Frequency in Synergetics

Frequency is a subtle concept in Synergetics, unlike in geodesic dome & sphere architecture, where counting struts from pentagon to pentagon, along a geodesic, gives the number, i.e. the frequency of said structure.

But what about Bucky Fuller's "Eureka!" formula 10 FF + 2, where FF is a growing / shrinking triangle of edges F.  There's a cuboctahedral and/or icosahedral number sequence around here somewhere, which takes us back to the icosasphere of paragraph one.  When F=1, that's 12-around-1, a signature starting point once adjacent spheres become involves?

What?  That all sounded way to complicated.  Consider the sequence 12, 42, 92, 162... those are successive layers of balls around a nuclear ball.  The picture is one of growing outward, though one might just as well hold radius constant and say we're subdividing, getting more meticulous.

Once inside the nucleus itself (inside the atom) i.e. once a single CCP (= IVM) ball becomes the core focus, we cross a line.  Now we're in subfrequency or even zero-frequency territory in Synergetics. The super and sub scripts start using 0 a lot.  There's even a 0/2.

This is all because whereas the XYZ origin is inert, and pretty much the same anywhere, as good as irrelevant, in terms of where it is to begin with, the "Cabal of Polyhedra" that Bucky is vested in has a singularity at its center, a zerophase novent where we don't pause, anymore than Universe itself is unitarily conceptual.  Not in Synergetics it isn't.  There's a pass-through no stopping zero, surround be a vector equilibrium that's half not of this world.

311.18 We may logically assume that the intellectual cosmic integrity of the timeless, sublime integral of absolute perfection must continually test its integrity of eternal regenerativity; wherefore the integral that we inadequately identify as god requires a plurality of local sensing monitors to be omnideployed in the time-distance-differentiated, nonsimultaneously conceptual, serial Universe to continually observe the local Universe events, while also being progressively advantaged with an ever larger inventory of the discovered laws governing cosmic regeneration integrity, and thus equipped, to cope metaphysically with each of the profusion of unprecedentedly unique regenerative complexities that we speak of as problems. In effect god differentiates cosmic integrity into a time-distance-differentiated plurality of limited, local, metaphysical, intellectual experiences with which to test the capability of "god" to reintegrate and restore its timeless zerophase unity.

By "this world" I mean "this side of the dumbbell or bow tie" -- we're picturing a symmetry that's reached "through the middle" on both sides, a singularity or sorts and pulses in and out between two worlds, "this world" and this "other world" that share a transformational out-of-time inside-outing inflection point at their common origin.

What all this means might be put on a shelf as an abstract model.  Any time you need two worlds linked by a singularity, call it a Narnia Lamp, here's a candidate model.  It pulses outward as a jitterbug and reaches an extreme and continues on back to a point of origin, goes through an eye of the needle, then pulses outward in a symmetrical fashion, in this inside-out space.  Fuller symbolized this "bow tie" shape with a "bow tie" symbol.  I also tended to wear a bow tie.

Again, the language is one of generic patterns, one that sets the stage for a drama without specifying the drama. The programming comes next, as Frequency.  The subfrequency discussion is more about Angle, i.e. the structure of logic as if logic were a purely right-brained affair, best symbolized by shapes.  The left brain wants nothing of it.  The security of a strong symbolry, a lexical anchor, is not enough.

 Enter Q-rays, maybe, at least as an alternative to XYZ with its passive / dormant origin-center.  Q-rays are free to take on the volatility of Synergetics, the fire, and shoot out in two worlds, one positive, one negative, but without privileging either as more than the other.  Equanimity is pinned between them, as where going in becomes and outwardly expansive movement.  We shrank to nothing in order to be reborn in a next space.

Q-rays, if you don't know, are {a, b, c, 0} permutations, only positive scaling required to span space.  The four basis vectors shoot outward dividing the world into four quadrants.  XYZ, in contrast, uses six rays to subdivide space into eight octants.  Negative scaling may be used to hint at a singularity inversion point of a type we don't find in the conventional Cartesian model, although we do find a cogito in the same field, going inward meditatively to discover the most general of generalizations.  Cogito ergo sum and all that.

    440.09 Zerophase: Being the zerophase of energy the vector equilibrium is inherently invisible and non-empirically-discoverable, which accounts for its having been for so long unrecognized as the spontaneous equilibrious model. As specialists, scientists seek only the somethings. The vector equilibrium is the only model of nonbeing zero-inflection at the nonmoment of omniintertransformabilities, where anything can happen and must happen single- atomically within and multiatomically without. Specializing science...

    440.10 The vector equilibrium is the most abstract of all the always-and- only abstract scientific generalizations, for it is the heart of all interrelationships existing between — and not in or of — any of all the empirically apprehended intertransforms of the ever-and-everywhere intertransforming Scenario Universe. The vector equilibrium is the zerophase — ergo, inexpressible— interrelationship of all Universe events.
