Mr. Chester was certainly impressed when I called him back within hours with all your references. I told him internet is pretty cool, especially with people like Joe Moore around. I thought I'd copied all your poopsheets to disk. Searching pulled up the POLARIZED OCTAHEDRA STRUCTURES no problemo, but didn't find FULLER'S OCTAHEDRA STRUCTURES. Didn't get the LOG either -- I think Mr. Chester will be happy with what he's getting. I'm mailing a printout as well. How's that for service!

Imagine every other non-horizontal strut is extendable like a portable radio antenna. Rotate 180 degrees (clock- or counterclock-wise) the top triangle until it is also pointing toward you. The octahedron is now said to be polarized (both poles pointing in the same direction). You are now looking at an omni-triangulated PRISM (in Bucky-speak). The top triangle can be made smaller and/or it could be pulled away from the bottom triangle, in which case it becomes an irregular, tapered, polarized octahedron. And of course the tension and compression forces can be separated out, making it a tensegrity octahedron. And lastly, the stretched polarized octahedra can be vertical or horizontal. All kinds of structures can be envisioned: Trusses, struts, buildings, towers, etc. See the POct.... series of pictures: POctApts Horizintal Structures POctBldg Vertical Structures POctModl Models: Regular vs Polarized POctPyra Vertical Pyramid POctTrus Horizontal Truss or Beam POct_Sky Vertical Skyscraper 2) Through the Inter-Library Loan Service of my local library, I was able to view volumes 1 and 2 in the library only (couldn't take home) for one week. My impression is that SD should be converted into a database which in turn would be the basis for an interactive multimedia CD. I never got around to looking at volumes 3 and 4. I would like to get a copy of the appendices. 3) The database that I use is Superbase Professional 4 (v1.01 for the Amiga) by Precision Software Ltd. (England). It can import & export 5 file types: ASCII Delimited ASCII Fixed Length dBase II dBase III Enable It can also import & export to 4 spreadsheets: Excel Lotus 1-2-3 Logistix/Superplan DIF Lables can be included or not. Order can be ascending or decending. 4) I will have to go into LOG1094 of the ARCHIVE and extract the exact names that I gave each Poopsheet when I uploaded them. I neglected to keep a record of their EXACT names. Must of been in a hurry. 5) I've always wished that a MASTER BUCKY INDEX existed. It would index everything that he authored--books, articles, intros, forewords, contributions, audiotapes, videotapes, etc. Some of his books have indexes and the 43 Hours audio/video tapes have detailed logs, but most of the material doesn't have index and there is no combined index.

Domebooks 1, 2, and 3 (the latter was a chapter in a subsequent book [Shelter] by the same author) have, I believe, been out of print for almost 20 years. I have seen all three in the local (Houston) public library. Random House is the publisher. Given that the books are out of print, your best bet will probably be to photocopy them from a library (if you're a purist for copyright compliance, you probably can get permission from Random House to do so for a nominal fee). I suggest running a search on the OCLC database to find a library near you that has them. ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 4 Nov 1994 18:17:51 -0600 Reply-To: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: "David Buttrick NSI, Inc."

Check your local libraries. If they don't have it, request it through the Inter-Library Loan Service. If you want to buy it, the Buckminster Fuller Institute in Santa Barbara probably has some copies for sale. E-mail a request for their catalog to BFI@aol.com.

READ COSMOGRAPHY[3] Introduction This paper discusses computer computation, quantum physics, and synergetic geometry and attempts to apply a common pattern from quantum physics and synergetics to a new computation paradigm. As part of the introduction these topics are explained below. A) Computation is the act of following a step-by-step procedure (algorithm) which eventually leads to some sought after result. During a computation, variables are used to store intermediate results and conditional execution of "segments" allow for more than one result for dealing with varied inputs. Computational complexity provides a measure of the amount of time required for given computation sequences. B) Quantum physics deals with the sub-atomic interactions that operate in the scenario universe. The theories of quantum physics are applied to produce materials of the utmost complexity. C) Synergetics can be explained as follows: "Synergetics shows how we may measure our experiences geometrically and topologically and how we may employ geometry and topology to coordinate all information regarding our experiences, both metaphysical and physical"[1]. I have three different possible 'purpose' statements, and upon deciding how to convey the information best, it will become one. --- The claim that I will make is that synergetics can be applied to quantum physics and used as a bases for computer calculations to produce a new computational paradigm, and some useful tools. ---- ---- The purpose then, of this report is to introduce the idea of synergetic geometry to the science of computation. Another purpose is to promote research into the aforementioned area. Especially funded research for myself, possibly within a company, or as a partner in a business, and / or at a research institute. ---- ---- The intent is to show a sound connection between a different view of computation, the quantum mechanisms operative in universe and the synergetic geometry discovered by R. Buckminster Fuller. By understanding and computing with those same 'interactions' that manifest themselves in the quantum physics, we will get the payback of being able to more accurately control the physical phenomena that make up our products and services. ---- I am committed to using the nomenclature that Fuller developed in synergetics, so any improper use in this report is an error and hopefully can be remedied through successive drafts. Computational Complexity Computational complexity has to do with reasoning about how long a computation will take, or how much space will be used. To do this type of analysis we need an algorithm to analyze. This algorithm will in most cases operate on some input to produce some type of output. We can then make statements about the length of the computation based on the size of the input; for example, if the input is size n, we might say the algorithm takes time n**3 (n cubed), roughly meaning that n**3 operations are required on average to get a favorable result. If any process can be described by an algorithm, the time and space complexity of the algorithm can be calculated. Some process models may have a complexity that say's it will take years or decades (or more) to calculate a result, given an input of reasonable size. Obviously, we currently do not want to actually run a program like this (or if we run it, we do not want to wait for it to finish). Computational complexity is due to having to 'calculate' everything. Calculations use input(s) to get a result. When we model something, if we want to know the location of an item at t2, we start with information at t1 and calculate t2 information based on what we have. This calculation takes more than one step, which when added together with other calculations, keeps us from modelling certain type of phenomena, for instance the grand challenge problems[14] such as "climate modeling, fluid turbulence, pollution dispersion, human genome, ocean circulation, quantum chromodynamics, semiconductor modeling, superconductor modeling, combustion systems, vision and cognition"[15]. Instead (of calculating), if we used the computation system to transform the 'information' from one 'state' to the next, this can be accomplished in unit time; where unit time says that the computation consumes few clock ticks, like an addition. Now we just need to map the 'state space' to the problem at hand. If the problem at hand is that of modelling a section of an ocean, each successive state of the computation system maps to a state that the section of the ocean is in. The problem now becomes one of the mapping between the problem and the computation space. Really, all we need are the mapping and transformational rules, and we must keep in mind that transformations in both the problem space and computation system need to occur in unit time. Let's setup an example, and call it a computational synergetic geometry (csg). It could also be more appropriately described as a Synergetic Energy Transformational System. In this example, as with other informational transformational systems which process 'energy' in unit time, the initialization is the biggest step, and this operation will require more than unit time. During the example I will refer to the input as 'energy', and processing units as 'structures'. The setup will consist of constructing a geometrical frame within which all transformations take place. This geometrical frame can also transform during the processing. The frame will be composed of structures, which are composed of quanta. As energy enters the system, the structures absorb and release energy according to our transformational rules. These rules should be setup to neither destroy energy nor create energy, only allow it to flow. This system can now process energy in unit time. Applying some computational direction into the csg will allow for the development of patterns. All computation within the csg will be integer arithmetic. Nature does not use irrational numbers, only integers[6], so our csg shall do same. This csg is not like a neural network configuration, but not totally unlike it, because it is definitely not a model based on only planer interconnections. This csg is not like a cellular automata, because it is not simply due to relationships with neighbors of a planer surface, but has energy interactions at multiple angles; exhibiting 12 degrees of freedom (6+ positive and 6- negative). Fuller's description of an energy event: "There are six positive and six negative degrees of functional transformational freedoms, which provide 12 alternative ways in which nature can behave most economically upon each and every energy-event occurrence. You have six vectors or none for every energy event"[1]. Why Change the Basis of Computation There are two distinct reasons that I see for changing the way we do computations. First of all there is an opportunity to configure our computing space in such a way that the structure of the "information" (or objects as explained in the research initiative section) provides more information than can be gathered by adding all the parts together. In this way the 'whole' is greater than the sum of the parts and we have produced some synergy in our system (synergy means that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, and is the only word that describes this[6]). Using standard mathematical techniques that simply sum up the parts to describe the system will never achieve any amount of synergy. The second reason for changing our computation methods is to get synergetics into the mainstream scientific and cultural systems. If synergetics can be shown to be an effective tool for computing (and obviously I think it can), then this demonstration will have more effect on the way other disciplines reason about the phenomena they study, than synergetics would if it was adopted by some other discipline first. For example, if atomic physicists began using synergetics with great success, other people would say that "we can not possibly understand what they do, after all they are physicists", and as such other disciplines would not rush to use these new techniques as quickly. Quantum Physical Interactions The universe operates at the frequency of light. Quantum mechanic interactions operate at the speed of light. The study of quantum mechanics (QM) is concerned with the fundamental makeup of matter. QM studies the sub-atomic realm of the atomic nuclei and particle interactions. QM theories say that the parts of atoms referred to as electrons, neutrons and protons are actually made up of other particles called quarks, the building blocks of matter. All QM studies presuppose that there are transformational rules operative in universe, and the purpose of studying QM is to find those rules. These transformational rules dictate the way the sub-atomic realm can behave; in this way physics suggests a somewhat deterministic type behavior of universe at the microscopic level. Newer theories in quantum physics say that space is not at all continuous, but rather like a lattice of points. This is quite a statement, it implies that all energy flow in any system can only travel along this lattice, the structure dictates the possible flows. Along with 'lattice-space', physicist are saying that space also contains strings at the lowest level, which are the transportation media for all energy interactions. The synergetic geometry takes all these theories into account. The lattice-type structure that is postulated by physicists after many experiments in which they smash particles together at high speed using very advanced equipment, is exactly that geometry allowed within synergetics. The strings of string theory are exactly the connections within that geometry representing the tensegrity, and the transformational rules that are all elusive, are exactly those interactions of modules within structures as presented in Synergetics and Synergetics 2. Strings represent the tensegrity of universe. "Fuller coined the term tensegrity from a contraction of two words: tension and integrity. Tension occurs when something is stretched or pulled. Integrity is a state of wholeness or completeness. Tensegrity describes structures whose shape is maintained by a continuous tensional network. Fuller envisioned tensegrity structures as a revolutionary new building technique and as a model for all natural structures"[16]. "In a tensegrity structure, radiation/matter is modelled by the discontinuous struts, and gravitation is modelled by the continuous network of wires underlying the structure. This model reconciles these two disparate elements into a single unified field. No other known model does so"[3]. Using Synergetic-Energetic Geometry Synergy: behavior of whole systems unpredicted by behavior of the parts. The best example[6] of synergy is that of mass attraction. Nothing about a single object predicts that when there are two objects, there is a gravitational attraction between those objects inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Entropic / Syntropic The basic assumption in most scientific disciplines is that physical systems tend to become disorderly. Entropy is a measure of how much a system tends to disorder, or chaos. Much time is spent by physicists in trying to explain how things (or systems) stay together, when it seems obvious that everything continues to try to pull apart (e.g. become disorderly, without pattern). Radiation is an entropic force. Syntropy is the complement of entropy, in that it is a measure of how much a system tends to stay together. The syntropy of the universe is just as strong, if not stronger than the entropy of the universe. Gravity is a syntropic force. The underlying geometry of the universe encourages syntropic forces by restricting the allowable movements and thus tending systems to interact and maintain their pattern; rather than falling apart. Computing with Modules - Jitterbug The jitterbug model shows how an icosahedron (icosa) collapses into an octahedron (octa) and can collapse further into a tetrahedron (tetra). >From the icosa stage the jitterbug can also expand to (and always through) the vector equilibrium and then collapse the other direction into a octa. This will be a possible basis for how our csg (computational synergetic geometry) will process energy, so we can lay out some possible transformation rules: icosa - energy => octa octa + energy => icosa icosa + energy => (through vector equilibrium) => icosa +energy These transformational rules will be observed behavior only. The real computation / interaction has to happen at a lower level. - Modules & Structure The geometry of synergetics has many levels of detail. The outer structures are composed of constituent parts. This description goes down to the level of modules; where modules are combined to produce mites and eventually produce structures. The only structures in universe are tetrahedron, octahedron and icosahedron; all others are combinations of these. - T-modules as discussed with David Koski[9] Another synergetics researcher explained how he has found a way to use the T-modules of synergetics to explain how some of the transformations of the jitterbug can occur. The technique uses the "golden ratio" to maintain proportioning during the transformation from four-fold symmetry to five-fold symmetry. These ideas could be a good starting point for creating algorithms for synergetic interactions (to test the ideas of this report). - Theory of Functions: always and only coexisting : co-vary - tension / compression - concave / convex - proton / neutron The theory of functions states that there are certain relationships that must hold. For example, when there is tension on a string, there is also a compression force acting at 90 degrees to the string. In this sense, "tension and compression always and only coexist"[6], and if one aspect changes (say tension), the other aspect must also change (in this case compression). A csg must take the theory of functions into account when describing possible interaction rules. In this same sense, the system must also allow for the expression of entropic and syntropic behavior. This completes my current description of how we might use synergetic geometry to create a kind of computational cosmography. I have detailed the importance of this geometry and demonstrated that we can apply a common pattern (the synergetic paradigm) of thought across computation, quantum physics and synergetics. Now, what is remaining, is to show the need and feasibility of coordinated (and highly funded) research in these areas. Research Initiative Any comprehension research initiative starts with analysis of the basics. The basics for this project include a complete study of synergetics (as presented in [1], [2] and most recently [5]). During the project, other research using synergetics should also be documented, lest we spend time re-discovering the same as others. The next step is to begin creating algorithms that describe the interactions / allowable state changes of the modules within the geometry. During this process, the research will concentrate on describing the modules interaction in the jitterbug process. The jitterbug will be the basis for processing "energy" through the system: e.g. upon receiving a "photon" the geometry pulses out from an icosahedron through the vector equilibrium stage and then releases that energy as it folds back into an icosahedron; or releases a second energy packet as it folds further into an octahedron. The simulations and modeling of the synergetics should be done on parallel processing hardware using a parallel programming language which supports an object-oriented approach. The initial program code will be objects which simulate a module (probably a T-module). The objects will communicate via message-passing, in order to coordinate with neighbors and adhere to the allowable transformation allowed within the synergetic geometry. It is a given that computation based on synergetic modules will require a large computing resource, with a tremendous amount of communication channel bandwidth. Due to these requirements, the processor of choice will be the INMOS Transputer and the configured system could be from Parasys[8]; which provides a standard system with 16 processors for $ 40,000 (pounds), $ 150,000 (pounds) for a 64 transputer machine. Practical Applications For a project to be attractive to industry, it is customary to calculate the Net Present Value (NPV). These calculations are based on the initial investment, and future time-based revenues. The calculations also use a given internal rate of return factor which is the minimum percent that a company is willing to accept for their investment. For a basic research initiative, these ratings are not strictly adhered to, but they definitely influence decisions. For these reasons, a project must address the issue of return on investment by indicating what type of products or processes would result from the research investment. I am proposing that either a consortium, or a R&D Limited Partnership be setup, or some visionary company adopt the project. The project would encompass the research into and the develop of synergetic computation primitives. The application of synergetics will benefit organizations involved with the use of micro-structured surfaces, the formation of what are called fullerenes (carbon molecules arranged within a synergetic geometric arrangement), or other material processing. Synergetics approaches to design a language for spacial information have been proposed[11]. The study of synergetics will produce improved understanding of the geometries that underlie ALL chemical and atomic arrangements. The application of this type of reasoning to chemical bonding analysis should produce improved understanding and improved predictability of experimental results. Another area that is becoming very important is geometrical visualization[10], and synergetics would seem an appropriate tool in this area. An area that receives a lot of current government funding is the human genome project. Since synergetics can describe all patterns in nature, it would be the science of choice when attacking sequencing and pattern questions, that are key to the genome project. Other possible revenue streams come from the possibility that synergetics will soon become accepted as a new legitimate discipline and prospective users will require training. The market for training services will be tremendous (especially if our major universities resist adoption of this science in their classrooms). Consider the possibility of our government funding the re-training of the Military-Industrial-Complex technicians and engineers in the science of synergetics, to concentrate on producing livingry (Fullers term to differentiate it from weaponry[3]) instead of weaponry; the trainees involved and the projected revenue could be a marketing exercise. Why I feel Qualified for this Project This section should not be included in a regular proposal, but is included to help explain my rational for not only wanting to pursue the topics discussed, but the rational for why I feel I am qualified to assist in "starting this business". I have been interested in synergetics since I discovered / uncovered Buckminster Fuller's Critical Path[4] in 1983 along with fellow researcher Rick Bono. During Critical Path, I (as most due) contemplated what part I, as an individual of limited means, could have in assisting humanity prove itself a success in universe. My part had to have something to do with computers, either the use of them or the construction of them. Not long after this I predicted that any smart computer (if one was to be built) would have to use synergetic geometry as it's computation primitive, and as such, the Fifth-Generation Project[12] that the Japanese began was destined to fail (at producing a reasoning machine). Since that time I have reviewed synergetics frequently and have had numerous informal discussions on the topics, but have been earning a living doing other interesting things besides synergetics. Thus, my detailed knowledge is still very limited. >From an entrepreneurial standpoint, whether by accident or on purpose, my present employer has been training me to become an entrepreneur, by allowing me to continue theoretical studies (in a masters program) and by providing training in business management (both on the job and in the classroom). The culture of 3M is such that entrepreneurial visioning is encouraged, and allowed to occur through sponsored programs. I believe the need to begin using natures coordinate system (synergetics is the geometry of nature) in our product and process designs is paramount if we are to continue to be a world leader in the science of materials. A corporation should also include the public relations benefits to be gained from this type of venture; if successful, the corporations involved would earn reasonable profits while being viewed as a benefactor to all of humanity (once synergetics is adopted world-wide). Business Strategy Formulation The outline for the questions answered in this section come from a seminar given at the University of Texas Management Institute[13]. This exercise is meant to further review the feasibility of beginning a major effort into synergetics research. Outline of this section: Step 1: Strategic Profile Step 2: Environmental Analysis Step 3: Internal Analysis Step 4: Strategic Choice Step 5: Evaluating Strategy 1) Strategic Profile A) Definition of the Business Planned products would include synergetics training (consulting), visualization and programming. The vertical integration would be minimal by contracting for most of the visualization programming and other technical areas. B) Competitive Posture Most likely the first company in this field, and thus could establish the market and as such be guaranteed the greatest market share during the growth years. C) Self-Concept An open, if not renegade atmosphere where we could not assume anything for which there is not experimental evidence. Performance objectives include simulations of actual physical phenomena using synergetic building blocks. 2) Environmental Analysis A) Political, Social and Economic Dimensions There exists a national need to reestablish our competitiveness; especially in technology areas. Our current economic situation will cause government to make huge investment in re-training of both blue and white collar workers; where synergetics could be the technique of choice for this re-training. B) Market Dimension Current demand for the planned products might exist for visualization tools[10]; and this customer base consists of university, government and industry research labs. The Synergetics Institute in Japan produces a software for 3D animations of the process of making hierarchies of the icosahedron and the rhombic triacontahedron[3]. Training is a top issue in industry due to technology turnover and recent Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award guidelines and the ISO9000 regulations. A consumer market for visualization and synergetic training should also be developed. C) Product and Technological Dimension Product innovation will determine success or failure. Raw materials of the process include computing machinery and talented researchers. There does exist a pool of synergetic design scientists, but they could be hard to locate, harder still to recruit and probably impossible to manage (but easy to lead). D) Competitive Dimension The impact of competition would be positive for all concerned groups. The more activity in these areas, the greater the exposure and the better chance of success. This would also spread out the work and allow for further innovation to occur. 3) Internal Analysis A) Operational Dimension All operational elements will center around a thorough understanding of synergetic principles. B) Financial Dimension By far the weakest part of this venture. To fund 5-10 researchers and provide space and equipment over five years would require a total of $ 3 - 6,000,000. The overall amount would be also be influenced by what type, and the amount of outside contractors that would be available. C) Management Dimension The recruitment of a synergetic specialist to fill an executive role would be a key to success. 4) Strategic Choice A) Defining the Business (again) This would require an international effort with a set of core sponsors. The venture would be flexible enough to accommodate entry by other corporations, individuals and governments (the more, the better). Specializing in 3 areas should not prevent the venture from providing consulting support for spin-offs in other areas: World Gaming / Resource Planning, Special interest groups (quantum physics, chemical interactions, crystallography, university relations, etc.). 5) Evaluating Strategy A) Is it consistent with the environment? Since synergetics is not currently a mainstream scientific paradigm, most would say it is not consistent with our current environment, BUT since synergetics describes nature's coordinate system and the current explosion in technology has it approaching the limit's of application in their respective areas (e.g. VLSI is about as small as it can get; logic inference engines in computer science can only do so much; what is the atom smasher in Waxahatchie really going to do for us?), the scientific community should be ripe for a new way to look at old phenomena; and synergetics is the best new way. B) Is it consistent with our capabilities / resources? Only by making the investment in research, training and recruitment will the possibility of success pass 50%. C) Can it be implemented? There are many open questions concerning the future needs for products and services from this venture. Because synergetics was discovered by R. Buckminster Fuller, the descriptions of the details of the geometry are in his terms, and lack of mathematical rigor. We should expect to expand and continue to create from his base, while combining synergetic thinking with other ideas from similar areas. Once synergetics is validated, Bucky will be assured a spot as one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th century. If the arguments for research into synergetics are reviewed thoroughly, and some of the claims sincerely contemplated (e.g. can synergetics really be the geometry of nature?), then there is a good chance that commitment could be gained from top management of international corporations and from responsible government figures.

