The First Bucky Call for the year
Please make sure you read pages 139- 150 of Critical Path.
I have some of Fuller’s thoughts following.
Kelly
1. Money less…… credit less
2. Money 20th century economic invention
3. Politicians’ Effectiveness
4. Personal Authority
5. Environment and artifacts
6. Measurable levels of improvement less materials, ergs of energy, second of time
7. The big question remained: How do you obtain the money to live with and to acquire the materials and tools with which to work?
The Answer: Precession
Half-Century experience also discovered the natural, unacceleratable lags exsisting between inventions and industrial uses in various technical categories, which occur as follows:
- Electronics 2 years
- Aerodynamics 5 years
- Automobiles 10 years
- Rail Roads 15 years
Lags have consistenly characterized the lenghts of gestation periods

1. 120.00 Mass Interattraction
120.01 Synergy is disclosed by the interattraction for one another of two or more separate objects. But any two masses will demonstrate that halving the distance between them will fourfold their attraction for each other. (Which is the way Newton might have said it, but did not.) He discovered the mathematical gain in attraction, but he stated it “inversely,” which is awkward and nonspontaneously illuminating. The inverseness led him to speak in terms of progressive diminution of the attraction: as the distance away was multiplied by two, the attraction diminished by four; ergo, he could speak of it as “squared.” The attraction of one mass for the other increases as the second power of the rate of increase of their proximity to one another: halve the distance and the interaction is fourfolded.
121.00 Our senses are easily deceived because mass interattraction is not explained and cannot be predicted by any characteristic of any one massive body considered alone. Local observation of mass attraction is also obscured by the overwhelming presence of Earth’s gravity. For instance, two 12-inch-in-diameter spheres of so dense a material as ivory do not appear to attract each other until they are only about a paper-thin distance apart. The thickness of a paper match superimposed on a 12-inch globe represents the point at which a rocket precesses into orbit, going from its 180-degree tendency to fall into its 90-degree orbital independence as an astronomical entity. This is the critical- behavior point at which it becomes an independent entity in Universe, a satellite. Small Earth satellites orbit at an altitude of only about 100 miles, which is only about 1/80th of the diameter of the Earth. This critical proximity event of transition from 180-degree to 90-degree independence is called precession. Mass attraction is also involved in precession, another member of the family of generalized principles. But scientists still have not the slightest idea why mass attraction occurs; they only know that it does. They do not know why. This requires admission of an utter a priori mystery within which the masses demonstrate their utterly mysterious attraction for one another. It appears that no single part of the Universe can predict the behavior of the whole. As we attain greater experience and opportunity to observe the synergetic effects of Universe, there is always a greater discernment of generalized principles. The discovery of a plurality of generalized principles permits the discovery of the synergetic effect of their complex interactions.
130.00 Precession and Entropy
130.01 Critical proximity occurs where there is angular transition from “falling back in” at 180-degree to 90-degree orbiting__which is precession. (Gravity may be described as “falling back in” at 180 degrees.) The quantity of energy that ceased to “fall in” is the system’s entropy. Critical proximity is when it starts either “falling in” or going into orbit, which is the point where either entropy or antientropy begins.
131.00 An aggregate of “falling ins” is a body. What we call an object or an entity is always an aggregate of interattracted entities; it is never a solid. And the critical proximity transition from being an aggregate entity to being a plurality of separate entities is precession, which is a “peeling off” into orbit rather than falling back in to the original entity aggregate. This explains entropy intimately. It also explains intimately the apparent energy losses in chemical transformations, associations, disassociations and high-order element disintegration into a plurality of lower-order elements__and nothing is lost. Entity has become invisible. The switch is precessional.
132.00 The unprotected far side of the Moon has more craters of the “fallen-in” asteroids. Ergo, the far side weighs more than the near side, which is shielded by the Earth. The additional far-side weight of the Moon acts centrifugally to keep the weighted side always away from the Earth around which it orbits. Ergo, there is always one side, the same side, facing us. The Moon is always oriented toward us, like a ship that has its masts pointed inwardly toward us and its weighted keel away from us. This explains why the first photographs showed a greater number of craters on the far side of the Moon. The Earth acts as a shield. On Earth, the craters are not so concentrated because the Earth gets its cosmic fallout quite evenly. Earth’s weight and massive pull are progressively increased to offset the Moon’s farside weight increase and tendency otherwise to forsake Earth.
133.00 “Solids” are simply the fraternities of the “fallen-into-one-anothers.”
