Texto de origen - latín Excita quom tremulis anus attulit artubus lumen,
talia tum memorat lacrumans exterrita somno:
"Euridica prognata, pater quam noster amavit,
vires vitaque corpus meum nunc deserit omne!
Nam me visus homo pulcher per amoena salicta
et ripas raptare locosque novos; ita sola
postilla, germana soror, errare videbar,
tardaque vestigare et quaerere te, neque posse
corde capessere; semita nulla pedem stabilibat.
Exin conpellare pater me voce videtur
his verbis: 'O gnata, tibi sunt ante ferendae
aerumnae, post ex fluvio fortuna resistet.'
Haec ecfatus pater, germana, repente recessit,
nec sese dedit in conspectum corde cupitus,
quamquam multa manus ad caeli caerula templa
tendebam lacrumans et blanda voce vocabam.
Vix aegro tum corde meo me somnus reliquit."
Traducción - inglés When an old woman on trembling limbs
had swiftly brought a lamp, then Ilia,
terrified from sleep, spoke thus through her tears:
"Child of Euridica, whom father loved,
now life's vigour forsakes me utterly!
For a beautiful man seemed to seize me
and carry me off through eerie places,
through stands of willow by the banks of streams;
and afterwards, O true sister, I seemed
to wander lone, trudging to track you down,
to seek you out, but I could not grasp you
with my mind; no path lent strength to my step.
And then father's voice seemed to call to me
in these words: 'My child, first will be hardships
for your enduring, but after these shall
your fortune rise again from the river.'
When father had said this, sister, at once
he vanished, and though my heart yearned for him,
he gave himself to my gaze no longer,
no matter how often I raised my hands
aloft toward the blue precincts of heaven,
weeping and calling him with coaxing voice.
Then sleep scarcely left me in my heartache."

Traducción - inglés [134] Before you do the harvest, it is meet for the beheaded sow to be done
in this way. Sacrifice] a sow to Ceres (as) the beheaded sow before you store
away these crops: spelt, wheat, barley, bean, rapeseed. With incense and wine first pray to Janus, Jupiter, and Juno, before
you immolate [i.e., sprinkle 'mola', or grain mixed with salt upon]
the sow. To Janus offer a heap of cakes [shaped like crossed fingers,
according to Festus s.v. 'strues'] thus: "Father Janus, by offering
you this heap of cakes I pray good prayers, that you be willingly
propitious to me and my children, to my house and my family [family
including everyone on the farm from wife and children to slaves and
hired hands]." Offer an (oblation) cake to Jupiter and magnify (him)
thus: "Jupiter, by offering this cake I pray good prayers, that you
be willingly propitious to me and my children, to my house and my
family, having been magnified by this cake." Afterwards give Janus wine thus: "Father Janus, just as by offering
you a heap of cakes I have well prayed good prayers, by the same
token be magnified by the wine below." Aftewards sacrifice [here the context requries that 'immolato' mean
actual slaughter] the beheaded sow. When the entrails have been cut
out, offer a heap of cakes to Janus and magnify (him) likewise, as
you offered (them) before. Offer an oblation cake to Jupiter and
magnify (him) likewise, as you did before. Likewise give wine to
Janus and give wine to Jupiter, even as prescribed before for
offering the heap of cakes and presenting [lit., giving (the gods) a
taste of] the oblation cake. Afterwards give the entrails and wine
to Ceres.
The beheaded sow'
(from 'praecidere', 'to lop, cut off', with reference to the head)
described by Marcus Porcius Cato (234-149 BCE), the famous censor,
orator, historian, and agriculturist, in his treatise 'De agri
cultura', 'Of the Tilling of Land'. It was performed before the
harvest, while another sacrifice of a sow (according to Gellius
4.6.7), the 'porca succidanea', 'disemboweled sow'
(from 'succidere', 'to cut from under'), was performed after the
harvest.

