RBF DEFINITIONS
Additive Twoness:

"This number plus two is a very interesting kind of a number.
The fact that it is second power and it is times ten: Does this
fact bother you? Not particularly, because we will find out
later what the time a ten is. Ten is a number made up of two
primes, the prime numbers five and two. We will discover what
its significance is. It has something to do with the fact that
the vector equilibrium has twelve degrees of freedom, and we
find that two of those degrees of freedom are always subject to
being polarized... If you remember looking at the center core
of the vector equilibrium system, you found six sets of lines
leading in, making 12 radii going through the ceneter.
found twelve fundamental degrees of freedom, so one of the
degrees of freedom could be used for spin, and if you do, then
you automatically have to assign two of the balls out of the 12
for the problem of spin. We find that there are always in any
layer two left over in that layer to act as bearings for the
spin. They could be isolated from anything else this does
energetically. You have to have something that takes care of
the axis; and they take care of the neutral axis."