References Applied Computational Cosmography Part I -- First Steps The application of synergetics to the theory of computation is examined. The need for a new method of computation is discussed in terms of problem solving and computational complexity. Preliminary discussions of a proposed Computational Synergetic Geometry (CSG) lead directly to descriptions of CSG model components and implementations. Potential applications of the CSG model are examined. A list of preliminary development tasks is outlined. Introduction This paper is a preliminary discussion of ideas and methods towards the implementation of a generalized Computational Synergetic Geometry (CSG). The CSG is a completely new and previously undisclosed computational paradigm. As such, the author must make clear that the concepts and ideas presented in this paper are not yet definitive. When inaccurate, I hope to be at least definitively inaccurate. The application of Computational Synergetic Geometry is based on two steps. The first step is to reorder the problem at hand using synergetic geometry. It will be shown that this immediately yields a simplification of the problem that can be processed with reduced space-time resource requirements on conventional computers. The second step is to apply synergetics to the method of computation itself. This will yield massive performance advantages and provides insight into the nature of the problems we are trying to solve. Implementation of these steps will require a fundamental shift in the way we view the interaction between our conceptual models, computations and experimentally demonstrable reality. Generalized Computations & Complexity Problem Solving Computations are designed to solve problems. The present theory of computation recognizes that some problems are solvable and others simply are not. A problem is unsolvable if no algorithm can solve it. An unsolvable problem will not converge to a solution even when given infinite space-time resources. Some solvable problems require extremely large space-time resources. The solvability of such problems becomes one of economics (i.e., "What's knowing the answer worth to you?"). One of the objectives of computer science is to identify which problems, because of unsolvablity or space-time resource constraints, should not be attempted. Most problems involve irrational numbers in their calculations. If we want to compute the volume of a sphere with a given radius, R, we use the following equation: V = (4/3)*R^3 Pi (*) is an irrational number that is approximated by truncating to fixed number of decimal places. Pi is introduced in our calculations because of the linear focus of analysis. R. Buckminster Fuller discovered the synergetic geometry based solely on radial and circumferential, rather than linear and cubic accounting. Fuller explains: "Physics thought it had found only two kinds of acceleration: linear and angular. Accelerations are all angular, however, as we have already discovered. But physics has not been able to coordinate its mathematical models with the omnidirectional complexity of the angular acceleration, so it used only the linear, three-dimensional, XYZ, tic-tac-toe grid in measuring and analyzing its experiments. Trying to analyze the angular accelerations exclusively with straight lines, 90-degree central angles, and no chords involves pi (*) and other irrational constants to correct its computations, deprived as they are of conceptual models." Solvable computational problems which require unreasonably large space-time resources may be effectively simplified by converting their basis to a synergetic accounting system. Synergetics does not require the use of pi or any other irrational number to provide results. Simplification of problems via synergetics will increase computational performance on conventional machines by an order of magnitude while halving memory requirements. Computational Complexity The theory of computation includes the determination of computational complexity. If any process can be described by an algorithm, the space-time resource requirements can be determined. The determination of complexity involves the analysis of the algorithm used to define the computational sequence. A simple example will illustrate the trade-off between time- space resources. In his book, "The Turing Omnibus," A.K. Dewdney describes the analysis of two different algorithms used to solve a rather simple problem. n positive integers are stored in an array A. The problem is to determine if any of the integers are identical. Dewdney describes the algorithms STOR and SCAN in pseudo-code as follows: SCAN STOR for i*1 to n-1 do for i*1 to n do for j*i+1 to n do if B(A(i))*0 if A(i)=A(j) then output A(i); then output i and j; exit exit else B(A(i))*1 else continue Analysis of the worst-case time complexity of the SCAN algorithm yields a quadratic time function, n2. The storage requirements are clearly n. STOR has a worst-case time complexity of n, but requires more storage. If m bit numbers are used, STOR will need a maximum of 2m memory locations. This example illustrates several ideas. Finding a minimum complexity algorithm for a given problem, even a simple one, is not a trivial task. Time complexity minimization is generally more important than space minimization (there are exceptions, but memory is generally inexpensive when compared to time). The best-case space-time complexity would be linear (n). No known polynomial-time algorithms for problems with exponential complexity have ever been found. These problems represent the worst-case space-time complexities (2n or more). These types of problems will never be solved on a sequential computer. Supercomputer Paradox The term supercomputer is generally used to describe computing machines that are optimized for processing speed. Many different supercomputer architectures exist, some of which exhibit a large degree of parallelism. The supercomputer has allowed the science and engineering disciplines to find solutions to complex physical problems through a 'brute-force' approach. Fuller explains: "It is a paradox that the computer, in its very ability to process nonconceptual formulae and awkwardly irrational constants, has momentarily permitted the extended use of obsolescent mathematical tools while simultaneously frustrating man's instinctive drive to comprehend his direct experiences. The computer has given man physical hardware that has altered his environmental circumstances without his understanding how he arrived there." The need to modify the way we approach computation is clear. As stated earlier, problems must first be simplified by conversion to synergetic geometry. This will provide an automatic performance boost. The next step is to make the computations themselves operate within a synergetic framework that is closely matched to the problem. The system synergy (meaning the behavior of whole systems unpredicted by the behavior of their parts taken separately ) should supply a performance boost of several orders of magnitude. Computing machines based on the CSG model would be true supercomputers. The investigator modeling a part of Universe benefits not only from improved performance, but also from improved understanding of their model. Computational Design Science Each of the items outlined thus far, describe the emergence of a computational design science. Design science maintains that faithful observation of Universe is the basis of successful invention. A computational design science is necessarily comprehensive (i.e., multidisciplinary) in nature. The computer scientist, physicist, biologist, and philosopher (to name a few) will all contribute to developing and understanding the models of the physical phenomena which they create. The idea behind the CSG model is not to reinvent the computer or computation but to instead tap into the intricate workings of nature's transformations. Innovative artifacts produced with this comprehensive development method have gradually transformed the man's physical environment and are today the key to humanities' ultimate success in Universe. Computational Synergetic Geometry (CSG) Caveats Having established the need to rethink our approach to computations (both the problems we want to solve and the computations themselves), we can now take the first tentative steps towards exploring the uncharted. What follows is a description of one possible computational scenario. It may not be the only one. It may not be the best one. It is hoped that the ideas presented here are researched and investigated further. The final implementation of a Computational Synergetic Geometry will not likely resemble what is described. Each journey must, however, start with a first step. Description of the CSG Paradigm The idea behind the CSG paradigm is simple: apply synergetics to the science of computation. Information in the CSG paradigm is modeled as energy. A structure is defined as the base-level processing element (quanta). Frameworks are geometrical frames composed of optimal arrangements of structures. Energy (i.e., information) flows through a framework composed of structures. Transformational mapping rules determine whether energy is absorbed by the framework or dissipated by it. Energy is neither created nor destroyed. It can be transformed into different states. The framework may also undergo transformations. The framework adapts to the changing states of energy. Thus, the system optimally balances syntropic/entropic energy states. The framework transformations allow recycling of the initial energy conditions eliminating the need for intermediate results. This optimally reduces computational complexity. An analogy based on conventional computation is the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The FFT transforms time-domain data to the frequency-domain. The FFT operates on data that is discretely and evenly spaced in time . In the FFT, n input time-domain data points are transformed into n Fourier coefficients that define the complex frequency domain of the input signal at n discrete frequencies. The FFT can loosely illustrate some useful similarities to the CSG paradigm. Time-domain data inputs (input energy states) are converted to frequency-domain data outputs (output energy states). The conversion occurs after intermediate results are calculated (energy/framework transformations). The CSG differs from the FFT in that it allows the initial energy conditions to change state, allows recycling of initial energy, and is inherently dynamic. CSG Components Inputs & Energy It has become increasingly common to describe physical phenomena in terms of their information processing properties. Information, like energy cannot be created or destroyed. The information leaving the system cannot be greater than the information entering the system. In CSG space, information behaves as energy does in Universe. Information (hereafter referred to as energy) can change states (i.e., can be syntropic/entropic, associative/radiative). Radiative energy may not be initially "useful". It may require association with other, possibly neighboring energies to provide utility. Processing Elements & Structures Processing elements are modeled as structures. A structure is the base-level processing element or quanta element. The ideal model of the quanta element incorporates the fundamental unit of synergetic geometry. Each quanta element is self-contained and change's state depending on the requirements of the whole system. Geometrical Framework Geometrical frameworks of structures may be built. Frameworks consist of optimally arranged and dynamically adaptive environment of structures. An example will illustrate how this can be used. A simulation of the "unzipping" of the DNA molecule may be modeled by arranging the processing elements in a tetrahelix array. The properties of the specific DNA molecule being investigated are then transformed and mapped onto the array. As processing begins the array adapts to the changing format of the molecule. The configuration of the geometrical framework is such that it follows the requirements of minimum energy. The requirements of minimum energy conditions are in turn a function of the interplay between the physical forces being modeled and spatial constraints. The fact that space has shape must be accounted for in the CSG model. The concept that space has shape is examined by Arthur Loeb in his book Space Structures: "Space is not a passive vacuum, but has properties that impose powerful constraints on any structure that inhabits it. These constraints are independent of specific interactive forces, hence geometrical in nature." Transformations & Mapping Once the geometrical framework of structures is established, behavior "rules" are mapped onto the structure. All structures in Universe have access to a total of twelve degrees of freedom. The applied mapping may constrain or release any, all or none of the degrees of freedom available to the system. This may occur dynamically during the processing cycle and is dependent on changes in the system synergy/entropy. This method allows input of known, partial energy states initially and leads to transformations of the entire system based on the mapping rules. Efficiency Efficiency in a physical system is defined as the ratio of energy used to energy available to a system. No known system in Universe can have an efficiency greater than 100% due to the conservation of energy (Universe is finite but non-unitarily conceptual). In physical systems, low efficiencies imply wasted energy. The CSG model of computation must take efficiency into account. Unlike physical systems, the energy "wasted" in systems with low efficiency can still do useful "work." This is because energy is not really wasted, it is transformed. The energies "lost" in a CSG system are transformed into other, possibly unexpected (therefore synergetic) energies. A simple example based on a physical device is the loudspeaker. A moving-coil loudspeaker is essentially nothing more than an electrical-mechanical-acoustical energy transformer. This device has notoriously low efficiencies usually about 1%. This means that for every 100 watts of electrical energy input to the device only 1 watt is converted into useful acoustical energy. Ninety-nine percent of the input energy is transformed into heat. Heat is considered undesirable from a design standpoint and it must be dissipated to prevent damage to the device. The efficiency of a CSG model will be based on the following factors: 1.) How well matched the problem is to the initial geometrical framework of structures. 2.) How much energy must be used during the transformations (transformations are not free!). 3.) The state (i.e., constrained or not) of the twelve available degrees of freedom. It may be that an initial framework of structures used to model a problem may be fairly inefficient. Successive transformations of the system during processing should lead to a nearly 100% efficiency. Dynamic Modeling with The Jitterbug Dynamic models of physical phenomena require a dynamic transformational basis. One such basis for a large class of phenomena may be based on Fuller's "jitterbug" model. Fuller's jitterbug model consists of a cuboctahedron (i.e., Vector Equilibrium or VE) with flexible connections at the vertices. The structure formed is not stable and consists of eight faces with triangular outlines and six faces with square outlines. This structure's lack of stability enables motion. The jitterbug describes a series of dynamic transformations of the VE in which all its vertices move towards the systems center at the same rate (Note: the reader is encouraged to experiment with an actual model of the jitterbug at this point. See A Fuller Explanation by Edmonson for more details). The jitterbug goes from a vector equilibrium to a stable octahedron passing an unstable isocahedron along the way. Another possible transformation is the formation of a quadrivalent tetrahedron. The importance of the jitterbug model is in the nature of its dynamics. The transformations in shape and size occur without a change in the quantity of material. This illustrates how physical changes in phase occur. When phase changes occur the quantity of a material stays the same but that materials properties change radically. The contraction of the model operates around four independent axes thus making the transformations four-dimensional in nature. Complexes of many interconnected jitterbugs exhibit similar properties. Adjacent VE create octahedral cavities. Both types of polyhedra are required to fill space. Though extremely difficult to visualize, the transformation of a jitterbug complex converts the VE to octahedrons while the octahedron convert into VE. Edmonson explains the significance: "...the unique symmetry of the VE combines with this newfound jitterbug property to produce a model of omnisymmetrical motion, a radiating wave of activity. Just as the IVM [Isotropic Vector Matrix] is a static conceptual framework---describing the symmetry of space---this model illustrates the concept of dynamic, 'eternally pulsating' energy events in space. It causes the IVM to come to life." This dynamic model allows direct visualization of energy-wave phenomena and may help elucidate quantum gravitational theories such as the Loop-String/Ashtekar theory . The jitterbug model provides a good starting point for investigating the transformational properties of the CSG paradigm. Neural Nets, Cellular Automata, Lions and Bears (Oh My!) The CSG model appears to be similar to two well-known computational paradigms: the neural network, and cellular automata. CSG is similar to, but entirely unlike any of these paradigms. To explain this seemingly contradictory statement, we must examine each paradigm in general terms. Generalized Neural Networks Modern neural network paradigms were originally developed as models of biological nervous systems. The intent was to gain insight into learning and cognition. It soon became apparent that the models developed showed promise in allowing machines to achieve human-like performance in fields such as speech and image recognition. All neural net models attempt to achieve high computational performance by way of a dense interconnection of very simple, non- linear computational elements. Richard Lippmann explains: "Neural net models are specified by the net topology, node characteristics, and training or learning rules. These rules specify an initial set of weights and indicate how these weights should be adapted during use to improve performance." At first glance, the neural net appears to be a direct analogue to the CSG. A series of processing elements (structures) is massively interconnected in a specific topology (framework). The interconnections are supplied weights that are dependent on the learning rules (mappings). Once the system is trained, information (energy) is applied to the inputs and propagated through the systems (transformations) and read as the result. The differences are significant. The neural network topology is fixed and planar (i.e., two-dimensional) whereas the CSG is dynamic and four-dimensional in terms of dynamic axes & degrees of freedom. The mappings used in the CSG system are not training rules but are instructions on how the system should react in certain situations. It affects not only the energy being processed but also the topology of the framework. Generalized Cellular Automata Cellular automata are discrete space-time models that have sufficient local rule capacity to conceivably model Universe . They were invented in the late 1940's by John von Neumann who was attempting to construct a self-reproducing machine . Cellular automata are characterized by dividing space into small, discrete units called cells. Each cell takes on a binary value of 0 or 1. The cellular automation takes on an initial value at some time, t. Rules local to a specific cell determine the cell value at some later time (i.e., t+1). Time in the cellular automation also takes on discrete values. When compared to the CSG model, cellular automata suffer from problems similar to those of the neural network; mainly the lack of four- dimensional dynamics and modeling capabilities. Each of these paradigms have one thing in common with the CSG model. They are all classed as emergent computations. Each model exhibits synergy. The behavior of the whole system is greater than the sum of its components. Unexpected global behaviors emerge from many local interactions. The essential difference between each of these paradigms is that the CSG model is inherently dynamic and four-dimensional. In addition, a training phase (as in a neural network) or local rules (as in cellular automata) will not be required. Instead, the problem is directly mapped to the framework of structures. Transformation rules govern how the energy within the system will flow and change state. The transformation rules govern the behavior of the whole system and not just the local cells. Implementation Methods Implementation of the CSG model to computation will require a fundamental shift in the way we view the interaction between hardware and software. The differences between the two will become less apparent. This is because, in the CSG model, hardware and software fully complement each other. The hardware consists of conventional components with flexible interconnection schemes that must obey Euler's topology formula. The software consists of descriptions of the transformation rules and mappings that are operative in the model and must obey Gibbs' phase rule. Hardware and software elements must work like a lock and key. The design methodology for both hardware and software must address both issues at the same time. Hardware The basic processing elements used in a CSG implementation will all share some common features. The processor will essentially be independent of the framework topology used. This will allow different processor types to be configured and integrated into a single CSG framework. The key to the CSG hardware implementation is not in the CPU, but in the communications links and in making them dynamically reconfigurable. Dynamic reconfiguration is essential for allowing energy flow to follow the path of least resistance (i.e., from high potential to the 'ground' state). The only other requirement, from a hardware standpoint, is that the system memory must be distributed. Of off-the-shelf processing elements, the INMOS Transputer is the leading candidate for exploring CSG implementations. The Transputer family of processors are ideally suited to forming large, reconfigurable networks of processing elements. Each Transputer is a RISC based CPU with on chip communication links and memory. The Transputer represents an ideal starting point for investigating the CSG model. Ultimately, a special purpose processing element incorporating features specific to a CSG implementation must be developed. The framework of processing elements used in the CSG model would be based on two well- known principles: Euler's topology and Gibbs' phase rule. Euler's topology deals with the superficial aspects of the framework. It defines the number of processing quanta required as well as their interconnection topology. Gibbs' phase rule defines the degrees of energetic freedom available and how much energy needs to be added (or subtracted) locally to bring about other states. The two principles demonstrate complementarity. Euler's topology deals with energy as radiation while Gibbs' phase rule deals with energy as matter. The hardware topology is dependent on Euler's topology while the transformations and mapping rules are dependent on Gibbs' phase rule. Software Programs written for a CSG model will differ substantially from conventional programs. Conventional programs outline in exact detail the sequence of operations that are to occur. A misplaced instruction may cause the whole system to "crash". CSG software will instead consist of a set of descriptions that outline the way the system can transform. Initial energy will be directly mapped to the structural framework. A CSG model will be able to change state given that enough energy exists and that the system has sufficient unconstrained degrees-of-freedom. Gibbs' phase rule determines the number of degrees of energetic freedom that are available to the system based on the initial energy conditions and the given framework topology as described by Euler's formula. Gibbs' phase rule will also be used to determine how and under what circumstances the system can change state. The state changes are the key to CSG modeling. The system is essentially given instructions on how it can change state and then allowed to let the initial energy flow, transform, and change state as required. Input/Output The CSG will handle the bulk of input/output tasks graphically using conventional scientific visualization techniques. Object-oriented, graphical building blocks can be used to define frameworks, structures, transformations and initial conditions. Real-time display of computational progress and results will also be used. A method of "compiling" framework definitions will be required. This compiler would take into account the topological, and spatial constraints to form an appropriate structural framework. Several tools will need to be developed to facilitate I/O. A tool will be needed to help map the initial energy state to the structural framework. This tool should optimize the initial placement of energy in the system given the constraints defined by Gibbs' rule. Another tool that will help setup the structural framework will be required. This tool will allow complex structures to be built and mapped using the quanta elements. This tool will also define the frequency of modular subdivision required and then configure a suitable framework of quanta elements using Euler's formula. Applications Thus far, this paper has defined the need for a better method of computation, outlined CSG functional groups and introduced some CSG implementation issues. The following section deals with the question: "Yeah, so what can I do with it?". Today's supercomputers are essentially solving problems with large amounts of computational complexities that make them difficult to solve easily. The problems, however, are generally simple. Manipulation of matrices is an example. It is not difficult to add two matrices together. What is hard is waiting for the result when each element of an extremely large array must be added together...one-by-one. Supercomputers solve these problems by brute-force. Massively parallel machines provide a fairly elegant solution by performing the operation in one step. What is lacking from these solutions is an integrated whole. This is what sets the CSG model apart from these methods. By changing the way we view the problem and then mapping it onto a complementary computational framework, we focus on the nature of the problem instead of numerical computational techniques.