Texto de origen - latín I. [1] Quidnam esse, Brute, causae putem, cur, cum constemus ex animo et corpore, corporis curandi tuendique causa quaesita sit ars atque eius utilitas deorum inmortalium inventioni consecrata, animi autem medicina nec tam desiderata sit, ante quam inventa, nec tam culta, posteaquam cognita est, nec tam multis grata et probata, pluribus etiam suspecta et invisa? An quod corporis gravitatem et dolorem animo iudicamus, animo morbum corpore non sentimus? Ita fit ut animus de se ipse tum iudicet, cum id ipsum, quo iudicatur, aegrotet.
[2] Quodsi talis nos natura genuisset,ut eam ipsam intueri et perspicere eademque optima duce cursum vitae conficere possemus, haut erat sane quod quisquam rationem ac doctrinam requireret. Nunc parvulos nobis dedit igniculos, quos celeriter malis moribus opinionibusque depravati sic restinguimus, ut nusquam naturae lumen appareat. Sunt enim ingeniis nostris semina innata virtutum, quae si adolescere liceret, ipsa nos ad beatam vitam natura perduceret. Nunc autem, simul atque editi in lucem et suscepti sumus, errorem suxisse videamur. Cum vero parentibus redditi, dein magistris traditi sumus, tum ita variis imbuimur erroribus, ut vanitati veritas et opinioni confirmatae natura ipsa cedat.
II. [3]Accedunt etiam poetae, qui cum magnam speciem doctrinae sapientiaeque prae se tulerunt, audiuntur leguntur ediscuntur et inhaerescunt penitus in mentibus. Cum vero eodem quasi maxumus quidam magister populus accessit atque omnis undique ad vitia consentiens multitudo, tum plane inficimur opinionum pravitate a naturaque desciscimus, ut nobis optime naturae vim vidisse videantur, qui nihil melius homini, nihil magis expetendum, nihil praestantius honoribus, imperiis, populari gloria iudicaverunt. Ad quam fertur optumus quisque veramque illam honestatem expetens, quam unam natura maxime anquirit, in summa inanitate versatur consectaturque nullam eminentem effigiem virtutis, sed adumbratam imaginem gloriae. Est enim gloria solida quaedam res et expressa, non adumbrata; ea est consentiens laus bonorum, incorrupta vox bene iudicantium de eccellenti virtute, ea virtuti resonat tamquam imago; quae quia recte factorum plerumque comes est, non est bonis viris repudianda.
[4] Illa autem, quae se eius imitatricem esse volt, temeraria atque inconsiderata et plerumque peccatorum vitiorumque laudatrix, fama popularis, simulatione honestatis formam eius pulchritudinemque corrumpit. Qua caecitate homines, cum quaedam etiam praeclara cuperent eaque nescirent nec ubi nec qualia essent, funditus alii everterunt suas civitates, alii ipsi occiderunt. Atque hi quidem optuma petentes non tam voluntate quam cursus errore falluntur. Quid? qui pecuniae cupiditate, qui voluptatum libidine feruntur, quorumque ita perturbantur animi, ut non multum absint ab insania, quod insipientibus contingit omnibus, is nullane est adhibenda curatio? utrum quod minus noceant animi aegrotationes quam corporis, an quod corpora curari possint, animorum medicina nulla sit?
III. [5] At et morbi perniciosiores pluresque sunt animi quam corporis—hi enim ipsi odiosi sunt, quod ad animum pertinent eumque sollicitant—, 'animusque aeger', ut ait Ennius, 'semper errat neque pati neque perpeti potest, cupere numquam desinit.' Quibus duobus morbis, ut omittam alios, aegritudine et cupiditate, qui tandem possunt in corpore esse graviores? Qui vero probari potest ut sibi mederi animus non possit, cum ipsam medicinam corporis animus invenerit, cumque ad corporurn sanationem multum ipsa corpora et natura valeat nec omnes, qui curari se passi sint, continuo etiam convalescant, animi autem, qui se sanari voluerint praeceptisque sapientium paruerint, sine ulla dubitatione sanentur?
Traducción - inglés What on earth should I assume to be the reason, Brutus, that, although we are composed of soul as well as body, an art of healing and caring for the body has been sought and its utility even been ascribed to the deathless Gods' power of invention, yet an art of medicine for the soul has neither been found so wanting before it was discovered, nor been so esteemed after it became known, nor welcomed and approved by so many, but even eyed with suspicion and prejudice by most? Is it because we judge of physical disease and suffering with the soul, but do not perceive spiritual sickness with the body? Thus it happens that the soul judges of itself at a time when the very mechanism by which judgements are made is ailing.
