826.00 Unity of Peripheral and Radial Modularity
826.01 Had the Greeks originally employed a universal model of x-dimensional reality as their first tool upon and within which they could further inscribe and measure with their divider, scriber, and straightedge, they would have been able to arrive at unity of circumferential as well as radial modularity. This would have been very convenient to modern physics because all the accelerations of all the constantly transforming physical events of Universe are distinguished by two fundamentally different forms of acceleration, angular and linear.
826.02 Hammer Throw: When a man accelerates a weight on the end of a cord by swinging it around his head, the weight is restrained by the cord and it accumulates the energy of his exertions in the velocity it maintains in a circular pattern. This is angular acceleration, and its velocity rates and angular momentum are calculated in central-angle increments of the circular movement accomplished within given units of time. When the weight’s cord is released by its human accelerator, it then goes into linear acceleration and its accomplished distance is measured in time increments following its release and its known release velocity, which calculations are modified by any secondary restraints.

Fig. 826.02A Hammer Throw: The weight on the cord accumulates energy as the man swings it around his head in a circular pattern that illustrates angular acceleration. When the weight is released it goes into linear acceleration as modified by any secondary restraints.
826.03 The angular accelerations relate then to the myriad of circular or elliptical orbitings of components of systems around their respective centers or focii, and are intimate to original acceleration-generating factors such as the “hammer thrower” himself and his muscle as the metabolic powering by the beef he ate the day before, which gained its energy from vegetation it had eaten, which gained its energy from the Sun’s radiation by photosynthesis–all of whose attendant relative efficiencies of energy relaying were consequent upon the relative design efficacies and energy divergence to complementary environment conditions of the total synergetically effective system with the eventually total regenerative Universe itself.[^28]
826.04 Science as a Tool: The linear measurements represent the radial going-away accelerations or resultants of earlier or more remote events as well as of secondary restraints. The rigid rectilinear angularity of the 90degree-central-angle
826.05 The Greeks’ planar inception of geometry and its diversion first into theoretical mathematical calculations and ultimate abandonment of models has occasioned the void of ignorance now existing between the sciences and the humanities imposed by the lack of logical and unitarily moduled conceptual systems. This, in turn, has occasioned complete social blindness to either the facts or the potential benefits of science to humanity. Thus science has now come to represent an invisible monster to vast numbers of society, wherefore society threatens to jettison science and its “obnoxious” technology, not realizing that this would lead swiftly to genocide. Central to this crisis of terrestrially situate humans is the necessity for discovering and employing a comprehensively comprehendible universal coordinate system that will make it swiftly lucid to world society that science and technology are only manipulative tools like inanimate and cut-offable hands which may be turned to structuring or destructuring. How they are to be employed is not a function of the tools but of human choice. The crisis is one of the loving and longing impulse to understand and be understood, which results as informed comprehension. It is the will to structure versus ignorant yielding to fear-impulsed reflexive conditioning that results from being born utterly helpless. Intellectual information-accumulating processing and anticipatory faculties are necessary, and are only slowly discovered as exclusively able to overcome the ignorantly feared frustrating experiences of the past. Science must be seen as a tool of fundamental advantage for all, which Universe requires that man understand and use exclusively for the positive advantage of all of humanity, or humanity itself will be discarded by Universe as a viable evolutionary agent.
826.06 It is to this dilemma that we address ourselves; not being interested in palliatives, we backtrack two and a half millennia to the turning of the road where we entered in the hope of regaining the highway of lucid rationality. Using the same Greek tools, but not starting off with a plane or the subsequently substituted blackboard of the pedagogues working indoors and deprived of direct access to the scratchable Earth surface used by the Near Eastern ancients[^29], we will now institute scientific exploration in the measurement of physical reality.
