Aerodynamics
by Alastair Couper
abstract
The curious writings of Marko Rodin are examined for some lines of
continuity with established theory. The ancient science of numerology is
the basis on which this work is founded, but there is little in modern
thought with which to link these old mathematical techniques. It is
speculated that research into fractals will lead to some new connections
with Rodin's theories. It is shown in detail that the Fibonacci sequence,
archetype of growth, form, and the golden mean spiral, contains an explicit
periodicity of 24 when analyzed with numerological techniques. This result
duplicates essential features of Rodin's assertions. The intent is to point
to the possibilities of tapping the apparently random zero point
fluctuations that are theorized in modern physics, by showing the potential
for structure in chaos.
Visionaries
The following is a philosophical tour through some of the concepts which I
have been considering, which may help show a way through Marko Rodin's
ideas in his book Aerodynamics to a link with more established theories and
concepts. And hopefully go beyond them. Like most visionaries, Marko's
peculiar but compelling message is hard to understand and set in a very
personal language. The life work of the seer is to make the translation
accessible to others, lest what was valid in the original perception is
lost to humanity. So I hereby offer my small effort toward the process of
distillation of the essence, which could lead to an experimental test of
these ideas. Lest one be dubious of such "visionary" material that does not
contain an established flow of logical continuity with previous theories,
let it be pointed out that in history, exceptional minds have been able to
perceive directly new concepts and ideas; this is old hat for many of the
most creative in all walks of life. At the same time distortion and
garbling is inevitable, and the process of creation then involves
discernment of the essence, a process which has been called "1 percent
inspiration, 99 percent perspiration".
Numerology
The foundation for the whole book lies in the numerological tradition,
which is ancient, probably
something handed down from the Sumerians. As a modern, the whole of
numerology seems trivial at most; and with various cultural overlays,
downright superstitious. The science of the Ancients made much use of
numerology along with astrology and sacred geometry, and one would guess
these were branches of a central tradition. The assertion is made in this
tradition that the base ten system is the most natural number scheme, as it
mirrors some potent aspect of exisence. As an example, DNA molecules have
ten rungs per complete turn of the helix. The key numerological operation
is cross addition, wherein a given number's digits are added to each other
horizontally and reduced to a single digit 1-9. Thus, 5682 becomes 21
becomes 3. This tradition would be trying to teach that in forming a
physical quantity, single units carry as much weight as units of ten or
units of a thousand. Elaborating on the DNA model, it is as if each power
of ten denotes an additional dimension of spiraling. Thus the horizontal
sum denotes a totalizing of positions on the spirals, the meaning being
strictly geometrical in nature, as when a higher dimensional object is
projected onto a lower dimensional surface.
Thus Marko begins with the sequence of powers of two: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32,
64... .and turns this into a repeating pattern: 1, 2, 4, 8, 7, 5, 1, 2, 4,
8, 7, 5. The claim is that this doubling sequence is seen in all life
processes and throughout nature. (Refer to figure 1.). It is this sequence,
joined by its reverse, which form the bifilar doubling circuits layered
around the torus. The quandary is, what energy conditions could these
numbers refer to ? The remaining numbers form a gap space pattern: 3, 9, 6,
6, 9, 3, 3, 9, 6, 6, 9, 3... which separates the previous circuits. It is
presumed that this sequence is associated with a vorticity of the vacuum or
electromagnetic field between the conductors. It is shown that when these
sequences are laid out in a grid, and various groupings are made using the
horizontal addition, a fractal effect occurs where the same sequence of
numbers appears at higher and higher levels of groupings. One is
immediately reminded of the various examples of period doubling leading to
chaos that are seen in all sciences these days. These bifurcation maps,
such as that produced by the much studied logistics equation, show a
repeating pattern at all levels of magnification, much as does the
Sunflower map.