Now, if Nature had begotten our kind as such--that we could look at her and grasp her precisely as she is, and with her as the best of guides complete life's journey--assuredly there had been no reason why anyone should have felt in need of systematic education. But as matters stand, she has endowed us with tiny sparks of intuition, which we, having been corrupted through mischievous habits and ideas, so rapidly extinguish, that nowhere is Nature's guiding light apparent. For there have been born into our personalities seeds of moral excellence, and if they were permitted to ripen, Nature alone would conduct us to a life of happiness; but as it is, as soon as we have been brought forth into the daylight and acknowledged, immediately we are caught up in every kind of crookedness and in the utmost perversity of ideas, so that we almost seem to have sucked in delusion along with our nurse's milk. When, moreover, we have been handed over to our parents, and afterwards to our teachers, then we are saturated in such a medley of delusions that reality succumbs to unreality and Nature herself to resolute bias.
Factor in the poets too, who, whenever they have made a big pretense of learning and common sense, are heard, read, memorised, and so become fixed in our subconscious minds; when, however, you factor in the public besides, as a sort of finishing school, and the rabble too, united everywhere in the pursuit of vice, then obviously we are infected with perverse ideas and in fact revolt from Nature, so that to us they seem to have best perceived the essence of Nature who have concluded that there is nothing worthier for a man, nothing more desirable, nothing more outstanding than political preferment, military appointments, and popular renown. To this it is that all the best are driven; and though striving after that genuine respectability, which alone is Nature's especial quest, they busy themselves in utter emptiness and eagerly pursue, not virtue's lofty ideal, but fame's sketchy likeness. For real fame has mass and shape; it is not a sketch; it is the unanimous acclaim of good men, the incorruptible voice of those who judge well of surpassing moral excellence, off which it resounds like an echo. And this fame, because it is generally a consequence of deeds well done, ought not to be spurned by good men; that other, however, which tries to mimic it, being rash and thoughtless and basically the eulogist of sin and vice--I mean public celebrity--by a false show of respctability distorts real fame's beautiful proportions; and blinded by it mankind, while devoted to certain things that are even excellent but knowing neither where nor what they were, have some been the total ruin of their countries, and others themselves their own downfall. And yet at least these seekers afeter excellence delude themselves not so much of their own free will as by a straying off course. What about those who are carried away by a passion for money, by an inclination toward sensuality, and whose souls are so distorted as to be on the brink of insanity--the common lot of the unwise--is no treatment to be administered to them? Is it because disorders of the soul do less harm than those of the body, or is it because our bodies can be healed but there is no course of treatment for our souls?
Yet the soul's diseases are both more degenerative and more numerous than those of the body. For they are obnoxious by the very fact that they involve the soul and so disturb it, and "An ailing soul", as Ennius says, "is always lost; it can know neither mastery nor patience; it never ceases to yearn". And than these two diseases--sorrow and yearning (not to mention the others)--what bodily diseases can possibly be more serious? How indeed can it be proven that the soul cannot cure itself, since the very act of healing the body has been invented by the soul, and since our natural constitutions of themselves avail a great deal in curing our bodies, nor do all who have submitted themselves to treatment even recover right away, but on the other hand souls, which have wanted to be cured and obeyed the injunctions of wise men, are cured beyond a shadow of a doubt?
latín al inglés: P. Ovidii Nasonis Fasti, 2.19-36 General field: Arte/Literatura Detailed field: Religión
Texto de origen - latín Februa Romani dixere piamina patres:
nunc quoque dant verbo plurima signa fidem.
pontifices ab rege petunt et flamine lanas,
quis veterum lingua februa nomen erat;
quaeque capit lictor domibus purgamina certis,
torrida cum mica farra, vocantur idem;
nomen idem ramo, qui caesus ab arbore pura
casta sacerdotum tempora fronde tegit.
ipse ego flaminicam poscentem februa vidi;
februa poscenti pinea virga data est.
denique quodcumque est quo corpora nostra piantur,
hoc apud intonsos nomen habebat avos.
mensis ab his dictus, secta quia pelle Luperci
omne solum lustrant, idque piamen habent;
aut quia placatis sunt tempora pura sepulcris,
tum cum ferales praeteriere dies.
omne nefas omnemque mali purgamina causam
credebant nostri tollere posse senes.
