* We then discover what has long disturbed physicists: the seemingly 
contradictory coexistence of particle discontinuity and wave continuity.

Particle discontinuity is islanded compression of Universe and wave 
continuity is tensionol, gravitational integrity of Universe.

* All living organisms grow or think "in the round," which means 
systemically. We expand and contract radially.

We do not live in a rectilinear, perpendicular, and parallel 
interpatterning of nodimensional points, one-dimensional lines, 
two-dimensional planes, and three-dimensional cubes, as is still taught in 
all the world's schools.

Because our reflexes ore academically canditioned to predominantly linear 
apprehending, we have failed to realize that our thoughts are inherently 
radially expansive and contractive, topological systems that are 
mathematically describable only as four- and six-dimensional systems.

General Systems Theory, of recent academic vintage, consists of linear 
lists of linearly written words on two-dimensional papertrying to describe 
all the linearly remembered relevant factors and parameters characterizing 
a given linearly experienced problem. Even "expert" parameter cerebrating 
at its best is mere groping in the dark."
