By bouncing around within the text at high frequency, you get the holes, the "novents" to start gravitating together -- a sense of convergence. But the eternal generalization remains a "between the lines" aspect (hence "semi-metaphorical verities") simply because time is linear, vectorial, special case, and the principles are omnispherical, eternally permeating, and therefore outside of conceptuality in some prefrequency sense -- but we still have a sense of "zooming in" and "getting close" and "fine tuning" vis-a-vis this zeropoint aconceptual anchorpoint (the apex sphere of the pyramid -- see below). An analogy Fuller used early on was punched cards, like we used to feed to computers. Each card is an experience. If you get a whole stack together and hold the stack up to the light, maybe you see straight through the stack in a few positions, because every card has a hole in the same place -- a picture of "exceptionless". After you've seen a few hundred science fiction movies, you have a feel for the standard characters and plots -- you start to get good at anticipating what's next, because you know the formulae (which you might diagram in some book about movie-making). No single frame of film "is" a generalized principle -- the principles "come through" in the relationships and your degree of comprehension (vs. apprehension) is likewise your level of access to the "prefrequency logical space" of the "generic story". Synergetics centers around a central distinction: subfrequency-primitive versus plural-potential. The latter includes a doubling or repetition, both circumferentially and in an outward direction -- because the VE is modularized in both ways at once (edge and radial subdivision are conceptually part of the same model). There's a Russian Dolls picture here, with the one doll having the same shape (angular definition) as the other, and the plurality of dolls suggesting self-containment, a sense of "I'm a viewpoint inside a viewpoint" or "I'm high enough frequency to fit inside" ("high" going with "small" in this case, as when energy is changing angular direction quickly enough to follow the contours of an atomic circuit -- the job of an electron in some contexts). In 935.10, Fuller is talking about energy flow and discontinuity. Appropriately, he converges two threads: the discovery that light has a top speed, and how slowly the implications of this discovery filtered outward from the point of this discovery, to eventually transform our cosmology. Ole Roemer (1644-1710), the "notable exception" who got it about light, was an early star, and only centuries later did the relevance of his discovery begin to dawn in either esoteric or popular consciousness, most notably being received, and fused with several other threads, in the stellar mind of Albert Einstein. In my book at least, plural-potential links to the concept of "animated from within" -- if you can get inside of Synergetics, and grow through it, that's different from puzzling over a lot of subfrequency blueprints, wondering what the time-activatived version might be like (I'm thinking of the film version of Carl Sagan's 'Contact' starring Jodie Foster, which I just recently viewed). This is not to confine the distinction to Synergetics of course -- any thoughtful, systematic outlook has its flip-side divergent aspect, which creates onlooker or outsider viewpoints, some identifying as candidates proposing to inside-out converge (others high-tailing it out of there, in no way wishing to get "abducted" or "Shanghaied" by any crew of alien-minded insiders). Synergetics shock-absorbs by activating hyperlinks, opening and closing circuitry gaps circumferentially. An omni-triangulated surface consists entirely of 3-vector zigzags (as I inductively proved at my website) and the fact of light having a top speed means 180 degree "equal and opposite" is "too instantaneous" a picture -- rather it's the comple- mentarity of interstabilizing open triangles that keeps our thinking systematic, e.g. the intertransformability of protons and neutrons via 3-vector half- quantum teams -- and not some rigidly dogmatic, Newton Era idealization around actions devoid of side-effects. Here, where the two half-quanta meet, Fuller suggests Synergetics has restored conceptuality to science-minded quantum mechanics, such that now the humanities-trained might follow along, seeing the 3-tetra arc as a kind of bridge over C.P. Snow's troubling cultural divide, or perhaps a twisting corkscrew, able to uncork the scientist's most opaque-seeming bottles and make their contents palatable to thirsty philosophers. Our curriculum is load-bearing after all, with lots of compartmentalizing departments able to absorb the shock from many different angles, and to set up useful feedback loops among the various faculties such that Synergetics can safely filter through our university systems by a process of osmosis, thereby giving us sufficient time to work through all the implications. Boltzmann's regenerativity model is another theme here, which links precessionally to the Scenario of the Child: "Einstein must have noted that on Earth children do not disintegrate entropically but multiply their hydrocarbon molecules in an orderly fashion; little saplings grow in an orderly way to become big trees" writes Bucky. The octahedron enters as the prime mediator of quantum transfer in this Boltzmann-Roemer-Einstein informed scenario. Other key concepts are crystal (octahedron as most common crystalline formation) and doubling (octahedron as double vectored). Then we get a model of stress in system A causing precessional arcing effects, which are tuned in by system B, reversing the energy "loss" -- which was only locally experienced by stressed and/or disintegrateing system A after all. Universe, eternally regenerative in this picture, loses neither energy nor integrity when it all starts "coming apart at the seams" (that's from A's point of view) -- somewhere else, there's an influx of new investments, new energy receipts. By wrapping itself around dense-packed spheres and bringing a lot of concepts into tightly knit, and interattractively memorable relationships, Synergetics has carved out a secure niche for itself -- is here to stay in other words. Which doesn't mean we can't take steps to counter (or at least control) its further growth. On the contrary, we should enlist some of our most talented and sensitive people, scientists included, to keep this Synergetics business from getting completely out of hand -- so we can keep whatever curriculum phase-in relatively smooth, even if chaotic in some dimensions. Bucky talks about the pluri-potential viewpoint in 1033.180, wherein the subfrequency rhombic dodeca is the single unit-radius sphere circumbscribing one, of volume six. But when you pack 12 spheres around one to give a 20-volumed VE, you've set the stage for 8-folding volumes, with both the insphere VE of 2.5 and the circumsphere rhombic dodeca of 6 blowing up to volumes of 8x2.5=20 and 8x6=48 respectively. This outward step in turn sets the stage for ongoing "frequency zooming" since once the potential of moving in this direction has been realized, the ellipitical '...' enters the picture, signifying omnidirectional frequency growth from a nucleus (1, 2 -> many). To the "saplings becoming trees" (Scenario of the Child) I hyperlink Tree Structures (793.00) wherein we read "What nature ships in the seeds are the DNA-RNA coded instructions on how to utilize the resources of the locally ccurring water, gases, and chemical elements at the planting site." I circle "nature ships", noting the precessed octa 3-tet helix looks somewhat boat-like -- a fact which it helps to remember when thinking of "arc transport" (e.g. of that invisible fourth quantum). Also recall that DNA-RNA is memetically hyperlinked to the tetrahelix in Synergetics. Note the "load bearing" thread here -- using pneumatics to distribute strains in ways that permit continued, tapered growth. And note the related communications thread: "Forces being applied telegraph throughout the whole system" and "wirelessly beamed or wired-beam transmissions" -- the beamed message traffic as cone-shaped again, with concentric rings, like trees. This is the convergence/divergence meme again -- a fractal tree-like pattern of progressive and structurally tetrahedral offshoots, aimed at maximizing efficiency while meeting severe compressional challenges (landing a jumbo jet for example). Synergetics is not a system so much as a context for systems, with the concentric hierarchy and the definition of systematic and omni- triangulated vertexial polynets ala 2PF^2+2 providing etymological content for omnisymmetric and spherically growth-patterned considerations. But systems have a local time-and-place origin many times -- you tune in what you need to get the job done here and now (that might include knowing some Unix or other computer-related gizmickry). Synergetics is about "blowing bubbles" and seeing both the generic and special case attributes of these. The artifacts, e.g. the time/size realized domes and spheres, are spin-off, utilitarian applications of the generalized principles, as are giraffes and alligators (which designs embody many more principles than human beings have been able to fully comprehend -- we still get apprehensive around animals, even as we treasure them and manage to breed-groom-domesticate a few). I think of the Pyramid of Generalizations. Reality is a lot of special case events stored and retrieved in connection with whatever real time experiences you're having right now -- considered in various systematic ways, with an eye towards discerning pattern integrities -- which get saved as more special case events (maybe with Aha! or Eureka! scribbled nearby). Prefrequency is atemporal, and you get closer to it in time by flipping through lots of special cases really quickly, in ways that evidence "general principles at work". The "slow grow" bubble is the template one, since billions of special cases might blow by with nary a new principle to register, once we've got lots of them down. Not that we lose our sense of "knowing that we don't know" -- a large and intuitive "reserved space" is set aside in advance, in the awareness that we're still operating a draft template, in many ways rough and unrefined. But the special cases many not sort into comprehensible generalities, or only into ones we already feel we previously got, leaving the template bubble in a status quo state, no longer growing, for whatever reasons. In a sense, such "no growth" is akin to "death" -- if I know so much I have no further growth potential, I