Fractals
Many physical systems display fractal properties, and it is not known to
what level the bifurcations of a nonlinear dynamical system extend to. They
may extend all the way to the quantum level, and that fractals provide a
means for the ever troublesome "collapse" of the wave function. All that is
required to generate fractal behavior is two things: nonlinearity and
iteration; which is to say take a nonlinear process and feed back some form
of its output to its input. The numerological binary doubling sequence as
used by Marko is indeed nonlinear and iterative, so it should be no
surprise when he shows us the repeating fractal patterns of the Sunflower
Map. And yet it is compelling at the same time. The question I ask at this
point is: What can the study of fractals say about the possible extension
of our theories of electromagnetism and gravity?
Conventional engineering uses Maxwell's equations as its guide to field
effects. These equations were developed through the use of experiments
measuring the physical forces exerted by extended bodies, in effect
glossing over the finer details which may be present in the fields. In the
use of calculus and surface integrals, there is always a blur caused by
allowing one component to become infinitesimal while another becomes
infinite. The flavor of this blurring occurs in the following infinite
series expansion:
For any finite number of elements on the right hand side, the series is
undefined at x-O. But if the series is allowed to go to infinity, then the
left hand side results, which is undefined at x= + 1. Problems with
infinities pop up like mushrooms in the lawn order of physics. (Peat, 1988,
p. 260-1). Not withstanding the various extensions to EM theory which have
been proposed, one needs to ask if linear continuous math be trusted for
all purposes. Another case in point is shown in figure 2. Everyone has seen
what happens when iron filings are used to show the shape of the field
around a magnet. This is misleading in that each iron filing becomes a
magnet itself, and what is shown is actually the force interaction between
the two magnets. When the field is scanned by electrons, the picture is
radically altered, and a complicated, apparently fractal pattern emerges.
(Bearden, 1988, p. 44). My guess is that with a new technique, a similar,
fractal result could be obtained for the static electric case as well,
since we presently use electrons to sense the field created by electrons.
As with the magnetic case, this only gives a force interaction, and doesn't
indicate finer details. I feel that the "internal structure" which Bearden
uses in his writings to describe the vacuum state is not random in any
sense, but perfectly chaotic or infinitely structured. Marko has said
"there is no chaos", which I take to be in the sense of no disorder. (The
Koran states: Not an atom moves, which He does not know.) So white noise is
the signature of infinite information, rather than zero information. And
the fractal road of bifurcations is a map (perhaps one of many) of the
territory. It is the virtue of the fractal approach to ungainly systems
that high orders of complexity can often be collapsed to a very simple
model which mimics the overall characteristics, not in the sense of a
linearized approximation, but in the manner in which noise and order (or
information) are transmitted by the system. Richard Feynman has remar ked,
in relation to the "butterfly effect" or "sensitivity to initial
conditions", which renders nonlinear systems like the atmosphere
fundamentally unpredictable, that "there seems to be an infinity of
calculation going on in a very small cube of air". Marko's mathematics
purports to be a sort of Rosetta stone for modeling the ultimate order on
the level of the quantum. He uses the term 'number crunching' to denote the
leveling of the computational problem to a simple form.
Substance:
"When you have only one kind of flowing material to work with, it is like
the universe is one giant flowing ocean. Then the only shape you can make
is the vortex.., which makes donuts. Hydrogen as the basic building block
of all the atoms, is really a wave shaped into a donut or torus." (Winter,
1994a, p. 130)
Peat:
"Bohm's 'causal interpretation' is a proposal that introduces nonlinearity
into the quantum theory. He realized that it's possible to write down
Schrodinger's equation in a new way, essentially by splitting it into two
parts. The first part describes a sort of 'classical electron'. The second
equation describes a bizarre 'potential' in which the electron moves, a
kind of infinite sensitivity possessed by the electron (or other particle)
to its surroundings. Bohm calls this sensitivity the 'quantum
potential'....