(1-800-827-6364) Subject: Applied Computational Cosmography (Long Part2) The Grand Challenge Problems Grand challenge problems deal with modeling aspects of our environment that have a significant impact on humanities' quality of life. The computational requirements for grand challenge problems are daunting. Solving these problems and learning their underlying processes is a key task along humanities critical path to success. Climate modeling The earth's climate is dynamic. One hundred million years ago tropical plants thrived at high latitudes. Eighteen thousand years ago ice sheets covered most of the northern hemisphere. Future climatic changes will be driven not only by natural fluctuations but by human activities as well. Gauging the effects of pollution, ozone depletion, volcanic activity, and nuclear war (World War III is over, but the weapons still exist) will become increasingly important, as will developing methods to alter the current course. Current climate models vary according to the length of time being simulated, as well as their spatial resolution. Even the most complex general-circulation models are sharply limited by the spatial detail resolution. Today, no computer is fast enough to calculate climatic variables everywhere on the earth's surface and in the atmosphere within a reasonable time span (remember complexity?). The CSG model applied to climate modeling will help to reduce the computational time required as well as increase the spatial resolution available to the model. This will lead to very accurate climate models. Quantum Physics No field stands to benefit more from Computational Synergetic Geometry than quantum physics. Quantum physics uses computers of unparalleled complexity to investigate its theories. These computers are commonly known as particle accelerators. Large particle accelerators are very expensive to build and operate. The need for accurate modeling and simulation tools becomes clear. Fortunately, synergetics provides the ideal modeling tool for investigations into quantum electrodynamics, the electroweak theory and quantum chromodynamics. Synergetic modeling coupled with the CSG model should provide unprecedented insight into the nature of the atomic and sub-atomic domains. Quantum mechanical modeling using the CSG system, will allow researchers to focus on experiments that provide the most insight into the nature of the quantum mechanical world. Crystal Engineering The forces that assemble molecules into natural crystals can be utilized to produce a variety of important materials. The properties of a crystalline material depend greatly on the arrangement of the molecules in the crystal. Little is known about the factors which control the assembly of such crystals Scientists are trying to learn what types of molecules and what types of conditions will produce crystals with unusual and useful properties. Molecules assemble in dense packing arrangements which minimize space and balance attractive-repulsive forces. This closest-packed arrangement minimizes the total energy of all the forces among all the molecules. Prediction of the lowest energy configuration is not possible today. The CSG model with its inherent ability to model spatial constraints and to deal with energy minimization would be the ideal method of predicting molecular crystal structures and properties. Managing the Human Genome Researchers are currently compiling the genetic code sequences that make human beings what they are. The human genome is the totality of genetic information contained in human chromosomes. Analysis of the human genome will provide clues into human origins and insight into the complex functioning of the body. Once codified the problem will be accessing, assimilating and cross correlating the tremendous amount of data generated. Access, interpretation, query, integration, visualization, test and study are all functions required in a genome database manager. The CSG model will allow for "intelligent" access to this data by seeking and classifying patterns within the data set. This method can be extended to any large data set given that an appropriate mapping schema is provided. Non-linear Systems Synergetics shows us that Universe in inherently non-linear. Nature depends on circumferential and radial accounting rather than linear and cubic accounting. Mathematical "correction factors" have been devised to compensate between what our linear models tells us and demonstrable physical reality. These correction factors have led directly to the development of non-linear systems analysis. Our currently non-linear mathematical models show high orders of unpredictability which we term chaos. Chaos appears across several fields such as medicine (prediction of heart attacks), weather forecasting (hurricane prediction), celestial mechanics (the n-body problem) and control systems analysis. By modeling non-linear phenomena using the CSG method, we will see the inherent order and symmetry which is currently masked by our outdated mathematical models. Machine Vision Machine vision is the energy-processing task of understanding a scene from its projected images. An image is composed of a 2-dimensional array of feature values. The task of a machine vision system is to understand the scene depicted by the image. Vision is easy for humans, although the mechanisms involved in human understanding of a scene are unknown. A key problem for machine vision implementations is that understanding an image requires a priori knowledge of the task domain. Today's image understanding systems are often unable to see objects that cannot be matched to a stored representation. The CSG system with its inherent ability to deal with topological detail and with its ability to map scene characteristics into its structural framework should be able to understand general scenes. Cognition Cognitive science deals with psychological research into the nature of human thinking. The theories that are developed are machine models of human thinking. Cognitive science attempts to quantify the comparisons of human mind with machine to benefit the understanding of human cognition. The CSG model applied to cognitive science should provide valuable insights into the nature of human thinking. The Shortest-Network Problem The optimum layout of a telephone network topology or a electronic circuit layout depends on solving what is known as the shortest-network problem. The computational complexity of solving for the shortest total route of even a 100 point network becomes extremely large in both space and time resources. Once again, the CSG model with its inherent ability to deal with topological detail and it flexible mapping schema should provide solutions to this problem with drastically reduced computational resources. Balancing Your Checkbook "Will a CSG be able to balance my checkbook?" It should, given that the appropriate mapping and transformational rules exist. The question arises from an examination of the 'trivial' problem and the CSG. A trivial problem is one that essentially a 'no-brainer'. It is still important for the CSG model to handle such problems to prove its generality and ability to model all physical principles. Some of the same transformation rules applied to quantum physics could be applied to balancing your checkbook. It should be noted that other computational paradigms cannot be reliably used on trivial problems (I would not use a neural network to balance my checkbook). Summary & Conclusion This paper has examined preliminary ideas towards developing a generalized computational synergetic geometry. The CSG model has been shown to be composed of two parts. The first involves reordering the problem using synergetic geometry. The second part involves applying synergetics to the method of computation itself. Several implementation concepts have been introduced along with potential applications. The purpose of this paper is to lay the foundation for further research and development. The following section will outline some of the preliminary tasks required for development. Documentation of results and exchange of ideas The view of the CSG model is bound to evolve over time due to synergy. It is of paramount importance to document the development and evolution of the CSG model. The key task in this area is to define the items in part IV of Fuller's Comprehensively Anticipatory Design Science's Universal Requirements for Realizing Omnihumanity Advantaging Local Environment Controls, Which are Omniconsiderate of Both Cosmic Evolution Potentials and Terrestrial Ecology Integrities. Applying synergetics to modeling physical problems Initial candidate problems for synergetic coordination need to be identified. The models for these problems must be conceptualized using synergetics. The underlying structures of these problems must be identified. Modeling techniques as well as a descriptive language tools must be developed. Development of CSG components The concepts of the quanta elements and structural frameworks must be investigated further. Development tools for describing the framework topologies and for applying Euler's formula and Gibbs' phase rule must be developed. Initial experimentation using logic elements or microprocessor arrays must be implemented. Further evaluation of the INMOS Transputer and the OCCAM programming language is required. There remain many unanswered questions regarding synergetics and the theory of computation. It is hoped that the ideas presented in this paper will bear fruit after further research and development. Synergetics applied to other fields of study have already resulted in notable discoveries (e.g. Carbon-60; the Buckminsterfullerene). The potential for additional discoveries is limited only by the initiative of the individual. ====================== References Nystrom, J.F. (Jim) Computational Cosmography, First-draft, April 1992.

Buckminster Fuller and is now potentially realizable due to breakthroughs in nanostructuring and mesoscopic systems. Quantum confinement and custom, artificial atomic structuring is examined conventionally and then modeled using synergetics. A proposed nuclear computer architecture based on computational synergetic geometry (CSG) is presented. ========================================================================= Date: Mon, 14 Nov 1994 17:21:56 -0800 Reply-To: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: Kirby Urner Subject: Cosmographical Ramblings Rambling Away Again: On Eternity and What Not A Cosmological Meditation by Kirby Urner 11-14-94 Physicist Dr. Frank Tippler was through Portland the other week. A respected general relativist, working out of Tulane U, the subject of his talk was: The Existence of God and the Resurrection of the Dead to Eternal Life (based on his new book by a similar title). Safe to say, the title was rattling to some. A liberal humanist professor friend of mine (sorry to use the label, but it fits), actually paged me at work to find out if the physics department is going to get religion. In the voting climate out here, the prospect of a shift to the right in the Ivory Tower was more than this guy could bear (we all know God's a right winger, yes?). Anyway, Tippler is a big bang closed universe cosmologist. The difference between the end and the beginning is that, in the meantime, life had a chance to evolve and penetrate to the edge of the universe, a kind of giant Gaia hypothesis (this was all presented as a hypothesis of course -- he's a true scientist). With life and its need to stay in touch with itself in control, the ultimate collapse of Universe (falling in under its own weight, now that the acceleration of the initial Bang! has worn off) will be guided by life. Communicating, information processing entities will be able to keep the collapse focused on a final terminus (instead of a messy ending of out-of-touch-with-one-another light cones), which, as any reader of Teilhard de Chardin will recognize, is God. The prior intelligent life with universe-controlling powers might be equated with angels -- but here we're talking far future, not far above (Dante's cosmology turned sidewise, along the time axis). But get this, causation is from the future. I guess we've heard about the symmetry in those Feynman diagrams -- can be read in either direction, timewise, and make the same sense. So Omega God is in control right now, I guess we could say, guiding the collapse unto Himself? But not that we don't have free will, Tippler was quick to assure us. No, human decision-making is irreducible, part of the fabric of Universe. Our degrees of freedom are final. How to relate a standard physics big bang cosmology, but this time one with God, to Fuller's eternally regenerative universe? I dunno, except maybe to say that, in some ultimate sense, it has all already happened. And the big bang is more a reflection of Omega, perceived as in a mirror darkly -- a reflection of some beginning time seen when we drop into space-time. But really there was/is no beginning. It's all over, always has been. But when you "cock your head to one side" (get cocky, like Mr. Bright Eyes -- stop being dead on), you get sent through the roller coaster screamer tunnels of lives 'past'. You enter a temporal universe with a beginning, middle and end, a world of frequencies, of scenarios. Here we find ourselves, near the beginning of it all (Tippler pointed out that the Universe has a lot more future than past -- we're less than 1/10000th of the way through it all). What of the resurrection of the dead to eternal life? Well, Tippler felt our distant future intelligences would have quasi-infinite computational power (given the cramming of info associated with omniconvergence, as wired by communicating beings). All past scenarios, life chapters such as humanity on Spaceship Earth, would be worth replaying in the cosmic VCR of virtual realities. And this could be done such that the entities created therein would have free will again. Like, it'd be us all over, resurrected. Tippler imagined that'd be like heaven, that these beings, benevolent by the necessity of their mutual convergence, would make this replay more congenial. The question I didn't get to ask is: how can one realistically emulate reality divorced of its context: humanity is humanity as we know it precisely because of its scary history and its pulp fiction present. Surely a serious intelligence would want to replay the real thing: and if so, then how do we know this ain't the replay? (you have to understand, the tone of the questions was all 'way out there' -- I wouldn't have been laughed off the microphone, anymore than Tippler was). Is it live, or is it Memorex? Or, in Laurie Anderson's words: "this is the time, and this is the record, of the time." So I guess I'd link Fuller to Tippler (a hypothetical relationship) by saying: in Fuller's Universe, human experience is a 'fall' from equanimous intercanceling, omnisynthesized, omniconsidered principles in mutual harmony, into the dissonate, abberational world of everything gone awry and askew, into the dramatic temporality of Universe with a big bang beginning. What Fuller said is the big bang and expanding Universe were evidence of humanity becoming more self-aware. If Tippler is right in putting some atemporal Omega at the end, endowed with omnireplay powers, then it makes sense to fold our present experience of partially overlapping scenarios Universe into that regenerative endpoint, and call it a day.

free copy of an unusual report. This report, entitled " Remote Backup Services ", describes a revolutionary new data service you could offer to businesses in your community. Did you know that anyone with a PC, a modem,and a telephone line could perform off-site data backups for local businesses? Recent advances in high-speed modems now make this a profitable venture. This service can generate thousands of dollars, per phone line, per month ( while the RBS operator is at home, asleep ). It can even run unattended, for days or weeks at a time. There's more to explain. So we've set up a 24-hour automated Info/Faxback Hotline. (For best results, call from your fax machine or a phone connected to your fax/modem, and be ready to receive faxes. The number is : ( 714 ) 495 - 7949 Select Report # 01 . Best Regards, S. Conroy Golden Lantern Data P.S. By the way, there is no obligation. ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 15 Nov 1994 08:20:12 -0500 Reply-To: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: Rjbono Organization: America Online, Inc.

