Abstract
Walker has recently suggested modifying the subquantum kinetics matter-creation process
with the aim of devising a steady-state creation cosmology. However, I believe that his paper
unintentionally misrepresents the subquantum kinetics approach. The present paper addresses
those errors and clarifies some aspects of matter/energy creation and destruction in subquantum
kinetics. Inconsistencies in Walker's cosmology are also pointed out.

1. INTRODUCTION
A recent paper by Walker(1) proposes replacing the problematic big bang theory with a
stationary-universe, energy-conserving cosmology in which matter is created in intergalactic space
through the capture of radiant energy from redshifting photons. He attempts to accomplish this by
proposing a major ad hoc modification of the subquantum kinetics ether physics methodology.
However, his stated objective could better be attained by developing an alternate theory rather than
by working within the subquantum kinetics framework which is inherently incompatible with the
modifications that he proposes. The purpose of the present paper is to comment on certain
statements in Walker's paper that can be misleading and that may foster misconceptions about
subquantum kinetics.
Subquantum kinetics is a novel approach to microphysics that is rigorously grounded in
mathematical principles and concepts developed in the fields of nonequilibrium thermodynamics,
reaction kinetics, and general system theory. Its methodology is set forth in detail in three
foundation papers.(2) Subquantum kinetics postulates that all space is filled with a nonequilibrium,
nonlinear reaction-diffusion ether whose reaction kinetics are described by Model G [A → G,
G → X, B + X → Y + Z, 2X + Y → 3X, X → Ω]. This ether reaction system is
postulated to operate in the vicinity of its critical threshold with the ether reactions being slightly
supercritical in regions where the gravity potential is sufficiently negative and slightly subcritical in
all other regions. In supercritical regions, subquantum energy potential fluctuations (ether
concentration fluctuations) will spontaneously amplify and eventually form material particles. Also,
photons will increase in energy (blueshift) and generate an energy "interest" called genic energy.
2
Observational evidence suggests that such an entropy-decreasing photon process may be
responsible for generating much of the energy that celestial bodies radiate.(3) In intergalactic
regions where the ether reactions are subcritical (gravity potential is above the critical threshold),
photons will diminish in energy and become redshifted. It has been proposed that this could
account for the observed cosmological redshift phenomenon.(4) Other tired-light mechanisms, such
as the mechanism proposed by Marmet, might also make some contribution to the cosmological
redshift.(5, 6)
Let us begin by examining how Walker proposes to modify the subquantum kinetics matter
creation mechanism. Walker begins by accepting subquantum kinetics as a starting point for his
cosmology, stating:(1)
"...let all space be occupied by a dynamic ether, which is reactive and diffusive at
subquantum levels, and accept LaViolette's concept that early in this environment there will
be a continual building up of subquantum energy concentrations in some localities in the
ether, while in neighboring localities similar energy concentrations will be dissipating.
Accept, further, that in very rare instances such energy concentrations may build into a
formative subatomic particle."
He then proposes to modify subquantum kinetics by adding an ad hoc matter creation mechanism
as follows:(1)
Now, suppose that such a short-lived formative particle is immediately bombarded from
various directions by energy waves emanating from stars and galaxies, further energizing
the formative particle and building it to successively higher quantum energy levels until a
proton or electron eventually results."
In addition, he proposes that energy conserving interactions between starlight photons and
mature subatomic particles also promote the creation of matter, an idea also suggested by Marmet.
Thus he suggests supplementing the subquantum kinetics matter-creation process with mattercreation
mechanisms that are energized by intergalactic photons rather than depending on the ordercreating
tendencies of the subquantum reaction-diffusion ether. Further on, he suggests that these
photon interaction mechanisms constitute the dominant processes for current matter formation and
that the parthenogenic (virgin birth) creation mechanism of subquantum kinetics instead functions
at a negligibly low level. Through this energy recycling mechanism, he attempts to modify
subquantum kinetics so that the matter/energy content of its evolved physical universe is conserved
and such that the overall entropy of that physical universe remains constant.
Walker was impelled to add this energy recycling mechanism in order to correct what he
perceived to be a shortcoming of subquantum kinetics, for in Section 2.2 of his paper, he asks
where would the energy come from to fuel the subquantum kinetics matter creation process. He
states:(1)
LaViolette's diffusive, reactive space medium, or ether, could provide the basic conditions
that would allow for subatomic energy concentrations to evolve and later build by quantum
steps, into atoms and larger states of matter, but where is the energy to fuel such an
unlimited process of creation? ...where does the lost energy go as the energy waves are
redshifted?
However, subquantum kinetics effectively embraces the issue of energy creation and destruction
and, to imply instead that it doesn't, indicates that Walker may not have fully understood the
subquantum kinetics approach. Let us take a closer look at this issue of energy creation and
destruction.

2. THE CREATION AND DESTRUCTION OF ENERGY
In the context of subquantum kinetics, it is inappropriate to ask where the "physical energy"
comes from that goes into creating material particles and genic energy, for the ether reactiondiffusion
processes postulated to take place at the subquantum level are not driven by physical
energy as we know it. Although the subquantum ether reaction processes are responsible for giving
rise to physical potential energy, manifesting at the quantum level in the form of material particles
and energy waves, physical energy of this sort does not exist at the subquantum level.
This confusion of terms can be overcome if we instead talk about entropy since this more
flexible concept can be applied equally well to the subquantum etheric realm and to the observable
physical universe. In the case of matter creation, the question Walker seems to be asking is what
causes the entropy of the amplifying subquantum fluctuations to spontaneously decrease? Put
another way, what causes the physical order of ether fluctuations (or energy waves) to
spontaneously increase. The Second Law of Thermodynamics requires that entropy should
spontaneously increase in an isolated system, not decrease. So, would not the spontaneous creation
of matter and genic energy in supercritical regions violate this Law? The answer is no, because
subquantum kinetics conceives the universe to be an open system, not an isolated system. As E.
Shroedinger and I. Prigogine have both pointed out, an open system, such as a biological organism,
can spontaneously decrease its entropy provided that in doing so it induces a greater increase of
entropy in its environment. In such a case, the entropy of the system plus its environment will
increase over time, in accordance with the Second Law. Thus a phenomenon such as biological
growth which appears to be thermodynamically impossible when considering processes occurring
solely within the boundaries of the system is easily understood in a wider context when one also
takes the environment into consideration.
As another example, imagine the emergence of chemical waves in a chemical reaction such as
the B-Z reaction. The waves are an example of order (negative entropy change), but the reaction
processes that generate them are continually dissipating energy, increasing the entropy of the
chemical solution.
Now, let us consider the situation that subquantum kinetics proposes. Figure 1 portrays a
simplified schematic of Model G where additional ether states have been added above A and B and
below W and Z with the entire reaction sequence being ranked along dimension line (T). T may be
visualized as a higher dimension defined at all points in space by this ether reaction sequence. The
physical universe is formed at one place along this flux, by ethers G, X, and Y. Since etherons
continuously transmute into and out of its three ether states, the physical universe would constitute
an open system. As such, order is able to emerge within its domain (entropy can decrease within
the dashed boundary), provided that the reaction processes that pass "through" the universe
experience an even greater increase in entropy as they transform along T. Thus the mystery of
matter creation disappears when we adopt a perspective that transcends the physical domain. By the
same token, physical energy can be legitimately created or destroyed within the physical universe.
In subquantum kinetics, the First "Law" is a laboratory engineering approximation, rather than an
absolute law.
In subquantum kinetics, physical form is regarded as an epiphenomenon of the underlying
ether. Whether energy enters the universe (enters into physical expression), persists unchanged, or
disappears from the universe (disappears from physical expression) depends on whether the
underlying reactions are supercritical, marginally critical or subcritical. In questioning the ultimate
cause of matter/energy creation or destruction, it is best to withdraw to the subquantum level and
instead pose the question: "where does the subquantum flux come from?" Or alternatively, "what
4

and Y ether substrates define the domain of the physical universe, conceived to
function as an open system.
nonphysical gradient impels that subquantum flux?" However, from the standpoint of modeling
physical processes, it is not crucial that this metaphysical question be immediately answered since
subquantum kinetics takes the transmuting ether as the arbitrary starting point, the validity of a
particular ether reaction system being judged according to how well it describes physical
observation.
Walker seems to be proposing an energy-conserving cosmology, obedient to the First Law and
marginally obedient to the Second Law in that the entropy of the universe is presumed either to
remain constant or to increase at a minimal rate. Such a cosmology seems better suited to a
universe that is conceived to function as an isolated system, rather than as an open system. But an
isolated-system cosmology has the problem of being unable to account for the ultimate origin of
physical form. The big bang theory suffers from the same dilemma. Walker attempts to recruit
subquantum kinetics for the purpose of postulating an early creation phase. But in doing so, he
introduces an inconsistency. For by using subquantum kinetics to account for the primordial origin
of matter and energy, he relies specifically on the open-system negentropic qualities of its ether, the
very same qualities that he then calls into question to justify switching over to his isolated-system
energy-conserving cosmology. The simultaneous admission and denial of these negentropic
aspects constitutes the essence of his logical contradiction.