Traducción - inglés Ovid, Fasti 2.19-36
Februa is what our Roman ancestors called
means of purification; even nowadays
innumerable indications lend credence
to this interpetation: The pontiffs request
woollens from King and flamen, which in the language
of the ancients bore the title of februa,
and those purgative instruments which the lictor
receives when the houses have been swept out--the spelt
roasted with salt--are called the same; likewise the bough
which, cut from a tree undefiled, with greenery
veils the chaste temples of priests. I myself have seen
a flaminica asking for the februa:
to her who asked for the februa a pine twig
was given. In brief, whatever it is by means
of which our bodies are made pure, this had that name
amongst our unshorn forefathers. The month was named
from these rites, because the Luperci with flayed pelt
encircled the whole land, holding it as a means
of purification, or because the season
is pure, the dead in their tombs having been appeased
then when the days devoted to the dead are past.
Our forebears believed that ritual purgations
can remove every sin and every cause of evil.
[The precise meaning of februa (sing. februum), which may or may not be etymologically connected with febris, 'fever' and fervere, 'to boil, seethe', is quite unknown, although naturally enough scholars from antiquity to the present day are not wanting in explanations, none of which is convincing.
The King is the rex sacrorum, who after the establishment of the Republic discharged the religious duties of the old Roman kings; his office was purely priestly, and he had no political or military authority whatever. The flamen here mentioned is the flamen Dialis, or high priest of Jupiter, as is proved by the subsequent reference to the flaminica, which is the title of the wife of the flamen Dialis.
"The month was named from these rites, etc.": Another name for the Lupercalia, which falls on the 15th, is Februa. Here Ovid touches only briefly upon the rites which the Luperci were wont to perform; Plutarch and others give a much fuller account of their rituals.

Texto de origen - latín 1 Apion, qui 'Plistonices appellatus est, litteris homo multis praeditus rerumque Graecarum plurima atque varia scientia fuit. 2 Eius libri non incelebres feruntur, quibus omnium ferme, quae mirifica in Aegypto visuntur audiunturque, historia comprehenditur. 3 Sed in his, quae vel audisse vel legisse sese dicit, fortassean vitio studioque ostentationis sit loquacior - est enim sane quam in praedicandis doctrinis sui venditator -; 4 hoc autem, quod in libro Aegyptiacorum quinto scripsit, neque audisse neque legisse, sed ipsum sese in urbe Roma vidisse oculis suis confirmat. 5 "In circo maximo" inquit "venationis amplissimae pugna populo dabatur. 6 Eius rei, Romae cum forte essem, spectator" inquit "fui. 7 Multae ibi saevientes ferae, magnitudines bestiarum excellentes, omniumque invisitata aut forma erat aut ferocia. 8 Sed praeter alia omnia leonum" inquit "immanitas admirationi fuit praeterque omnis ceteros unus. 9 Is unus leo corporis impetu et vastitudine terrificoque fremitu et sonoro, toris comisque cervicum fluctuantibus animos oculosque omnium in sese converterat. 10 Introductus erat inter compluris ceteros ad pugnam bestiarum datus servus viri consularis ; ei servo Androclus nomen fuit. 11 Hunc ille leo ubi vidit procul, repente" inquit "quasi admirans stetit ac deinde sensim atque placide tamquam noscitabundus ad hominem accedit. 12 Tum caudam more atque ritu adulantium canum clementer et blande movet hominisque se corpori adiungit cruraque eius et manus prope iam exanimati metu lingua leniter demulcet. 