Kirby, Heavy questions for so early in the morning... Fuller did not think that the big bang occurred. I myself could not see how this could be true until reading Stephen Hawking "A Brief History of Time". Hawking "discovered" black holes and more importantly details the properties of a singularity. He along with Roger Penrose first proposed the big bang theory, that is, that Universe was created out of a singularity. I found it interesting that he now believes quite the opposite is true. His initial studies did not include quantum gravitational effects which show that a big bang is not required. He has been trying to convince his peers of that for several years now. So what is left for Universe? He proposes that Universe has always been and will likely always be. It just is. A universe that is continually regenerative! A Universe in which we are destined to help support! As far as God goes, well that's up to everybody to decide for themselves. I can look at modern physics and still FEEL that there is God, but hey, that's just me.

There's a lot of computational challenges associated with synergetics, mostly surrounding our need to communicate it more effectively, both to others and ourselves. Which is where computer animations come in. Richard Hawkin has been doing some good stuff. Some of his stills (no movies yet -- although he does these) are viewable on my synergetics web pages, which have become more numerous and more interesting (IMHO) over the last few months. http://www.teleport.com/~pdx4d/synhome.html will get you started, if you have access to the web (I'm well aware that few of us do). I don't think one can start out with $150,000 and a megacomputer. What's needed now is some desktop action. Whether computational synergetics every becomes a big deal, we shall see.

Buckminster Fuller proposed a design for the ultimate (smallest & fastest) micro computer. A low voltage ac carrier of a given frequency (light?) fed to the central atom (radio transmitter antenna) of a cluster of identical atoms (diamond?) will generate a spherical wave of energy which will travel outward until it resonates with the layer of atoms corresponding to the input frequency. A modulating frequency may then be tuned to individual sets of atoms in that layer. Variations of the very low ac current will permit addressing four different sets of electrons per atom. Variations of voltage would represent zeros & ones. The same procedure applied to the poles of that cluster of atoms would extract any stored energy (information). The number of atoms per shell may be calculated by using the formula: n = 10 (frequency squared) + 2. A flattened-out (unfolded) vector equilibrium or regular tetrahedron may be used to map each shell (layer) of atoms.

References Applied Computational Cosmography Part I -- First Steps The application of synergetics to the theory of computation is examined. The need for a new method of computation is discussed in terms of problem solving and computational complexity. Preliminary discussions of a proposed Computational Synergetic Geometry (CSG) lead directly to descriptions of CSG model components and implementations. Potential applications of the CSG model are examined. A list of preliminary development tasks is outlined. Introduction This paper is a preliminary discussion of ideas and methods towards the implementation of a generalized Computational Synergetic Geometry (CSG). The CSG is a completely new and previously undisclosed computational paradigm. As such, the author must make clear that the concepts and ideas presented in this paper are not yet definitive. When inaccurate, I hope to be at least definitively inaccurate. The application of Computational Synergetic Geometry is based on two steps. The first step is to reorder the problem at hand using synergetic geometry. It will be shown that this immediately yields a simplification of the problem that can be processed with reduced space-time resource requirements on conventional computers. The second step is to apply synergetics to the method of computation itself. This will yield massive performance advantages and provides insight into the nature of the problems we are trying to solve. Implementation of these steps will require a fundamental shift in the way we view the interaction between our conceptual models, computations and experimentally demonstrable reality. Generalized Computations & Complexity Problem Solving Computations are designed to solve problems. The present theory of computation recognizes that some problems are solvable and others simply are not. A problem is unsolvable if no algorithm can solve it. An unsolvable problem will not converge to a solution even when given infinite space-time resources. Some solvable problems require extremely large space-time resources. The solvability of such problems becomes one of economics (i.e., "What's knowing the answer worth to you?"). One of the objectives of computer science is to identify which problems, because of unsolvablity or space-time resource constraints, should not be attempted. Most problems involve irrational numbers in their calculations. If we want to compute the volume of a sphere with a given radius, R, we use the following equation: V = (4/3)*R3 Pi (*) is an irrational number that is approximated by truncating to fixed number of decimal places. Pi is introduced in our calculations because of the linear focus of analysis. R. Buckminster Fuller discovered the synergetic geometry based solely on radial and circumferential, rather than linear and cubic accounting. Fuller explains: "Physics thought it had found only two kinds of acceleration: linear and angular. Accelerations are all angular, however, as we have already discovered. But physics has not been able to coordinate its mathematical models with the omnidirectional complexity of the angular acceleration, so it used only the linear, three-dimensional, XYZ, tic-tac-toe grid in measuring and analyzing its experiments. Trying to analyze the angular accelerations exclusively with straight lines, 90-degree central angles, and no chords involves pi (*) and other irrational constants to correct its computations, deprived as they are of conceptual models." Solvable computational problems which require unreasonably large space-time resources may be effectively simplified by converting their basis to a synergetic accounting system. Synergetics does not require the use of pi or any other irrational number to provide results. Simplification of problems via synergetics will increase computational performance on conventional machines by an order of magnitude while halving memory requirements. Computational Complexity The theory of computation includes the determination of computational complexity. If any process can be described by an algorithm, the space-time resource requirements can be determined. The determination of complexity involves the analysis of the algorithm used to define the computational sequence. A simple example will illustrate the trade-off between time- space resources. In his book, "The Turing Omnibus," A.K. Dewdney describes the analysis of two different algorithms used to solve a rather simple problem. n positive integers are stored in an array A. The problem is to determine if any of the integers are identical. Dewdney describes the algorithms STOR and SCAN in pseudo-code as follows: SCAN STOR for i*1 to n-1 do for i*1 to n do for j*i+1 to n do if B(A(i))*0 if A(i)=A(j) then output A(i); then output i and j; exit exit else B(A(i))*1 else continue Analysis of the worst-case time complexity of the SCAN algorithm yields a quadratic time function, n2. The storage requirements are clearly n. STOR has a worst-case time complexity of n, but requires more storage. If m bit numbers are used, STOR will need a maximum of 2m memory locations. This example illustrates several ideas. Finding a minimum complexity algorithm for a given problem, even a simple one, is not a trivial task. Time complexity minimization is generally more important than space minimization (there are exceptions, but memory is generally inexpensive when compared to time). The best-case space-time complexity would be linear (n). No known polynomial-time algorithms for problems with exponential complexity have ever been found. These problems represent the worst-case space-time complexities (2n or more). These types of problems will never be solved on a sequential computer. Supercomputer Paradox The term supercomputer is generally used to describe computing machines that are optimized for processing speed. Many different supercomputer architectures exist, some of which exhibit a large degree of parallelism. The supercomputer has allowed the science and engineering disciplines to find solutions to complex physical problems through a 'brute-force' approach. Fuller explains: "It is a paradox that the computer, in its very ability to process nonconceptual formulae and awkwardly irrational constants, has momentarily permitted the extended use of obsolescent mathematical tools while simultaneously frustrating man's instinctive drive to comprehend his direct experiences. The computer has given man physical hardware that has altered his environmental circumstances without his understanding how he arrived there." The need to modify the way we approach computation is clear. As stated earlier, problems must first be simplified by conversion to synergetic geometry. This will provide an automatic performance boost. The next step is to make the computations themselves operate within a synergetic framework that is closely matched to the problem. The system synergy (meaning the behavior of whole systems unpredicted by the behavior of their parts taken separately ) should supply a performance boost of several orders of magnitude. Computing machines based on the CSG model would be true supercomputers. The investigator modeling a part of Universe benefits not only from improved performance, but also from improved understanding of their model. Computational Design Science Each of the items outlined thus far, describe the emergence of a computational design science. Design science maintains that faithful observation of Universe is the basis of successful invention. A computational design science is necessarily comprehensive (i.e., multidisciplinary) in nature. The computer scientist, physicist, biologist, and philosopher (to name a few) will all contribute to developing and understanding the models of the physical phenomena which they create. The idea behind the CSG model is not to reinvent the computer or computation but to instead tap into the intricate workings of nature's transformations. Innovative artifacts produced with this comprehensive development method have gradually transformed the man's physical environment and are today the key to humanities' ultimate success in Universe. Computational Synergetic Geometry (CSG) Caveats Having established the need to rethink our approach to computations (both the problems we want to solve and the computations themselves), we can now take the first tentative steps towards exploring the uncharted. What follows is a description of one possible computational scenario. It may not be the only one. It may not be the best one. It is hoped that the ideas presented here are researched and investigated further. The final implementation of a Computational Synergetic Geometry will not likely resemble what is described. Each journey must, however, start with a first step. Description of the CSG Paradigm The idea behind the CSG paradigm is simple: apply synergetics to the science of computation. Information in the CSG paradigm is modeled as energy. A structure is defined as the base-level processing element (quanta). Frameworks are geometrical frames composed of optimal arrangements of structures. Energy (i.e., information) flows through a framework composed of structures. Transformational mapping rules determine whether energy is absorbed by the framework or dissipated by it. Energy is neither created nor destroyed. It can be transformed into different states. The framework may also undergo transformations. The framework adapts to the changing states of energy. Thus, the system optimally balances syntropic/entropic energy states. The framework transformations allow recycling of the initial energy conditions eliminating the need for intermediate results. This optimally reduces computational complexity. An analogy based on conventional computation is the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The FFT transforms time-domain data to the frequency-domain. The FFT operates on data that is discretely and evenly spaced in time . In the FFT, n input time-domain data points are transformed into n Fourier coefficients that define the complex frequency domain of the input signal at n discrete frequencies. The FFT can loosely illustrate some useful similarities to the CSG paradigm. Time-domain data inputs (input energy states) are converted to frequency-domain data outputs (output energy states). The conversion occurs after intermediate results are calculated (energy/framework transformations). The CSG differs from the FFT in that it allows the initial energy conditions to change state, allows recycling of initial energy, and is inherently dynamic. CSG Components Inputs & Energy It has become increasingly common to describe physical phenomena in terms of their information processing properties. Information, like energy cannot be created or destroyed. The information leaving the system cannot be greater than the information entering the system. In CSG space, information behaves as energy does in Universe. Information (hereafter referred to as energy) can change states (i.e., can be syntropic/entropic, associative/radiative). Radiative energy may not be initially "useful". It may require association with other, possibly neighboring energies to provide utility. Processing Elements & Structures Processing elements are modeled as structures. A structure is the base-level processing element or quanta element. The ideal model of the quanta element incorporates the fundamental unit of synergetic geometry. Each quanta element is self-contained and change's state depending on the requirements of the whole system. Geometrical Framework Geometrical frameworks of structures may be built. Frameworks consist of optimally arranged and dynamically adaptive environment of structures. An example will illustrate how this can be used. A simulation of the "unzipping" of the DNA molecule may be modeled by arranging the processing elements in a tetrahelix array. The properties of the specific DNA molecule being investigated are then transformed and mapped onto the array. As processing begins the array adapts to the changing format of the molecule. The configuration of the geometrical framework is such that it follows the requirements of minimum energy. The requirements of minimum energy conditions are in turn a function of the interplay between the physical forces being modeled and spatial constraints. The fact that space has shape must be accounted for in the CSG model. The concept that space has shape is examined by Arthur Loeb in his book Space Structures: "Space is not a passive vacuum, but has properties that impose powerful constraints on any structure that inhabits it. These constraints are independent of specific interactive forces, hence geometrical in nature." Transformations & Mapping Once the geometrical framework of structures is established, behavior "rules" are mapped onto the structure. All structures in Universe have access to a total of twelve degrees of freedom. The applied mapping may constrain or release any, all or none of the degrees of freedom available to the system. This may occur dynamically during the processing cycle and is dependent on changes in the system synergy/entropy. This method allows input of known, partial energy states initially and leads to transformations of the entire system based on the mapping rules. Efficiency Efficiency in a physical system is defined as the ratio of energy used to energy available to a system. No known system in Universe can have an efficiency greater than 100% due to the conservation of energy (Universe is finite but non-unitarily conceptual). In physical systems, low efficiencies imply wasted energy. The CSG model of computation must take efficiency into account. Unlike physical systems, the energy "wasted" in systems with low efficiency can still do useful "work." This is because energy is not really wasted, it is transformed. The energies "lost" in a CSG system are transformed into other, possibly unexpected (therefore synergetic) energies. A simple example based on a physical device is the loudspeaker. A moving-coil loudspeaker is essentially nothing more than an electrical-mechanical-acoustical energy transformer. This device has notoriously low efficiencies usually about 1%. This means that for every 100 watts of electrical energy input to the device only 1 watt is converted into useful acoustical energy. Ninety-nine percent of the input energy is transformed into heat. Heat is considered undesirable from a design standpoint and it must be dissipated to prevent damage to the device. The efficiency of a CSG model will be based on the following factors: 1.) How well matched the problem is to the initial geometrical framework of structures. 2.) How much energy must be used during the transformations (transformat ions are not free!). 3.) The state (i.e., constrained or not) of the twelve available degrees of freedom. It may be that an initial framework of structures used to model a problem may be fairly inefficient. Successive transformations of the system during processing should lead to a nearly 100% efficiency. Dynamic Modeling with The Jitterbug Dynamic models of physical phenomena require a dynamic transformational basis. One such basis for a large class of phenomena may be based on Fuller's "jitterbug" model. Fuller's jitterbug model consists of a cuboctahedron (i.e., Vector Equilibrium or VE) with flexible connections at the vertices. The structure formed is not stable and consists of eight faces with triangular outlines and six faces with square outlines. This structure's lack of stability enables motion. The jitterbug describes a series of dynamic transformations of the VE in which all its vertices move towards the systems center at the same rate (Note: the reader is encouraged to experiment with an actual model of the jitterbug at this point. See A Fuller Explanation by Edmonson for more details). The jitterbug goes from a vector equilibrium to a stable octahedron passing an unstable isocahedron along the way. Another possible transformation is the formation of a quadrivalent tetrahedron. The importance of the jitterbug model is in the nature of its dynamics. The transformations in shape and size occur without a change in the quantity of material. This illustrates how physical changes in phase occur. When phase changes occur the quantity of a material stays the same but that materials properties change radically. The contraction of the model operates around four independent axes thus making the transformations four-dimensional in nature. Complexes of many interconnected jitterbugs exhibit similar properties. Adjacent VE create octahedral cavities. Both types of polyhedra are required to fill space. Though extremely difficult to visualize, the transformation of a jitterbug complex converts the VE to octahedrons while the octahedron convert into VE. Edmonson explains the significance: "...the unique symmetry of the VE combines with this newfound jitterbug property to produce a model of omnisymmetrical motion, a radiating wave of activity. Just as the IVM [Isotropic Vector Matrix] is a static conceptual framework---describing the symmetry of space---this model illustrates the concept of dynamic, 'eternally pulsating' energy events in space. It causes the IVM to come to life." This dynamic model allows direct visualization of energy-wave phenomena and may help elucidate quantum gravitational theories such as the Loop-String/Ashtekar theory . The jitterbug model provides a good starting point for investigating the transformational properties of the CSG paradigm. Neural Nets, Cellular Automata, Lions and Bears (Oh My!) The CSG model appears to be similar to two well-known computational paradigms: the neural network, and cellular automata. CSG is similar to, but entirely unlike any of these paradigms. To explain this seemingly contradictory statement, we must examine each paradigm in general terms. Generalized Neural Networks Modern neural network paradigms were originally developed as models of biological nervous systems. The intent was to gain insight into learning and cognition. It soon became apparent that the models developed showed promise in allowing machines to achieve human-like performance in fields such as speech and image recognition. All neural net models attempt to achieve high computational performance by way of a dense interconnection of very simple, non- linear computational elements. Richard Lippmann explains: "Neural net models are specified by the net topology, node characteristics, and training or learning rules. These rules specify an initial set of weights and indicate how these weights should be adapted during use to improve performance." At first glance, the neural net appears to be a direct analogue to the CSG. A series of processing elements (structures) is massively interconnected in a specific topology (framework). The interconnections are supplied weights that are dependent on the learning rules (mappings). Once the system is trained, information (energy) is applied to the inputs and propagated through the systems (transformations) and read as the result. The differences are significant. The neural network topology is fixed and planar (i.e., two-dimensional) whereas the CSG is dynamic and four-dimensional in terms of dynamic axes & degrees of freedom. The mappings used in the CSG system are not training rules but are instructions on how the system should react in certain situations. It affects not only the energy being processed but also the topology of the framework. Generalized Cellular Automata Cellular automata are discrete space-time models that have sufficient local rule capacity to conceivably model Universe . They were invented in the late 1940's by John von Neumann who was attempting to construct a self-reproducing machine . Cellular automata are characterized by dividing space into small, discrete units called cells. Each cell takes on a binary value of 0 or 1. The cellular automation takes on an initial value at some time, t. Rules local to a specific cell determine the cell value at some later time (i.e., t+1). Time in the cellular automation also takes on discrete values. When compared to the CSG model, cellular automata suffer from problems similar to those of the neural network; mainly the lack of four- dimensional dynamics and modeling capabilities. Each of these paradigms have one thing in common with the CSG model. They are all classed as emergent computations. Each model exhibits synergy. The behavior of the whole system is greater than the sum of its components. Unexpected global behaviors emerge from many local interactions. The essential difference between each of these paradigms is that the CSG model is inherently dynamic and four-dimensional. In addition, a training phase (as in a neural network) or local rules (as in cellular automata) will not be required. Instead, the problem is directly mapped to the framework of structures. Transformation rules govern how the energy within the system will flow and change state. The transformation rules govern the behavior of the whole system and not just the local cells. Implementation Methods Implementation of the CSG model to computation will require a fundamental shift in the way we view the interaction between hardware and software. The differences between the two will become less apparent. This is because, in the CSG model, hardware and software fully complement each other. The hardware consists of conventional components with flexible interconnection schemes that must obey Euler's topology formula. The software consists of descriptions of the transformation rules and mappings that are operative in the model and must obey Gibbs' phase rule. Hardware and software elements must work like a lock and key. The design methodology for both hardware and software must address both issues at the same time. Hardware The basic processing elements used in a CSG implementation will all share some common features. The processor will essentially be independent of the framework topology used. This will allow different processor types to be configured and integrated into a single CSG framework. The key to the CSG hardware implementation is not in the CPU, but in the communications links and in making them dynamically reconfigurable. Dynamic reconfiguration is essential for allowing energy flow to follow the path of least resistance (i.e., from high potential to the 'ground' state). The only other requirement, from a hardware standpoint, is that the system memory must be distributed. Of off-the-shelf processing elements, the INMOS Transputer is the leading candidate for exploring CSG implementations. The Transputer family of processors are ideally suited to forming large, reconfigurable networks of processing elements. Each Transputer is a RISC based CPU with on chip communication links and memory. The Transputer represents an ideal starting point for investigating the CSG model. Ultimately, a special purpose processing element incorporating features specific to a CSG implementation must be developed. The framework of processing elements used in the CSG model would be based on two well- known principles: Euler's topology and Gibbs' phase rule. Euler's topology deals with the superficial aspects of the framework. It defines the number of processing quanta required as well as their interconnection topology. Gibbs' phase rule defines the degrees of energetic freedom available and how much energy needs to be added (or subtracted) locally to bring about other states. The two principles demonstrate complementarity. Euler's topology deals with energy as radiation while Gibbs' phase rule deals with energy as matter. The hardware topology is dependent on Euler's topology while the transformations and mapping rules are dependent on Gibbs' phase rule. Software Programs written for a CSG model will differ substantially from conventional programs. Conventional programs outline in exact detail the sequence of operations that are to occur. A misplaced instruction may cause the whole system to "crash". CSG software will instead consist of a set of descriptions that outline the way the system can transform. Initial energy will be directly mapped to the structural framework. A CSG model will be able to change state given that enough energy exists and that the system has sufficient unconstrained degrees-of-freedom. Gibbs' phase rule determines the number of degrees of energetic freedom that are available to the system based on the initial energy conditions and the given framework topology as described by Euler's formula. Gibbs' phase rule will also be used to determine how and under what circumstances the system can change state. The state changes are the key to CSG modeling. The system is essentially given instructions on how it can change state and then allowed to let the initial energy flow, transform, and change state as required. Input/Output The CSG will handle the bulk of input/output tasks graphically using conventional scientific visualization techniques. Object-oriented, graphical building blocks can be used to define frameworks, structures, transformations and initial conditions. Real-time display of computational progress and results will also be used. A method of "compiling" framework definitions will be required. This compiler would take into account the topological, and spatial constraints to form an appropriate structural framework. Several tools will need to be developed to facilitate I/O. A tool will be needed to help map the initial energy state to the structural framework. This tool should optimize the initial placement of energy in the system given the constraints defined by Gibbs' rule. Another tool that will help setup the structural framework will be required. This tool will allow complex structures to be built and mapped using the quanta elements. This tool will also define the frequency of modular subdivision required and then configure a suitable framework of quanta elements using Euler's formula. Applications Thus far, this paper has defined the need for a better method of computation, outlined CSG functional groups and introduced some CSG implementation issues. The following section deals with the question: "Yeah, so what can I do with it?". Today's supercomputers are essentially solving problems with large amounts of computational complexities that make them difficult to solve easily. The problems, however, are generally simple. Manipulation of matrices is an example. It is not difficult to add two matrices together. What is hard is waiting for the result when each element of an extremely large array must be added together...one-by-one. Supercomputers solve these problems by brute-force. Massively parallel machines provide a fairly elegant solution by performing the operation in one step. What is lacking from these solutions is an integrated whole. This is what sets the CSG model apart from these methods. By changing the way we view the problem and then mapping it onto a complementary computational framework, we focus on the nature of the problem instead of numerical computational techniques. The Grand Challenge Problems Grand challenge problems deal with modeling aspects of our environment that have a significant impact on humanities' quality of life. The computational requirements for grand challenge problems are daunting. Solving these problems and learning their underlying processes is a key task along humanities critical path to success. Climate modeling The earth's climate is dynamic. One hundred million years ago tropical plants thrived at high latitudes. Eighteen thousand years ago ice sheets covered most of the northern hemisphere. Future climatic changes will be driven not only by natural fluctuations but by human activities as well. Gauging the effects of pollution, ozone depletion, volcanic activity, and nuclear war (World War III is over, but the weapons still exist) will become increasingly important, as will developing methods to alter the current course. Current climate models vary according to the length of time being simulated, as well as their spatial resolution. Even the most complex general-circulation models are sharply limited by the spatial detail resolution. Today, no computer is fast enough to calculate climatic variables everywhere on the earth's surface and in the atmosphere within a reasonable time span (remember complexity?). The CSG model applied to climate modeling will help to reduce the computational time required as well as increase the spatial resolution available to the model. This will lead to very accurate climate models. Quantum Physics No field stands to benefit more from Computational Synergetic Geometry than quantum physics. Quantum physics uses computers of unparalleled complexity to investigate its theories. These computers are commonly known as particle accelerators. Large particle accelerators are very expensive to build and operate. The need for accurate modeling and simulation tools becomes clear. Fortunately, synergetics provides the ideal modeling tool for investigations into quantum electrodynamics, the electroweak theory and quantum chromodynamics. Synergetic modeling coupled with the CSG model should provide unprecedented insight into the nature of the atomic and sub-atomic domains. Quantum mechanical modeling using the CSG system, will allow researchers to focus on experiments that provide the most insight into the nature of the quantum mechanical world. Crystal Engineering The forces that assemble molecules into natural crystals can be utilized to produce a variety of important materials. The properties of a crystalline material depend greatly on the arrangement of the molecules in the crystal. Little is known about the factors which control the assembly of such crystals Scientists are trying to learn what types of molecules and what types of conditions will produce crystals with unusual and useful properties. Molecules assemble in dense packing arrangements which minimize space and balance attractive-repulsive forces. This closest-packed arrangement minimizes the total energy of all the forces among all the molecules. Prediction of the lowest energy configuration is not possible today. The CSG model with its inherent ability to model spatial constraints and to deal with energy minimization would be the ideal method of predicting molecular crystal structures and properties. Managing the Human Genome Researchers are currently compiling the genetic code sequences that make human beings what they are. The human genome is the totality of genetic information contained in human chromosomes. Analysis of the human genome will provide clues into human origins and insight into the complex functioning of the body. Once codified the problem will be accessing, assimilating and cross correlating the tremendous amount of data generated. Access, interpretation, query, integration, visualization, test and study are all functions required in a genome database manager. The CSG model will allow for "intelligent" access to this data by seeking and classifying patterns within the data set. This method can be extended to any large data set given that an appropriate mapping schema is provided. Non-linear Systems Synergetics shows us that Universe in inherently non-linear. Nature depends on circumferential and radial accounting rather than linear and cubic accounting. Mathematical "correction factors" have been devised to compensate between what our linear models tells us and demonstrable physical reality. These correction factors have led directly to the development of non-linear systems analysis. Our currently non-linear mathematical models show high orders of unpredictability which we term chaos. Chaos appears across several fields such as medicine (prediction of heart attacks), weather forecasting (hurricane prediction), celestial mechanics (the n-body problem) and control systems analysis. By modeling non-linear phenomena using the CSG method, we will see the inherent order and symmetry which is currently masked by our outdated mathematical models. Machine Vision Machine vision is the energy-processing task of understanding a scene from its projected images. An image is composed of a 2-dimensional array of feature values. The task of a machine vision system is to understand the scene depicted by the image. Vision is easy for humans, although the mechanisms involved in human understanding of a scene are unknown. A key problem for machine vision implementations is that understanding an image requires a priori knowledge of the task domain. Today's image understanding systems are often unable to see objects that cannot be matched to a stored representation. The CSG system with its inherent ability to deal with topological detail and with its ability to map scene characteristics into its structural framework should be able to understand general scenes. Cognition Cognitive science deals with psychological research into the nature of human thinking. The theories that are developed are machine models of human thinking. Cognitive science attempts to quantify the comparisons of human mind with machine to benefit the understanding of human cognition. The CSG model applied to cognitive science should provide valuable insights into the nature of human thinking. The Shortest-Network Problem The optimum layout of a telephone network topology or a electronic circuit layout depends on solving what is known as the shortest-network problem. The computational complexity of solving for the shortest total route of even a 100 point network becomes extremely large in both space and time resources. Once again, the CSG model with its inherent ability to deal with topological detail and it flexible mapping schema should provide solutions to this problem with drastically reduced computational resources. Balancing Your Checkbook "Will a CSG be able to balance my checkbook?" It should, given that the appropriate mapping and transformational rules exist. The question arises from an examination of the 'trivial' problem and the CSG. A trivial problem is one that essentially a 'no-brainer'. It is still important for the CSG model to handle such problems to prove its generality and ability to model all physical principles. Some of the same transformation rules applied to quantum physics could be applied to balancing your checkbook. It should be noted that other computational paradigms cannot be reliably used on trivial problems (I would not use a neural network to balance my checkbook). Summary & Conclusion This paper has examined preliminary ideas towards developing a generalized computational synergetic geometry. The CSG model has been shown to be composed of two parts. The first involves reordering the problem using synergetic geometry. The second part involves applying synergetics to the method of computation itself. Several implementation concepts have been introduced along with potential applications. The purpose of this paper is to lay the foundation for further research and development. The following section will outline some of the preliminary tasks required for development. Documentation of results and exchange of ideas The view of the CSG model is bound to evolve over time due to synergy. It is of paramount importance to document the development and evolution of the CSG model. The key task in this area is to define the items in part IV of Fuller's Comprehensively Anticipatory Design Science's Universal Requirements for Realizing Omnihumanity Advantaging Local Environment Controls, Which are Omniconsiderate of Both Cosmic Evolution Potentials and Terrestrial Ecology Integrities. Applying synergetics to modeling physical problems Initial candidate problems for synergetic coordination need to be identified. The models for these problems must be conceptualized using synergetics. The underlying structures of these problems must be identified. Modeling techniques as well as a descriptive language tools must be developed. Development of CSG components The concepts of the quanta elements and structural frameworks must be investigated further. Development tools for describing the framework topologies and for applying Euler's formula and Gibbs' phase rule must be developed. Initial experimentation using logic elements or microprocessor arrays must be implemented. Further evaluation of the INMOS Transputer and the OCCAM programming language is required. There remain many unanswered questions regarding synergetics and the theory of computation. It is hoped that the ideas presented in this paper will bear fruit after further research and development. Synergetics applied to other fields of study have already resulted in notable discoveries (e.g. Carbon-60; the Buckminsterfullerene). The potential for additional discoveries is limited only by the initiative of the individual. ====================== References Nystrom, J.F. (Jim) Computational Cosmography, First-draft, April 1992.