The quantum potential that dictates the way an electron moves is nonlinear
and is determined, in an unimaginable way, by all the . . .particles that
surround the electron in question. The quantum potential controls the
movement of an electron inside an atom, or as it travels inside a piece of
experimental apparatus.
Moray King has made a similar point in noting that electrons are not
useful for polarizing the vacuum, due to the ease with which they are
buffeted about by the quantum chaos. This is part of why electrons are
conceived of as a "smear". He states that one must coherently move
masses of nuclei to achieve a stable vacuum polarization, and the heavier
the nuclei, the better. However, he further states that energy effects are
also reported from the use of coils which cancel their magnetic fields,
such as caduceus or bifilar wound coils. All the instances cited require a
sudden, abrupt change of current, such as occurred in Tesla's apparatus
when ball lightning was produced. This would be a case of electron flow
alone generating some sort of self-organization in the fields around the
coil. (King, 1989, p.77-88). The annals of energy research contain a
bewildering array of reports and folk lore regarding the effects associated
with these flux canceling coils. Dr. Hooper, who coined the term motional E
field to describe his research on flux cancellation, has stated that
increase of the speed of the charge flow would vastly increase the effects
he measured. (Hooper, 1971, p. 4). Now increasing the speed of conduction
sounds like superconductivity, in that it would require the orchestrated
movement of all the charge carriers in synchronism to minimize jostling.
This story is seen in Marko's writings as well, where he says that his
geometry ensures the longest possible collision free path, allowing the
flow of synchronized electricity, which he also refers to as accelerated
electricity. (Could cooperating electrons be referred to as a smear
campaign?) He claims that superconductivity is a result of form and
proportion, and not of material content. Bill Ramsay has measured the flux
characteristics of an initial prototype of Marko's coil, finding that it
lies in between the open radiation of a solenoid and the enclosed flux of a
usual toroid, with partial flux cancellation due to the bifilar
configuration. (Ramsay, 1995, p. 10). Perhaps his toroid geometry could
create a synergy of the separate quantum potentials, each telling all to
move in such a way as to eliminate resistance. The use of 'gear teeth,
mesh, number crunching, entrainment and transmission' throughout Marko's
glossary seems to me to point to this idea. A very strong intuition that I
have at this point is that if indeed this synergistic flow of energy is to
be orchestrated in a wire coil, the driving or inducing signal will not be
a simple sine wave or square wave, but must itself partake of the fractal
and vortexian natures. It will have to reference in some way a
transcendental condition, as does the transcendental number PHI which can
not be contained in a number system, but can be invoked by simple geometry.
Only a small "leg up" on the natural quantum chaos would be required for
large results to be obtained. At present, chaos theory and Fibonacci
sequences are making a big stir in investment methods on the stock
exchange. There is presently an artificial intelligence program using these
concepts to learn and adapt to the fluctuations of the stock market index,
and to then make predictions. The program shows results which consistently
give an advantage of a fraction of a percent over the usual odds. This is
not impressive at first sight, but when one moves around large sums daily
with an assured gain, the advantage quickly accumulates. This is similar to
the presumed immensity of the background jitterbug' energy. A special
geometry would give a return based on how well it accorded with a preferred
path of least resistance.
The I Ching
Further impetus in this direction comes from the work of Terence McKenna
and his Time Wave theory. While this theory is as intuitive and elaborate
as Marko's, it is also implemented in software which allows for some sort
of testing. The theory states that the nature of time is not one of simple
linear flow, but has a fractal quality with the usual attribute of
repetition of self similar pattern at various levels of duration. The
quality which is charted by his software is referred to as novelty (in the
sense of A. N. Whitehead), and which he interprets in the historical
perspective as the flow of new ideas and epoch making events into the life
of earth. While it is arguable as to what Terence has actually
accomplished, the process he used is potentially relevant to energy
research.