13 Homo Androclus inter illa tam atrocis ferae blandimenta amissum animum recuperat, paulatim oculos ad contuendum leonem refert. 14 Tum quasi mutua recognitione facta laetos" inquit "et gratulabundos videres hominem et leonem." 15 Ea re prorsus tam admirabili maximos populi clamores excitatos dicit accersitumque a Caesare Androclum quaesitamque causam, cur illi atrocissimus leo uni parsisset. 16 Ibi Androclus rem mirificam narrat atque admirandam. 17 "Cum provinciam" inquit "Africam proconsulari imperio meus dominus obtineret, ego ibi iniquis eius et cotidianis verberibus ad fugam sum coactus et, ut mihi a domino, terrae illius praeside, tutiores latebrae forent, in camporum et arenarum solitudines concessi ac, si defuisset cibus, consilium fuit mortem aliquo pacto quaerere. 18 Tum sole medio" inquit "rabido et flagranti specum quandam nanctus remotam latebrosamque in eam me penetro et recondo. 19 Neque multo post ad eandem specum venit hic leo debili uno et cruento pede gemitus edens et murmura dolorem cruciatumque vulneris commiserantia." Atque illic primo quidem conspectu advenientis leonis territum sibi et pavefactum animum dixit. 20 Atque illic primo quidem conspectu advenientis leonis territum sibi et pavefactum animum dixit. 21 "Sed postquam introgressus" inquit "leo, uti re ipsa apparuit, in habitaculum illud suum, videt me procul delitescentem, mitis et mansues accessit et sublatum pedem ostendere mihi et porrigere quasi opis petendae gratia visus est. 22 Ibi" inquit "ego stirpem ingentem vestigio pedis eius haerentem revelli conceptamque saniem volnere intimo expressi accuratiusque sine magna iam formidine siccavi penitus atque detersi cruorem. 23 Illa tunc mea opera et medella levatus pede in manibus meis posito recubuit et quievit, 24 atque ex eo die triennium totum ego et leo in eadem specu eodemque et victu viximus. 25 Nam, quas venabatur feras, membra opimiora ad specum mihi subgerebat, quae ego ignis copiam non habens meridiano sole torrens edebam. 26 Sed ubi me" inquit "vitae illius ferinae iam pertaesum est, leone in venatum profecto reliqui specum et viam ferme tridui permensus a militibus visus adprehensusque sum et ad dominum ex Africa Romam deductus. 27 Is me statim rei capitalis damnandum dandumque ad bestias curavit. 28 Intellego autem" inquit "hunc quoque leonem me tunc separato captum gratiam mihi nunc beneficii et medicinae referre." 29 Haec Apion dixisse Androclum tradit eaque omnia scripta circumlataque tabula populo declarata atque ideo cunctis petentibus dimissum Androclum et poena solutum leonemque ei suffragiis populi donatum. 30 "Postea" inquit "videbamus Androclum et leonem loro tenui revinctum urbe tota circum tabernas ire, donari aere Androclum, floribus spargi leonem, omnes ubique obvios dicere: "Hic est leo hospes hominis, hic est homo medicus leonis"."
Traducción - inglés Aulus Gellius, 'Attic Nights', 5.14
Apion, who was surnamed Plistonices, was a man possessed of wide learning, and had a comprehensive and diverse knowledge of Greek civilisation. His books, by no means undistinguished, are in circulation; and in these is contained a report of well-nigh all the wonders which are seen and heard in Egypt. Now, in respect to what he says that he has either heard or read, he may perhaps, through a faulty zeal for ostentation, be too long-winded--for assuredly he is his own publicist in vaunting his erudition--but this event, which he has recorded in the fifth volume of his Egyptian Curiosities, he asserts that he has neither heard nor read, but himself seen in the city of Rome with his very own eyes.