must be dead to the world. On the other hand, this frustrating sense of not getting it may likewise be the hallmark of my whole template having fatal flaws, with the buildup of inexplicable special cases reflecting the obsolescence of my mirror, my crystal ball, in which case BANG! (painful) and I'm back to a single tetrahedron to start over with, omnitriangulating towards a new paradigm that, this time I hope, will be better able to keep up with what I sense is going on around me. So I'm saying everything you think, feel, experience is special case (has a beginning, middle, end -- duration in time) but that you can "grow into" a more centered viewpoint from which stuff takes on a "sense making" aspect -- because you have a sense of the rules. A chemist watching a bunch of lab happenings can think about the chemical principles being demonstrated, and get some quiet satisfaction from their exceptionless flavor, and from having some kind of mental access to the prefrequency domain, such that ascent to higher levels within the Pyramid of Generalizations -- is what we might retrospectively consider a rewarding career path. If a test tube starts floating for no apparent reason, we're back to apprehension (vs. comprehension) and maybe it's back to the drawing board re the principles (upsetting, but that's life -- full of opportunities to rethink and revisit). Synergetics is a toolkit of stuff Bucky found useful, and we have every reason to think might remain relevant, given that he never stopped growing thoughout a long and productive lifetime, even if his metaphysical growth pattern was tapered by definition, slowing in contrast to the acceleration of special cases accommodated by his increasing appreciation for the sense-making aspects of Universe. But is Synergetics justified in promoting this notion that it's a sense-making, growing body of scientific principles-informed thinking, versus a hodgepodge of hyperinflated metaphorics, a hot air balloon doomed to burst, leaving its adherents looking foolish? The concentric hierarchy seems a useful enough blueprint -- so the temptation is to cut that beating heart out of its surrounding circuitry and plant it elsewhere, because the rest of the body seems too alien in a lot of ways. The alternative is maybe to keep pumping it up as a purely literary work while keeping it segregated from the "real" sciences. My view is that Synergetics is self-contained enough to be worth keeping around and using. It will change its shape in the hands of future generation developers of course, but it already has secure enough moorings by now to keep it broadcasting a steady signal, conveying a sense of its powerfully gyroscopic inertial dynamism. As you can see, this is more a reading in the philosophy department than one which physicists or chemists would consider native language -- but I think the "Pyramid of Generalizations" meme and the "apprehension vs. comprehension" distinction has applicability in these fields as well. Hence the generic, interdisciplinary nature of the Synergetics-informed approach. ---------------------------------------------------- Kirby Urner "ALL realities are 'virtual'" -- KU Email: pdx4d@teleport.com Web: http://www.teleport.com/~pdx4d/ ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 3 Sep 1997 03:24:45 GMT Reply-To: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: Kirby Urner Organization: 4D Solutions Subject: Re: Help making 3-d mathematical objects Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit khudson@mindspring.com wrote: >I want to make 3-d mathematical objects to hang in my classroom. >Can anyone point me in the right direction of where to look to get >patterns for this? > >thanks >khudson@mindspring.com Lots of books provide templates for folding -- some of these are quite good, though the more complicated shapes tax the patience of those not yet hooked as hobbyists (origami is the same way -- "entry level" gives way to "for the experts" with only some of us having the time to really develop our skills in that direction -- not me). What is more often than not missing from the classroom decor is a tie-together theme. The Platonic and Archimedean polysets are about the only ones taught (Carolina Biological Supply had some good posters in this area -- glossy, colorful (I took some to the Royal Kingdom of Bhutan for mom's classroom in Thimphu in the 1980s)). My focus is the so-called Concentric Hierarchy, which reminds people of Kepler's explorations in that direction (there's a widely circulated graphic -- probably on the web someplace), but which goes further in rationalizing polyhedra and inte- grating them into the curriculum more successfully. You'll find more details re this Hierarchy at my website, but I'll give a brief text-based description here as well (realizing this will cause disconnect by most readers, as reading about polyhedra without being able to visualize them makes for some pretty nonsensical wordiness): Start with the regular tetrahedron. It turns inside out to make another with points protruding through the faces of the first -- the dual tet. The 8 points of both tets make a cube. Both the cube and its dual, the octahedron, embed as short and long diagonals of the rhombic dodecahedron respectively (Kepler often gets credit discovering this shape, which is a space-filler). Here's the fun part: if the tetrahedron is ascribe a volume of unit (one), then the volume of the duo-tet cube is 3, the octahedron 4 and the rhombic dodecahedron 6. This is way simpler than the volumetric tables currently pushed in the curriculum, which stick to the time-honored "cube = unit of volume" and which take the cube's edge as the only relevant control length for doing the other shapes (e.g. the ArchiPlatonics). R. Buckminster Fuller, inventor of the geodesic dome, hit on this alternative schema circa 1944 and continued developing on it for the rest of his life, in the context of a trully spacey metaphysics most people seem to have given up on (after 20 years, you still don't find it studied in our university philosophy departments), but which nevertheless contains this central gem, this concentric hierarchy, that is easily accessible to elementary schoolers. The hierarchy continues, with rhombic dodecahedra packing 12- around-1 (in the manner of dense-packed spheres) to define the vertices of a 20-volumed cuboctahedron (recalling the tetrahedron is unit). Additional layers of dense-packed spheres remain cubocta- hedrally conformed, and successively contain 42, 92, 162... 10L^2+2 spheres, where L is the 'layer number' (or 'frequency' as Fuller terms it). H.S.M. Coxeter, big name geometer, considered this formula almost too good to be true when he first learned of it -- but given a few clues, an inspired high schooler will likely be able to prove it (plus some related variants for other sphere- packed conformations). This is where practical applications start to enter the picture, as this nucleated, omnidirectional sphere-packing (likewise Kepler-style packing of rhombic dodecahedra) is well-known in crystallography and provides a constant density peg-board or point-dispersion (defined by the sphere centers) suitable for other geometric investigations as well (Fuller uses this dispersion as an idealized snapshot of an ideal gas, linking to Avogadro's Law). This so-called 'face-centered cubic packing' (dubbed something else by Fuller) is also well-known to grocery store workers, as an attractive way for stacking fruits. Kids will want to make some of these packings as classroom projects -- ping pong balls and glue is one option. We still need bulk-suppliers of affordable, ecosensitive rhombic dodecahedra though -- most of the kits available today are way over priced given the tiny, specialized market in graduate schools (e.g. in the molecular biology departments). We can also make a link into virology here, as the cubocta- hedron as a wireframe (made of wooden dowels and rubber joints) is capable of twist-contracting to the five-fold symmetrical icosahedron (which fails to have a rational volume in the hierarchy, though it remains concentric). There's a way to envision this transformation with a layer of spheres in the outer shell, which morphs you into approximate congruence with some of the viral sheaths (the protein coverings which protect the genetic sequence coiled inside -- ready for injection into unwitting bacterial hosts). The story as told from the virologist's point of view is far more ornate of course -- this simple virus model only hints at the many special-case details of that fascinating subject -- but the fact remains that we've given kids a bridge from simple whole-number volumed polyhedra, to sphere packing, to crystallography and other chemistry, to virology, and to fruit vending. We could (and do) go further by linking into architecture (e.g. the geodesic spheres and domes, and the octet truss, a commonly used space frame), into cartography (the Fuller Projection), and to a lot more pure geometry. Having the concentric hierarchy as classroom decor, serving to anchor this whirl-wind foray into multiple subjects, would give kids a home-basing sense of having easy access to useful conceptual tools, bare-bones templates, inviting further exploration and play. If this classroom is equipped with the internet, then these desires to go into the whole business more deeply might be satisfied in short order: a host of interconnected websites provide lots of free software tools, including a tensegrity modeling package (with real time stereo viewing) and a dome-defining application -- both able to interface with free ray tracing software (and VRML in the case of DOME). This may be getting beyond the range of elementary schoolers here, but certainly we're still in K-12. I'll be presenting a talk on the Concentric Hierarchy in a 21st Century Curriculum (tentative title "Beyond Flatland") to classroom teachers from Oregon State public schools this October, at a Math Summit (featuring math superstars Roger Penrose, Ralph Abraham and Keith Devlin). By then I hope to have more sophisticated hands-on visuals to share, perhaps from curriculum-minded vendors ready to more intensively capitalize on some of these emerging trends (e.g. I collaborated on the glow-in-the-dark Space Ball now available from DaMert, by writing much of the accompanying text -- a snap-together buckminsterfullerene model originally conceived by Roger Gilbertson of Mondotronics)... Anyway, I could go on and on, but I won't, having said it all before, many times via these several newsgroups. Check my website for more complete information and hyperlinks to my peers.

