Multi-Dimensional Scalar Numbers in the Tetraktys
Submitted by dbundy on Sat, 03/06/2010 - 12:47For mathematicians, the term "multi-dimensional scalars" is an oxymoron. Scalars, by their definition in the legacy system of mathematics (LSM), have no dimensions and the pseudoscalars are not normally thought of as numbers.

The First Postulate of Scalar Mathematics?
Submitted by dbundy on Tue, 03/02/2010 - 14:13Arguably, the most profound consequence of the first fundamental postulate is that the theoretical universe is a universe of numbers, because, as I explained in the last post, all counting numbers can be represented as simple ratios. Another way of stating this is to assert that the set of counting numbers consists of one component, ratio, existing in three dimensions, in discrete units, and with two reciprocal aspects, numerator and denominator, an exact parallel to the first postulate of the RST.

Calculating with Larson's "Speed-Displacements"
Submitted by dbundy on Wed, 02/17/2010 - 04:24Two of the most important concepts of Larson's work, though exceedingly simple, are some of the least understood. They are the concepts of unit progression and unit speed-displacements. The progression algorithms (PAs) are even less understood, even though they are mathematical expressions of these two fundamental concepts of the RST.
Larson explains the concept of the unit progression in Chapter II of The Structure of the Physical Universe (SPU). He writes:

Pondering the Scalar Mathematics of the Fundamental Postulates
Submitted by dbundy on Mon, 02/08/2010 - 05:45In contemplating the postulated scalar, or magnitude only, motion of the universe of motion, we are assuming that it exists in three dimensions, in discrete units, with two reciprocal aspects, space and time. One of the first questions that arises then concerns how to express this motion, or even illustrate it, appropriately.
Pondering the Euclidean Geometry of the Fundamental Postulates
Submitted by dbundy on Sat, 01/30/2010 - 11:51In the previous post, I explained how the second postulate, like the third postulate, is not really needed, if one understands that the assumptions it makes explicitly are really a consequence of the logic of the first postulate; That is, if it is assumed that the units of space-time are all that exist, and that they exist as reciprocals, and the only way a non-unit ratio of these units can be formed is if the scalar "direction" of their increase can change to a scalar decrease, and thereafter alternate between an increase and a decrease of scalar magnitude, then it follows that t

Pondering the Fundamental Postulates
Submitted by dbundy on Sat, 01/30/2010 - 08:02On the RS2 site, here, Bruce Peret discusses the history of Larson's development of the fundamental postulates from which he deduced his universe of motion. Bruce makes some interesting observations on the evolution of the postulates, which started me thinking about some fundamental issues in geometry and mathematics.

ISUS 2009 Annual Meeting of Members
Submitted by B Peret on Sun, 10/18/2009 - 22:01Due to some unforseen problems with travel and holiday plans, the ISUS Conference for December is going to be rescheduled in January. Updates will be posted as available.
Bruce Peret, Secretary
After discussions with the officers and other Trustees, Phillip Porter, moves and Hoyt Stearns seconds that:
The formal 2009 ISUS Annual Membership and Board meeting be held Saturday and Sunday, December 12 and 13, 2009 at ISUS Headquarters, 1680 East Atkin Ave., Salt Lake City, UT 84106. Informal discussions and preparatory meetings will be held on December 10-11, 2009.
End motion; PASSED October 17, 2009.
No times have yet been set. A tentative agenda has been suggested by the Officers:
- The Release of the 50th Anniversary Edition of The Structure of the Physical Universe.
- Papers targeted at issues surrounding the Second Fundamental Postulate, proposal by Rainer Huck (see comments).
- Report on the theoretical development of the "RS2" research being conducted by Dr. Bruce Peret, Prof. KVK Nehru and Gopi Krishna V.
- Other presented papers.
ISUS is making a formal call for papers at this time. We request abstracts be posted on the web site in advance of formal presentations. Instructions will be provided shortly as a followup to this notice.
For information on lodging arrangements or pickup at the Salt Lake City International Airport, contact Dr. Rainer Huck, 801-467-3795. Limited accommodations are available at ISUS HQ (Rainer's home).
