986.630 Interkinetic Limits

986.631 In a structural system’s in terbalancing of compression and tension forces the tensed components will always embrace the compression componentsas does gravity always comprehensiv ely embrace all radiationergo, tension is always outermost of all sys tems, macrocosmic or microcosmic.

986.632 Take any bendable substance and b e nd it. As you do so, the outer part of the bend stretches and the inner part co m presses. Tension always has the greater radiusergo, leverage advant a geergo, gravity is always comprehensive of radiation (Compare Sec. 10 51.50)

986.633 In experiential structural reality the so-called sphere is alw ays and only an ultra-high-frequency geodesic polyhedron; ergo, it is always c ho rd-circumferenced and chord-convergent-vertexed rather than arc-circumferenced an d arc-vertexed; ergo, it is always and only quasispherical, which quasispherica l structural form is experimentally demonstrable as enclosing the most volume wit h the least surface of any and all symmetrical, equiangular, structural systems. Be cause of the foregoing we find it desirable to rename the spheric experience, u s ing from now on the word sphericin lieu of the nonexistent, experimentall y nondemonstrable “sphere.”

986.634 As an asymmetrical or polarized struc t ural system, the hemispheric-ended cylinder has the same surface-to-volume rati o as that of a sphere with an identical diameterthe latter cylinders as well as their hemispherical terminals consist structurally only of high-frequ enc y, triangularly chorded stuructures. The spheric and the hemispheric-terminal led cylinders alike contain the most volume with the least surface of all symmet rica l polyhedra. At the other extreme of the surface-to-volume ratio, the equian gula r tetrahedron encloses the least volume with the most surface of any and all omni symmetrical structural systems. The more asymmetrical the tetrahedron, the m ore surface is required to envelop a given volume. It may be assumed, therefore, that with a given quantity of the same energy invested as molecularly structured , sys tem-containing capability, it is less tensionally stressful to enclose are gular equiangular tetrahedron than it is to enclose any asymmetrical tetrahedron .

986.635 In respect to total surface areas of asymmetrical tetrahedra of un it (i.e., iden tical volume) enclosure, it is experimentally demonstrable that the greater the d ifference between the most acute angle and the most obtuse of its 12 surface angl es, the greater the surface-to-volume ratio will be, and therefore th e greater t he tensional stressing of its outermost cohering componentsergo, the greater the challenge to the containment of its structural-system integ rity. (Se e Sec. 923 and Fig. 923.10.) According to Newton’s law the mass interatt raction of two separate bodies deteriorates exponentially as the distance apart d ecrease s arithmetically; ergo, the relative interproximity of the atoms within an y mole cule, and the relative interproximity of the molecules as structurally inte rarra yed within any and all volume-containment systemsand the resulta nt s tructural-integrity coherences of those systemstrend accelerating ly toward their theoretical atom-and-molecule-interattractive-proximity limits. T he se chemical-structure-integrity limits are visibly demonstrated to the human ey e s by the bursting of bubbles or of children’s overfilled balloons or of any othe r internally overpressured fluid-pneumatic, molecular-membraned containers when t he membrane impinging and ricocheting interkinetic acceleration of an increasingl y introduced population of contained gas molecules separates the molecules of the container membrane beyond their critical-proximity limits. These critical-atomic- and-molecular-proximity limits are mathematically and gravitationally similar to the proximity limits governing the velocity and distance outward from planet Eart h’s surface at which a rocket-launched vehicle can maintain its orbit and not fal l back into the Earth.