Col. L. Fletcher Prouty, fictionalized as 'Man X' in the Oliver Stone movie 'JFK' now has a lot of his auto- biographical historical materials in the public domain via the web.[1] He quotes 'Critical Path' in his preface, calling this an important book, and links Fuller's characterization of an invisible power structure with Churchill's "high cabal" and Eisenhower's "military-industrial complex" -- he also links his "Saigon Solution" to Fuller's six trillion dollar figure and in other respects matches his autobiographical telling to points in the Fuller Syllabus (e.g. the marginalizing of the conventional armed forces from command and control by the CIA in Vietnam, and in Cold War theaters generally -- a thread in 'Grunch of Giants' as well). Since Prouty was an advisor for Oliver Stone, we already know he sees JFK's assassination in the context of a coup d'etat executed at the highest levels. He also had a hand in writing NSAM #263 which I gather is mentioned in the Stone movie (I've saw the flick near the time of its release, but don't recall that specific detail) and for which mention Stone apparently got in trouble with his detractors -- e.g. according to Prouty's afterward Tom Wicker of the New York Times diatribed around that point, saying Kennedy's intentions re Vietnam post his quasi-certain re-election were unknown, which diatribing Prouty links to the fact that NSAM #263 was deceptively embedded in the Pentagon Papers so as to conceal the fact that its substance is actually the prefabbed trip report of the McNamara-Taylor Vietnam tour (included earlier) which Prouty himself helped to author, under direction from General Krulak who was himself intimately involved in President Kennedy's high level planning (he attended 23 of 26 meetings with JFK leading up to the writing of that report). Prouty's take is that the eurocentric Kennedy team was planning to disconnect from Asia and this promised to be an unprofitable turn of events for all concerned with matters military-industrial, post-WWII agreements centering around keeping WWIII -- started the very day WWII ended by Prouty's account -- more or less localized to those Buddhist countries, where the outward violence would encounter enough cooling and damping effects to keep the escalation manageable -- and therefore profitable. This fits with the 'Critical Path' narrative, wherein the profitability of WWIII was the front and central concern, the atomic weaponry buildup having mostly to do with vested interests envisioning a path leading to their eventual and profitable control of new civilian energy production facilities -- not an actual plan to opt for all-out atomic incineration (at least that's how the Russians were looking at it). The planned Kennedy disconnect from Asia, combined with the Cuban fiasco -- which had convinced the Kennedy brothers that the commander-in-chief needed more airtight control over the covert war against communism than the CIA seemed able to provide -- is what Prouty sets forth as setting the wheels in motion leading to the assassinations: the power centers could not tolerate this alternative scenario, so outside their under- standing of what the Cold War was all about (i.e. six trillion dollars for themselves and their beneficiaries). Personally, I'm neither a conspiracy theorist nor a JFK assass- ination buff by inclination. Before reading this Prouty analysis (which I go into here in some detail because of the several overt links to the Fuller Syllabus), I'd done some homework, including contacting Lisa Pease who maintains an in-depth website on the whole topic.[2] Here are some excerpts of an email I sent her (5-26-97): Lisa -- I don't have time to go into the Kennedy thing as deeply as you have, but I am interested in the topic and engage others more knowledgable than I, hoping for a moment of their time to relay to me whatever results of research they have time to offer. <> I personally do not know who killed him. I was very young at the time, watched the funeral on TV, saw the Oliver Stone movie, read some conspirarcy literature, kept my ears and eyes open, and tried to remain open to new information. I think you're doing much the same thing, trying to get to the bottom of a very deep and troubling mystery. So I'm contacting you as a co-investigator, someone who has put a lot more work into this question than I, to find out whether, in your knowledge of the literature, you've come across this hypothesis... Lisa was impatient with my obnoxious little hypothesis (that maybe some of those 'Best and Brightest' Kennedy Era players were actually bozos -- typical Urner 'techno-invective'[3]), and so we concluded our little correspondence: At 03:21 PM 6/23/97 -0700, you wrote: > > >Please don't email me any more. I have no time for this conversation. > >Lisa Pease > One last... Just to add a footnote for your files. Some of the info in my previous email was from: The Men Who Killed Kennedy The Truth Shall Make You Free... Color approx 50 mins, VHS documentary Cat No. AAE-40011 (c) 1995, A&E Television Networks You've probably seen it already. I got my copy from the local video store (due back tomorrow). OK, I'm outta here. Will not converse with you further as per your request. Kirby The hypothesis I was exploring with Lisa isn't significantly different from the one advanced in the above documentary, nor is it inconsistent with Prouty's that I can tell. Oswald was innocent of the assassination (the video includes interviews with his wife). The Cuba thing backfired. The power centers didn't trust Kennedys to mastermind the Cold War profitably. Call it a coup d'etat if you like -- I wouldn't cast President Johnson the way Stone did though, in his fictionalized, though probing account. As a well-schooled Fuller Schooler, I already have no trouble seeing a six trillion dollar black hole in the CIA-orchestrated war profiteering ala 'Grunch of Giants' and have plenty of room for cover-ups and prevarications in my model of history (my 'Magic Crystal' essay is in part a reflection of this, a way of coping). I remain hopeful that more puzzle pieces will fall into place in the minds of 'we the people' such that we can count on more accurately informed reflexing in future (vs. reflexing around misinformation). As Fuller writes in his magnum opus 'Synergetics': We also learn frequently of prefabricated and prevaricated events of a complex nature purportedly undertaken for purposes either of suppressing or rigging the news, which in turn perverts humanity's tactical information resources. All history becomes suspect. Probably our most polluted resource is the tactical information to which humanity spontaneously reflexes.[4] As you may suspect, in writing such a lengthy memo, I'm looking at the History Department (in addition to the Philosophy Depart- ment) as another place to work on getting the Fuller Syllabus phased in more relevantly within our global university reading programs. I'm thankful that Col. L. Fletcher Prouty, a highly competent and decorated veteran of the WWIII years (as Fuller calls it) has chosen to link to this syllabus in his own auto- biographical narrative, which I consider a valuable source of important information for scholars of that period. ====== Notes: [1] http://home.xl.ca/fiasco/prouty [2] http://www.webcom.com/~lpease/ [3] http://www.teleport.com/~pdx4d/technoinvective.html [4] http://www.servtech.com/public/rwgray/synergetics/intro/well.html ---------------------------------------------------- Kirby Urner "ALL realities are 'virtual'" -- KU Email: pdx4d@teleport.com Web: http://www.teleport.com/~pdx4d/ ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 3 Sep 1997 17:43:20 -0400 Reply-To: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: Steve Spence Organization: AT&T WorldNet Services Subject: http://www.xtronics.com/kits.htm I found this surfing, thought you might like it.