Along with the regular workshop, we conduct an Environmental Workshop and a Diversity Workshop. ________________________________________________________________________ | | | W O R L D G A M E W O R L D I S S U E S, D I V E R S I T Y | | a n d E N V I R O N M E N T A L W O R K S H O P S | |______________________________________________________________________| The following descriptions should help you decide which of our workshops best fits your organization's needs. __T h e W o r l d G a m e (R) W o r l d I s s u e s W o r k s h o p ________ The World Issues Workshop involves 50 to 200 participants in a simulation exploring local and global problem solving possibilities. More than half of these participants represent the 5.7 billion people of the world, distributed across the world's largest map according to current population density data. Other participants represent international organizations: the United Nations, the World Bank, the World Health Organization, a World Environmental Organization, UNESCO, Commercial Banks, multi-national corporations and the Media. The Workshop begins with the history of the world. Participants take their places on the map as a timeline progresses, and are able to watch as the Earth's population grows and spreads across the continents. The teams are then provided with props representing food, energy, money, technological capability, and natural resources that exist in their region today. As the simulation begins, regional players are charged with meeting the needs of their population and improving the quality of life in their region. International teams like the United Nations and the Environmental Organization identify critical local problems for the regions and help them develop solutions. Commercial banks and the World Bank collect interest on the regions' debt and make further loans available. The multi-national corporations attempt to make profits by producing energy, food, or manufactured goods to sell to the regions. After each of three game rounds, the Media reports on progress or problems in this simulated world. During the game players are asked to develop a vision of what they would like the future to look like, and this vision is treated as their goal in the game. As the game rounds progress, players begin to look beyond local concerns and attempt to solve global problems. The workshop ends with a visual representation (involving 50,000 bingo chips) of the destruction and the opportunities present in the world, and a discussion of how the participants can take action in the real world to make their vision of the future a reality. __T h e D i v e r s i t y W o r l d G a m e________________________ "You can no longer save your family, tribe or nation. You can only save the whole world." - Margaret Mead The Diversity World Game is designed to allow 50 to 125 participants to experience first-hand the benefits as well as the difficulties of trying to communicate, operate, and attain mutual goals within a multi-cultural environment. Like the World Issues Workshop, participants are divided into 11 regions of the world based on real-world population distribution. These teams are then asked to create a ficticious 'culture' for themselves, through the guidance of menus that ask them to determine greetings and rituals unique to their regions, personal-distance zones, gender relations, decision-making systems, hierarchies, and other particulars. These regional teams are then given props for food, energy, money, technology and natural resources and attempt to meet the needs of their populations. As these regional team members make contact and negotiate with one another, participants are charged with interacting within the structures of the cultures they have designed. Other participants play the roles of the United Nations and UNESCO, attempting to guide the regions safely through cultural conflicts while encouraging them to preserve their unique cultures. As in the World Issues Game, the Media team reports on each game round. In this nonthreatening context, the workshop provides a hands-on approach to gaining and enhancing the awareness and acceptance of, and even appreciation for, the challenges and opportunities of diversity. Players are asked between game-rounds to create a positive vision of the future, and the workshop ends with a discussion of the role cultural diversity plays in reaching this future. __T h e E n v i r o n m e n t a l W o r l d G a m e________________ "There is no energy crisis, food crisis, or environmental crisis. There is only a crisis of ignorance." - Buckminster Fuller There is one species in the world today that has made a significant impact on every part of the earth - its land, waters, atmosphere - and on virtually all other species. That species, of course, is us. The Environmental World Game gives 50 to 200 participants an understanding of human beings' effect on the earth as we attempt to feed and provide for ourselves. More than half of the participants are assigned to represent the population of the earth and are given props symbolizing regional food, energy, money, technology and natural resources. In the Environmental World Game the earth is given a voice as well: other participants are divided into teams representing the earth's Hydropshere, Atmosphere, Lithosphere, and the planet's Flora and Fauna. As the regional teams work to meet their needs, these environment teams notify them of the impact their population is having on the earth, and of critical environmental problems that the regions need to address. If the regions do not take notice of these problems, the problems worsen until the human population's well-being is also affected. Regions must examine their solutions and strategies for environmental sustainability. Additional players represent the World Bank, the Media, and the United Nations Environmental Programme, which notifies the regions of health risks posed by environmental carelessness. Players create a positive vision of the future, and the game ends with a discussion of how this future can be attained with minimal environmental impact. 50,000 bingo chips are once again used as a graphic representation of the problems and opportunities that we face as a species, and as a planet.

Fuller was following how ships learn though how airplanes learn and wondering if what was learned by these areas of technoadvance might be helpful in the land-based dwellings arena, where learning seems to have advanced much more slowly, either for good reasons or because civilian affairs have always been second banana next to military R&D, which gave such impetus to sea-lanes controlling shipping and airways controlling air forces. Ultimately, it's humanity that learns, not humanity's structures, although these will embody the results of what's been learned (via trial & error). >max dublin in the tyrrany of prophecy has a scathing criticque >hitting at the juggular of buckys view about no good and bad people in >critical path and his documentaion of evidence using what science has >discovered as the argument he says fuller is a liar and critical path is a >simpleton's book with false ethics presented to humanity Sounds pretty scathing all right. Again, a quote or two would be nice. Has anyone else checked out this book? Nick is a very well-read dude I happen to know. I think angry attacks on Fuller are what we have to work with these days, and if there's going to be another chapter wherein some of his ideas go places we want to go, then dealing with a lot of raging against what he wrote or supposedly represents will have to come first. I think some healthy diatribing leading to some soul searching in both pro and anti Fuller camps (if we can be simple-minded for the moment) would be a lot more worthwhile than (a) silence (b) everyone in each camp agreeing with themselves and no one bothering to engage the other. Fuller's ethics: he seems to think that humans growing up in safe and secure environments will not be predisposed to violent or sociopathic actions. I'm not sure he ever puts this across as one of his exceptionless principles, but more as a "generalization" of the traditional kind, i.e. exceptions exist. Then there's the whole picture of humans retaining their humanity by being open to input from Mind, where brains without connection to Mind, at least in the case of humans, are especially likely to go haywire and out of control. He wanted humans to rediscover a sense of eternal principles and felt that this, in and of itself, would lead to more accommodating and cooperative behavior among us. Is this the kind of analysis that Max Dublin discredits I wonder? Enquiring minds want to know. Thanks for sharing the fruits of your scholarship Nick.