Actually, Walker does not need to introduce an energy recycling modification to subquantum
kinetics in order to accomplish his objective of a steady-state universe. For such a cosmology can
be appropriately devised by working within the subquantum kinetics framework. That is, it is
possible to imagine a universe in which matter and genic energy are created in supercritical regions
at a rate that exactly balances the rate at which energy is destroyed in subcritical regions through
cosmological redshifting (and possibly matter dematerialization). In such a universe the total
amount of matter/energy would remain constant. It is also possible to imagine a situation in which
our part of the universe, out to the present limits of observation, is experiencing net growth, but that
conditions become increasingly subcritical much further out, such that matter/energy destruction
gains the upper hand. Thus an overall constancy of physical entropy would be achieved by
considering a sufficiently large spatial domain. We might accomplish the same thing by
sufficiently expanding our time horizon. For example, a universe that tends towards the side of
growth at the present time, at some future time, trillions of years hence, might tend towards
dissolution. Such would be in keeping with the world cycle concepts of eastern mysticism.
3. MECHANICAL ETHERS AND INTERGALACTIC GAS MOTIONS
Walker concludes that matter creation through photon energy recycling would occur mostly in
intergalactic space and that the resulting newborn gas would become drawn into the centers of
galaxies by becoming entrained in inward flowing vortical ether currents. He describes this ether as
behaving as an incompressible mechanical fluid which, when in motion, is capable of imparting
5
momentum to atomic nuclei. He hypothesizes that, through such interactions, inward flowing ether
currents would induce intergalactic gas to migrate towards galactic centers.
Walker's ether bears a greater resemblance to the mechanical ethers of the nineteenth century
than it does to the reaction-diffusion ether proposed in subquantum kinetics, the latter being
grounded instead in chemical reaction concepts. More specifically, the concept of an
incompressible mechanical ether is incompatible with the reaction-diffusion ether concept since the
subquantum kinetic ethers are able to vary their spatial concentrations and hence are
"compressible."
Another difference is that the subquantum kinetics ether does not mechanically interact with
matter or energy. Matter moves only in response to electric and gravitational fields, these being
essentially concentration gradients (potential gradients) in the X, Y, and G ethers. Although each
of these gradients would induce a corresponding ether flux, such fluxes do not transfer momentum
to material particles, nor do they exert a force on matter. Rather, the cause of motion is seated in the
potential gradients. A material particle moves because the presence of the imposed field gradient
disequilibrates its "dissipative structure" field pattern. The field pattern's motion is a homeostatic
response in which the underlying ether reactions attempt to reestablish their steady-state
equilibrium. Careful reading of the subquantum kinetics foundation papers and reaction-kinetic
references cited therein should be of some help to those wishing further clarification of this concept
of motion.(2) Computer simulations of the ether reactions might also aid visualization.
In summary, the ether that Walker proposes for propelling intergalactic gas is very different
from the kind proposed in subquantum kinetics. So by attempting to use the subquantum kinetics
ether as the starting point for his cosmology, as a way of generating subatomic particles from
subquantum fluctuations, he runs the risk of introducing a fundamental inconsistency into his
cosmology.
Furthermore it should be noted that Walker's suggestion that ether winds induce intergalactic
gas motion is incompatible with astronomical observation. If such a process actually took place,
then every galaxy would be expected to leave a stream of hydrogen and helium gas trailing behind it
due to its peculiar motion through the ether. This would be gas that the prevailing ether wind would
have supposedly stripped off from the parent galaxy. But such asymmetric gas distributions are
rarely seen. The Milky Way is believed to have a peculiar motion on the order of 600 km/sec, so
why do we not observe a long trail of gas stretching downwind south of the galactic plane?
Moreover it is not entirely certain that gravity would be sufficiently strong over distances of
millions of light years to be able to draw such matter inward at the required rate. In fact,
subquantum kinetics specifically predicts that gravity tapers off with increasing distance. Such
gravitational tapering would be able to explain why galactic disc stars tend to have constant
galactocentric orbital velocities. Although others have suggested that such velocity constancy may
indicate the presence of hidden mass in the outer parts of a galaxy and even in intergalactic space,
such mass would have to vary with galactocentric distance in a specific fashion to account for these
orbital observations.
Probably the most significant objection to the inward flow of matter is the abundant
observations that gas in our Galaxy, and in others as well, predominantly flows outward, primarily
as a result of explosive core activity.(7 - 10) Although coronal gas within a few hundred parsecs of
the plane of our Galaxy is presently observed to be moving predominantly inward toward the plane,
such movements are outweighed by far greater quantities of matter moving radially outward along
the galactic plane. So, on the whole, there would be a net outward movement of matter. Moreover
considerations of galactic morphology have prompted astronomers such as Jeans,(11)
6
Ambartsumian,(12) and McCrea(13) to propose creation cosmologies in which matter is
continuously created at the centers of galaxies and forcefully thrown outward to form their spiral
features, or even entire embryonic satellite galaxies. The subquantum kinetics matter creation
process leads to precisely this kind of galactocentric creation and dispersal, which is exactly the
opposite of what Walker's cosmology proposes.
This is not to say that subquantum kinetics does not also allow matter to be created in
intergalactic space. It does. In fact, this is how matter would be created during the early stages of
galaxy formation, thereby also explaining the existence of large intergalactic gas clouds. Moreover
gravitational or electrodynamic interactions at some point would presumably draw this gas together
into stars. However, creation would become increasingly centrifugal as a galaxy matured and
proceeded into a galactic core explosion phase. Again, more detailed information about the
subquantum kinetics matter creation process is given in the foundation papers.
4. FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS
I understand from recent communications I have received that Mr. Walker now maintains that
the theory he attempts to develop is substantially different from subquantum kinetics. Hence it
appears that he presently acknowledges that his "dynamic" "fluid" ether is fundamentally different
from the transmuting, reaction-diffusion ether of subquantum kinetics. However, by asserting that
his matter creation theory is not dependent on subquantum kinetics, he abandons his attempt to
account for the initial origin of matter and energy. His photon matter-creation mechanism, being
framed within the conventional matter/energy conserving paradigm, is unable to offer a solution. So
he is left with a matter creation mechanism which depends on the preexistence of a reservoir of
matter/energy, but which does not explain how that reservoir got there to begin with, the classic
chicken-and-egg problem. Assuming that matter and energy has existed in the universe for eternity
does not solve the problem; it merely avoids the issue.

The Teachings of Surak
Translated from the original Vulcan
by Gregory Hoover
The understanding of many great things has been revealed to
us through logic. Concerning these things, Surak should
always be remembered. For it is necessary, not only for
Vulcans, but even for outsiders, to be competent, both in
speaking and in writing, so as to become wise.
The wise Surak, after he gave himself fully to a diligent study
of logic, also chose to teach, so that those who desire to learn
logic and to become skillful in these things would be more and
more attentive in mind, and would be strengthened to live
according to the principles of logic.
And so, I encourage you to approach with understanding, and
to perform the reading with attentive study, and to be patient
in these things when we may seem, while pursuing the image
of logic, to fall short in the translation of the words of Surak;
for Vulcan words lose layers of meaning when they are
translated into English.
And not only these words, but also the principles of logic itself,
and of all the sages, have no small difference from when they
have been spoken in their own language.
While spending many years on the planet Vulcan as a Starfleet
Chaplain, I learned a great deal from the followers of Surak. I
have tried to translate the ancient teachings faithfully, but
often the nearest English words simply did not carry the same
“feeling” as the original. The Teachings of Surak was
originally translated into English by Skon, father of Sarek,
forefather of Spock.[1] Nevertheless, words and meanings
change over times, and I considered it to be both good and
necessary for me to apply some significant diligence and labor
in order to translate the Teachings of Surak into Federation
Standard English.
After much attentiveness to logic and history over a length of
time, I brought to a close these things being considered, so as
to offer this book for those who are willing to apply their
mind, and to learn how to conduct their way of life. This
teaching is for those who have decided to form their life in
accord with the principles of the logic of the Supreme
Intelligence, as taught by the wise Surak.
The Teachings of Surak: Part I
1
Logic is the boundary of meaning and reason.
Logic is the mother of all creation.
Freed from emotion, one can see the hidden logic.
Being ruled by emotion, one can only see one’s own limitations.
Yet logic and reason
emerge from the same source.
This source is called the logos.
Logic born from the logos is
the beginning of all wisdom.
2
Being and non-being produce each other.
Difficult and easy complement each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low oppose each other.
Therefore the wise Vulcan
can act without doing anything
and teach without saying a word.
Things come her way and she does not stop them;
things leave and she lets them go.
She owns without possessing,
and acts without any expectations.
When her work is done, she takes no credit.