To me this sounds like a painter putting a grid on a canvas and looking at a scene through a meshwork of xy wires, transferring each cell exactly as seen through the meshwork to the corresponding canvas square. This was how the Renaissance technique of "perspective" developed -- the whole business of drawing an horizon, making a point, drawing faint pencil lines to that convergent focus (like rails of a train track, appearing to get closer -- and really getting closer in the xy picture)... So it turns out that on canvas you paint a lot of non-right angles, to make the scene realistic, to transfer that "depth dimension" onto your flat surface. Then you can go the other way, looking up from your canvas at the scene in front of you, and see it "as if" it were just a painting, looking at the angles as if your job was to paint them on a flat surface (the "flat retina" way of looking -- schooling your perceptions a certain way). As I said above, I find it ironic that the real experience of seeing three mutual perpendicular lines is now declaimed as an illusion, with the painter's way of looking at "perspective" taking precedence. Instead of the canvas being the interpretation of the scene, we turn tables and make the scene the interpretation, the canvas the phenomenological anchor. I accept "seeing according to an interpretation" as a valid characterization of what goes on. Our senses have been schooled -- like that cat's senses (the competent one's). When I look at a page of printed words in a language I understand, I'm simply unable to "see it as incomprehensible" -- to see "just squiggles" as I'd have seen the characterstrings before I could read at all, as I see (some) other languages and alphabets today. There's simply no going back, no "unschooling" the perceptions in many cases (sometimes you can still "flip back and forth" as Fuller claimed he could do by taking off his glasses). I'd say "schools of thought" define much more than "shared beliefs" but also "shared perceptions" -- like learning to see Strucktures in stereo (once you do, you've crossed a threshold permitting more degrees of freedom in the use of that technology). I see a school of thought that's taken 4-D to heart in a lot of perceptual ways; people work hard to visualize in ways that take them across thresholds, make hypercross dogmatics more than dogmatics (to them) but experiential. Religious orders move in this same direction. It was never just a matter of "believing" for many, but "knowing intimately" -- I'm fully aware of that. So now we have this Fuller School (in my accounts and a few others) and Kirby, a self-identifying Fuller Schooler, making these hyperlinks to art schools, movements, to the Renaissance, and to "seeing according to an interpretation" (Wittgenstein, PI, Part II) -- because this school, just like the others, is about schooling perceptions (e.g. "seeing as" instairs-outstairs, even if you still say upstairs-downstairs). Fuller himself was deeply and consciously aware of how reflex- conditioning is about "seeing according to an interpretation". The Fuller Projection isn't so much about "denying the reality of nations" as "seeing a lot of politicians pretending they still exist" -- the TV drama takes on a different feel, depending on whatever schooling you've (successfully) undertaken. This sounds a lot like brainwashing -- schools develop these hard cores wherein people subject themselves to serious mind- altering trainings e.g. the Marine Corps, which isn't just about conditioning your physical reflexes but your thinking as well. My freshman resident advisor down the all, a super bright guy and very self-disciplined and fit, entered the Corps partly to discover what their officer's training was all about. He didn't see it through 'til the end (risking court martial), feeling his "mind was going" -- ended up at Harvard later, studying poetry or something. I don't insert this story to cast judgement or aspersions on this or that training in this context, but to circle the red flag aspect: warning lights go off when the conditioning gets intense, as this is where "seriously warped" or "seriously skewed" fanatics may be forming, only to enter the world in ways that perhaps make life more difficult for the rest of us, because the conditioned reflexing may involve using violence, vicious propaganda, brow-beating those who disagree, persecution of others, giving all one's possessions to the guru, surrending one's freedom's to an alien-minded chain of command -- you know the scene (a gazillion plot lines intersect at this juncture). The flip side of the above, of course, is that the "ambient culture" is likewise a training, a perceptions school. Spending hours and hours every day watching video is mind-altering, for better or for worse (depends on the content in some ways, on posture and impact on social skills in others). The memes don't need explicit "schools" to work their magic. Indeed, I impose the "school" meme mostly to help sort out the picture a bit, to suggest that "schools of thought" are engaged in heavy duty brainwashing every which way we turn, oft times engaged in games of countering (balancing) one another, while competing for new recruits (e.g. interservice rivalry). Where am I going with this? I've already indicated that I'm looking forward to collaborating on movies that recast our present history in certain upsetting ways. The racist and Nazi-enflamed memes didn't evaporate with the end of WWII. Indeed WWIII got started the very day WWII ended (Sept 3, 1945 I think it was) and the USA, long on a slippery slope to becoming a mere puppet of LAWCAP, made cupidity the name of the game, with the Evil Empire its reluctant target. A lot of purely Malthusian "let 'em starve" policies got authored and executed from DC command centers, and a lot of good minds (and bodies) got utterly wasted in the process. RBF, a die-hard (r)evolutionary from the beginning, kept a thread going right through FINCAP and LAWCAP days, down to an endgame centered around his GRUNCH concept. Given all the heavy-duty LAWCAP brainwashing of the American people, his trajectory appeared increasingly eccentric to many onlookers -- going off the deep end in some dimensions towards the end. People talked about "Fuller's last stand against the multi-nationals" and so on. >From the brainwashed post-LAWCAP perspective, Fuller lost a noble battle, and now it's time to drop the naive idealism and integrate whatever can be salvaged of Synergetics (mostly the artifacts). Now that Fuller is gone, we can't afford his polemical, somewhat strident (some would say egomaniacal) side -- that aspect should be buried with his corpse. Rather, if we have any hope of seeing Fuller's contribution accepted by academia, we should adopt a more kiss-ass posture and admit that most of Synergetics is superstitious fluff, in the same category as Applied Magic, with much of the rest of it more cogently stored by others, less tainted by the dark side of Fuller's messianic complex gone sadly awry. In calling this a "brainwashed" perspective, I'm stepping outside a commonsense (taken for granted) viewpoint and defining myself in another, counter-meme camp. Obviously my school of thought isn't buying the above analysis. On the contrary, according to my accounts, the Grunch saw its inventory of core technologies was sufficient to turn our Mother Ship scenario into a highly profitable and livingry-centric one, with a lot of the Fuller stuff phasing in as a basis for aerospace-level play -- much better drama than most of this numbskuller political stuff still dominating some portions of our spectrum. USA politics was largely absorbed by Hollywood-style moviemaking and TV news programming, with the actors playing themselves (e.g. President Clinton in Foster-Sagan's 'Contact') -- with Reagan leading the charge in this direction -- thereby setting the stage for a new kind of "reality meets scripted" enterprising ala the Project Renaissance approach (described at my website and elsewhere). Casts-of-thousands multimedia extravaganzas, about doing more with less, about field testing new solutions, about rescuing humanity from disaster by sometimes dare-devil means, while meanwhile foiling those who would opt for yet more LAWCAP-style cupidity as a guiding light to future soap operatics involving mostly mayhem and destruction -- these are the kinds of plot lines the globally supranational Grunch is set up to sponsor, with its six trillion dollars. I know I sound like I'm writing from Mars or someplace -- completely out of touch with the realities of the situation. That's how deep my indoctrination has penetrated (those "Invisible Landscapes" pieces show I'd largely gone off the deep end by 1984). From my point of view, academia is in no position to decry Synergetics as "superstitious nonsense" given its own steep investments in same, including in the sacrosanct scientific realms, wherein all dogmas were supposedly purged of all alchemical paraphernalia ages ago (that's not what I'm seeing however). Many in the humanities are starting to look at Fuller with new eyes (e.g. ANY #17) and are only now realizing how deeply his network overlapped with in the military-industrial one, how seriously his investments in a more promising tomorrow were tracked, and sometimes backed, by risk-takers who maybe couldn't quite match his high flying, high profile style (or shied away from such by nature) but nevertheless knew the meaning of both hard work and long term planning. Ultimately, Fuller was taken seriously because his writing was reflective, a crystal ball in some dimensions, a microcosmic projection of macrocosmic haps and trends. To call it poetics sounds derogatory to some ears, but the link from poetics to cyphers is ancient. Nature tightly encodes information and serving as humans in Universe in our local problem solving capacity involves our cracking some of them (comprehension). Securities analysts aren't all oblivious numbskulls (e.g. the Swiss have a reputation for staying awake) and Fuller's paper- into-gold alchemy was never dismissed as irrelevant by those responsibly committed to keeping time/energy invested within circuits most likely to close and net a return -- in a sense- making sense (systems connecting around in all circumferential directions...). Anyway, that's my Fuller Schooler bottom line: the Grunch turned out to be a net positive. Lots of Doppler Effective echoing and resonating will need to occur before that becomes obvious on a larger scale, but the fact remains that our prospects are good, and getting better by the day.

Toward that end, I asked Kirby if he could direct me to a simple explanation for this age group. I also searched the Library of Congress on-line card catalog for the terms "geodesic", "synergetic", "synergetics", and "Buckmister Fuller". That search is attached to this message. It looks like Kenner's book "Geodesic Math and How To Use It" is the closest.

