980.01 Relative Superficial and Volumetric Magnitudes

980.02 Starting With Just Twoness: Granted a beyond-touch-reach apartness between two initially inter-self-identifying cosmic events of the basic otherness generating the awareness called “life,” the approximate distance between the volumetric centers of the respective event complexes can only be guessed at as observingly informed by a sequence of angular-differentialing of any two fixed-distance-apart, “range-finder” optics, integral to the observer in respect to which some feature of the remote pattern characteristics of the otherness correspond with some self-sensible features integral to the observing self-ness.

980.03 Self has no clue to what the overall size of the away-from-self otherness may be until the otherness is in tactile contact with integral self, whereby component parts of both self and otherness are contactingly compared, e.g., “palm-to-palm.” Lacking such tactile comparing, self has no clue to the distance the other may be away from self. The principle is manifest by the Moon, whose diameter is approximately one-million times the height of the average human. The Moon often appears to humans as a disc no bigger than their fingernails.

980.04 Without direct contact knowledge, curiosity-provoked assumptions regarding the approximate distance T can be only schematically guessed at relativistically from a series of observationally measured angular relationship changes in the appearance of the observed otherness’s features in respect to experienced time-measured intervals of evolutionary transformation stages of self; such as, for instance, self-contained rhythmic frequencies or self-conceptualizability of angular-integrity relationships independent of size. Relative macro-micro system differentialing of direct-experience-stimulated cosmic conceptuality initiates progressive self-informing effectiveness relative to covarying values integral to any and all self-evolutionarily developing observational history.

980.05 For instance, it is discoverable that with linear size increase of the tetrahedral structural systems (see Sec. 623.10), the tetrahedral surface enclosure increases as the second power of the linear growth rate, while the volumetric content co-increases at a third-power rate of the linear rate of size increase. Ergo, with a given tensile strength of cross section of material (itself consisting of nebular aggregates of critically proximate, mass-interattracted, behavioral-event integrities), which material is completely invested in the tetrahedral envelope stretched around four events, with one of the events not being in the plane of the other three. The envelope of a given amount of material must be stretched thinner and thinner as the tetrahedron’s four vertexes recede from one another linearly, the rate of the skin material thinning being a second power of the rate of linear retreat from one another of the four vertexial events. All the while the interior volume of the tetrahedron is increasing at a third-power rate and is being fed through one of its vertexes with an aggregate of fluid matter whose atomic population is also increasing at a third-power volumetric rate in respect to the rate of linear gain by symmetrical recession from one another of the four vertexial points.

980.06 A child of eight years jumping barefootedly from rock to rock feels no pain, whereas a grownup experiences not only pain but often punctures the skin of the bottom of the feet because the weight per square inch of skin has been increased three- or fourfold. If humans have not learned by experience that the surface-to-volume relationships are not constant, they may conclude erroneously that they have just grown softer and weaker than they were in childhood, or that they have lost some mystical faculty of childhood. Realizing intuitively or subconsciously with self-evolution-gained information and without direct knowledge regarding the internal kinetics of atoms and molecules in the combined fluid-gaseous aggregate of organisms, we can intuit cogently that naturally interrepellent action-reaction forces are causing the interior gaseous molecules to accelerate only outwardly from one another because the closest-packed limits will not accommodate inwardly, while expansion is ever less opposed and approaches entirely unlimited, entirely unpacked condition. Sensing such relationships without knowing the names of the principles involved, humans can comprehend in principle that being confined only by the ever-thinning films of matter stretched about them on, for instance, a tetrahedron’s surface, the third-power rate of increase of the bursting force of the contained volume of gases against the second-power growth rate of the ever more thinly stretched film, in respect to the first-power growth rate of the system, swiftly approaches parting of the enclosing film without knowing that the subvisible energy events have receded beyond the critical proximity limits of their mutual mass-interattractiveness and its inter-fall-in-ness proclivities, instead of which they interprecess to operate as individually remote cosmic orbitings. All of these principles are comprehensible in effective degree by individuals informed only by repeated self-observation of human saliva’s surface tension behaviors of their lung-expelled, tongue-formed, mouth-blowable air bubbles as they swiftly approach the critical proximity surface-tension conditions and burst.

980.07 Such information explains to self that the critical dimensional interrelationships are to be expected regarding which their own and others’ experimental measurements may lead them to comprehend in useful degree the complex subvisible organisms existing between the energy states of electromagnetics, crystals, hydraulics, pneumatics, and plasmics. Thus they might learn that the smaller the system, the higher the surface-tension effectiveness in respect to total volumetric-force enclosure and interimpact effects of locally separate system events; if so, they will understand why a grasshopper can spring outward against a system’s gravity to distances many times the greatest height of the grasshopper standing on the system and do so without damaging either its mechanical or structural members; on the other hand, humans are unable to jump or spring outwardly from Earth’s surface more than one module of their own height, and if they were dropped toward the system from many times that height, it would result in the volumetric-contentmass-concentration acceleration bursting their mass intertensioning’s critical limits.

980.08 Thus locally informed of relative magnitude-event behaviors, the individual could make working assumptions regarding the approximate distances as though, informed of the observed presence of enough event details of the otherness corresponding with those of the within-self-complex, as provided by the relative electromagnetic-frequency color effects that identify substances and their arrangement in the otherness corresponding to the observer’s integral-event complex, the individual has never heard of or thought of the fact that he is not “seeing things” but is tuning in electromagnetic wave programs. The foregoing embraces all the parameters of the generalized principles governing always and only self-inaugurated education and its only secondary augmentability by others.

980.09 Flying-boat aviators landing in barren-rock- and ice-rimmed waters within whose horizons no living organism may be observed are completely unable to judge the heights of cliffs or valleys and must come in for a landing at a highly controllable glide angle and speed suitable for safe touch-in landing.

980.10 Once there has been contact of the observer with the otherness, then the approximate T distance estimation can be improved by modular approximations, the modules being predicated on heartbeat intervals, linear pacings, or whatever. These do, however, require time intervals. No otherness: No time: No distance. The specific within-self rhythm criterion spontaneously employed for time-distance-interval measurements is inconsequential. Any cycle tunable with the specific-event frequencies will do.
