203.07 Synergetics discloses the excruciatingawkwardness characterizing present-day mathematical

treatment of the interrelationships of the independent

scientific disciplines as originally occasioned by their mutual

and separate lack of awareness of the existence of acomprehensive, rational, coordinating system inherent in

nature.

Synergetics: Explorations in the Geometry of Thinking

200.03 Since physical Universe is

entirely energetic, all dimension must beenergetic. Synergetics is energeticgeometry since it identifies energy withnumber. Energetic geometry employs 60-degree coordination because that is

nature’s way to closest-pack spheres.

System

400.011 A system is the first subdivision of Universe. It divides allthe Universe into six parts;

The system itself Everything outsideEverything insideEverything beforeEverything after

Everything occurring at the same time


12/22

The Tenets of Synergetics

There are no straight lines or indivisible points

Inside and outside are the only directions

The tetrahedron is the building block of Universe

Vectors = Size

Every vector is reversible, having a negative alternate

Minimum System Requirements

401.06 ... It takes six external push vectors and sixexternal pull vectors to define the minimum structural

system: a primary subdivision of universe.{AKA: a tetrahedron}

Time to get deep...

223.85 Planck’s constant, h, denotes the minimum energy-as-radiation increment known experimentally by humans to

be employed by nature.

h = 6.6 X 10^(-27) grams per square centimeter persecond

{as derived using XYZ rectilinear frame of reference}

{as derived using Synergetics’ 60-degree angular topology}VS

E (the energy quantum of one photon) = 20F^(2)

Wait... what?

Volume of vector equilibrium = 20 tetrahedrons

Volume of cube = 3 tetrahedrons

20/3 = 6.6

Converting from a rectilinear to an omni-triangulated coordinatesystem removes the need for irrational numbers

Now what?

Bucky’s Principles for Making the World Work 1) Think comprehensively - zoom out2) Anticipate the future3) Respect gestation rates - accelerating acceleration4) Envision the best possible future5) Be a “Trim Tab” { a small rudder used to turn the larger rudder of giant ships -- a rudder’s rudder }

a) know what ship you are steering b) know in what direction your ship is heading c) know what outside forces are affecting your ship d) decide where your ship ought to be going e) know where to exert pressure most efficiently f) know how to efficiently exert pressure

e) learn how to continually navigate successfully through changing tides6) Take individual initiative

7) Ask the obvious and naive questions - What is wealth? 8) Do more with less9) Seek to reform the environment, not man10) Solve problems through action