O. Box 2321" Organization: Teleport - Portland's Public Access (503) 220-1016 Subject: Is Nature Always Efficient? To examine Buckminster Fuller's claim that nature is always efficient, I will begin with an analogy... imagine that there are two imaginary people, Kirby and Trevor, with the dividing line between them called, Hawthorne Blvd. They have two ways of using materials, efficiently and inefficiently, and the division between efficiency and inefficiency is a sees-all-knows-all imaginary mutual friend named Bucky. Kirby showers in the morning with a fog gun in his Dymaxion toilet, then dresses from the clothes in his ovolving shelves. Trevor takes a bath in a claw-foot tub, then puts on clothes hanging in a big closet. Kirby leaves his fly-eye dome and gets in his Dymaxion car to drive the neighborhood kids to the zoo/school/theater. Trevor leaves his house and gets in his Glorp86, alone, to drive to the store a few blocks away. Kirby gets back in a short while and spends the rest of the morning telecommuting to work, with the idle CPU of his computer donated to a World Game going on in another country. Trevor gets back in the evening after fighting a traffic snarl, having spent much of his day at the noise factory, with his computer, heater, air conditioning, kitchen and bedroom going unused for a full third of the day (just as his cubical at the noise factory goes unused for nearly two-thirds of the day). Their mutual friend, Bucky, can measure how much water, gasoline, building materials, electricity, CPU, etc. each of them used compared to what they achieved. After surveying the results, he can state that Kirby is efficient, Trevor is inefficient. To understand 'nature always uses the most efficient means' in terms of synergetics, we have a few terms to consider understood (always, uses, most and means) and a few terms to define before we can proceed (nature and efficient). In synergetics, when you define A, you also define B and C: A equals "thing," B equals "other-than-thing," and C equals "division between thing and other-than-thing." In this regard, "nature" cannot be defined in synergetics because there is no "other-than-nature" in Fuller's Universe. What exists outside of humanity is nature, and what humanity does with it is natural. While nature could equal A and humanity C, there is no B. By comparing Kirby and Trevor, we can see one being more efficient than the other. But can Kirby, Trevor, Bucky or Kirby/Trevor/Bucky be compared to "nature?" Kirby invents a Dymaxion car for transportation, Trevor invents a Glorp86, and "nature" invents legs, fins, wings, etc. But all of these inventions are "natural," according to Fuller. It appears to me that the statement "nature is always efficient" is self defining - if it's efficient, it's natural, and if it's natural, it's efficient (just as the definition of "fittest" in "survival of the fittest" comes down to "that which survives"). "Efficiency" is a measurement that Fuller projected on to nature, perhaps to appear to have his investigations confirmed by higher powers. I think measuring the efficiency of his houses, car, shower and the rest against other houses, cars, showers and the rest are enough to show he was on to something without trying to prove (and failing to prove, in my view) that his designs are confirmed by nature. _Inspired_ by nature, perhaps, parallel to nature at times (and other times absolutely against nature), but not confirmed by nature. Is it important to not let Fuller get away with stating nature is always efficient? It's as least as important as his not letting us get away with saying sunrise or sunset, up or down. And it's perhaps as important as figuring out if synergetics is ultimately self-defining or if it is indeed relevant to science and education as a whole. I see Fuller's saying nature is always efficient as a small embellishment on a large column holding up a roof- it makes it pretty but the column stands without it. There's a time for pretty columns and a time for lean, mean, functional columns. Figuring out if nature really is always efficient will give us another tool to utilize pretty columns and functional columns as necessary. -- Trevor Blake box2321@teleport.com http://www.teleport.com/~box2321/ Post Office Box 2321, Portland Oregon 97208-2321, United States ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 14 Sep 1997 18:56:49 -0400 Reply-To: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: David Culberson Subject: Re: Funding needed for dome research In a message dated 97-09-14 04:07:46 EDT, you write: << File: WINMAIL.DAT (3296 bytes) DL Time (TCP/IP): < 1 minute >> After downloading your 3296 byte file, it would not open.

World Futures Society, Keynote Address, July , 1997. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------= - Thank you for the honor and privilege of speaking with you this afternoon. I have been fascinated by the global perspectives I have gained at my first World Future Society conference, and I appreciate all that I have learned from you. I come to speak on the two issues most vital to the future of my business, and perhaps of the world: the environment, and the emerging information economy. To me these topics seem intimately linked. Perhaps this is partly because I work for an electronics company, and I see our impacts on the environment. But my most important lessons about the link between business and environment and economy did not come from my company. My most important lessons about business and environment I learned in the forest. Let me explain. My first lesson in the forest happened 37 years ago, days after I graduated from the University of British Columbia. I was asleep when I got my lesson. This was unfortunate, because at the time I was driving a little British car, through the forests of the Canadian Rockies. It is not advisable to drive a car through the Rockies when one is asleep. You might drive off a cliff, which is exactly what happened to me. When I woke up in the hospital, I had plenty of time to reflect upon what I could learn from this incident. I remembered advice that my father had given me a few years before. He knew I was an adventurer, and a risk taker. He liked that, but he didn't want me to have too much of a good thing. So he took me aside and told me: "Do whatever you want. But don't die." I wanted to call my father to tell him that I had taken his good advice. But my jaw was clamped shut. So I couldn't. He found out anyway. The Japanese Consul General saw an article on my adventure in the local newspaper, and sent it to him. I have since passed along my father's advice to others. I think about it when people ask me what I think about SUSTAINABILITY. To me, this is what it means: "Do what you want. Follow your purpose. But don't die." =46or a young man, driving off a cliff in the Rocky Mountains teaches a valuable lesson. LESSON NUMBER ONE: STAY ALERT. WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING. It seems to me that the global business community is driving quickly toward a cliff, and we have our eyes closed. If we opened them, here is what we would see: Today, 600 million of the Earth's inhabitants -- in Europe, Japan, and the United States -- enjoy the material benefits of industrialism. Soon, 2.5 billion more -- China, India, the former Soviet republics -- will join us. And after them, the final 3 billion will seek the same. They demand and deserve to share in the benefits which we enjoy. To do that today, we need three planets. But we have only one. We must learn a new way of life. We must learn to provide affluence without effluence. We must develop prosperous human communities, with meaningful work and social equity between various groups. And we must do so by consuming LESS from the environment, not more. Population explosion. Habitat destruction. Resource consumption. Those are signs that may worry us. But as we approach the 21st century, I wonder if you all see, as I do, positive signs as well, signs of the dawn of an entirely new era, an era when all our businesses, yours and mine, will undergo dramatic change. That new era could move us beyond the industrial era, when we used machines to expand human muscle. It could carry us into a new era when we expand the human mind. To excel in this new era, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has developed a long-range business plan. We call it Vision 21. Vision 21 challenges us to excel in several emerging business domains, all based on the use, not of raw materials and fossil fuels, but KNOWLEDGE. For example: We make some of the world's most efficient solar cells. We make fuel cells that turn simple hydrogen to electricity, with no pollution. We make microchips for companies like Hewlett-Packard and Sun. We introduced the world's first CFC-free refrigerator, and won the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's award for our innovation. We design and engineer technologies of the Internet, that allow us to communicate without paper, to travel without going anywhere. We make the satellite systems that can continuously monitor the global environment, and feed that information back to nations, businesses, and people who can take action in response. Through Vision 21, we are shifting our investments away from the ecologically harmful practices of the old economy, toward the information-based technologies of the future. We are shifting from growth based on consumption to growth based on knowledge. The pace of change, however, is extremely fast. To succeed, we must be Agile. And we must be Creative. And that requires that we operate our businesses in bold new ways. In the old days, we operated our businesses like they were machines. But machines are not agile. They are not creative. They do not respond well to change. In the future, we need to operate our businesses according to a different model. That brings me to how I got my second lesson from the forest. Around Earth Day five years ago, I received a small stack of letters from a class of elementary school students, asking me to do what I could to stop harming the rainforest. The letters confused me at first. We are an electronics company. We have no timber holdings. We make no forest products. We use very little paper or wood. What's the connection? It turned out they were talking about another company that shares the Mitsubishi name. We've been separate companies for 50 years, since 1946. Not subsidiaries, not divisions. Separate. But no one knows this except us. Everyone thinks they own us, or we own them, or somebody else owns us all. So long ago, we stopped trying to convince people we are separate companies. It's much easier just to try to do something about the problem, instead of worrying about