I think that you guys are definitely on >the right track. really? my impression was that the paper was remarkably vague. i read it through several times and it really only left me at a loss - trying to figure out what direction was being illustrated. this is a feeling that i've often had as well while reading Fuller's Synergetics. i'd appreciate it if this list could be used for a bit of discussion about those ideas, because there is so much wild supposition to be found on so many of those biblically numbered paragraphs. there is also much repetition. so much omni-this and omni-that. i've read for many hours in the book, and enjoyed it very much. believe me, i'm not out to flame the man. it's just that reading Synergetics in all its extremely verbose and mathematically sparse detail has left me with a desire to see some of the ideas fleshed out and brought to a stage in which they can be used practically. instead, i found that the paper on "Applied Computational Cosmography" to be even less conclusive and more open-ended than Synergetics itself! an example: energy is not at all analogous to information. information is a combination of two things: data and it's interpretation. information can also be readily destroyed. i found this to be a gigantic gaping hole in the reasoning of the paper. is it not possible to examine, for example, in more fine detail how exactly the isotropic vector matrix can be used as a more appropriate model of space? i can imagine that there are possibilities, but Fuller himself only scratches the surface with his explanations. another example: how can we visualize the propagation of waves as being based on some regular structure (his "spheric", the rhombic docdecahedron) when they seem in reality to more resemble true spheres expanding equally in all directions. in either the Isotropic Vector Matrix, or space "cellularized" into rhombic dodecahedra, a wave will logically propagate at different speeds in different directions. does space not appear experimentally to be more symmetrical than such a matrix? i hope that i'm not considered to be "out of line" by suggesting such things in this group. i also hope that replies don't simply suggest that i read further or read again until i get it. to make the brilliant and fresh ideas palatable for the scientific community, someone will have to start nailing it down. i'd love to be able to spend the time to build a tool for the purpose of coming to terms with the structural language employed in Synergetics. i find it difficult to puzzle about some magical new synergetic computer, when we haven't even yet built the "Lotus 123" of structural dynamics. don't we more urgently need a generation of kids at play in a little virtual world of synergetics geometry software? -- ________________ ___________ _________________ ____/ gerald de jong \____/ rotterdam \____/ the netherworld \____ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ living on a billiard table, just a tad above sea level (4th floor) ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 25 Nov 1994 14:51:55 +0100 Reply-To: gerald@tacit.xs4all.nl Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: Gerald de Jong Organization: Tacit Software Subject: wierdness In <199411250548.AA27064@xs1.xs4all.nl> Kirby Urner writes: >Nick Consoletti writes: >>max dublin in the tyrrany of prophecy has a scathing criticque >>hitting at the juggular of buckys view about no good and bad people in >>critical path and his documentaion of evidence using what science has >>discovered as the argument he says fuller is a liar and critical path is a >>simpleton's book with false ethics presented to humanity >Nick is a very well-readdude I happen to know. no kidding? jeez, i'm all for leaving caps behind, but the man could use the odd punctuation mark. i found his post barely readable! -- ________________ ___________ _________________ ____/ gerald de jong \____/ rotterdam \____/ the netherworld \____ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ living on a billiard table, just a tad above sea level (4th floor) ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 25 Nov 1994 16:10:19 -0600 Reply-To: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: Rob Pollock Subject: Hello Again! Hi everybody! It's been about four years but I finally figured out how to get internet access and have again subscribed to GEODESIC.~ ~ I recognize a few names that have been in the digest and lately coming across the screen. I was involved with the discussion of floating islands, among other things.~ ~ I wanted to pass along some info re: floating islands. I haven't been doing much (directly) for creating one/many, other than trying to pay back my student loads/loans. Yet, i always held out hope that something would come of the idea. I found a very interesting book that details how our planet gets from today to a multi-stellar civilization. It was quite a ride reading the book, and the author put a lot of diverse science and other subjects together. Before you scream at me to get on a Trek list, let me say that the second phase is to build floating islands using the stored energy in the oceans (OTEC).

He ranted on fullers views aboutn tecnology. As far as i could see he didn't make a good argument. Recently Zimmerman from UCLA has a book out on Deep Ecological issues. he thinks little of fullers work. The Social Ecologist Murray Bookchin is critical of his use of language claiming it represents mechanistic thinking. Even Sim Van De Ryan former state architecht of California and a colleague of John Todd one of the founders of of the New Alchemy Institute, which proposes an Ecology as Applied Design, claimed a language of mechinistic leaning ( they use dome for growing food) The most scathing one i have heard of late is by Max Dublin in his book Pulished in the 90"s"The Tyranny of Prophesy"In what is to me a confusing book. He attacks at the juggular of Buckys view about no good and bad people stated in" Critical Path" Fuller argues that one of the reasons for this is what science has discovered. Dublin accuses fuller of phony ethics claiming that "Critical Path" is a simpleton's book with false ethics presented to humanity. He contends that Fullers approach using "science as false quise as represented in Hannah Arrents "The Politics of Lying" He not only critisizes fuller from the technotwit anti technology sort of like Jacques Euell's "The Technological Bluff" > point of view, but from buckys epistomoloogical statement of absolute > faith in god nonanthopomorphic that is > i could go on and on with these people Read Alex Gerbers" The Educational Philosophy of Buckminster Fuller" he handles fullers critics with clarity and compassion. In other words with no axe to grind. It is true that bucky said a lot of things for example,in "Critical Path" the bombing of Brazil as a planning stratagy to make communities to live in would make many ecologists cringe; fuller was off on the date and (the use not ownership) has yet to emerge. Which was one of Bucky's aspirations for humanity, and talked about by John Cage so eloquently, just before he died. see" Art And Population" Mesotics.

BUCKMINSTER FULLER'S GRAND STRATEGY FOR SOLVING GLOBAL PROBLEMS: Throughout the history of man there has never been enough to go around for everyone---there has always been scarcity. Therefore, the basic problem was: who gets what? Who survives and who doesn't? Every society has had a different system for deciding that question, and which group survived was usually decided by war! But just because it has always been that way doesn't mean that it always has to be that way in the future. Just because there was scarcity in the past, does that mean that there has to be scarcity in the future? No! Mankind now has enough knowledge to be able to invent our way into a future of plenty. We are just not aware of the fact that we now have that possibility. According to the engineers, the world's industrial system is now operating at only about four percent efficiency, but it could easily be improved to an average of twelve percent. In other words, all we have to do is start using already existing inventions and stop being so wasteful! Ok. That sounds great, but having two or three times as much wealth would not do much good if the world's population keeps growing. Luckly, it just so happens that as industrialization increases, the global birth rate decreases. As the amount of energy per person increases, the birth rate decreases, so that if the world is completely industrialized by about the year 2010, the total population should peak at about 6 billion and then start declining. Therefore, if we only double the average efficiency we could easily take care of the world's present one billion poor (the other four billion are already "making it" now). And if we triple the efficiency we could not only take care of any future population growth, but dramatically raise everyone's standard of living. (The figures that I have used are very conservative. The efficiency could probably be raised much higher, complete industrialization could be achieved much faster, and population growth slowed down much faster. It is better to understate than overstate.) So, we are not on a treadmill; there is a way out. There is a practical strategy. How, specifically, can we raise the efficiency? How can we get more energy, use less materials, and use less time to provide for our basic needs? What do we need? Lots of renewable energy, plenty of food, decent inexpensive housing, medical care, education, transportation, and communication, to name the basics. Energy first: we need to develop about a dozen types of renewable sources of energy and we need to develop ways of distributing that energy. We now have the know-how to connect together all the world's electrical generating plants. That one project would almost double the amount of energy available in the world because right now most generating plants run at about half capacity & use the other half for peak demand only. By interconnecting they could all swap power (especially between the light & dark sides of the earth) and therefore be run at almost peak capacity most of the time--- without building any new generating plants. We must also phase in all the various types of renewable energy as the fossel fuels start to run out. There are plenty of alternatives to choose from: solar, wind, hydroelectric, biomass, alcohol, geothermal, tides, photovoltaic, hydrogen, waves, etc. All these alternatives, when fully developed, would not only replace the non-renewable, polluting, and dangerous sources, but give us three times as much energy as we have now (not counting the gains through interconnecting). So, we can have plenty of energy if we want it. There is no energy shortage! There is just a shortage of awareness of what is now possible. The crisis is a crisis of ignorance. Now, what is the story for food? Much the same. We produce more than enough food for everyone, but much of it rots or is eaten by rodents because we don't have the means of storing, preserving, and transporting it. But, with adequate energy we could grow, preserve, and distribute plenty of food for everyone. In fact, if needed, we could probably grow two or three times as much as we do now. And so, if we solve the energy & food problems, how do we provide good, inexpensive housing for everyone? Simple. Shelter people in mass-produced, self-contained, surplus-energy-producing geodesic dome homes which would be helicopter-delivered to anywhere for a tenth the cost of conventional houses. A geodesic sphere is the lightest, strongest, and cheapest way of enclosing space ever invented. Domes can not only house individual families, but they could cover whole cities---and even float in the air or be anchored on or under the oceans. Domed cities use about 1/90th the energy of uncovered cities, and have perfect climates all year round---no matter what the outside climate. So, if people have adequate food, energy, shelter, etc., they are bound to be healthier. The easiest way to control disease is to eliminate its causes, such as malnutrition, bad water, exposure, vermin, etc. As far as transportation is concerned, we need to mass-produce already- invented ducted-fan air cars that can go on roads or rise vertically on jets of air. This would allow personal transportation just about anywhere without roads. Also, we need to develop personal, modular transportation pods which could go on roads, be hooked together in groups, be loaded onto trucks, trains and boats, or put into airplanes for transport anywhere, with the whole global system scheduled by computer. Development of wireless, satellite relayed, two-way communication systems will enable great numbers of people to work at home, wherever that may be in the world, thus cutting down on the expense of commuting to the office. Also, education will return to the home because students will have two-way multimedia access to all the information banks of the world. They will be able to call up the best and latest information presented by the best teachers in the world. Two-way voice, data and fax will also be transmitted by satellite, thus cutting down on the use of energy and materials and speeding up the exchange of ideas and information. All this vast increase in wealth and decrease in waste (time, energy, materials) will make it possible to have a minimum level of guaranteed annual income for all which should gradually increase with time. People will have to work less and less and will have more and more time to do whatever they want---study, fish, travel, think, etc. Also, the fear of not having the basic necessities of life will be gone, and that should eliminate a lot of worry, stress-caused illnesses, and crime. But most of all, if people no longer have to fight each other over limited resources, then the basic reason for war will be gone and war will become obsolete. The oldest dreams of mankind---peace, prosperity---will have come true. People living now, for the first time in history, have the opportunity, privilege, and responsibility to help to make all these things come true. All of humanity has struggled, dreamed, hoped, worked, and prayed for this moment in history. It is up to us to make it happen. 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 NATURE'S GEOMETRY Although the discovery of the geometrical basis for all of nature's designs was published by R. Buckminster Fuller over 30 years ago, "modern" society still does not seem to be aware of this monumental achievement! All of the physical universe is made out of energy either radiant ortied up in knots called atoms. A given amount of energy traveling in somedirection for a certain amount of time is called a "vector". The only self-stabilizing combination of vectors is the triangle. Only three basic systems can be constructed out of equilateral triangles: tetrahedra, octahedra, and icosahedra. Therefore, all of nature must be built up from some combination or multiple of only those three basic systems! For further information see: 'The Dymaxion World of Buckminster Fuller' 1973 by Robert Marks & R. Buckminster Fuller pages 142-47. 'Synergetics' by R. Buckminster Fuller 1975 pages 314-19. 'Synergetics II' by R. Buckminster Fuller 1979 pages 151-59. 'Fuller's Earth' by Richard J. Brenneman 1984 pages 91-92. 'A Fuller Explanation' by Amy C. Edmondson 1987 pages 38-39. 1.2 A SIXTY DEGREE COORDINATE SYSTEM R. Buckminster Fuller discovered that nature is using a sixty degree coordinate system (the tetrahedron), not ninety degrees (the cube)! If humanity were to convert to nature's system, we would not need to useall kinds of irrational constants such as pi, etc. All our measurements and calculations would be simplified and come out in nice round numbers (tetrahedional units). For further information see: 'Utopia or Oblivion' by R. Buckminster Fuller 1969 pages 80-105. 'The Dymaxion World of R. Buckminster Fuller' 1973 by Robert Marks & R. Buckminster Fuller pages 38-49,142-7 'Synergetics' by R. Buckminster Fuller 1975 pages 108-19. 'Buckminster Fuller: An Autobiographical Monologue/ Scenario' edited by Robert Snyder 1980 pages 114-24. 1.3 NATURE'S UNIFIED FIELD R. Buckminster Fuller discovered nature's unified field which can account for all the various transformations of energy. He was able to express it as both a physical model and as the mathematical formula: t = 2 n (f squared) + 2. Unfortunately, the conventional scientific establishment has yet to recognize his monumental achievement! See: 'Synergetics' by R. Buckminster Fuller 1975 pages 589-96, 677-8, and 810. 'Synergetics II' by R.B.Fuller 1979 pp 57, 217-8, 239, 415, 448, & plate 9 1.4 THREE-WAY WEAVING R. Buckminster Fuller has pointed out that a 3-axis (triangular) weave is far superior to a 2-axis (square or 2-way) weave. 3-way weaves have 4 times the tear resistance of conventional weaves & resist spreading (runs). 3-axis weaving can be used to increase the durability and decrease the cost of many types of fabrics such as clothing, nylon stockings, parachutes, sails, tarps, tents, screens, nets, etc. Tennis and raquetball rackets using 3-axis stringing have 60% more ball-to-string friction for better control, more power, a larger sweet spot, less vibration, and superior shock dispersion. Any flat, round, or irregular shape can be woven such as hats, baskets, balls, and even geodesic domes! See: 'Synergetics II' by R. Buckminster Fuller 1979 pages 385-86. 'Critical Path' by R. Buckminster Fuller 1981 pages 13-14. 'A Fuller Explanation' by Amy C. Edmondson 1987 pages 232-33. 1.5 LOW DISTORTION MAPPING R. Buckminster Fuller found a way to translate information from curved to flat surfaces and vice versa in such a way that there was minimal distortion of the data. His technique works for polygons whose edges are equal, such as a tetra-hedron, octahedron, cube, icosahedron, vector equilibrium, dodecahedron, etc. He preferred the icosahedron because it has the greatest number of equalateral triangles. It makes no difference whether the data is on the outside or inside surface. For further information see: "U. S. Industrialization", Fortune Magazine by R. Buckminster Fuller Feb 1, 1940 pages 50-57. "Fluid Geography", The American Neptune Magazine by R. Buckminster Fuller Apr 1, 1944 pages 119-36. "Dymaxion Map" by R. Buckminster Fuller Jan 29, 1946 U.S.patent #2,393,676 'The Dymaxion World of R. Buckminster Fuller' 1973 by Robert Marks & R. Buckminster Fuller pp 50-1, 150-9. 'Inventions' by R. Buckminster Fuller 1983 pages 85-94. 1.6 CONSTANT ZENITH PROJECTIONS Way back in 1943 R. Buckminster Fuller published a new method of transferring information from any surface to a flat surface (or vice versa) with the least possible amount of distortion. It doesn't matter what the shape or size of the thing the information is on, whether it is solid or hollow, or if the data is on the inside or outside surfaces. Specification beforehand of the appropriate base system (tetrahedron, octahedron, icosahedron, ve, cube, etc.) & the level of accuracy (frequency) would give each vertex a unique address (altitude and azimuth) leaving the only variables to be the lengths of the various radii. His method would lend itself elegantly to modern CAD/CAM efforts in designing everything from ultra-micro computers to jumbo jets. For more information see: "R. Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion World" by staff, Life magazine Mar 22, 1943 pages _?_-__. "Dymaxion Map" by R. B. Fuller 1-29-46 U.S.patent #2,393,676 'Synergetics' by R. Buckminster Fuller 1975 pages 701-24. 'Synergetics II' by R. Buckminster Fuller 1979 pages 451-60. 2.0 TETRAHEDRA 2.1 QUARK MODELS Fuller discovered that the minimum shape that will compound with itself to fill all space is an irregular tetrahedron which he called the "MiTe" (minimum tetrahedron). And since energy as matter must have some kind of shape, & the minimum "thing" or shape (system) is a tetrahedron, Fuller's mite must be what the atomic physicists call a "quark"! All systems must have certain basic properties: 1) Clockwise or counterclockwise rotation or spin; 2) Opposite poles (with north either "up" or "down"; 3) Various volumes or energy contents (+ and - charges) 4) An inside and an outside; In addition, tetrahedra have the unique property of being able to easily turn themselves inside out to display eight (8) different faces. Therefore, in light of all of the above, it is possible to construct a quark chart listing all the various combinations of the above properties. This chart predicts a total of thirty-two (32) basic quarks (8 families, not 6) plus thirty-two inside-out versions (antiquarks) for a total of sixty-four (64) quarks. For further information see: 'Synergetics' by R. Buckminster Fuller 1975 pp 101, 535-9, 804-6 'Synergetics II' by R. Buckminster Fuller 1979 pages 263, 416. 2.2 COUNTER TETRAHEDONAL ANCHORING In 1963 R. Buckminster Fuller patented a method of anchoring structures so that they were horizontally stable under all conditions. He arranged two sets of tetrahedronally shaped anchors in such a way that they counter- torqued each other. For example, he foresaw the day when large passenger and cargo submarines would need to make transfers in mid-ocean. To that end, he designed large floating sub-surface ocean islands. For further info see: "Submarisle" by R. Buckminster Fuller 3-12-63 U.S.patent #3,080,583 'Inventions' by R. Buckminster Fuller 1983 pages 194-200, 294-8. 'The Artifacts of R. Buckminster Fuller, Volume 4' edited by James Ward 1985 pages 40-2. 2.3 BUCKY'S DNA MODEL The DNA genetic code is made out of only four proteins: adenine, thymine, guanine, & cytosine or a, t, g, and c which always form only two pairs:a-t & g-c. These proteins can be arranged into spiraling tetrahedra. Two sets of spiraling tetrahedra can be mated together to form a modelof dna. See: 'The Design Initiative' by R. Buckminster Fuller 1963 page 61 'Synergetics' by R. Buckminster Fuller 1975 pages 518-24 'Tetrascroll' by R. Buckminster Fuller 1982 pages 52-4. 2.4 FLOATING BREAKWATER/GENERATOR In 1979 R. Buckminster Fuller patented an economical breakwater that not only floated, but also could be adapted to generate significant amounts of electricity. A passing wave would lift one end of a triangular tube, thereby forcing the water inside to flow through a generator at the other end. This invention would allow the development of harbors at many locations, especially the numerous islands around the world that are uninhabited because they have no harbor and cheap source of energy. It would also be a significant additional source of clean, renewable energy. For more info see: "Floating Breakwater" by R. B. Fuller 1-30-79 U.S. patent # 4,136,994 'Inventions' by R. Buckminster Fuller 1983 pages 269-73 and 281-85 'The Artifacts of R. Buckminster Fuller, Volume IV' edited by James Ward 1985 pages 295-96 and 363-65 2.5 TETRAHEDRA TRUSSES R. Buckminster Fuller devised ways of building structures out of just tetrahedra. The tetrahedra could be both regular and stretched. The tension and compression components could be separated out in order to minimize the weight and cost. Tetra trusses can be used to build floors, walls, towers, boats, and even geodesic domes. For more information see: 'Geodesics' by Edward Popko 1968 figs 88 & 90 'Dymaxion World of R. Buckminster Fuller' 1973 by R. Buckminster Fuller & Robert Marks pages 165-6 'Synergetics' by R. Buckminster Fuller 1975 pages 404-8 'Inventions' by R. Buckminster Fuller 1983 pages 291-92 'Cosmography' by R. Buckminster Fuller 1992 pages 184-87 2.6 MID-OCEAN CITIES R. Buckminster Fuller proposed giant hollow tetrahedron floating cities anchored in mid-ocean. They would serve as harbors for transferring cargo, as airports, and as bases for ocean development. Similar type structures could be built on land. For more information see: 'Triton City--A Prototype Floating City' by the Triton Foundation, Inc Nov 1968 HUD Doc # PB 180-051/lc "Buckminster Fuller's Floating City", The Futurist (magazine) by Shoji Sadao Feb 1, 1969 pages _?_-_?_ 'Utopia or Oblivion' by R.