"In the Circus Maximus", says he, "a hunting contest of great splendour was being held for the people. Of this affair, since I happened to be at Rome", says he, "I was an eyewitness. There were many savage wild animals, towering hulks of beasts, and all had never before been seen as regards their shape or ferocity. But beyond all else", says he, "the monstrous size of the lions was cause for wonder, and of one beyond all the rest. This one lion, on account of his physical agility and great bulk, his fearsome and bellowing roar, and his rippling muscles and mane, had focussed everyone's minds and eyes upon himself. There had been led in, among several others who had been delivered for the beast fight, the slave of an ex-consul; this slave's name was Androclus. As soon as that lion saw him from afar, he suddenly", says he, "stood still as though wondering, and then slowly and calmly, as if acqainted with him, approaches the man. Then he wags his tail tenderly and complacently, after the manner usual to fawning dogs, nudges up against the man's body, and with his tongue gently licks his legs and hands, now nearly lifeless from terror. The man Androclus, amid the blandishments of so fierce a beast, regains his best courage, and little by litttle turns his eyes to look upon the lion. Then, as though they had recognised one another, you could see the man and the lion, joyous and congratulatory".
He states that a deafening round of cheers was elicited from the people by this incident, so utterly strange, and that Androclus was summoned by Gaius Caesar and asked the reason why an exceptionally fierce lion had spared only him. Thereupon Androclus tells a fascinating and indeed astonishing tale. "When my master", says he, "was administering the province of Africa with proconsular authority, I there, due to his unwarranted and daily floggings, was driven to flight, and that my hideouts might be the more secure from my master, the governor of that land, I withdrew into a wilderness of plains and deserts, and then if food should have been wanting, my plan was to seek death by any means. Then, since the noonday sun", says he. "was blazing and raging, and I had come across a certain cavern, remote and full of nooks, I enter into it and conceal myself. Nor long afterward toward the same cavern comes this lion, one paw lame and bloody, giving forth growls and yelps, bewailing the racking pain of his wound".
And therein he said that, to be sure, at first sight of the advancing lion his mind was thrown into an utter panic. "But after", says he, "the lion had paced into that lair of his, as in fact it clearly was, he saw me lurking at some distance, came up meekly and tamely, and seemed to stretch forth and show me his uplifted paw, as if he were asking for help. Thereupon", says he, "I plucked out a huge thorn sticking in the pad of his paw, and squeezed out the pus gathered within the wound, and quite carefully--now without any great fear--thoroughly dried and wiped away the gore. Then relieved by that service and little remedy of mine, he sank down and fell asleep with his paw laid in my hands; and from that day for a period of three whole years the lion and I lived in the same cavern, and even on the same food. For of the game that he would hunt he used to bring the choicer portions down into the cavern for me, which I, not having the resources for a fire, would parch in the midday sun and eat. But as soon", says he, "as I grew tired of that feral way of life, the lion having set out for the chase, I left the cavern; and when I had travelled nearly a three days' journey, I was seen and arrested by soldiers and brought back from Africa to my master at Rome. He starightaway saw to it that I was sentenced to death and delivered to the beasts. I discern, however", says he, "that the lion too, captured just after I had parted from him, is rendering thanks to me now for my kindness in healing him".
This is the tale which Apion said that Androclus told, and that, everything having been written down on a tablet which was carried about, it was made known to the people, and that therefore Androclus, at everyone's request, was set free and released from his punishment, and that the lion was presented to him by the people's suffrage. "Afterwards", says he, "we used to see Androclus and the lion, tied to a thin leash, going the rounds of the shops, Androclus being presented with money, the lion strewn with flowers, any one they meet anywhere sayinjg , 'This is the lion that was a man's host, this is the man who was a lion's doctor!'.

Qua de causa sanguis hicce (Arteriarum) sanguine venarum calidior est, et vulnerato aneurismate cum violenta foras ejaculatur. It is true hence that Galen mentions these two sorts of Aneurisms, ie. By Dilatation & by disruption of the coats, but then it is as clear that he by no means constitutes two distinct classes, with their distinct effects, symptoms or signs for practice; for he supplies the Dignoscuntur haec mala etc indiscriminately & it is as evident Paulus understood him so by, haec Galenus. Nos vero Aneurismata haec a se invicem probi distingumus in hunc modum and then goes on to give the sighes by which the Aneurysma [INSERT GREEK WORD] / per dilationem is to be distinguished, & those by which the aneurisma [INSERT GREEK WORD] is to be known & distinguished1 Aetius who copies Galen, mentions likewise the 2 sorts of aneurism, & among the notae Aneurismatis says that the tumor in Aneurisms by ruptore is not so soft as in those quae sine vulnere fiunt, but is by no means so distinct and explicite as Paulus, but indistinct as Galen, & more inaccurate in as far as he makes no mention at all of the [INSERT GREEK WORD] or Pulsation. Thus Paulus may be properly enough said to have first established the division of the 2 sorts of Aneurism, with their signs or symptoms; his account & AEitius’s are very different; neither can it be with any propriety said that he literally transcribes Galen, who only brings a passage from him, in order to correct & amend & add to it
With all this our Reveditor2 seems very clear & positive as to the ages of Aetius and Paulus3; he takes them from Friend4 & might modestly have said so, but he takes them as Friend gives them, and that is positively enough sicut illius est mos & yet perhaps the times & ages of those old folks are hardly yet assertained.