the name confusion. Solving problems and fulfilling needs, after all, is how businesses discover new markets, and generate new profits. Even better if the company isn't invested in whatever caused the problem -- so there's no trapped capital to lose. So on my next trip to Asia, I visited the Malaysian rainforest. I met with expert foresters. I visited timber cutting sites, as well as reforesting and research operations. I spoke with visionary environmentalists and executives. What I learned changed my life as a corporate executive. LESSON NUMBER TWO: I learned that saving the rainforests -- in fact, saving the environment -- is more than an environmental necessity. It is a business opportunity. In our case, it is an opportunity to further advance Vision 21, to pursue business opportunities that use creativity and technology to SUBSTITUTE for trees, for resources of any kind. After I visited the rainforest, we spoke with Amory Lovins, the famous expert on resource efficiency. We asked him to lead a global study team, to discover what opportunities BUSINESS had to save forests. He agreed, and established the Systems Group on Forests. In a few weeks, his Systems Group will release a series of reports that show how businesses like yours and mine can help to REVERSE the systemic causes of forest destruction. If you might want to take advantage of these opportunities, and invest in business pursuits that could help save the rainforests, please give me your card. But I learned something else in the rainforest, something more profound. I learned how we might operate our company not just to SAVE the rainforest, but to BE MORE LIKE the rainforest. Let me explain. As I said earlier, today's fast-changing business environment requires that we be alert, and responsive. Agile, and creative. To do so, we must structure our company so we are a LEARNING ORGANIZATION. Not top-down, but bottom-up. Not centralized, but decentralized. Not limited by rules, but motivated by objectives. Not structured like a machine -- which cannot learn -- but like a living system, which can. When I visited the rainforest, I realized that it was a model of the perfect learning organization. A place that excels by learning to adapt to what it DOESN'T have. A rainforest has almost no resources. The soil is thin. There are few nutrients. It consumes almost nothing. Wastes are food. Design is capital. My model for Mitsubishi Electric. An organization that is like a rainforest. Here is what a banker would say if asked to make a loan to a rainforest: "No way!" After all, it has no productive assets. Yet rainforests are incredibly productive. They are home to millions of types of plants and animals. More than two-thirds of all biodiversity in the world. Those plants and animals are so perfectly mixed that the system is more efficient, and more creative, than any business in the world. Imagine how creative, how productive, how ecologically benign we could be if we could run our companies like the rainforest? How can we begin? By operating less like a machine, and more like a living system. An Industrial Ecosystem. That is why, at Mitsubishi Electric, we have begun to adopt an environmental management system founded on principles of Industrial Ecology. =46or us, this means two things: First, we must have our eyes wide open, and see the environmental costs and benefits of our business. Second, based on what we see, we must take action. See costs -- and reduce them. See benefits -- and increase them. See needs -- and fill them. Not just inside the company, but throughout the community, locally and globally. We must take responsibility for the impacts of our products, from cradle to cradle. So instead of keeping environmental affairs separate from the core operations of our company, we are integrating it. =46or example: We recently combined our Environmental Management and Quality Management programs. From now on, it is not just quality of product. It is quality of the Earth. We also combined our Product Take-Back effort with our Design for Environment program. The United Nations awarded us the Habitat II award for this initiative. I have copies of an article on this program, for those of you who are interested. We combined ISO 14000 -- the new international environmental management standard -- with our Natural Step program. The Natural Step is a program developed in Sweden to help companies avoid products and processes that violate principles of sustainability in nature. We recently trained all our North American managers in The Natural Step, the Swedish-based program that helps companies operate within nature's limits. I am told I was the first CEO of a major company to take The Natural Step training. Now we are working with Paul Hawken and Karl Henrik Robert (row-BEAR) to help bring the training to Japan. =46inally, we are looking for ways to combine our efforts with those of others. Maybe some of you. To do that, we are sponsoring a series of roundtable discussions about Industrial Ecology and advanced resource productivity. We call the participants in these discussions The Future 500. Time will tell whether the name is correct. I invite you now to join in this process. If The Future 500 and Industrial Ecology are subjects that interest you, I hope you will join me at two events -- write the dates in your calendars now: September 18 to 21 -- the Ecotech conference, in Monterey, California. And April 24 to 26, 1998 -- Industrial Ecology III, in San Francisco. Through these discussions, we intend to find business opportunities that will help preserve the Earth. We intend to redirect our investments in ways that will be as productive as a rainforest. Which brings me to my third lesson from the rainforest. How can rainforests be so productive when they seem to have no capital assets? They are productive because their capital is hidden in their design. LESSON NUMBER 3: TRUE PROFIT COMES FROM DESIGN, NOT MATTER. In fact, the most important natural capital is its DESIGN. Its RELATIONSHIPS. Like those we see in the rainforest, or in our communities, or in our companies. In Japan we have two terms to describe this: omote and ura. Omote is the surface or front of an object, ura its back or invisible side. Omote and ura. External reality and underlying reality. When I visited the rainforest, I thought: As business people, we have been looking at the rainforest all wrong. What is valuable about the rainforest is not omote -- the TREES, which we can take out. What is valuable is ura -- the DESIGN, the RELATIONSHIPS, from which comes the real value of the forest. When we take trees from the forest, we can ruin its design. But when we take LESSONS from the forest, we further its purpose. We can develop the HUMAN ecosystem into as intricate and creative a system as we find in the rainforest. We can do more with less. Grow without shrinking. Ura, not omote. We are beginning to learn the value of this in business. Consider the microchip. A microchip's omote -- its physical content -- isn't very valuable. Silica is the cheapest and most abundant raw material on the planet -- sand. But a microchip -- it's shape, its design, its unseen artistry -- is extraordinarily valuable. Yet it comes from a source that seems almost unlimited -- the knowledge and inspiration we draw from the human mind and spirit. That is the most valuable resource, and the most abundant. This becomes the most important question for today's corporate executives to answer: How can we redesign, reinvent our corporations, so that they fully harness the human mind and spirit? How can we transform our top-down hierarchies, our conformist monocultures, to engage the magical creative qualities we see in the forest? That brings me to LESSON NUMBER 4: TO SUCCEED IN THE NEW ECONOMY, WE MUST OPERATE BY THE DESIGN PRINCIPLES OF THE RAINFOREST. The design principles of nature's most advanced learning organization. There are at least five of these design principles -- and no doubt many more that I have yet to learn. Listen to them carefully. See if you agree, and see if you can tell what connects them. They are: 1. Get feedback 2. Adapt. Change. 3. Differentiate. 4. Cooperate. 5. Be a Good Fit. Let me explain what I mean. 1. Get Feedback. I know from my drive over the cliff, there are two kinds of feedback: advance, and direct. Advance feedback is when we see the danger, and have time to change. Direct feedback is when we don't see the danger, drive off the cliff, and are hurt or die. This is the path chosen by the 99% of all species who have lived on the earth, and are now extinct. Needless to say, I like advance feedback better. Humans have the best individual feedback systems anywhere in nature -- our eyes, our ears, our minds. But our collective feedback systems -- at the community and company level -- are nowhere near as developed. This is now my Number One Personal Priority: To create at Mitsubishi Electric the best system of corporate feedback in the world. So that we know the costs and the benefits of every product and service we create, and the social and environmental needs we can help fulfill, better than any other electronics company. We will do it by listening -- like I am here, today and yesterday. But even more, we will do it by measuring, in ways I will describe in a moment. This -- getting feedback, by listening and measuring -- is step number one to being the most effective electronics company in the world, I believe. But it is still just a start. Design principle number 2 is: 2. Adapt. Change. It is not enough just to look ahead and see the cliff. We must turn. We must change. =46or that, at Mitsubishi Electric America we will create incentives. When people are creative and innovative -- when they find ways to reduce costs and enhance benefits -- they will be rewarded. We all know that what gets measured gets done. So we will no longer just measure quarterly profits, return on investment, and GNP. Beginning in 1998, we will also measure three new things: pollution intensity, resource productivity, and quality of life. We will create systems that reward people whenever they think and act to reduce costs or increase benefits -- inside or outside our company. We have already begun -- our decentralized management and team-based structure encourages people to be creative about reducing costs internally. Now we want to do the same to reduce costs for the environment, for society as a whole. We want to eliminate the last vestiges of our machine-age structure, and apply the principles of Industrial Ecology to become as creative and innovative as a living system. We will also share our methods with every other company, through the Future 500. 