Acceleration: Angular & Linear Card C00102

RBF DEFINITIONS
Acceleration: Angular & Linear: (2)
"terms of first and second power. You would not have a linear
increment until the cycle was complete. We use some kind of
cycle. It may be a cycle of atomic oscillation. Or it could
be of a clock. But it is some kind of cycle, and until the
cycle is complete you don't have an increment.
"Therefore we discover that in angular acceleration-- I started
at six o'clock to play the game and I have only gone this far
and I haven't made a cycle, and yet this is measurable.
"We find that an angle is subcyclic. We said there was no
size until the cycle had been completed. We find an angle is
a priori of no size: it has nothing to do with the phenomena
size. The length of the edges are the linears and have nothing
to do with what this angle is. Angle has nothing to do with
size.
"It was one of these qualities of the terahedron with the
60-degreeness, symmetry, and so forth, which was completely
independent of size. I found this a very important discovery.
We see the tetrahedron turning inside-out, so now you know what
that one was about."