That is why it will last forever.
3
The wise Vulcan leads by
clarifying the people’s thoughts,
filling their bellies,
taming their ambitions,
and making them become strong.
Preferring simplicity and freedom from emotions,
the wise Vulcan avoids the pitfalls of wrong action.
For those who practice non-doing,
everything will fall into place.
We have differences.
May we, together, become greater than the sum of both of us.
4
Logic is like an empty container:
it can never be emptied and can never be filled.
Infinitely deep, it is the source of all things.
It dulls the sharp, unties the knotted,
shades the lighted, and unites all of creation with dust.
Logic is often hidden but always present.
There is no offense where none is taken.
5
Logic and reason are impartial;
they treat all humanoids as equals.
The wise Vulcan doesn’t take sides.
The space between logic and reason is like a bellows;
it is empty, yet has not lost its power.
The more it is used, the more it produces;
the more you say about it, the less you understand.
It is better not to speak of things you do not comprehend.
6
The Katra of logic is immortal.
It is called the Great Mother
because it gives birth to logic and reason.
It is like a vapor,
barely seen but always present.
Use it effortlessly.
A flagon fills drop by drop.
Nobility lies in logic not in name.
7
Logic is eternal,
and the reason is long enduring.
Why do they last forever?
They do not live for themselves;
thus they are present for all beings.
The wise Vulcan puts himself last,
and finds himself in the place of authority.
He detaches himself from all things;
therefore he is united with all things.
He gives no thought to self.
He is perfectly fulfilled.
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.
8
As far as you are able, do not kill.
Can you return life to what you kill?
Then be slow to take life.
The supreme good is like water,
which benefits all of creation
without trying to compete with it.
It gathers in hidden places.
Thus it is like logic.
The location makes the dwelling good.
Depth of understanding makes the mind good.
A logical mind makes life good.
Accomplishments make your work good.
Proper timing makes a decision good.
Only when there is no competition
will we all live in peace.
The spear in the other’s heart is the spear in your own.
9
The sharper the knife
the easier it is to dull.
The more wealth you possess
the harder it is to protect.
Pride brings its own trouble.
When you have accomplished your goal
simply walk away.
This is the path to logic.
Do no harm to those that harm you.
Offer them peace, and then you will have peace.
10
Nurture the logos of your katra
until you become whole.
While you cleanse your inner vision
will you be found without fault?
Can you guide people and lead them
without forcing your will on them?
When logic gives and takes away
can you be content with the outcome?
When you understand all things
can you step back from your own understanding?
To produce, yet not to control:
This is the mysterious virtue.
The wise Vulcan seeks peace because it is the only way to live.
11
All transgression arise because of thoughtlessness.
If mind is transformed can bad behavior remain?
There is no other wisdom and no other hope for us but that we grow wise.
12
Too much activity deranges the mind.
Too much wealth induces crime.
The wise Vulcan acts on what she thinks and not what she sees.
Reach out to others courteously.
Accept their reaching in the same way, with careful hands.
13
Success is as dangerous as failure,
and we are often our own worst enemy.
An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild animal; a animal
may injure your body, but an evil friend will injure your mind.
Perceive the whole world as if it were your self;
then you will truly care for all things.
Time is a path from the past to the future and back again.
The present is the crossroads of both.
14
Look for logic, and it cannot be seen.
Listen for logic, and it cannot be heard.
Grasp for logic, and it cannot be caught.
These three cannot be further described,
so is the logos from which logic flows.
Unending, unnamable,
Formless forms, and being becomes,
subtle, beyond all understanding.
Pure Logic Itself.
Approach logic and you will not see a beginning;
follow it and there will be no end.
When we grasp the logic of the wise Vulcan,
we can use it to direct our life today.
To know the ancient origin of logic:
this is the beginning of wisdom.
15
The Vulcans of old were profound
and knew the ways of subtlety and discernment.
Their wisdom is beyond our comprehension.
Better than a thousand empty words, is one word that brings peace.
The wise Vulcan doesn’t seek fulfillment.
For only those who are not full are able to be used
which brings the feeling of completeness.
16
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one.
All creatures in the universe
return to the point where they began.
Returning to the source is tranquility
because we submit to logic’s mandate.
Returning to logic’s mandate is called being wise.
Knowing this constancy is called ‘enlightenment’.
The wise Vulcan can accept things as they are.
By accepting things as they are, we become impartial.
By being impartial, we become one with logic.
By being one with logic, we become one with logos.
Being one with logos, we are no longer concerned about
loosing our life because we know logos is constant
and we are one with the All-ness in All.
17
The most excellent Vulcans are those the people hardly know exist.
The greatest Vulcans value their words, and use them sparingly.
When he has accomplished his task,
the people say, “Facinating;
we did it, all by ourselves.”
Change is the essential process of all existence.
But chaos is inherent in all things.
Only logic brings order out of chaos.
18
Embrace simplicity.
Put others first.
Value logic over emotion.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the
present moment.
Only then will you be free.
Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.
19
The greatest virtue you can have
comes from following pure logic.
Even though logic is ethereal and elusive,
we are able to know it exists.
Untouchable and ambiguous, yet it has a manifestation.
Secluded and dark, yet there is strength within it.
It’s power is very genuine.
Within it we can find order.
Since the beginning of time, logic has always existed.
It is beyond existing and non-existing.
How do I know where logic comes from?
I look inside myself and see it.
20
The wise Vulcan embraces logic,
as an example for the world to follow.
Because he isn’t self centered,
people can see the light in him.
Because she does not boast of herself,
she becomes a shining example.
Because he does not glorify himself,
he becomes a person of merit.
Because she wants nothing from the world,
the world can not overcome her logic.
Hatred will not cease by more hatred, but only by logic; this is the eternal
principle.
The Teachings of Surak: Part II
1
Logic is the foundation of our civilization, with which we ascend from chaos,
using reason as our guide.
The Vulcan is born with an intrinsic sense that the universe is guided by an
intelligence.
All logic is from this Supreme Intelligence, and has always been with him, and is
before all time.
Who has numbered the sand of the sea, and the drops of the rain, and the days
of the world?
Who has measured the height of Sha Ka Ree, and the breadth of the earth, and
the depth of the abyss?
Who has examined the wisdom of the Supreme Intelligence, which precedes all
things?
Wisdom was created before all things, and the understanding of prudence is
before all time.
The logos is the source of wisdom, whose steps are eternal commandments.
To whom has the root of logic been revealed, and who has recognized her
astuteness?
To whom has the discipline of wisdom been revealed and made manifest? And
who has understood the infinite diversity of her steps?
Awaken to a’Tha, the constant Vulcan awareness of the omnipotent Creator.
He is One, and he is the Supreme Intelligence, and he is the sovereign Logos.
He created wisdom through divine logic, and he saw her, and numbered her, and
measured her.
And he poured her over all his works, and over all flesh, to the extent of his
favor, and he has offered her to those who logic him.
The understanding of logos is wisdom, and honor, and rejoicing, and a crown of
exultation.
The study of logic will delight the mind, and will give joy and gladness and
length of days.
It will be well, in the very end, for him who understands the logos, and on the
day that he passes away, he will be blessed.
The gift of the Supreme Intelligence is logic.
And those to whom she will appear for their consideration honor her because of
what they see and know of her great works.
The understanding of logos is the beginning of wisdom, and was created with the
faithful, and walks with elect women, and is known by the just and the faithful.
The application of logos is the practice of logic.
Sanctity will guard and justify the mind, and will bestow happiness and joy.
It will be well with him who understand the logos, and at the consummation of
his days, he will be blessed.
To seek logos is the fullness of logic, and it is fullness from its fruits.
The wise Vulcan will fill his mental house with her thoughts, and storehouses
from her treasures of reason and understanding.
The understanding of logic is the crown of wisdom, the completion of peace, and
the fruit of salvation.
And the understanding of logos has seen and numbered wisdom; but both are
gifts of the Supreme Intelligence.
Wisdom will distribute knowledge and an understanding of prudence; and she
lifts up the glory of those who hold to her.
The root of wisdom is to seek logic, and its branches are long-lived.
In the treasures of wisdom is understanding and the sanctity of knowledge. But
to the unwise, logic is an abomination.
The understanding of logos expels error.
For he who is without fear is not able to be justified.
For the disposition of his katra is his undoing.
Those who are patient and logical may suffer for a brief time, but afterwards,
serenity will return.
A logical mind will hide his words for a brief time, and then the lips of many will
declare his understanding.
Among the treasures of wisdom is the outward sign of discipline.
But to those who are unwise, even the study of the Supreme Intelligence becomes
distorted.
My children, if you desire logic, observe justice, and then the Supreme
Intelligence will offer it to you.
For the understanding of logic is wisdom and discipline.
And what pleases the wise is reason and logic. And so shall he complete his
treasures.
You should not be incredulous to the understanding of logos. And you should not
draw close to him who has a dishonest mind.