3. Differentiate -- Be Yourself, Be Unique. In the rainforest, conformity leads to extinction. If two organisms have the same niche, only one survives. The other either adapts, or dies. In today's economy, the same happens. If two businesses have the same niche -- make exactly the same product -- only one survives. The other adapts, or dies. So what are most companies today doing? They are trying to be the one that survives. Cutting costs. Downsizing radically. Desperately seeking the lowest cost. We think: it is much smarter to differentiate. Create unique products, different from any others. Fill unique niches. Don't kill our competitors, or be killed by them. Sidestep them instead. Only then -- after we differentiate -- is it time to reduce costs, and grow more efficient. We have learned this the hard way. We sell millions of TVS, stereos, appliances. We cannot compete by being the lowest-cost operator. Instead, we must offer products that are different, distinctive. We must choose and fill our unique niche. This is new for many in Japan. The philosophy used to be: Don't differentiate. Don't be different. If the nail sticks out, it will be hammered down. Now, I say our philosophy must be: Stick out, or you will rust away. By being different, we are also better able to fulfill design principle number 4: 4. Cooperate. Today, many people think "competitiveness" is the key to business success. Their thinking is out-of-date. In the old economy, when we were all the same, we competed. We had no choice -- we all made the same products. We filled the same niche. We could not coexist peacefully in the same community. In the end, only one of us could survive. Today, as we grow different, we learn that none of us is whole. We need each other to fill in our gaps. =46or example, at my company, we no longer look to grow bigger simply by acquiring more and more companies as subsidiaries. Instead, we are engaging in cooperative joint ventures with many others. Each company retains its independence, its specialty and core competence. Together we benefit from our diversity. Which brings me to design principle #5: 5. Be a Good Fit. We used to say, only the fittest survives. There is only one winner. But in the rainforest, there are many winners. The same can be true in our economy. In the old, uniform, monoculture economy, only one form wins, only the most fit survives. At least until a new invader wipes him out. In this new, diverse, rainforest economy, it is not a question of who is MOST fit. It is a question of where we BEST fit. If we fit -- if we solve a social problem, fulfill a social need -- we will survive and excel. If we only create problems, we will not. I am often asked whether the needs of the corporation and the needs of the environment are in conflict. I do not believe they are. In the long run, they cannot be. Conventional wisdom is that the highest mission of a corporation is to maximize profits. Maximize return to shareholders. That is a myth. It has never been true. Profit is just money. And money is just a medium of exchange. You always trade it for something else. So profits are NOT an end. They are a means to an end. My philosophy is this: We don't run our business to earn profits. We earn profits to run our business. Our business has meaning and purpose -- a reason to be here. People talk today about businesses needing to be socially responsible, as if this is something new we need to do, on top of everything ELSE we do. But social responsibility is not something that one should do AS AN EXTRA BENEFIT of the business. The whole essence of the business should be social responsibility. It must live for a purpose. Otherwise, why should it live at all? That suggests the final lesson I learned -- so far -- from the rainforest: THE MISSION OF BUSINESS -- THE MISSION OF CIVILIZATION -- IS TO DEVELOP THE HUMAN ECOSYSTEM, SUSTAINABLY. To take our place in the global ecosystem. In all our diversity and complexity. What I learned from the rainforest is easy to understand. We can use less, and have more. Consume less, and be more. It is the ONLY way. For the interests of business, and the interests of environment, are not incompatible. They are the Japanese omote and ura, the Chinese yin and yang, product and process, economy and ecology, mind and spirit -- two halves. Only together can we make the world whole. ========================================================================= Date: Fri, 19 Sep 1997 01:32:31 -0700 Reply-To: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: The Butterfly Subject: Announcing new floating-cities discussion list.

Pat ------- Start of forwarded message ------- Date: Thu, 18 Sep 1997 13:13:22 -0700 From: The Butterfly Subject: Announcing new floating-cities discussion list. I've had a long-time interest in the design and building of floating cities on the ocean. There have been various lists over the years, and various projects that have come, gone, or are still in progress. (Autopia, New-Utopia, The Millenium Project, The Atlantis Project, discussions on the Extropian and Technomads lists, etc...) This seems to be a quite-prevalent idea, and one that will gather more and more attention as our global population continues to grow on the land-masses. To this end, I've created a new list, to hopefully gather together some of those kindred souls who've been similarly interested in such a project, so we can hammer out ideas, mull over details, and (with any luck, and a good bit of determination) begin to actually build something in the next few years. If you're interested, please check out: http://www.sculptors.com/lists.html#floating-cities If you're not, then I apologize for the intrusion. -- Pat ___________________Think For Yourself____________________ Patrick G.

'Suncut' was of course drawn from the film industry, sounds very L.A. (Los Angeles), but your disassembly into 'cutting slowly' does not compute (a) because a 'cut' is momentary in film, a single 'snip' when the sun 'drops beneath the horizon' (what's that rolling sound?) and (b) because 'cutting' is not poetic enough in this form, as in 'cutting up' (misbehaving in class) and other unfortunate idioms.

HOW TO ATTRACT GIRLS INSTANTLY....Secrets to instant sex appeal PURE INSTINCT PHEROMONE ATTRACTANT FOR MEN WILL GIVE YOU AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE WITH WOMEN GUARANTEED (or your money back)! Everyone knows that some men(a tiny minority) are able to instantly attract women. It used to be known as "animal magnetism". Scientists now say this natural attraction is due to pheromones - body smells that are not consciously detected, but that effect the behavior of others towards the person giving off these chemical signals. It's natures way of attracting the opposite sex. Scientists have now isolated and synthesized two natural attractants- androstenol and androstenone pheromone. Carefully controlled experiments show they work and have been widely reported on television and in both the American and British l press. Androstenone pheromone has been successfully tested on BBC TV's "TOMORROWS WORLD" and by Desmond Morris (Author of "The Naked Ape" and "Manwatching" and renowned human behaviorist) on BBC TV's "Friday Night... Saturday Morning." It also was tested on Discovery and was shown to cause positive sexaul attraction for women New improved formula Pure Instinct from ICT Research Technology contains both ANDROSTENOL and ANDROSTENONE pheromone and produces an undetectable scent that subconsciously attracts women to the wearer. Pure Instinct is the world's number one selling and the most concentrated (5 - 7 x normal active strength) pheromone spray for men - don't be misled by cheaper (or more expensive) imitations. We have spent three years researching if pheromones work and researching the quality of pheromones products After three years of sound studing and testing we feel the miracle of Pheromones is real We have also found most pheromone products ( they will remain nameless) are either well over priced for what you get or do not have enough pheromone (Androstenone)in them to be effective. It is not Androstenone that is not effective to attract women, There is just never enough in the products sold to do the job Each one of the bottles of Pure Instinct Contains 1 MG of androstenone. Many other porducts we have tested have less then 1/10th of that. This is why with these other products you have to use half the bottle at one time just to get a result. The results are there. If there is androstenone in the product the results WILL BE THERE but if there is not enough androstenone you can go through one bottle in 2 days. Pure Instinct is so strong just a few applications will get you the results half a bottle of the other pheromonee products will get you.. This is why our pheromone product is more expensive then some but cheaper then most. 1 mg of Androstenone buy it self cost around $11.00 on the open chemical market plus there is packaging etc. So we feel $29.95 is a hell of a price for a product YOU KNOW will work because it has the right amount of Pheromone to do the job without having to use up the whole bottle in one The Point: A good product with enough Androstenone Pheromone worn by a man will ATTRACT A WOMEN INSTANTLY WHAT THE PRESS SAY: * Lowell Ponte, a former consultant on exotic weapons and a Readers Digest science writer, said in an interview that "use of the recently discovered chemical Androstenone should be banned. Congress should pass a law making it a crime to use this chemical to influence voters by making politicians appear more lovable. - The San Francisco Chronicle - * "The stuff attracts women like you wouldn't believe" - Colorado Telegraph * "And now this pheromone has been marketed, we've tested it - and good grief it works" - Koave * "pheromones influence human behavior in a subtle way. Women are attracted to the smell" - The Daily Telegraph * "Pure Instinct is likely to produce a state of sexual excitement or arousal" - Men Only (Vol. #44 No. 4) Much of our sales of Pure Instinct are reorders from existing users, reports confirm success. "Pure Instinct really does seem to work! The most dramatic instances have occurred when wearing it at discos. Girls just drift towards me and start flirting." -DT Cardiff "I Knew Pure Instinct wasn't a gimmick when one of the girls at work, quite out of character, started to seduce me when we were alone in the office." -SD Nottingham Pure Instinct comes in a discreet 30ml pocket container with full instructions, Ideal for any man who wants to join that lucky few who have more than their fair share of sex appeal. 30 DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEE If you are not 100% delighted with the results from using Pure Instinct simply return remainder within 30 days for a full refund- No questions asked!