He began with the King Wen sequence of the 64 I Ching hexagrams, which he
calls a "profoundly artificial arrangement", as a model for the way in
which time's changes could be mapped. He then took the first order
difference. between each hexagram, a sort of first derivative of the
changing number of lines in the sequence. This generated a random appearing
series having values of 1,2,3,4, and 6 (no changes of 5). It was then
noticed that if this "waveform" were turned around in time and inverted, it
would overlay the original at each end. This impressed Terence at the time
as there were several interesting numerical relations that came out of
this. What I thought of when reading this for the first time was that he
was constructing something like a forward moving particle/ backward moving
anti-particle pair. (Figure 3.) (Note the similarity to Marko's use of the
forward and reverse binary doubling sequence.) He took this pair of wave
forms through a series of mappings, all intuitively guided, to finally
produce a sequence of 384 numbers which are the "seed" of his time wave.
Glimpses of Universality
As pointed out by Lawlor in Sacred Geometry, (1982, p.28- 31), the division
of the primordial unity into two is symbolized by the square, and the
diagonal. It is the essence of cellular growth and
It is clear that the Binary doubling sequence and the Fibonacci sequence
are related by the following construction called the Pascal triangle, of
Chinese origins:
11
121
1331
14641
1510105
I became intrigued with the idea of attempting to create a wave form which
would invoke in some way the golden mean spiral vortex. Moray King has
suggested using a "chirp" or logarithmic swept sine wave as an excitation
for energy devices, in order to stimulate the cascade of energy between
frequencies. But is there a signal which would partake of the fractal
nature in a direct way? I began by examining the elements of the Fibonacci
sequence, which gives an arbitrarily close approximatior to PHI by taking
the ratio of adjacent values. If one takes the horizontal sum of each value
of the series, the result will be as shown in figure 7. It is seen that,
regardless of the numbers used to start, the sequence of numbers will
always have a period of 24, with a significant symmetry between the first
12 entries and the second. There is also symmetry in the first order
difference. My immediate question was, "Why 24, or twice 12 ?" We have 12
months, 12 inches, 24 hours, etc. In figure 8 I show further the symmetries
which come from this sequence of numbers. In fact, one can start with any
two ascending numbers, and following this Fibonacci process, end up with a
very similar pattern There are only four different patterns which are
possib le using this process, and these groupings again showing a natural
symmetry. Finally, in figure 9, the sequence of figure 7 is detailed to
show the magical appearance of Marko's two opposing binary doubling
sequences along with the gap space sequence from this process, which points
to some deep image of Universality. This was an unexpected result and lends
weight Marko's assertion that the doubling sequence is indeed a fundamental
construct. But the quandary remains as to what entities are performing this
'number crunching'. To a neo-Platonist, these glimpses of an unchanging
form which lies behind the ever swirling transience of energy in motion are
very appealing and encouraging. They have the same feeling as a conserved
quantity in normal physics which is unaffected by transformations.
I can't say any further at this stage. How does numerology relate to energy
states in electrical circuit?
Hopefully experiment will follow from all this. I must leave these
speculations for now, and do something toward the next step. I hope that,
if nothing else, I have stimulated thought and expanded a few minds.

Notes from Jean-Louis Naudin This device uses the "possible" emission of a
curl-free-A potential which radiates from the Rodin coil both to its inside
or center space and outside and beyond into space. The device is being
under tests and I can't confirm this fact today. Also I give you this
electronic diagram for your information and I take no responsiblity
concerning the supposed characteristics (Faster Than Light (FTL)
transmissions, E.T. communications
Obviously if you hold all the B-Field inside the coils of the torus, and
then put something else in the center region outside the coils, you can get
some additional potential and field energy there in the center of works.
You can also get similar propagation outside the coil, with effects on
distant objects.
Today, according to my first series of test, I can say that this coil have
some interesting spec:
Obviously the center crossover region is active ,.. .A long ferrite rod
placed through the center of the Rodin style coil change the value of the
inductance.... So, the center region in Rodin style coil is quite
active...¯
I can confirm experimentaly this fact now, also more tests are planned
soon.