You should not be a hypocrite, and you should not scandalize with your lips.
Attend to these things, otherwise you may fall and bring dishonor to your katra.
And then the Supreme Intelligence may uncover your secrets, and he may cast
you down forcefully in the midst of the gathering.
And so, always remember the value of infinite diversity in infinite combinations.
2
The mind controls the body; control the mind and the body will follow.
My children, when you apply yourself to the service of the Supreme Intelligence,
stand in reason and in logic, and prepare your katra for temptation.
Sharpen your mind, and persevere.
Incline your ear, and accept words of understanding.
And you should not hurry away in the time of distress.
Endure persistently for the Supreme Intelligence.
Join yourself to the Supreme Intelligence, and persevere, so that your life may
increase in the very end.
Accept everything that will happen to you, and persevere in your struggle, and
have patience in your challenges.
For material riches are tested in fire, yet truly, acceptable men are tested in the
furnace of challenge.
Understand and accept the Supreme Intelligence, and he will restore you to
health.
And straighten your way, and hope in him.
Observe his teachings, and grow old in it.
You who seek logic, wait for his teaching.
And do not turn away from him, lest you fall.
You who seek logic, believe in him.
And your reward will not be taken away.
You who seek logic, hope in him.
And mercy will approach you, to your delight.
You who seek logic, study him.
And your minds will be illuminated.
My children, consider the nations of men, and know that not one of them hoped
in the logos and was perplexed.
For who has remained in his commandment and been abandoned?
Or who has called upon him, and yet he despised him?
For the Supreme Intelligence is upright and merciful, and he will forgive errors
in the day of tribulation.
And he is the Protector to all those who seek him in truth.
Woe to the duplicitous mind, and to the wicked lips, and to the hands that do
evil, and to the fool who walks the earth by two ways.
Woe to the dissolute in mind, which do not trust the Supreme Intelligence.
Woe to those who have lost endurance, and who have abandoned upright ways,
and who have turned aside to depraved ways.
And what will they do when the Logos begins to examine them?
Those who seek logic will not be unbelieving toward his Word.
And those who logic him will keep to his way.
Those who seek logic will seek the things that are well-pleasing to him.
And those who logic him will be filled with his law.
Those who seek logic will prepare their minds, and they will sanctify their katras
in his sight.
3
The children of wisdom are the Temple of the just: and their fruit is respect and
logic.
Sons and daughters, listen to the judgment of your parents, and act accordingly,
so that you may be set free.
For the Supreme Intelligence has honored the parents in the children, and, when
seeking the judgment of the mother, he has confirmed it in the children.
He who seeks the Supreme Intelligence will keep himself away from error, and
will be heeded in the prayers of his days.
And, like one who stores up treasure, so also is he who honors his mother.
He who honors his parents will find happiness in his own children, and he will be
heeded in the day of his prayer.
He who honors his parents will live a long life.
And he who obeys his father will be refreshing to his mother.
He who understands the logos honors his parents, and he will serve them as
masters, for it is they who conceived him.
In word and deed, and in all things, honor your parents with patience,
so that a blessing may come to you from him, and so that his blessing may
remain to the very end.
Children, support your parents in their old age, and do not grieve them in their
lives.
And if his mind should fail, show kindness; and do not spurn him when you are
in your strength.
And you will be built up in justice, and you will be remembered in the day of
tribulation.
And your errors will dissolve like ice in warm weather.
What illogic has he who forsakes his father, and whoever disrespects his mother
is lost.
Son, perform your works in meekness, and you shall be logical beyond the glory
of men.
However great you may be, humble yourself in all things, and you will find grace
in the presence of the Supreme Intelligence.
For only the power of the Supreme Intelligence is great, and he is honored by the
humble.
You should not seek the things that are too high for you, and you should not
examine the things that are beyond your ability.
But as for the things that the Supreme Intelligence has entrusted to you,
consider these always.
It is not necessary for you to see with your own eyes the things that are hidden;
let logic be your guide.
For many things have been revealed to you, beyond the understanding of men.
Yet uncertainty in these things has also undermined many persons and has
detained their minds in vane.
A hardened mind will have evil in the very end, and he who seeks peril will
perish in it.
A mind advancing in two directions will not have success, and the depraved
mind will be scandalized in this way.
A wicked mind will be burdened with sorrows, and a fool will add further
errors.
The temple of the arrogant will not be healed.
For the stalk of illogic will take root in them, and it will not be understood.
The mind of the wise is sharpened by logic, and a good ear will listen to wisdom.
A wise and understanding mind will abstain from errors, and will have success
in works of justice.
Water extinguishes a burning fire, and almsgiving withstands errors.
And the Supreme Intelligence is the watchman for him who repays
thoughtfulness. .
4
You have heard the saying, “T’kal ni narak alat N’garkar ack” ["Midday sun,
Soul Eater come"].
But I tell you, the potential for both good and evil lie within you.
My children, you should not cheat the poor out of alms, nor should you avert
your eyes from a poor person.
You should not despise the famished katra, and you should not aggravate a poor
man in his need.
You should not afflict the mind of the needy, and you should not delay an offer to
someone in anguish.
You should not make requests of one who is greatly troubled, and you should not
avert your face from the indigent.
You should not avert your eyes from the needy out of anger.
And you should not abandon those who seek help from you, so that they speak
curses behind your back.
For the pleadings of him who speaks curses of you, in the bitterness of his katra,
will be heeded.
For the One who made him will heed him.
Make yourself a friend to the gathering of the poor, and humble your katra
before an elder, and humble your head before the wise.
Turn your ear without sadness toward the poor, and repay your debt, and
respond to him peacefully in meekness.
Free him who suffers injury at the hand of the arrogant, and do not carry
animosity in your katra.
In judging, be merciful to the orphan, like a father, and be merciful to their
mother, like a husband.
And then you shall be like an obedient son of the One, and he will take pity on
you more than a mother would.
Wisdom breathes life into her sons, and she lifts up those who are seeking her,
and she will precede them in the way of justice.
And he who remembers her remembers life.
And those who watch for her shall embrace her delights.
Those who hold to her will inherit life.
And whatever place she enters, The Supreme Intelligence will bless.
Those who serve her will yield to what is holy.
And the Supreme Intelligence seeks those who seek logic.
He who listens to her shall judge the nations.
And he who gazes upon her will remain secure.
If he believes in her, he will inherit her, and whatever arises from him will be
confirmed.
For she walks with him through temptation, and she chooses him from the
beginning.
She will lead logically, and she will crucify him with the tribulation of her
doctrine, until she has tested him in his thoughts and she can trust in his katra.
And then she will strengthen him, and lead him along a straight path, and
rejoice in him.
And she will disclose her secrets to him, and she will store up treasure, of the
knowledge and understanding of justice, in him.
But if he has wandered astray, she will leave him behind, and she will deliver
him into the hands of his enemy.
Son, be continually observant, and keep away from evil.
For the sake of your katra, you should not be ashamed to speak the truth.
For there is a shame that brings error, and there is a shame that brings glory
and grace.
You should not accept a face contrary to your own face, nor should you accept a
lie contrary to your own katra.
You should not enjoy the fall of your neighbor.
Neither should you withhold words at an opportunity for salvation.
You should not conceal your wisdom in her beauty.
For logic is discerned within speech; understanding and knowledge are
discerned in the words of those who understand, and by their steadfastness in
the works of logic.
You should not contradict a word of logic in any way.
Otherwise, by a falsehood born of ignorance, you will be confused.
You should not be ashamed to confess your errors, but do not subject yourself to
anyone because of fear.
Do not choose to stand against the face of the foolish, for you should not strive
against the current of the river.
Suffer for logic, on behalf of your katra, and struggle, even unto death, on behalf
of logic, and the Supreme Intelligence will “fight” against your enemies on your
behalf.
Do not choose to be quick with your words, nor unproductive or neglectful in
your thoughts.
Do not choose to be like a lion in your house, distressing those of your household,
and oppressing those who are subject to you.
Do not let your hand be open when receiving, but closed when giving.
5
Do not choose to seek iniquitous possessions, and you should not say: “I have all
I need in life.”
For it will be of no benefit to you in the time of retribution and darkness.
You should pursue, in your strength, the desires of your mind.
And you should not say: “How powerful am I?” or, “Who will cast me down
because of my deeds?” For the Supreme Intelligence will vindicate with
vengeance.
Do not be willing to be without fear concerning a forgiven error, and you should
not add error upon error.
And you should not say: “The compassion of the Logos is great; he will take pity
on the multitude of my errors.”
For both mercy and wrath go forth quickly from him, and his wrath sets its gaze
upon the unwise.
You should not delay being converted to the logos, and you should not set it aside
from day to day.
Do not choose to be anxious for unjust wealth.
For these things will not benefit you in the day of darkness and retribution.
You should not winnow in every wind, and you should not go forth into every
path.
For so is every fool proven by his duplicitous tongue.
