RBF Definitions

"The difference between gravitation and radiation is analogous

to the difference between parallel wiring and series wiring in

electricity. Series wiring is like the lights on a christmas

tree in which circuitry if one light goes out the whole system

goes out. In parallel wiring when one light goes out the

other lights remain operative. This is a demonstration of

integration and disintegration. Series wiring is a disintegra-

time system, an open system. Parallel wiring is an integra-

tive system, a closed system. It is not the 'parallelism' that

matters but the fact that the circuit is closed. The word

parallel came into use only because of the diagram first used

to demonstrate the principle as well as the fact that the

closed circuit wire is conveniently doubled back upon itself

and bound into one 'lead' for house-wiring purposes. The fact

that the vectors are parallel is only a convenience of the

construction industry. The same length vectors--ergo the same

energy magnitude involvement--used correctly, can provide

either function. Here we have the convergent integrations

and divergent disintegration language of synergetics in the

language of electricity."