Buckminster Fuller, Vol 4' James Ward,ed 1985 pp175-80 3.0 OCTAHEDRA 3.1 OCTAHEDRA TRUSSES Both regular and stretched octahedra can be used to build all kinds of structures such as floors, roofs, walls, towers, hulls, spheres, etc. These components can be flat, curved, vertical, horizontal, single or double layered. The octahedra may be built of panels, struts, or separated tension and compression elements. For further information see: "Octahedral Truss" by R.

Buckminster Fuller, Volume 3' edited by James Ward 1985 pp 399-400 & 410-12 3.2 TWO MILE HIGH TOWERS The top triangle of an octahedron may be rotated so that it is pointing in the same direction as the bottom triangle. The octahedron is now said to be "polarized". Polarized octas may be stacked vertically and horizontally to form all kinds of structures. In 1966 fuller did a design feasibility study in which he proved that 12,250 foot high towers could be built using existing technology. These towers would be about five times higher than the presently highest tower.

Buckminster Fuller, Volume 4' 1985 edited by James Ward pages 83-91 4.0 OC-TETS 4.1 THE OC-TET TRUSS The combination of octahedra & tetrahedra produces a truss that has no redundency and it therefore is extremely strong and lightweight. It can produce just about any shape desired & since the components are all the same length, it may be easily mass-produced.

Buckminster Fuller, Vol 4' edited by James Ward 1985 pages 233-34 4.3 CURVED OCTET STRUCTURES R. Buckminster Fuller patented the octet truss in 1961. Octet trusses can not only be flat but formed into all sorts of curved shapes, such as cigar-shaped hulls for use in airplanes, ships, submarines, cars, trains, silos, tanks, or any other volume-enclosing shapes.

His models reflect nature's geometry as discovered by R. Buckminster Fuller. Snelson's models demonstrate that there are only seven possible geometric shapes that the local electron orbits can take.

Buckminster Fuller proposed a design for the ultimate (smallest and fastest) micro computer. A low voltage ac carrier of a given frequency (light?) fed to the central atom (radio transmitter antenna) of a cluster of identical atoms (diamond?) will generate a spherical wave of energy which will travel outward until it resonates with the layer of atoms corresponding to the input frequency. A modulating frequency may then be tuned to individual atoms in that layer. Variations of the very low ac current will permit addressing four different sets of electrons per atom. Variations of voltage would represent zeros & ones. The same procedure applied to the poles of that cluster of atoms would extract any stored energy (information). The number of atoms per shell may be calculated by using the formula: n = 10 (frequency squared) + 2. A flattened-out (unfolded) vector equilibrium or regular tetrahedron may be used to map each shell (layer) of atoms. For further information see: 'Synergetics' by R. B.

Buckminster Fuller's tensegrity octet truss has been proposed. It would be in the shape of a gigantic octahedron. People would live and work inside the hollow struts.

A foldable geodesic dome parachute would be attached to a box containing all the necessary equipment to make the dome shelter self-contained.

Buckminster Fuller & Robert Marks pp 199-200 5.4 LOW-COST HOUSING One of the fastest & cheapest ways of mass-producing geodesic domes is by using paperboard manufacturing machinery and printing presses. Thousands of domes per day costing only pennies per square foot could easily be produced and shipped all over the world. The cardboard would be treated so that it was fireproof, bugproof, rotproof, and waterproof. See: "Building Construction" by R. Buckminster Fuller 1959 U.S.patent 2,881,717 "Laminar Dome" by R.

In 1975 R. Buckminster Fuller suggested a design that would seem to solve all of the above problems. A wind turbine could be enclosed inside a geodesic dome. A ventilator mounted near the top of the dome would cause part or all of it to rotate as the wind direction changed. The low pressure area near the exit of the ventilator would draw air in from the bottom of the dome and out through the top, thereby turning the turbine blades and shaft attached to the generator. A flywheel would regulate fluctuations in wind speed. This wind machine could be operated in significantly higher wind speeds without being shut down. Capital and operating costs would be much lower because all heavy components would be on the ground and protected by the dome. Any noise would be contained inside the dome, and it's height would be a fraction of conventional towers. This breakthrough concept needs to be thoroughly checked out by competent authorities and either proven or not. If true, it could give a dramatic economic boost to a major segment of the alternative energy industry. See: "Dymaxion House" by R.

Buckminster Fuller designed a portable, self-contained, spherical, geodesic dome home that captured renewable energy through wind turbines, solar panels, and methane generators fitted into various round openings. Compressed air stored in the framework would power most appliances. It would be earthquake resistant and could withstand winds of over 200 mph and sell for about ten percent the cost of conventional homes!!. See: 'Utopia or Oblivion' by R.

Hermetically sealed plastic packets would be placed in cardboard boxes. The "waste" could then be converted into methane and fertilizer either on or off site.

Buckminster Fuller 1981 pages 310-15 'Stop the Five Gallon Flush', McGill Univ, Canada 1980 edited by Alvaro Ortega & Witold Rybczynski page 29 5.8 FULLER'S FOG GUN CLEANING SYSTEM As far back as 1948 R. Buckminster Fuller demonstrated a design for a scientific method of cleaning. 'Dymaxion World...' states: "His fog gun....afforded a new kind of bathing. It combined compressed air (200 psi) and atomized water with triggered-in solvents. The kinetic force of the high-pressure air stream was utilized without the skin-damaging effect unavoidable in high- pressure needle-pointing of water streams....." "....A one-hour massaging pressure bath used only a pint of water. If fog gun bathing were done in front of a heat lamp, all the sanitary and muscle-relaxing effects of other types of bathing could be effected without the use of any bathroom." This idea could also be adapted to washing dishes, clothes, vehicles,etc. See: 'The Dymaxion World of Buckminster Fuller' 1973 by R. Buckminster Fuller & Robert Marks pages 99-100 'Water Conservation & the Mist Experience', McGill Univ, Montreal, Canada by Alex Morse, Vikram Bhatt, & Witold Rybczynsky 1978 60 pages 5.9 OMNI-MEDIUM TRANSPORT For many years R. Buckminster Fuller envisioned a scientific car to complement his scientific house. It would be able to go on land, sea, or in the air. It would be capable of vertical take-off and landing. It would be relatively small and economical so that the average person could afford to own one and park it in the back yard or on the roof. It would be able to cruise at about 10,000 feet and fly approximately 300 miles per hour with a range of about 400 miles before refueling. It would be able to carry four people and cost no more than a medium priced car. Such vehicles are now being developed! For further information see: 'Dymaxion World of Buckminster Fuller' 1973 by R.

Buckminster Fuller found ways to minimize the weight and cost of structures by maximizing the tension and minimizing the compression elements. He called it tension integrity or "tensegrity". Using these techniques it is possible to build structures of unlimited size!! For further information see: "Tensegrity", Portfolio & Artnews Annual # 4 (magazine) by R.

The warm air thermal rising above a dome would pull warm air out from large openings around the bottom of a dome, thereby pulling bernoulli-effect cooled air in through a relatively small opening at the top of the dome.

Buckminster Fuller, Volume 3' edited by James Ward 1985 pages 72-5 6.5 EXPANDABLE GEODESIC DOMES R. Buckminster Fuller designed large, multi-story domes which could be easily expanded as the need arose. Inside a dome multiple octet-truss floors were suspended from a central hollow mast containing an elevator and utilities. To expand the whole structure, a larger dome would be constructed completely around and outside of the older, smaller dome. Then the old dome would be disassembled. Finally, the octet-truss floors would be extended out to the new walls. For further information see: 'The Dymaxion World of Buckminster Fuller' 1973 by R.

Buckminster Fuller, Volume 3' edited by James Ward 1985 pages 72-75 6.6 DOME-ENCLOSED CITIES Dome-enclosed cities use about 90 percent less energy to heat and cool than exposed cities because a dome has less surface exposed to the elements.

Buckminster Fuller proposed a one mile diameter crater city which would have living facilities for 125,000 people on the outside slope and public facilities on the inside slope. The sides of the crater would be hollow and contain rapid transit, roads, utilities, etc. See: "Buckminster Fuller Retrospective", Architectural Design (magazine) edited by Michael Ben-Eli Dec 1, 1972 pages 771-2 'Critical Path' by R. Buckminster Fuller 1981 pages 315-23 'The Artifacts of R. Buckminster Fuller, Volume 4' edited by James Ward 1985 pages 279-87 6.8 HUGE FLOATING SKY CITIES Fuller calculated that as geodesic tensegrity domes got larger than one half mile in diameter they would be able to float in the sky like clouds! Because the air inside the dome would be warmer and therefore lighter than the air outside, the whole dome would float like a hot air balloon! See: 'Utopia or Oblivion' by R.

Buckminster Fuller was working on lightweight, foldable structures which could be tightly packaged and later hydrolically or pneumatically opened up. Such structures could be useful on earth, the moon, and in space. Tensegrity domes have no inherent size limitations! He envisioned a mile-wide, double-skin, geodesic dome space station. Warm air trapped between the skins would cause it to float at the edge of space. An air-tight research capsule would be located inside. See: 'The Dymaxion World of R. Buckminster Fuller' 1973 by R.

See: "Energy Through Wind Power", New York Times (paper) by R.B.Fuller 1-17-74 p ? "Energy Economics", Ekistics 269 (mag) by R.B.Fuller 5-1-78 pp 164-171. 'Energy, Earth and Everyone' by Medard Gabel 1980 pages 204-7 8.2 A GLOBAL ENERGY PRODUCTION, STORAGE AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM As far back as 1955 R. Buckminster Fuller envisioned a comprehensive global system of energy production and distribution that would be the physical basis for mankind's future prosperity. He calculated that for everyone to have a "bare maximum" (decent) standard of living would require at least 40 megawatts per person per year. The world presently produces about 20 mw/person/year of which about 90% comes from nonrenewable sources which are estimated to be used up within the next 20 years or so! However, 16 different types of renewable energy could produce 10 times as much energy as we have now or 200 mw/person/year! These renewable sources could be fed into a global distribution system that would be capable of handling both east-west (daily) and north-south (monthly) fluctuations in demand. He also proposed a global system of high mountain, pumped-storage lakes to act as "batteries" to store surplus energy and release it when needed. With such a global energy generation and distribution system many economies of scale (savings) would be realized. He pointed out that development could take place in stages over a 50 year period with an ultimate goal of at least 1,000 times as much energy as the world has now (or 20,000 mw/person/year).

B. Fuller 1981 pp xxxii & xxxiii 8.3 ENERGY VS POPULATION R. Buckminster Fuller noticed while reviewing available global statistics that as an area's per capita energy consumption increased, the average birth rate for that area decreased! This fact has held true for every country of the world as it went through the process of industrialization. As the world's energy per capita goes up, the world's birth rate will go down.

Buckminster Fuller 1981 pages 206-07 8.4 HAVES VS HAVE-NOTS As far back as 1952 R. Buckminster Fuller pointed out that the percentage of poor in the world as compared to total population has since 1900 been steadily declining. In the last 337 years the percentage of the world's population that were poor has gone from about 99% to less than 30% in spite of the fact that the earth's population has increased from less than one billion to five billion+ today! Throughout all history before 1900 approximately all (99%) of humanity was poor. His explanation for this abrupt change in the human condition was that mankind had finally learned through an increasing understanding of the laws of nature how to "do more with less". In other words, science and inventions alone can account for our sudden wealth! For further information see: 'Utopia or Oblivion' by R.

Buckminster Fuller started conducting a global simulation which would take into account all the resources of the earth in trying to figure out how to meet all the physical needs of all the people of the world. He found that by using only proven technology it was now finally possible to take care of everyone at a decent standard of living! See: '50 Years of Design Science Revolution & the World Game' by R.

Therefore, the basic unit vector of a tetrahedron formed by these atoms must also equal two (2). If a tetrahedron is made out of unit vectors with a value of 2, then the edges of a cube containing this same tetrahedron must have a value of the square root of 2 (or 1.4142136). This is how to convert from our present artificial ninety degree cubical system of measuring to nature's much simpler sixty degree system. For further information see: 'Synergetics' by R.

Has anyone seen any recent (10 years or so) articles or plans for corrogated cardboard domes [a-la Fuller's patent]? I'm particularly interested in whether anyone developed an application of this design that would cheaply waterproof the panels, as well as provide decent seals at the seams (the bane of dome construction). Related concept: has there ever been any attempt to use the pasteboard dome as a base upon which some sort of membrane (plastic, asphault, etc.) is sprayed or otherwise applied? For that matter, what about overlaying a pasteboard dome with wire mesh and doing thin-shell concrete (perhaps with the new technique of mixing styrofoam into the slurry to reduce the weight and increase its insulating capabilities)? Final rambling inquiry on this concept: what is the theoretical maximum size for a pasteboard dome? Additionally, after receiving and reviewing a bit of information from a number of readers, I am in the process of writing a paper on whether Bauersfeld's Jena dome and related patent would or should have had any effect on the propriety of Fuller's original geodesic dome patent (i.e., should the patent have been granted in the first place in light of the Bauersfeld prior art). This will be an analysis from a patent law perspective, and will not address the issue of whether Fuller independently derived his concepts or not. To this end, if anyone has a copy of an english translation of the Bauersfeld / Zeiss patent, please let me know, as it will be rather expensive for me to get otherwise. Also, if anyone is interested in reviewing and commenting on drafts of the paper as it develops, or has information on the degree to which Fuller knew or later became aware of the Bauersfeld dome, please let me know.