The question is i like to mention that invistigating synergetics must be taking seriously, but in order to do that we must discusse how we go about it. you cant go forward if there is no course charted, in Universities they progress because they have a curiculum the students must follow. what i see in synergetics discussion is scatered reading here and there nothing substantial or long endured. tagdi ------------- p.s hi kirby, it was probably not easy to read my last maessage, i had to harrry in a noisey room. but realy i need a dictionay with me at all times. i need refrence to good general human history books, from the beginning to the 20 century, some history books are not fascinating because they were wrote in slow motion.i am looking for somthing that reads well and informative in relation to the big picture. also refrence to titles ro history of engneering in 19 century that take in consedration all the cadgets that have been invented and their use and there realtion to society and economy in general. here is an extra thought: the scales of maping 1 : 10,000, 50,000 100,000 that is cm to cm. for the first one if an island was 10 cm in the map then it would be 1 km in reality, is this correct -- ========================================================================= Date: Tue, 30 Sep 1997 17:00:31 GMT Reply-To: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works Sender: List for the discussion of Buckminster Fuller's works From: SQuick2653 Organization: AOL http://www.aol.com Subject: Crystallography Scholarships - International Centre for Diffraction Data INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR DIFFRACTION DATA CRYSTALLOGRAPHY SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS The science of crystallography has played a key role in the development of X-ray diffraction, electron diffraction and neutron diffraction for the elucidation of the atomic structure of matter. Crystallography is an interdisciplinary branch of science taught in departments of physics, chemistry, geology, molecular biology, metallurgy and materials science. To encourage promising graduate students to pursue crystallographically-oriented research, the International Centre for Diffraction Data (ICDD) has established a Crystallography Scholarship Fund. While the Ewald Prize is awarded every three years to an internationally recognized crystallographer, little effort has been made by science departments to cultivate aspiring crystallographers. Convinced of the beneficial, scientific impact of the proposed scholarships for crystallographically-oriented research, the ICDD has solicited funds from private and industrial sectors to support this program. The ICDD has awarded two scholarships in 1992, two in 1993, three in 1994, three in 1995, four in 1996, and four in 1997. Applications for the 1998 awards must be received by ICDD no later than 31 October 1997. Qualifications for the applicants: The applicant should be a graduate student seeking a degree with major interest in crystallography e.g. crystal structure analysis, crystal morphology, modulated structures, correlation of atomic structure with physical properties, systematic classification of crystal structures, phase identification and materials characterization. There are no restrictions on country, race, age or sex. The term of the scholarship is one year. Application for one renewal may be made by the recipient at the end of the first year. Because a limited number of scholarships are awarded, renewal applications will be considered on a competitive basis in conjunction with all applications that have been submitted up to the closing date. Submit: 1.Curriculum Vitae, listing degree(s) held and degree(s) sought. 2.A one-page proposal by the graduate student describing the type of crystallographic research to be partially supported by the scholarship. 3.A supportive letter from the sponsoring professor of an accredited university or an institute of technology on institution letterhead. Restrictions on the scholarship fund: 1.The scholarship stipend of $2,000 is to be used by the graduate student to help defray tuition, laboratory fees and cost of books and/or journals on crystallography. A portion of the stipend may be applied to registration fees to accredited scientific meetings related to crystallography. 2.No more than one scholarship will be awarded to applicants at any one accredited institution per year. 3.The funds of the scholarship are not to be used for travel. The awarding of the scholarships shall be administered by a committee consisting of the ICDD Chairman, the Chairman of the ICDD Technical Committee, the Chairman of the ICDD Education Subcommittee and one or two individuals without a conflict of interest. One or more accredited professors (with no conflicts of interest) may be invited to assist in the selection of successful candidates. Applications must be received by 31 October 1997.

Updated every WEEKDAY. [LINK] Small Is Beautiful? [conspiracy theory redux: so do you think tupac is really still alive?] According to legend, the scientists present at the Trinity site 50-odd years ago weren't really sure what would happen. Would the bomb ignite the entire atmosphere? Or maybe even fission out of control and consume the globe? The latest spin in 20th-century technology's game of global Russian roulette is nanotechnology, which physicist Amory Lovins has classified along with nuclear science and genetic engineering as "fit only for the incorruptible." The name implies something about scale - that nanotech can be measured in nanometers - but this alone would not sufficiently differentiate it from other sciences. Nanotech is a weird hybrid of chemistry and mechanics: putting atoms where you want them, getting them to stay there, and somehow controlling them. Parts of this can already be achieved using gadgets like an atomic force microscope, or certain types of chemical synthesis. But since nanotech promises an unprecedented degree of control over matter, much of its appeal lies far less in what can be achieved than in what can be extrapolated. [perhaps he will return in an austin powersesque mission from the past? ] Until recently, the chief evangelist (and extrapolator) of nanotech has been K. Eric Drexler, founder of the Institute for Molecular Manufacturing and the Foresight Institute, a group whose dubious relevance to everyday life can be judged by its naively ridiculous ambition : "to guide emerging technologies to improve the human condition." Drexler wrote two popular books - Engines of Creation and Unbounding the Future - that discuss both the great benefits and drastic horrors that might accrue from nanotech. The upside, so he declared, includes cures for genetic diseases and an end to poverty (indeed, some say the emergence of the much vaunted post-scarcity society is due to the ability to manufacture whatever out of waste). The downside is, um, let's see, oh yes, the destruction of the planet by runaway nanomachines given enough intelligence to reproduce. These books provoked a fair bit of controversy and some ridicule from the scientific community for what seemed like both blind optimism and blind alarmism. Then Drexler published Nanosystems, a recap of his PhD dissertation from MIT and a detailed technical treatise on nanotech. A few grudgingly admitted that he might know what he was talking about, but not everyone. Drexler's vision of nanotech shows a peculiar adherence to mechanical engineering. It consists of actual tiny machines, nanoscopic robots if you will, built of "diamondoid" materials. His Holy Grail is the universal assembler, a nanomachine that will be programmed to build other nanomachines or copies of itself. This approach has remained unconvincing to experimental scientists familiar with the extreme complexity of things that resemble nanotech, like biological cells. In any case, Nanosystems serves as something like, say, a bible for nanotech hopefuls, occasionally in the worst sense of the word. [and if tupac is still alive somewhere, what about biggie small?] Gary Stix, a writer for Scientific American, pissed off the Drexlerians last year when, in his review of the biennial Foresight meeting, he compared their leader to Mr. Peabody, and the culture as a whole to a "cargo cult." The gatherings do have a strange but thrilling sociological aspect - sort of Mondo 2000 meets military-industrial complex - that mainstream scientific conventions unfortunately lack. But even as the rebuttals were appearing, a change in the players was occurring that would gain respectability for the field at the slightly sad cost of some of its fascination. In 1996 Richard Smalley won the Nobel Prize for synthesizing a soccer ball-shaped molecule of carbon atoms, whimsically named buckminsterfullerene because of its resemblance to Fuller's geodesic dome. These molecules and derivatives, generically called fullerenes (or, more jocularly, "buckyballs"), are the new nanotech. They don't really do much, but in science's new social contract, that doesn't mean much. Fullerenes are fundable, fundable, and sexy enough to plant the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology at Rice University, which Smalley (insert joke here) heads. [perhaps planning an international revolution of sorts...] Real nanotech is probably as far off as real artificial intelligence, but it could consist of anything from carbon nanotubes, to arbitrarily complex but uncontrollable chemical constructions, to atomic-scale corporate logos. (Talk about core branding.) Who knows, maybe our time is one of those "growing points" where research on such esoterica as self-assembling systems, supramolecular chemistry, and adaptive agents magically converges. But the question of whether nanotech will destroy us or save us is still largely rhetorical, since anyone can point to things far more dubious, deliberate, and real - like selling 11 billion dollars' worth of weapons, or the TV show South Park. A somewhat more interesting question is whether, suspecting the consequences, we should consider not applying the electrodes to the monster's neck this time, just in case. History hints that some scientist or engineer possessed of sufficient funding and/or ego will hook the sucker up like a run-down Diehard anyway. In May, Foresight announced the founding of the world's first "molecular nanotechnology development company," Zyvex, and this month, Zyvex's technological digging "struck gold." Having taken the initial steps towards building a universal assembler ("This is claimed by some to be 'impossible in this universe.' Zyvex will eventually make one, just to show how it's done!"), should we be worried about what Zyvex will do next? The company's rallying cry - "Nature does it, why can't we?" - offers little comfort. [and then there's the question of Di ... i'd bet she is the secret weapon in their posse] For the scientist at the Trinity site, in the fireball's light of "a thousand suns," their worst apprehensions gave way to simple, mundane horror. Oppenheimer would relate the event to a line from the Bhagavad-Gita: "I am become Death, destroyer of worlds." That time, Vishnu was bluffing. courtesy of Dilettante
