Hi,
I've seen the introductory video, read some articles related to Dewey
Larson's theory, and found some coincidences with previous ideas exposed
here. But also some important differences, and what appears to be some
gross misunderstandings, or confusions, on their part.
First, I want to point out that this was the first time I've heard about
Larson's Reciprocal System theory.
The basic idea of RS theory is that time and space are something like
the two aspects of the same thing: motion. I must read more about it,
but at first sight this idea of reciprocity looks wrong to me, for the
simple reason that time, as it was demonstrated before, has no physical
existence. Time is an abstraction(a mental construction), whereas space
it is not. So, they cannot be reciprocal.
Moreover, RS theory is tridimensional, and Euclidean. This is
inconsistent with both, a fourth dimensional theory of mass, and more
importantly, a geometrical explanation of gravity. RS makes no clear
mention of a fourth dimension, but instead talks about "the Astral
plane", and "crossing the quantum boundary", which sounds as euphemisms
to say that they don't know about what they are talking about.
The ideas of a fourth spatial dimension, and of a rotation over the
W-axis(the fourth coordinate axis) as the origin of mass(i.e. mass a
W-Spin), as we have proposed before, are, as far as I can tell,
original. They were first postulated here in vortex-l, on May 22, 2009.
RS Theory proponents could benefit from hearing and thinking about them.
To summarize, and also to correct some of my previous assertions, based
in recent reflections:
- Only movement and empty space exists. That is, movement and empty
space are the foundations of our physical universe. To correct a
previous error: Matter is a consequence of movement, but space(empty
space) isn't. Let's say for the moment that empty space "just is".
- Matter(and consequently, mass) is the tridimensional manifestation of
a rotation over a fourth dimensional axis(at an angular speed many times
that of the speed of light), of what we call elementary particles. That
is, matter is now a specific, identifiable, and probably measurable
property of elementary particles; that what we've called W-Spin.
- Gravity is a consequence of that rotation, which is propagated to the
surrounding tridimensional space, as a geometrical distortion of that
space. This makes a lot of sense, since as the rotation is
fourth-dimensional, its tridimensional expression is no more than a
geometrical distortion, a curvature. So, tridimensional space is
non-euclidean, and its specific geometry is affected by the presence of
matter, that is, by the magnitude of the rotation of the particles over
the W-axis, and this effect is accumulative in the case of many
particles(think people jumping over an elastic bed; also, think vortexes
in a fluid, which distort and "attract" the fluid and the particles in
the fluid).
- This geometry could also depend on other higher dimensional factors
(i.e. space could be cuatridimensionally spherical, by example, and have
some kind of global curvature) but it nevertheless depends also on the
presence of matter, i.e. it depends on density.

Crossing the Quantum Boundary: A Phenomenon of the Astral Plane?
<http://rstheory.org/articles/Hamner/CrossingQuantum.html>
There are a number of interesting ideas, but the author seems to confuse
the Astral plane with the Etheric. It seems that they've borrowed ideas
from Theosophy, in a somewhat confused, or partial, way.
The Conclusion is interesting:
<quote>
Since crossing the quantum boundary produces non-local effects with
infinite implications, and since the Astral Plane is, by definition, the
next higher dimensionality, we would like to offer that these phenomena
take place in the Astral Plane.
An interesting consequence of this hypothesis is the following
calculation: Since the space-time Progression is flying along at the
speed of light, and since we are inextricably bound to the material
aggregates of this corner of the galaxy, then each atom of our physical
body must enter and exit a unit of space-time every 1.52 x 10^-16
seconds. That means that every atom of our body crosses the quantum
boundary (2 x 1/1.52) or 1.32 x 10^16 times a second!
Think of it, every atom of your body gets to take a brief (very brief)
"Astral holiday" away from this mundane physical existence many (very
many) times a second.
But then, time and space do not exist in the Astral Plane,… so what do
"very brief" and "very many" mean there?
We hope that this article has piqued the reader's interest that our hard
science might benefit from consideration of the higher planes, that
"boundary crossing" is more complex than most would consider, and that
the RS "quantum" theory is a major contribution to the understanding of
our exciting world.

When they say "astral plane", correctly said it must be "etheric plane".
And when they talk about "crossing the quantum boundary", that must be
really understood as "rotation over the fourth dimensional axis", as
we've shown.
It could be interesting to know how they obtained/calculated that
value(1.52 x 10^-16 seconds), and to correlate it to a calculated value
based on the interference pattern, Zitterbewegung, as mentioned earlier.
Ideas regarding 3D-time, clock space(whatever that is), reciprocity of
time and space, and even discreteness, are in my opinion mostly
non-sense, only required by their "reciprocity" postulate.
So, if they or someone get rid of the reciprocity, start to understand
time as an abstraction, replace it at the physical level for velocity,
and incorporate the W-axis rotation(W-Spin) as a foundation for mass,
and if, after all that, can model it mathematically, (something that
mustn't be so difficult using four dimensional tensors), they will be
close to having a good theory, and with physical significance. That
could be a revolution in theoretical physics.
Best regards,
Mauro