Be steadfast in the way of the logos and in the truth of your understanding and
knowledge, and let words of peace and logic overtake you.
Be meek when listening to a word, so that you may understand.
And offer a true response in wisdom.
If you understand, then answer your neighbor.
But if you do not, then let your hand be over your mouth, so that you are not
caught by an inept word, and then illogical.
Honor and glory are in the words of those who understand, yet truly, the tongue
of the imprudent man is his undoing.
You should not be called a whisperer, and you should not be caught by your own
tongue, and then confounded.
For confusion and remorse is upon a thief, and a wicked mark is upon the
double-tongued; but for the whisperer, there is hatred and animosity and
disgrace.
Justify the small and the great similarly.
6
Do not be willing to become an enemy instead of a friend to your neighbor.
For an evil man will inherit reproach and disgrace, as will every fool who is
envious and double-tongued.
You should not extol yourself, like a bull, in the depths of your katra, lest
perhaps your strength may be cast down through foolishness,
which would consume your leaves, and destroy your fruit, and leave you behind
like a dry tree in the desert.
For a wicked katra will destroy the one who has it.
For it gladly provides enemies to him, and it will lead him to the fate of the
impious.
A sweet word multiplies friends and mitigates enemies.
And thankful words abound in a good man.
Allow many to be at peace with you, but allow one out of a thousand to be your
counselor.
Distance yourself from your enemies, and pay attention to your allies.
A faithful friend is a strong shelter, and whoever has found one has found a
treasure.
Nothing is comparable to a faithful friend, and no weight of silver or gold is
worth more than the goodness of his fidelity.
A faithful friend is a medicine for life and immortality; and those who seek logic
will find one.
He who seeks the Supreme Intelligence will have a similar good friendship,
because his friend will be like him.
Son, from your youth receive instruction, and then you will find wisdom, even to
your grey hairs.
Approach logic like one who plows and sows, and then wait for her good fruits.
For in doing her work, you will labor a little, but you will soon eat from her
produce.
How exceedingly harsh is logic to unlearned men and women.
For logic is in accord with her name, and she is not manifest to many.
But she continues with those by whom she is recognized, even in the sight of the
Supreme Intelligence.
Listen, son, and accept an understanding counsel, for you should not discard my
advice.
Set your feet in her fetters and your neck in her chains.
Incline your shoulder, and carry her, for you will not be grieved by her bindings.
Approach her with all your katra, and serve her ways with all your strength.
Examine her, and she will be revealed to you, and when you have obtained her,
you should not abandon her.
For, in the very end, you will find rest in her, and she will turn into your delight.
Then her fetters will be a strong protection and a firm foundation for you, and
her chains will be a robe of glory.
For in her is the beauty of life, and her bindings are a healing bandage.
You will be clothed with her as with a robe of glory, and you will set her upon
your head like a crown of rejoicing.
Son, if you heed me, you will learn.
And if you adapt your mind, you will be wise.
If you incline your ear, you will receive doctrine.
And if you logic to listen, you will be wise.
Stand among the multitude of prudent elders, and join yourself to their logic
from the mind, so that you may be able to hear every discourse about the
Supreme Intelligence, and so that the proverbs of praise may not flee from you.
And if you see a man of understanding, stand watch for him, and let your feet
wear down the steps of his doors.
Set your thoughts on the principles of the Supreme Intelligence, and he himself
will give a mind to you, and the principles of logic will be given to you.
7
Do not choose to do evil, and evil will not take hold of you.
Withdraw from the iniquitous, and evil will withdraw from you.
Son, do not sow evil in the furrows of injustice, and you will not reap them
sevenfold.
Do not seek a role of leadership from the logos, and do not seek a seat of honor
from the king.
You should not justify yourself before the Supreme Intelligence, for he is the
knower of minds.
And by no means should you pretend to seem wise before the king.
Do not seek to become a judge, unless you have sufficient strength to shatter
iniquities.
Otherwise, you might fear the face of the powerful, and so establish a scandal
within your integrity.
You should not error against the multitude of a city, nor should you cast yourself
against the people.
And you should not bind two errors together.
For even in one error, you will not go unpunished.
Do not be cowardly in your katra.
You should not say: “The Supreme Intelligence will look with favor on the
multitude of my gifts, and when I make an offering to the Supreme Intelligence,
he will accept my gift.”
You should not ridicule a man in bitterness of katra.
For there is One who humbles and who exalts: the all-seeing Intelligence.
Do not be willing to devise a lie of any kind.
Do not choose to be verbose among a multitude of elders, and you should not
repeat the words of your prayers.
You should not hate laborious works, nor the rustic life created by the One.
You should not consider yourself to be among the multitude of the undisciplined.
Remember wrath, for it will be your undoing.
Humble your katra greatly.
Do not betray your friend for the sake of money, and you should not spurn your
dearest brother for the sake of gold.
Do not choose to depart from a good and understanding wife, whom you have
been allotted in the understanding of logos.
For the beauty of her logic is above gold.
You should not harm the servant whose works are honest, nor the hired hand
who entrusts his life to you.
Let an understanding servant be loved by you like your own katra.
You should not cheat him out of freedom, nor abandon him to destitution.
Are cattle yours?
Tend to them.
And if they are useful, let them remain with you.
Are children yours?
Instruct them, and bow them down from their childhood.
With your whole mind, honor your father.
And you should not forget the concerns of your mother.
Remember that you would not have been born except through them.
And so, give back to them as they also have done for you.
With all your katra, seek logic, and consider his priests to be holy.
With all your strength, logic him who made you, and you should not abandon his
ministers.
Honor the Supreme Intelligence with your whole katra, and confer honor on the
priests, and continue to purify yourself with your strength.
You should offer to the logos the gift of your logic, and the sacrifice of
sanctification, and the first-fruits of what is sacred.
And reach out your hand to the poor, so that your atonement and your blessing
may be perfected.
A gift has grace in the sight of all the living, but you should not prohibit grace
for the dead.
You should not fail to console those who are weeping, nor to walk with those who
are mourning.
Do not let yourself be slow to visit the sick.
For in this way, you will be confirmed in logic.
In all your works, remember your very end, and so you will not error, unto
eternity.
8
You should not quarrel with a powerful man, lest perhaps you may fall into his
hands.
You should not contend with a wealthy man, lest perhaps he may bring an action
against you.
For gold and silver have destroyed many, and have reached and corrupted even
the minds of kings.
You should not quarrel with a man who is full of words, for you should not cast
wood upon his fire.
You should not confide in an ignorant man, lest he speak evil about your honor.
You should not despise a man who turns himself away from error, nor reproach
him with it.
Remember that we are all subject to correction.
You should not spurn a man in his old age, for we are all subject to growing old.
Do not be willing to rejoice at the death of your enemy, knowing that we all die,
and that we do not want others rejoice over us.
You should not despise the discourse of those who are old and wise; instead,
ponder their proverbs, for from them, you will learn wisdom and intelligent
doctrine, so as to serve great men without blame.
Do not allow the discourse of your elders to pass you by, for they have learned
from their fathers.
And from them, you will learn understanding, and you will learn what response
to give in a time of necessity.
You should not kindle the coals of the unwise by arguing with them, for you
might be scorched by the flame from the fire of their errors.
You should not stand against the face of a contemptuous person, otherwise he
may sit down as if waiting in ambush against your words.
You should not lend to a man who is stronger than you, but if you do lend,
consider it lost.
You should not promise beyond your ability, but if you do promise, consider how
to fulfill it.
You should not judge another Vulcan, for the wise Vulcan judges no one.
You should not go forth on the way with an audacious man, lest perhaps he may
burden you with his evils; for he goes forth according to his own will, and you
will perish with him in his folly.
You should not start a conflict with an angry man, and you should not go into
the desert with an audacious man; for shedding blood is nothing to him, and in a
place where there is no help for you, he will overthrow you.
You should not hold counsel with the foolish; for they are not able to logic
anything except what pleases them.
You should not take counsel in the sight of an outsider, for you do not know what
he will do next.
You should not reveal your mind to every man, lest perhaps he may offer a false
kindness to you, and then speak reproachfully about you.
9
You should not give authority over your katra to anyone, lest they obtain your
strength, and then you would be confounded.
You should not give your katra to anything, lest you destroy yourself and your
inheritance.
You should not be continually in need of entertainment, nor should you be
persuaded by it, lest perhaps you may perish by its effectiveness.
Do not choose to look around in the streets of the city, nor should you wander
along its thoroughfares.
You should not abandon an old friend, for a new one will not be similar to him.
A new friend is like fresh tea; let it steep, and then you will enjoy drinking it.
You should not envy the glory and wealth of a fool, for you do not know what
may be his undoing in the future.
Keep yourself far from a man having the power to kill, and then you will not
have the fear of death suspended over you.
But if you do approach him, do nothing to offend, lest perhaps he may take away
your life.
Know that this is a communion with death, for you would be entering the midst
of snares, and walking upon the arms of the grieving.