Ed Applewhite's Cosmic Fishing, about the collaborative process of writing Synergetics, and some of Fuller's own rationales for his style link in here. Ed would take notes as Fuller talked, first into a tape recorder, then just to Ed when the recorder proved a distraction, and Ed would type up Fuller's descriptions, double or triple spaced. Fuller would then cram more complete expressions between the lines, greatly expanding the first draft. Unfortunately (from the publisher's point of view), Fuller wanted to continue this revisioning process on into the final stages of prepublication. In fact, Synergetics 2 is this process carried to the postpublication phase, it's numbered passages designed to interpolate between those already printed in the first volume. The books were not complete, polished synopses, but the results of a collaboration and, in some respects, collision of wills. Ed is an very literate guy, a published writer of scholarly works, but is not comfortable with mathematical notation. The fact that synergetics is, in a very real sense, Bucky's attempts to make his ideas clear to Ed in particular, accounts for a lot. But Ed is a good representative of the kind of audience for which the language of synergetics was aimed: the intelligent layman (Ed once had some business cards printed up with "Layman" as his title). > >>The jitterbug-like twisting of the icosahedron into a cuboctahedron >>has been found in the growth of molecular clusters in superheated and >>then cooled gases. > >i thought that the jitterbug transformations he described involved >the twisting of a cuboctahedron (vector equilibrium) through the >icosahedron phase eventually into an octahedron. he describes the >inward-outward pulsation of the twisting triangles (within their >"containing" cubes) as some sort of complete model for electromagnetic >radiation. This is all true. The so-called jitterbug transformation permeates much of synergetics and is the source of one of its most successful spin-off "toys": the vector flexor. The wooden dowel and rubber tubing model twists down even further than the octahedron, into a tetrahedron, which can turn inside out and then untwist the other way. A full jitterbug seems to be a VE<->icosa<->octa<->tetra<->0<->tetra<->octa<->icosa<->VE thing, where one side of 0 is the inside-out (mirror image) of the other side. This relates to Fuller's "bow tie Universe", which he cites as one of his earliest insights, embedded in some of the most cryptic "proto-synergetics". That's another reason we can't look at it as a grab-bag or inventory of loosely connected insights. There are these underlying themes or metaphors which really inform the whole of Bucky's vision. "Octaphase", midway between the most expanded VE and contracted 0, which we might associate with our size/level/ frequency here in the biosphere, midway between the supergalactic and the infra-atomic, is connected to the chaotic and complex in synergetics. Life seems to thrive "in the middle" of the smallest- to-largest spectrum. >>the various classes of domes (I, II and III) >which classes are these? where could i find documentation on this? Lots of literature here. International Journal of Space Structures is a good source, though too spendy for ordinary individuals to subscribe to. Dome class has to do with how the 20 icosa triangles line up with a triangular grid. Picture a piece of "graph paper" consisting of equilateral triangles instead of squares. Imagine holding a biggish equilateral triangle made of 3 rigid edges (a metal frame). You could put it on the paper so the grid triangles filled it, aligning along its edges (Class I), or turn it such that the frame bisected the triangles (Class II), or tilt it, but still lining up with grid vertices, giving a "skew" relationship between the wire frame and the grid (Class III). >>chemistry.

On the other hand, Fuller considered size and time inseparable aspects of energetic existence. He emphasizes that his 4D concept is not to be equated with Einstein's 3D plus 1D (time). Instead, volume (e.g. Euclidean space) is inherently 4D. Heighth, width and depth are not mutually separable or isolatable attributes of space. 4 arrows radiating from an origin in the 4 directions indicated by the 4 corners of a tetrahedron provide the simplest picture of symmetric expansion. Think of the tips of a regular tetrahedron as 4 arrowheads: as the tetrahedron expands, it fills space equally in all directions from its original center. The Cartesian system reputedly consists of 3 directions instead of 4, so one might say it is simpler yet, but I see six arrow heads expanding in the directions indicated by the 6 vertices of a regular octahedron. This "3D" picture is not as simple as Fuller's "4D" tetrahedron. In some passages, time/energy added to purely conceptual, sizeless space, is portrayed as adding another dimension (5D). Elsewhere, Fuller expresses his frustration with the concept of "dimension" in general and prefers to speak of "powers". The sizeless (only angularly defined) is 4D. Once you enter the universe of energy, tetrahedra have relative size attributes, last a finite amount of time etc., as so have "frequency" (life cycles in the world of mortal existence). 4D is "prefrequency" (angular only) whereas 4D + time/size is the energetic universe of actual special-case events. Spatio- temporal events express prefreqency (timeless) principles in their infinite multiplicity. Fuller also links the prefrequency (time and size independent) concept to Euler, the time/size concept to Gibbs. Euler represents the purely geometric, topological eternal. The Gibbs phase rule, being about the phase space of real chemistry (time/size/heat/energy/entropy/life/death), is associated with the messier reality of actual existence. Pure principles are Platonic, but life as we know it is special case. I go on at such length to illustrate how I think the language of synergetics is trying to take the full spectrum of human experience, including age-old cogitations on the relation between time and eternity, and map it to a single "coordinated system" of inter- meshing, geometric concepts. This is the "unified field" of human experience, not just of four or five physical forces found in nature. We have been taught to think things like "religion has no place in physics" or "poetic expression should be kept separate from scientific expression" and there's a lot of reasons for this: we need discipline, we need to protect our fragile rationality, depicted by Jungians as a tiny island in the sea of the unconscious. But Fuller was up to something different, saying that Nature and Experience are Unitary, and so a language which mirrors all aspects of life, and shimmers with multiple meanings depending on the viewing angle, ought to be possible, and ought to contain precision and gem-like crystalline orderliness even while permitting a kind of mystical, speculative gaze from time to time. Like tension and compression, the mystical and strictly literal always and only coexist. >currently i would like nothing more than to spend a significant amount >of time studying further and developing a suite of software related >to some of the concepts of Synergetics - because my feeling is that >it would really come alive given some interactive animations. reading >and puzzling through the geometry requires an exceptional level of >concentration and especially spacial imagination, which could be >so tidily augmented by a few buzzing silicon chips. please point >me toward any significant existing efforts in this direction if you >know of any. the possibilities are very exciting. > If you had access to the World Wide Web, you could check out my synergetics pages at http://www.teleport.com/~pdx4d/synhome.html where you would see some of the excellent graphics Richard Hawkins, Chris Fearnley and Joe Moore have contributed.

I don't think Fuller would like to have his geometries separated from his philosophical meanderings. A big part of what Fuller was all about was cutting across specializations. I pulled this from his _Intuition_: And wherever they came from, The thoughts arranged in this book Are discoveries Of its author Since he first came in 1913 To think That nature did not have Separate departments of Mathematics, physics, Chemistry, biology, History, and languages, Which would require Department head meetings To decide what to do Whenever a boy threw A stone in the water, With the complex of consequences Crossing all departmental lines. Ergo, I came to think that nature Has only one department -- And I set out to discover its Obviously Omnirational Comprehensively co-ordinate system, And thankfully found it. Here we have, not only a wonderfully concise explanation of the core of Bucky Fuller's philosophy, but a good example of how he tried, at times, to make his prose more readable. He knew as well as anyone that his sentences were difficult to assimilate, and so he developed what he called ``ventilated prose,'' though we might call it free verse. (It's interesting to note that _Intuition_ opens up with a note from Ezra Pound expressing his admiration of Fuller.) His ``long cumbersome sentences'' were part of his dedication to his ideal vision of humanity. To use the language of mathematics would have meant that Bucky's ideas could only be understood by mathematicians. To use any other form -- chemical equations, say, or perhaps Shakespearean sonnets -- would have been to limit his writings to just one department. Fuller chose his language carefully and so it is his own language; thus it is not tied to any one discipline. This also means it is not easily grasped by anyone versed in only one discipline. Reading Fuller is an art in itself. I've found, in my limited experience -- and I expressed this before I even encountered Buckminster Fuller -- that mastering most subjects is a matter of vocabulary. Conceptually, no field of human endeavor is hard to understand; but understanding what's going on requires learning the vocabulary. I was taught this in high school in a class I had in biochemistry: our teacher taught us to learn the vocabulary first and let the rest follow. Vocabulary is why scientific journal articles are so impossible to apprehend, much less comprehend. Fuller believed that this was a major problem. His gift was not actually coming up with anything new, but making connections between existing things that no one else made because they were too specialized. So those ``concise mathematical statements'' would have been even more obfuscating than the prose he used; just not to you or other mathematicians. In fact, I've skimmed _Godel Escher Bach_, and while I expect to someday read it through, my biggest complaint about it is its heavy math content. And this is coming from someone who has a degree in computer science which required enough math courses to qualify for a math minor! Weeding through complex mathematical notation is agonizing for me (imagine my four years of college!). Had Fuller resorted to math notation, would his ideas have been more rigorously self-criticized? Perhaps. But I can't help recalling this quote from _Synergetics_ 250.61: Proofs of some of my theoretical discoveries have been made by myself and will be made by myself. Proofs have been made by others and will be made by others. Proofs are satisfying. But many mathematical theorems provide great living advantages for humanity over long periods of time before their final mathematical proofs are discovered. The whys and wherefores of what is rated as mathematical proof have been evolved by mathematicians; they are formal and esoteric conventions between specialists. The question of whether or not anyone's done anything with Fuller's synergetic geometry is one that comes up a lot -- both in my own mind and in conversations I have with ``non-Fullerians'' (I sometimes think I'm starting to sound like a Fullerian evangelist. What a horrible thing to become!). I'm forced to say that I don't know of anyone actually using his ideas to implement any theories or prove or disprove anything. Fuller's work still seems fairly ``fringe.'' I know I learned about Fuller through reading Robert Anton Wilson, who pushed Fuller (along with Timothy Leary, John Lilly and Aleister Crowley) as being the authors to read to start on the road to controlling your own brain/mind (as opposed to living with the one you were programmed with originally). I've found that Fuller's work has lived up to that, at least: I've learned about my own paradigms, my own thought processes, and my own programming, by reading about Fuller's alternative worldview. Essentially, for me it worked like this: find the part of Fuller's writings that I found hard to swallow. Examine why I found this so difficult to believe. Often, the reasons aren't reasons at all, but eventually boil down to ``I just don't think so'' -- that is, to programming. Interesting stuff, to be sure.

Julia sets) more than shiny spheres? then there would be no validity in the supposition that we occupy somehow the "middle" of the scale spectrum. it is also not at all impossible that our universe is inside of a subatomic particle of some other universe. one view that i very much enjoy contemplating is that Universe forms a "scale loop", meaning that Universe might be found to be located within each and every elementary particle in Universe. this view would suggest that we occupy one "side" of the loop. -- ________________ ___________ _________________ ____/ gerald de jong \____/ rotterdam \____/ the netherworld \____ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ living on a billiard table, just a tad above sea level (4th floor) ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 29 Nov 1994 18:00:34 +0100 Reply-To: gerald@tacit.xs4all.nl Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: Gerald de Jong Organization: Tacit Software Subject: Synergetics - the book In <199411272048.MAA12224@desiree.teleport.com> pdx4d@teleport.com (Kirby Urner) writes: >>he meant the readers to shuffle through the results and pick things >>that they might find to be useful. >I'd put it a little differently: meant readers to continue his >explorations, absorbing the geometric strategies and insights and >applying them wherever results looked promising, as he tried to do. i much prefer your wording. >>in the first place.. but still it seems glaringly unfinished. >Unfortunately (from the publisher's >point of view), Fuller wanted to continue this revisioning process >on into the final stages of prepublication. it's unfortunate that he didn't (couldn't) involve himself in the building of an electronic hypertext version of his work (like WWW pages), because such a medium would have captured the cross-referencing very nicely and allowed some images and animations. >the intelligent layman (Ed once had some business cards printed up with >"Layman" as his title). heh heh. that's typical of the sense of humor that can be found in Synergetics as well. -- ________________ ___________ _________________ ____/ gerald de jong \____/ rotterdam \____/ the netherworld \____ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ living on a billiard table, just a tad above sea level (4th floor) ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 29 Nov 1994 22:42:18 -0800 Reply-To: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: 127 House Organization: Teleport - Portland's Public Access (503) 220-1016 Subject: Re: Pasteboard domes and misc.

Amy's book is somewhat more mathematical, although not excessively so. She was a student of Dr. Loeb's at Harvard, who also wrote that more mathematical addendum to Synergetics. Loeb was originally to have collaborated with Fuller more intimately on the entire work, but, as you well know, their styles are just too incompatible to permit any kind of seamless coauthoring efforts. >i'm for different "translations". i just doubt that it would stand >up to the test of formalization - it remains somewhere between literary >and poetic. Some parts of it are clearly mathematizable. Proving that the 12, 42, 92 around 1 arrangement (IVM packing) is actually a "densest" packing was only proved recently, and is a very difficult proof I understand. The Jitterbug, in its icosa<->cubocta phase, is treated in very scholarly math books (not called that though, and no reference to Fuller). The dimensions of the polyhedra, e.g. the A,B and T modules, all involve computation and are correct (Euler had a way of computing a tetrahedron's volume just given its 6 edges, which comes in useful for getting A, B module volumes). Robert Gray has worked on formalizing the Dymaxion Map transformation, using standard mathematical notation (has just finished a paper on that). I think the geometry is easily verified and "rigorized" (rigor mortisized?) by standard mathemetics. Your doubts probably focus more on what I'd call the "physics" of synergetics.

Yes, unfortunate. But that leaves a lot of interesting work for those of us who want to get involved in it. Ed tried to take advantage of the cross-referencing. His strategy for documenting Fuller was to put everything on a note card. This huge number of notecards was then published as a 4-volume work by Garland press, the cards being cross-referenced to one another, sorted alphabetically, indexed by publication and so on. I've often thought Ed's Synergetics Dictionary would be a good place to start an electronic Bucky archives. >>the intelligent layman (Ed once had some business cards printed up with >>"Layman" as his title). > >heh heh. that's typical of the sense of humor that can be found >in Synergetics as well. > >-- >gerald de jong Kirby PS: for someone who lives on a billiard table, a favorite locus of Newtonian mechanics demonstrations, you have a remarkably post-Newtonian outlook. ------------------------------------------------ Kirby T.

Of light's finite speed. I think Fuller tried to comprehend relativity in terms of "non-simultaneous" Universe. His contention that Universe itself is inherently aconceptual (not visualizable as a "thing with shape" does not seem to have been accepted in physics, where Universe is often depicted "from the outside" as an observable "thing"). Also, saying that "time" and "size" are inseparable aspects of events, not really distinguishable in principle, is, I suppose, a way of stating that space and time coordinates are part of a single "memory address". No explicit dealing with Lorentz contraction type stuff, as far as I recall, even in secondary stuff not in synergetics per se. >>Heighth, width and depth are not >>mutually separable or isolatable attributes of space. > >with those three coordinates, however, you can locate an object in >static space. what are you locating if you specify four co-ordinates >in the tetrahedrally arranged axes? Any three edges of the tetrahedron, not all in the same plane, define a zig-zag with implies the other three edges (creating volume as a tetrahedron). Using 3 axes of a tetrahedron is not to contradict that the concepts of "inside" versus "outside" appear with the concept of "container" (space=a volume), and the tetrahedron is the most primitive volume. I skewed Cartesian system, filling space with rhombohedra (diamond- faced hexahedra) instead of cubes, can be made to align with all the centers of closest packed spheres, such that any integer coordinates (i,j,k) indicate a sphere center. But in any case, Fuller does not use (x,y,z) notation or equate a fourth coordinate with time. >> 4 arrows >>radiating from an origin in the 4 directions indicated by the 4 >>corners of a tetrahedron provide the simplest picture of symmetric >>expansion. > >true. unless one considers a sphere to be simple, whick i know >Fuller did not. Right. He played the game with edges, vertices and window-openings. The tetrahedron is the simplest simplex wherein all these topological entities first relate to give insidedness vs outsidedness. A sphere is a network of chords and tiny triangular openings, there being no solid, continuous, impermeable surfaces, even in principle, in synergetics. >>Fuller expresses his frustration with the concept of "dimension" >>in general and prefers to speak of "powers". > >those were the sections of Synergetics where i had the most trouble >trying to understand what he was getting at. i fail to see how >separating a number out into its prime factors so elegantly elicidates >five-dimensionality and such. i wondered what you do with the rest >of the number when you're paying attention to the powered factor. I think you're refering to the "Numerology" sections, the "indigs" and all that. I wasn't thinking of that section when I wrote about powers vs dimensions. On dimensions, what do you think of using triangles and tetrahedra to model 2nd and 3rd powering, vs squares and cubes. >> The sizeless (only angularly defined) is 4D. >> 4D is "prefrequency" (angular only) whereas 4D + time/size >>is the energetic universe of actual special-case events. > >what is time/size in this description? a scalar value? How about "total energy content of Universe" (a scalar I suppose). But within Universe we have vectors. Fuller seems to equate energy vectors with mass x velocity (mv), but of course this is not standard physics. Making mv=energy was played with in the early days, but now energy units are in units of m v v. >> But Fuller was up to something different, >>saying that Nature and Experience are Unitary, and so a language >>which mirrors all aspects of life, and shimmers with multiple >>meanings depending on the viewing angle, ought to be possible, >>and ought to contain precision and gem-like crystalline orderliness >>even while permitting a kind of mystical, speculative gaze from >>time to time.

I think it gave Fuller a lot of intellectual satisfaction, some of which is available to the rest of us. Using geometry to symbolize thought systems (regardless of what their about) or spheres to symbolize "experiences" (of whatever) is the kind of thing Fuller does to make synergetics comprehensive. But I don't think, in practice, the idea is to "think in synergetics" about everything. I think of synergetics as another computer language (human language variables).

I'm not making any animations available via my web site yet. Just lots of stills. Of course we have kits and models to get our hands dirty with (real glue, yuk!) in the meantime.

Try: LISTSERV%LISTSERV.NCSU.EDU@MITVMA.MIT.EDU I did not try it. Btw, general info: the city of Montreal decided to give an ecological vocation to the old Expo 67 US pavilion (the big aluminum geosphere). The new mayor, Pierre Bourque, seams to be an ecolo-kind-of-guy. However, I do not know exactly what form the project will take. I'll try to keep you updated. Ah, also, they DO mention B. Fuller when talking about the project... Marc Tremblay, AD Technologies Inc., Montreal
