935.20 Precessional Transformation in Quantum Model

935.21 One quantum of energy always consists of six energy vectors, each being a combined push-pull, positive-negative force. (See Secs. 600.02 through 612.01 and Fig. 620.06.) Twelve unique forces: six plus and six minus. Six vectors break into two sets of three each. Classical engineers assumed that each action had its equal and opposite reaction at 180 degrees; but since the discovery of the speed of light and the understanding of nonsimultaneity, we find that every action has not only a reaction but also a resultant. Neither the reaction nor the resultant are angularly “opposite” in 180-degree azimuth from the direction of action. The “equal and opposite” of classical engineering meant that both action and reaction occurred in opposite directions in the same straight line in the same geometrical plane. But since the recognition of nonsimultaneity and the speed of light, it has been seen that action, reaction, and resultant vectors react omnidirectionally and precessionally at angles other than 180 degrees. (See Fig. 511.20.)

935.22 As we enter the last quarter of the 20th century, it is recognized in quantum mechanics and astrophysics that there could never have existed the traditionally assumed, a priori universal chaos, a chaos from which it was also assumed that Universe had escaped only by the workings of chance and the long-odds-against mathematical probability of a sequence of myriad-illions of coincidences, which altogether produced a universal complex of orderly evolutionary events. This nonsense was forsaken by the astrophysicists only a score of years ago, and only because science has learned in the last few decades that both the proton and the neutron always and only coexist in a most orderly interrelationship. They do not have the same mass, and yet the one can be transformed into the other by employing both of their respective two energy side effects; i.e., those of both the proton and the neutron. Both the proton and the neutron have their respective and unique two-angle-forming patterns of three interlinked lines, each representing their action, reaction, and resultant vectors.

935.221 Coming-Apart Phase: Coming-Apart Limit: The astrophysicists say that no matter how far things come apart, fundamentally they never come farther apart than proton and neutron, which always and only coexist.

935.23 The names of the players, the positions they play, and the iden­tifying letters they wear on the three-vector teams of proton and neutron, respectively, are identified as follows. The proton’s three-vector team consists of:

1. the action vector, played by its captain, the proton, wearing the let­ters BD;

2. the reaction vector, played by the electron, wearing the letters AD; and

3. the resultant vector, played by the antineutrino, wearing the letters BC.

The neutron’s three-vector team consists of:

1. the action vector, played by its captain, the neutron, wearing the let­ters AC;

2. the reaction vector, played by the positron, wearing the letters CD; and

3. the resultant vector, played by the neutrino, wearing the letters AB.

Either one of these two teams of three-vector events is identified in quantum mechanics as being a half-quantum (or one-half spin or one-half Planck’s constant). When two half-quanta associate, they produce one unit of quantum. (See Sec. 240.65.) These two sets of three vectors each combine to produce the six vector edges of the tetrahedron, which is the minimum structural system of Universe: one quantum of energy thus becomes structurally and systematically conceptual. (See Fig. 935.23.) One quantum of energy equals one tetrahedron. Humanist writers and broadcasters take notice that science has regained conceptuality. Science’s intertransformabilities and intercomplementarities are modelably demonstrable. The century-long chasm that has separated science and the humanities has vanished.

935.24 The tetrahedral model of the quantum as the minimum structural system of Universe is a prime component in producing the conceptual bridge to span the vast chasm identified by C. P. Snow as having for so long existed between the one percent of the world people who are scientists and the 99 percent of humanity comprehendingly communicated with by the writers in literature and the humanities. This chasm has been inadvertently sustained by the use of an exclusively mathematical language of abstract equations on the part of scientists, thus utterly frustrating the comprehension of the scientists’ work by the 99 percent of humanity that does not communicate mathematically. This book, Synergetics, contains the conceptualizing adequate to the chasmbridging task, and it does so in vectorially structured geometry and in exclusively low-order prime numbers in rational whole-number accounting.

935.25 As an instance of chasm-spanning between science and the humanities by conceptually transformative energy-quanta accounting, synergetics conceptually elucidates the Boltzmann import-export, entropy-syntropy transaction and the elegant manner in which nature accommodates the “hidden ball” play of now-you-see-it-now-you-don’t energy transference.