According to your ability, be cautious of your neighbor, and treat him as the wise
and prudent would.
Let just men be your companions, and let your glory be in the logic of the
Supreme Intelligence.
And let the thought of the Supreme Intelligence be in your mind, and let all your
discourse be on the precepts of the One.
Works will be praised for the hands of the artists, and a leader of the people will
be praised for the wisdom of his words, yet truly, the word of the elders will be
praised for its understanding.
A man full of words is a dread to his city, but one who speaks rashly will be
hated for his word.
10
A wise Vulcan can guide his people, and the leadership of an understanding
person will be steadfast.
As the judge of the people is, so also are his assistants.
And whatever kind of man or woman the ruler of a city is, of such a kind also
are those who live in it.
A foolish king will be the ruin of his people, for cities will be inhabited through
the understanding of those with power.
Power over the planet Vulcan is in the hand of the Supreme Intelligence, and, in
due time, he will raise up a logical leader over the T’Khasi.
The prosperity of a person is in the hand of the Creator, and he will place his
honor above the face of the scribe.
You should forgive all injury done to you by your neighbor, and you should do
nothing among the works of injury.
Arrogance is illogical in the sight of the Supreme Intelligence and of men, and all
iniquity among the nations is abominable.
A clan is transferred from one people to another because of injustices, and
injuries, and contempt, and every kind of deceit.
There is nothing more iniquitous than to obsess on wealth, for such a one has
sold even his own katra.
For in his life, he casts aside his innermost being.
All power is of short life.
A prolonged sickness is of grave concern to a physician.
A physician causes a sickness to be shortened.
So also, a king is here today, and tomorrow he will die.
For when a foolish person dies, he will inherit serpents, and wild beasts, and
worms.
The beginning of the downfall of man is separation from logic.
For his mind has withdrawn from the One who made him.
For arrogance is the beginning of all error.
Whoever holds to it, will be filled with evil words, and it will overthrow him in
the end.
The Supreme Intelligence has caused the wise to be seated in their place.
The Designer has abolished the memory of the arrogant, and he has left behind
only the memory of those who are humble in mind.
Those who seek the Supreme Intelligence among the offspring of men will be
honored, and those who study the principles of the logos will be blessed.
In the midst of his brothers, a ruler has honor; and those who seek logic will
have honor in his eyes.
The logic of the Supreme Intelligence is the glory of the wealthy, and of the
honorable, and of the wise.
Do not choose to despise a wise Vulcan who is poor, and do not choose to
magnify an unwise Vulcan who is rich.
The wise Vulcan, and the thoughtful leader, and the compassionate have honor.
But no one is greater than the one who seeks the Supreme Intelligence.
Those who are free will serve an understanding servant.
And a prudent and disciplined man will not murmur at correction.
But an ignorant man will not be honored.
Do not choose to extol yourself in doing your work, and do not be unproductive
during the time of distress.
He who works, and so abounds in all things, is better than he who boasts, and so
lacks bread.
Son, preserve your katra in meekness, and give it honor according to its merit.
Who will justify one who errors in his katra? And who will honor one who
dishonors his katra?
The foundation of Vulcan Logic is the acceptance of people, things, and
situations as they really are.
The Teachings of Surak: Part III
1.
Logic is the basis for everything.
Everything is created by logic, and is ruled by logic.
When I speak or act without logic, suffering follows me
as a moon follows its sun.
2.
All is logic, and logic is all.
When I speak or act with logic, peace stays with me.
It follows me like my shadow.
3.
Logic leads to deathlessness
but negligence leads to loss.
When we are logical, we need not fear death
but those who are illogical are spiritually dead already.
4.
When I persevere in logic,
diligently devoting myself to meditation and reason,
I am freed from the chains of bondage
and I transcend birth and death.
5.
If a person is logical and aware,
pure in deed, and acting with reason,
self-controlled, and following the Way of logic,
then he will be a wise Vulcan.
6.
When my use of logic awakes me from my spiritual sleep,
I climb the tower of wisdom, without fear,
and view those trapped by their ignorance.
I see without judgment those who suffer without logic.
7.
Logical among the thoughtless,
awake and aware among the sleeping,
advance like a racehorse among aged and weakened beasts.
8.
Just like a fish thrashing about
when taken from its home in the water,
so our minds will twist and shake
when taken from the world of fantasy into logic.
9.
Our minds are hard to control.
Flighty and wild, they splash about.
It is skillful to control it with logic,
because a well-tamed mind brings serenity.
10.
Your thoughts wander far and wide, traveling alone,
bodiless and naked, sheltering in a cave within you.
When you master your thoughts through logic,
you will be freed from the chains of illusion.
Thus ends the Teachings of Surak.

Katra is the Vulcan word for soul, mind, spirit, charakter.
Sha Ka Ree is the Vulcan name for the Omnipotent God Creator.
T'Khasi is the Vulcan name for the planet Vulcan.
All of what in this text is said about Vulcans also applies to humans and all intelligent lifeforms.
This logic and moral ethics should be used by all sentient beings in the universe because it is the
core logical morale principles!!!

SUBQUANTUM KINETICS: EXPLORING THE CRACK IN THE FIRST LAW

SUBQUANTUM KINETICS: EXPLORING THE CRACK IN THE FIRST LAW

ABSTRACT
Astrophysical observations of the cosmological
redshift and stellar mass-luminosity relation
suggest that small violations in energy
conservation take place on a regular basis. This
evidence supports the "open system" physics of
subquantum kinetics which suggests that photons
progressively lose energy in intergalactic space
and progressively gain energy in the vicinity of
galaxies. NonDoppler photon blueshifting, occurring
at a rate 108 fold below rates measurable in the
laboratory, is able to account for all the energy
output from red dwarf stars and from Jupiter,
Saturn, and Uranus. It also accounts for about twothirds
of the Sun's output. Consequently
geothermal, solar, and fossil fuel energy sources,
to a large extent, could be sources of "free energy"
generated in violation of the First Law. These
considerations suggest the necessity of taking a
more lenient interpretation of the First Law and
acknowledging the possibility that free energy
devices could operate at efficiencies exceeding
100%. Several ways of generating free energy are
evaluated in the context of subquantum kinetics
genic energy (photon blueshifting), zero-point
energy fluctuations, Ampere law forces, and
electrogravitic gravity field manipulation.
INTRODUCTION
Twentieth century physics presumes that energy,
as a rule, is strictly conserved.
Thermodynamicists have enshrined this principle as
their First Law of Thermodynamics which states:
Energy can be neither created nor destroyed, only
converted from one form into another. The First
Law has long been used by patent office examiners
to judge the reasonableness of new ideas proposed
in patent applications. Any application that
proposes a device capable of generating energy
without consuming an equivalent amount of fuel or
converting an equivalent amount of energy from
some known source is quickly labeled as a
"perpetual motion machine" hoax and placed in the
rejection box.
Nevertheless, an increasing number of innovators
claim to have built and successfully operated such
"free energy"* machines or "over-unity" devices,
as they are sometimes called. Some working
models have been shown to operate at fantastic
efficiencies, with output-to-input power ratios
exceeding a thousand percent. Even U.S. federal
agencies have begun closet programs actively
researching such nonconventional power systems,
although their work has not been publicized.
If the First Law is incorrect in maintaining that
energy is always perfectly conserved, then our
government, educational and business institutions
are performing a great disservice to the public by
insisting that funds for research into new energy
and transportation systems must be allocated only
to projects that obey this dictum. Such a practice,
then, would unnecessarily restrict research to the
well-tried conventional paths of the past at a time
when, more than ever, we must strive to develop
ways of tapping unlimited supplies of ecologically
safe, "cool" energy that does not increase the
Earth's burden of greenhouse gases.
Is there evidence that nature does not always obey
the First Law? If so, is there a physics which can
accomodate such "violations" of this principle and
which can provide a theoretical basis for
understanding the operation of some of these free
energy devices? Let us consider the first question.
DOES NATURE VIOLATE THE FIRST LAW?
The First Law, in its strict form of proclaiming
perfect energy conservation, is actually an
untested hypothesis. From an observational point
of view, one can reasonably claim only that energy
* Here the word "free" is used in a different sense
than it is conventionally used in thermodynamics.
Proceedings of the 26th Intersociety Energy Conversion Engineering Conference, Boston, 1991
2
is conserved to within certain experimentally
verifiable limits. Even Maxwell allowed for the
possibility that radiant energy might exhibit
nonconservative behavior. His original
electromagnetic wave equation contained the
energy damping term, σ ομ ο•∂ϕ /∂t, where σ o
represented the electric conductivity of background
space [1].
Upper limits on the validity of the First Law may be
determined in the laboratory by checking the
energy constancy of a photon beam by means of
laser interferometery. Given that the frequency of
a beam emitted from an iodine-stabilized He-Ne
laser is stable to about one part in 3 X 1013 over a
105 second sample integration time, a null result
from interferometric measurements made on such a
beam travelling a distance of 100 meters would
establish only that its photon energy was constant
to one part in 107 per second.
