540.00 Frame of Reference
540.01 The system generates itself whenever there is an event. The system actually regenerates itself: it is an eternal rebirth system.
540.02 The octet truss is not a priori. The octet truss is simply the most economical way of behaving relative to unity and to self. The octet truss is the evolutionary patterning, intervectoring, and intertrajectorying of the ever- recurrent 12 alternative options of action, all 12 of which are equally the most economical ways of self-and-othemess interbehavingall of which interbehavings we speak of as Universe.
540.03 Starting with whole Universe as consisting always of observer plus the observed, we can subdivide the unity of Universe. In synergetics extemdash as in quantum mechanicswe have multiplication only by division.
540.04 I do not like the word frame. What we are talking about is the multi-optioned omni-orderly scheme of behavioral reference; simply the most economic pattern of evolvement. Pattern of evolvement has many, many equieconomical intertransformability options. There are many transformation patterns, but tetrahedron is the absolute minimum limit case of structural system interself-stabilizing. A tetrahedron is an omnitriangulated, four-entity, six-vector interrelationship with system-defining insideness and outsideness independent of size; it is not a rigid frame and can be any size. “Rigid” means “sized”arbitrarily sized. “Rigid” is always special-case. Synergetics is sizeless generalization.
540.05 Synergetics is not a frame at all, but a pattern of most omnieconomic (ergo, spontaneous) interaccommodation of all observed self-and-otherness interexperiencing (ergo, geodesicgeodesic being the most economical interrelationships of a plurality of events).
540.06 Prime otherness demands identification of the other’sinitially nebulousentity integrity, which entity and subentities’ integrities first attain cognizable self-interpatterning stabilization, ergo, discrete considerability, only at the tetrahedron stage of generalizable entity interrelationships. Resolvability and constituent enumerability, and systematic interrelationship cognition of entity regeneration presence, can be discovered only operationally. (See Secs. 411.00, 411.10, 411.20, and 411.30. ) After the four-ball structural interpatterning stability occurs, and a fifth ball comes along, and, pulled by mass attraction, it rolls into a three-ball nest, and there are now two tetrahedra bonded face-to-face.
540.07 Because of discontinuity, the otherness points and subpoints may be anywhere. We start always with any pointevent points being as yet noncomprehended; ergo, initially only as an apprehended otherness entity. Synergetics, as a strategy of converting apprehension to discrete comprehension, always proceeds vectorially.
540.08 The only difference between experience and nonexperience is time. The time factor is always radial, outwardly, inwardly, and chordally around; always accounted only in most economical to self-experience, energytime relationship (i.e., geodesic) units. The vector is time-energy incrementation, embracing both velocity and relative mass, as well as the observer’s angulation of observation strictly determined in relation to the observer’s head-to-toe axis and time, relative, for instance, to heartbeat and diurnal cyclic experience frequencies.
540.09 A vectorial evolvement in no way conforms to a rigid rectilinear frame of the
