilibria and concave octahedra. And, whenever a force is applied to such a matrix every sphere becomes a space and every space becomes a sphere, which swift intertransforming repeats itself as the force encounters another sphere, whereby the sphere vanishes and the resulting space is penetrated.
954.72 There being three axes__the X, Y, and M sets of obverse-reverse, polar- viewed systems of eight__each eight has 28 relationships, which makes a total of three times 28 = 84 integral axially regenerated, and 8 face-to-face regenerated K-to-K couplings, for a total of 92 relationships per Coupler. However, as the inspection and enumeration shows, each of the three sets of 28, and one set of 8 unique, hold-or-transmit potentials subgroup themselves into geometrical conditions in which some provide energy intertransmitting facilities at four different capacity (quantum) magnitudes: 0, 1, 2, 4 (note: 4 = 22), and in three axial directions. The X-X' axis transmits between__or interconnects__every spheric center with one of its 12 tangentially adjacent closest-packed spheres.
955.02 On the other hand, the vector equilibrium is the one and only unique symmetric polyhedron inherently recurring as a uniformly angled, centrially triangulated, complex collection of tetrahedra and half-octahedra, while also constituting the simplest and first order of nuclear, isotropically defined, uniformly modulated, inward-outward- and-around, vector-tensor structuring, whereby the vector equilibrium of initial frequency, i.e., "plus and minus one" equilibrium, is sometimes identified only as "potential," whose uniform-length 24 external chords and 12 internal radii, together with its 12 external vertexes and one central vertex, accommodates a galaxy of 12 equiradiused spheres closest packed around one nuclear sphere, with the 13 spheres' respective centers omnicongruent with the vector equilibrium's 12 external and one internal vertex.
955.12 On the other hand, when we complete the second vector equilibrium shell, we add 3,360 modules to the vector equilibrium's initial integral inventory of 480 modules, which makes a total of 3,840 modules present. This means that whereas only 1,872 modules are necessary to entirely enclose 12 spheres closest packed around one sphere, by using 12 rhombic dodecahedra closest packed around one rhombic dodecahedron, these 13 rhombic dodecahedra altogether produce a knobby, 14-valleyed, polyhedral star complex.
955.30 **Possible Relevance to Periodic Table of the Elements:**These are interesting numbers because the 28/l44ths and the 116/144ths, reduced to their least common denominator, disclose two prime numbers, i.e.,seven and twenty-nine, which, together with the prime numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, and 13, are already manifest in the rational structural evolvement with the modules' discovered relationships of unique nuclear events. This rational emergence of the prime numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 13, and 29 by whole structural increments of whole unit volume modules has interesting synergetic relevance to the rational interaccommodation of all the interrelationship permutation possibilities involved in the periodic table of the 92 regenerative chemical elements, as well as in all the number evolvements of all the spherical trigonometric function intercalculations necessary to define rationally all the unique nuclear vector-equilibrium intertransformabilities and their intersymmetric-phase maximum aberration and asymmetric pulsations.