And now as to his criterion; your answer to his annular fibres is jocular & confounding; But as for the bag or as he calls it sac, I apprehend the surest way of knowing whether it be ruptured or only dilated is to look at it, & examine it, & that as you have said it, cannot be better done than by a careful dissection of that part and this same careful dissection, & after all his impertinent waggery, the stuffing & drying the bag, seem to be a pretty tolerable way of getting at this same great criterion, which he is so sorry you should have omitted, for to know if a bag is burst or only stretched, is it not one of the best ways to take it up & look at it; this you have done & advise him so
to do.5
The Paragraph which begins ‘The Doctor divides the Aneurysm into 3 species etc. is full of solemn nonsense: the disease cannot exist? What may not an artery be partly ruptured partly dilated? Surely it may; what English or sense is this the tumor confined with in the artery? it is a true Aneurysm by your own definition; what does the B—kh—d mean? Your definition of a true Aneurysm is it not, that by dilatation? how comes then an Aneurysm that is partly by rupture, & partly by dilatation to be by your definition a true Aneurysm6? Has there ever any thing so futil as his question, would not compression hazard mortification7? Is it tobe supposed that the man who could write so had ever read your Remarks 18:19 & 20.
In the Paragraph ‘we are not a little surprised’ I am at a loss what this Doughty Critic be at: Remark the second ? Where is the great contempt with which you treat Dr. Monro, & Friend?8 I cannot find it: as for Numb 18 I suppose he means No 23. and indeed for his reader of tolerable Erudition, if he reads his authors as the Reviewer reads his Galen, Aetius, Paulus etc: he may indeed make strange discoveries, that Hunter with all his parade is no original, & that his remarks are but poor shreds from the Medical Essays, & Dr. Friends history of Physick: To this I think I could say something like what Boileau’s Esprit says to the mauvais Critiques the Reviewers of his time; the objection was that Boileau n’etait qu’un Gueux revé tu des depouilles d’Horace et de Juvenal: his Esprit answers:
Quíl etoit vray que Jadis Juvenal avoit dit en Latin
Qu’on est assis à l’aise aux sermons de Cotin.
NB. I am not clear as to the meaning of the word [INSERT GREEK WORD] [anastomosis] in Galen & his copyers but this may be sometime the subject of a confabulation between you & your friend in Golden Square [John Clephane].

Charissime Charissimeq Dñe
Civitelle 5 Aprilis 1771
Me tedet adversae fortunei que nos etsi invitos separat locum minime concedens ut dulci tuo colloquio, horulae ad minimum spatio ipse frui, quamquam totis visceribus obtans possim. Modo enim per litteram tuam hac mane receptam scio, te reducem ex Anglia in hac nostra Insula; sed eadem littera significas quam primum flaverit ventus secundus te ex hoc nostra Insula fore profeaturum.
Desideras proinde ut eadem die supplementum historiae morbi illius particularis quem una simul observavimus ad te remittam; sed temporis angustia una cum pleuriticorum numero qui me totum his diebus occupant efficiunt, ut non qua vellem distinctione, sanis satisfaciam desideriis tuis Qva possim igitur brevitate dico: â die 4a Januaris 1769 usque in presentem diem 5am Aprilis 1771, plusquam 150 venescotiones in pede tollerasse egram, ob subitaneas admissiones illas usus loquele, et deglutitionis, nullis cedeites remediis nisi venesectioni quatuor unciarum sanguinis circiter; cucurbitulis, balneis pedum, sinapis ( ) nec vecicatoriis domabiles.
