In the previous post it was shown that velocity in the third hierarchical bounded-dimension involved a helical path. Now the next subducted dimension, the fourth hierarchical bounded dimension (not to be confused with time) would seem to lead us into completely new territory, a unit that becomes a new universe of phenomena.
Interestingly enough the solenoid is a very well known precedent for this, i.e. a current-carrying coil of wire that acts like a magnet when a current passes through it. Now in a previous post (Tue, 13 Jul 2004 09:02:19) http://www.escribe.com/science/vortex/m31209.html I wrote, ==================================================== .........It has long struck me that magnetic flow lines cannot be at right angles electric flow lines. In short, we must have the same situation as in a ring vortex with a spiral helical flow around a axial orbital flow. Thingees at right angles don't interact coz there's no resolved component to drive the minor flow along. ==================================================== and of course, as all you electrical-geeks <grin> well appreciate, the three bounded-dimension solenoid leads to a one dimensional magnetic flux up its axis. Now magnetic flux is a whole new ball game as one would expect by opening up a subducted fourth dimension, eh! 8-) Logically {and as Mr.Spock's younger brother, I am very logical) it follows that if we drive a magnetic flux around a helix we will enter an entirely new phenomenological space. What space I haven't the faintest idea but I am sure all you experimental geniuses will soon investigate and let me know. You asked for suggestions, Keith, and I've given you one. Not only that, but I have given you a solid theoretical argument for believing that it will open up a new territory. Let's hope my fellow anglophones stake their claims before the Beautiful Islanders beat them to it. (I should explain that the "Beautiful Island" is not, as Jones imagined, the island of Britain, but the island of Formosa. I believe it's a translation from Portuguese). I can think of two places where [Coil-[coil-[coil-...[coil]...]]] structure are important. One is in DNA and the other is in rope manufacture. Also, very familiar example to anyone who has ever wound up a model plane's elastin motor is the way that the elastic forms a series of knots as the propeller rotated. When these first order knots have spread along the complete length of the motor, larger second order knots begin to form. One can imagine that if the elastic was of a very sticky composition then it might suddenly break up into a stream of individual blobs of tightly wound balls of elastic in much the same way as a stream of water from a tap breaks up into individual drops of water. Come to think of it, a hierarchy of vortices is probably involved in that process too. Simple experimentation should confirm this point. If hydrogen is generated by electric discharges, as Paul Rowe affirms, then it must be the result of a high order subducted three bounded-dimensions velocity. We know that buckyballs of carbon form at the m-th order, say. I see no reason why the equivalent nested materon "buckyballs" shouldn't form protons at the n-th order, say. Cheers Grimer