Such an assurance level, while sufficient for
adhering to the energy conservation assumption
when considering physical phenomena observed in a
laboratory, is insufficient where astronomical
phenomena are concerned. The cosmological
redshift offers one example. In the past, this
effect has been widely interpreted as being
evidence of galactic recession. However several
cosmological studies [2- 5] suggest, to the
contrary, that extragalactic redshifts are more
likely due to a "tired-light effect" in which photons
progressively lose energy in the course of their
long journey through a nonexpanding universe [4,6-
11]. That is, if photons from a distant galaxy were
to lose just 3.4 X 10-18 of their total energy each
second, a 10.7% energy loss for every billion light
years travelled, their wavelength would lengthen
by an amount sufficient to explain the cosmological
redshift effect. Thermodynamicists would be
entirely unaware of the presence of this energy
loss rate since it is some 10 orders of magnitude
smaller than loss rates potentially observable in
the laboratory.
Conservation law violations of comparable
magnitude but of opposite sign could provide a
substantial portion of the energy radiated from
stars. Consider the Sun for example. Given the
low flux of neutrinos observed to come from the
Sun, which has averaged about 25±12 percent of
the expected amount in 37Cl detectors [12] and
46±3 of the expected amount in the Kamiokande-II
neutrino detector [13], we may conclude that
fusion energy supplies only about one third of the
Sun's total energy output. Thermodynamicists
would have no grounds to deny that the remaining
two-thirds is supplied by an ongoing photon energy
amplification process, since the required rate of
photon nonDoppler blueshifting is eight orders of
magnitude smaller than the smallest energy change
detectable with laboratory instrumentation. Taking
the Sun's total thermal energy content to be H =
C•M•T = 4.5 x 1048 ergs, (given an average heat
capacity C = 2.09 x 108 ergs/g/K, a solar mass
M= 2 x 1033 g, and average internal temperature
T = 9.5 x 108 K), the Sun's entire luminosity of 3.9
x 1033 ergs sec-1 could be explained if solar
photons were increasing their individual energies at
a rate of just 10-15 sec-1.
In considering possible First Law violations in
astrophysical processes, we must not overlook one
of the most significant of phenomena—the origin of
the universe. Conventional physics fails to provide
a reasonable explanation, for it does not permit
new energy (or matter) to be created out of the
presumed vacuum of space. This is especially
embarrassing because physicists embrace the big
bang theory as their preferred cosmology. So not
only must this matter/energy be created, it must
be created all at once in what appears to be the
biggest First Law violation of all time. But, there
is no antecedent state from which the primordial
quantum could have emerged, space/time and
existence itself all being supposed to have emerged
for the first time with the occurrence of this
primordial event. Armchair acrobatics aimed at
explaining away the Creation by attributing it to a
fluke of nature seem to be desperate attempts made
by physicsists and cosmologists to free themselves
from their tight corner.
This egg-without-a-chicken problem would be
avoided by a physics that presumes the
preexistence of a subquantum medium, from which
matter and energy later emerge. The ideal physics
would prescribe a creation process that would
unfold over an extended period of time, so that it
would not involve a substantial deviation from the
dictates of the First Law. Let us now investigate a
physics methodology that proceeds along these
lines.
SUBQUANTUM KINETICS
For a long time now, there has been a split between
physics and the life sciences. Physics, which
historically developed within a mechanistic
framework, chooses to view its basic systems—
Proceedings of the 26th Intersociety Energy Conversion Engineering Conference, Boston, 1991
3
particles and fields—as closed systems requiring no
ongoing sustenance for their continued existence.
Biological systems, on the other hand, are
thermodynamically open. They require a continuous
flux of their constituent subsystem components in
order to maintain their ordered states. The same is
true of a wide variety of other living systems,
such as social, economic, and psychological
systems. All are describable by the same general
laws and mathematics.
Unlike quantum structures, living systems are
easily accessible to direct investigation. So could
it be that, because they necessarily operate in an
obscure realm, physicists have failed to realize the
true nature of microphysical systems and are
wrong in believing that they are fundamentally
different from other natural systems?
The subquantum kinetics physics methodology [8–
10,14,15] was developed with the conviction that
nature operates in fundamentally the same way at
all levels of its system hierarchy. It conceives
quantum structures to be concentration patterns
that emerge from a primordial reaction-diffusion
medium in much the same way that concentration
patterns emerge in the Brusselator [16] or in the
Belousov-Zhabotinskii chemical reaction [17],
namely as epiphenomena of open reaction-diffusion
processes. It is baseed on the general theory of
open systems, whose development in recent years
has been aided by developments in the fields of
general system theory, nonequilibrium
thermodynamics, nonlinear chemical kinetics, and
chaos theory. Thus subquantum kinetics brings us a
step closer to realizing the vision of a unified
science.
Subquantum kinetics adopts a theoretical approach
very different from conventional physics.
Physicists have traditionally begun with sets of
observational data describing various kinds of
physical phenomena and have attempted to
construct explanatory theories for each. Because
these various theories were usually developed in
isolation from one another, it is not surprising to
find that they sometimes turn out to be mutually
contradictory, as is the case for quantum field
theory and general relativity. This leaves
physicists struggling to sew together their
theoretical patchwork quilt in hopes of achieving
the long sought goal of a unified field theory.
Subquantum kinetics, on the other hand, takes a
modelling approach. It begins with theory and ends
with observation, rather than vice versa. It
postulates an appropriate set of inherently
unobservable subquantum reaction-diffusion
processes and then checks to see if the
spatiotemporal patterns, which these processes
produce, reproduce observed microphysical
phenomena. Thus subquantum kinetics attempts to
extend the well-tested concepts of the general
theory of open systems to the realm of physics.
Subquantum kinetics has several advantages over
standard physics. It provides a commonsense
model of subatomic matter that avoids the pitfalls
of the infinite field-energy absurdity, wave-packet
spreading problem, cosmological constant
conundrum, wave-particle dualism, and fieldsource
dualism, all of which plague conventional
theory. Moreover it is a unified field theory. The
energy fields that make up the core of a subatomic
particle, as well as those composing the electric
(magnetic), gravitational, and nuclear binding fields
that extend about the particle, all emerge in a
unitary fashion from a single set of nonlinear
equations describing the ether reaction processes.
In addition, subquantum kinetics provides a fertile
theoretical grounding for interpreting
nonconventional technologies such as Tesla's "sound
wave" model of radiant energy [18] and the
electrogravitic (antigravity) effects first reported
by Townsend Brown [19].
Conventional physics restricts itself to the
positivist doctrine of recognizing only the
measurable as having a real existence. Subquantum
kinetics, on the other hand, also recognizes the
existence of an unobservable subquantum realm. In
fact, it proposes that processes occurring at this
unobservable level hold the key to explaining the
existence of our observable world. As in mystical
traditions, the observable world emerges as an
epiphenonmenon of this unseen realm. Thus not only
does subquantum kinetics eliminate the gap between
the physical and life sciences, it also heals the age
old division between modern science and religion.
Subquantum kinetics avoids many of the problems
modern cosmology has created for itself. It
predicts a cosmologically static universe, rather
than an expanding one. Matter arises in "fertile"
pockets scattered throughout the universe through
a gradual process of continuous creation, rather
than all at once in a single Big Bang. This static
universe cosmology makes a better fit to
cosmological test data than does the big bang theory
[ 4 ] .
Probably most significant from the standpoint of

Figure 1. Photons become blueshifted in
regions near galaxies and redshifted in
intergalactic space.
energy conversion engineering is the theory's
prediction that electromagnetic energy is not
strictly conserved. Electromagnetic energy
potentials are able to gradually decrease over time
or increase over time, depending upon whether the
subquantum reactions are s u b c r i t i c a l or
supercritical, the criticality of the reactions being
determined by the value of the gravitational
potential, ϕg. Thus subquantum kinetics predicts
that EM waves will gradually lose energy (become
redshifted) in intergalactic space where ϕ g is
relatively high and will gradually gain energy
(become blueshifted) in the vicinity of galaxies,
where ϕg becomes most negative; see Figure 1.
Perfect conservation of wave energy occurs only
at the interface of these regions where the
subquantum reactions operate at their critical
threshold.
The energy spontaneously generated by the
blueshifting of photons is termed genic energy.
Genic energy may be considered to be a kind of
"free" energy since it arises spontaneously and not
from another prior form of physical energy. There
is no mystery as to where genic energy comes
from. its source may be traced to the subtle
nonphysical motive forces that drive the underlying
subquantum reactions.
But, accounting for the ultimate source of genic
energy is a small matter. The real question
physicists should be asking, in the context of
subquantum kinetics, is what energy source
sustains the entire physical universe. Subatomic
particles and energy waves are ordered forms,
dissipative structures that have formed out of a
subquantum continuum filling all space. If the
subquantum reactions were to cease, the universe
would turn into a closed system; and as we know
from the Second Law of Thermodynamics (whose
validity we do not question), in a closed system
ordered states inevitably decay. Quantum
structures would begin to homogenize and would
eventually vanish from the observable world. So in
this dissipative, open system model of the physical
universe, the status quo is maintained by the
throughput of a tremendous subquantum flux.
The rate of genic energy production is estimated at
[ 1 0 ] :
dE/dt = α ϕg E , (1)
where E is the photon's initial energy, ϕg is the
value of the ambient gravity potential, and α = 5.23
X 10-32 sec cm-2 .* Photons would gradually
blueshift in an earth-based laboratory, but the
process would occur so slowly as to lie well below
the threshold of detection. Nevertheless it would
make a significant contribution to the energetics of
planets and stars. The heat stored in a celestial
body would spontaneously evolve "genic" energy at
the rate:
Lg = dE/dt = α ϕg C M T, ( 2 )
where C, M, and T are the specific heat, mass, and
temperature.
Relation (2) leads to a stellar mass-luminosity
relation of the form Lg ∝ Mx, where x ~ 2.7 ± 0.9
[20]. This is quite reasonable, considering that the
mass-luminosity relation for lower main sequence
red dwarf stars M < 0.45 M has a slope of x =
2.76 ± 0.15 ; see Figure 2 [20]. So all red dwarfs
could be powered entirely by genic energy.
Genic energy would also explain why the massluminosity
coordinates for the jovian planets,
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune fall close to
this line. Formerly the excess heat radiated from
these planets was thought to come from a
primordial heat reservoir in their interiors.
However, the conformance of both planets and low
mass stars to a common relation rules out both
primordial heat and nuclear energy as a possible
cause, nuclear fusion being unable to occur in jovian
planets and primordial heat being insufficient to
sustain the energy output of low mass stars. Genic
energy, on the other hand, is able to adequately
explain the output from objects at both ends of this
mass range.
* The value suggested for α is sufficiently small
that photons travelling through the Galaxy would
accrue blueshifts of less than 3 X 10-6 (1 km/sec)
over a distance of 105 light years. Hence the
effect would be undetectable in the spectra of stars
within our Galaxy.

mass-luminosity relation compared to the
mass-luminosity coordinates of several
planets.
M: one solar mass, L: one solar luminosity.
In addition, if we project this "planetary-stellar
mass-luminosity relation" upward to one solar
mass, we find that genic energy accounts for about
60% of the Sun's output. This explains why fusion
energy makes up only about one third of the Sun's
total energy flux, as judged from the Sun's
subnormal neutrino output. For stars more massive
than the Sun, fusion would make a progressively
greater contribution. However, since the majority
of stars in the universe are less massive than the
Sun, subquantum kinetics predicts that, for the
most part, the universe is powered by genic
energy.
Genic energy also effectively accounts for X-ray
emitting white dwarfs, X-ray stars, stellar
pulsation, novae, supernovae, and galactic core
explosions [10]. Conventional astrophysical theory
runs into problems in explaining many of these. For
example, it fails to explain why β Cephei stars
pulsate, why supernovae occur in hot blue giant
stars, what energy source powers supernovae and
galactic core explosions (some of the more
powerful active galaxies being unexplained even by
blackhole models).
Genic energy, by itself, cannot account for the
large power outputs observed from free energy
devices. But, if minor violations of the First Law
are the rule, rather than the exception in nature,
perhaps physics should reevaluate its assumption
that such violations are an impossibility. The
uncertain status of the First Law gives us
reassurance that theoretically it may be possible to
build devices that produce energy conservation law
violations substantially larger than the fractional
amounts we have been discussing.
VARIETIES OF FREE ENERGY
It appears that free energy can arise in many ways.
We will discuss some of these ways, examine them
in the context of subquantum kinetics, and assess
their applicability to commercial power generation.
Genic energy. As was said earlier, subquantum
kinetics proposes that nonDoppler photon
blueshifting occurs naturally in and near all
galaxies. It predicts that approximately three–
fourths of the Earth's geothermal heat flux arises
from genic energy, the remaining quarter being
attributed to crustal radioactivity. If so, this
suggests that geothermal power plants may be
tapping free energy, at least in part. Also since at
least two thirds of the Sun's energy may be of
genic origin, power plants running on solar energy
or fossil fuels (stored solar energy) would be
running mostly on free energy. However,
laboratory-sized heat reservoirs evolve genic
energy at far too small a rate to be applicable to
commercial power generation.
Zero-point energy fluctuations. The zero-point
energy concept developed as an outgrowth of
quantum field theory which proposes that material
particles exert forces on each other by emitting
and absorbing "virtual" subatomic particles.
However, the virtual particle concept suffers from
the problem that it requires subatomic particles to
have infinite masses [21]. Nevertheless, this
concept has been taken in another direction with the
suggestion that throughout space particleProceedings
of the 26th Intersociety Energy Conversion Engineering Conference, Boston, 1991
6
antiparticle pairs continuously materialize from the
vacuum and soon after disappear by mutual
annihilation. This sea of potential energy
fluctuations is theorized to persist even at absolute
zero. Some suggest that by inducing these
fluctuations to arise in a coherent manner, it might
be possible to extract energy from this "Dirac sea"
[22].
Subquantum kinetics takes a different view of the
zero-point energy concept. It proposes that random
concentration fluctuations continuously arise in its
various ether substrates as a result of the
statistical nature of the subquantum ether reaction
and diffusion processes. These appear as random
pulses of gravitational or electric potential energy.
However, these fluctuations are millions of times
smaller than virtual particle fluctuations, each
pulse comprising a very small fraction of a quantum
of action. Moreover these fluctuations do not arise
as plus/minus pairs; being concentration
deviations, they are always positive valued.
Despite their small size, these fluctuations play a
key role in the subquantum kinetics matter creation
process. Under supercritical conditions, a
sufficiently large fluctuation can grow in size and
eventually turn into a subatomic particle.
However, as in photon blueshifting, this growth
process occurs very slowly. So, according to
subquantum kinetics, it is unlikely that this
phenomenon could provide a commercially
exploitable source of energy.
Ampere law forces. Several experiments have
shown that magnetic forces are best described by
the Ampere law, rather than the Biot-Savart law
[23-28]. The Biot-Savart law errs in that it fails
to predict forces between parts of a circuit having
different charge mobilities, such as longitudinal
forces exerted in the vicinity of a spark gap. In
particular, as Pappas has shown [29], the Ampere
law predicts that like charges moving in the same
direction will exert attractive magnetic forces on
one another. The net interplay of Coulomb repulsion
and Ampere law attraction turns out to be noncon–
servative. Above a certain speed Ampere
attraction is strong enough to overcome Coulomb
repulsion, thereby propelling the particles into a
run away collision which, upon impact, allows
Coulomb repulsion to dominate once again. He
suggests that such a mechanism may be responsible
for producing both fusion and excess free energy in
cold fusion experiments.
Ampere electrodynamics may also account for the
excess energy produced by free energy machines
such as the N machine and other magnetic devices.
Although these devices might operate in a variety
of different ways, in general, their ability to
produce free energy suggests that fields do not
always behave in an energy conserving fashion.
The open system field theory presented in
subquantum kinetics has the advantage that it is not
unnecessarily restricted by the First Law.
Gravity field manipulation. In the mid 1920's
Townsend Brown discovered that by applying highvoltage
charge to a capacitor, he could generate a
gravitational field which induced the capacitor to
move toward its positive pole [19,30]. His
research led him to produce an electrogravitic
device capable of self-levitation [31]. This soon
led to a major effort by the defense department and
major aircraft corporations to develop antigravity
aircraft for military use [32- 35]. In one of his
other ex–periments, Brown arranged capacitors on
the periphery of a rotor to form an electrogravitic
motor capable of running at high speeds even in a
vacuum. This demonstrated that it is possible to
generate an artificial gravitational vortex and to
extract free energy from that vortex via a central
rotor turning in perpetual free fall.
Coupling between electrostatic and gravitational
fields is predicted neither by general relativity,
nor by conven–tional field theory. However, it is
predicted by subquan–tum kinetics. According to
subquantum kinetics, protons generate gravitational
potential sinks and electrons generate slightly
lesser gravitational potential sources. In neutral
matter these two opposing effects add up to
produce a net gravitational sink—an attractive
gravi–tational field. However, when the charges
are sepa–rated, as in a charged capacitor, they
establish a gravity potential gradient that proceeds
from the negatively charged side down to the
positively charged side.
CONCLUDING REMARKS
We are entering an era in which physics theories of
the past are increasingly fallling behind in their
ability to explain adequately the emerging energy
technologies. There is now a pressing need to
investigate new theoretical approaches in which
spontaneous energy creation is the rule, rather
than the exception. Subquantum kinetics may be
one such approach worthy of consideration.