De 22a Martii proxime elapsi circa 3am pomeridia nam loquelam cum facultate deglutiendi amisit egra eamque sine venisectione haberivolui usque ad decimam antemeridianam diei sequentis, sed, cum vires deficerent, nec alia via promitterentur inducie, hoc remedio in fine tentato, et loquele usum, et facultatem deglutiendi recuperavit. Sed ab illa usque in presentem diem, geminari necessum fuit venesectiones. Circa finem mensis Fabruarii huius anni 1770 de dolore in lumbis pertotum abdomen se extendente con querebatur, qui sponte euanuit excretis per alvum non nullis cilindris membranaceis, colore, et concistentia, bomlices jam memorabos equantes. Victus ratio eadem est que in alia historie parte significatur.
Cecitas perseverat in oculo sinistro, nullo vitio externo se manifestans. Cathamenia singulis mensibus fluunt, sed maxime albicantia. Pulsus naturalis; atque alvus nec calore, nec concistentia â naturali recedit, ac quantitati assútorum respondet; similiter Urina. Color faciei, atque torositas corporis sanitatem referunt, si levem excipias faciei pallorem, levemque fibrarum laxitatem. Cedere tamen, vel lectulo continuo jacere debet egra, cum citum perpendicularem non nisi modicum sustinere possit.
Unum dicam procoronide admiratione dignum miras illas convulsiones que tetanum intermittentem referebant, nunc simulare cathalepsin, media enim inter colloquia, immobilia fuint subito omnia membra, eam figuram retinentia quam tempore accessus trahebant; tensa atque rigida efficiuntur; ac cum Egra vel adstantes ea mutare nittuntur, animo deficit prae dolore misera; sensus omnes amittit; sed cum ad se revertit, una cum sensibus, flexibilitatem, motumque artuum recuperat Quandoque singulis, quandoque alternis; nonnumquam singulis tertiis, aut quartis diebus hec invadit cathalepsis species, adeo rara, ut immobilia maneant membra dum egra perfecte sensibilis, loquela, atque deglutitione integris remanentibus, nee unquam mutatur artuum citus quin Egra prius animo deficiat, usumq sensuum prius amittat.
Hec sunt Amice Suavissime que candide refero, post quam cedulo observaverim; talia que ab cilio tradita vix credere possem, nisi ocularis testis, fateor; sed utinam quo candore, ea possem methodo, et distinctione scribere ea tamen qua polles humanitate excusatum habebis confide

Traducción - inglés 46. From John Clephane, 11 July 1757
Galen, On Tumours, speaking of various tumours as ecchymoses, black and livid tumours in old people, etc: “Such tumours,” he adds, “(form) because they have blood which has flowed out of the veins or, it may be, from a tear in the veins, or from an enlargement of the veins near their ends. But if an artery has been enlarged, the malady is what is called an aneurysm. It happens in the case of the same malady that, if the artery has been wounded, if the extra skin above is scarred by a wound beneath the artery itself and that wound remains opens, i.e., if it has not been sealed again and a scar has not formed and it has not been blocked off from the surrounding flesh… These maladies are diagnosed by the movement of the arterial pulse, which is, moreover, a sign that the whole tumour is bursting due to compression, with the matter which caused the tumour naturally rushing back into the arteries; for as to what sort of matter this really is, we have no doubt demonstrated elsewhere that it is a certain thin and yellow blood, mingled with much thin air. For this reason, this blood (in arteries) is warmer than the blood in veins and spurts out with violence if the aneurysm is wounded.” It is true, hence, that Galen mentions these two sorts of aneurysms, i.e., by dilatation and by disruption of the coats, but then it is as clear that he by no means constitutes two distinct classes, with their distinct effects, symptoms, or signs for practice; for he supplies the “These maladies are diagnosed, etc.” indiscriminately and it is as evident Paulus understood him so by, “Thus Galen. But we correctly distinguish these aneurysms from one another” and then goes on to give the signs by which the aneurysma [INSERT GREEK WORD] / per dilationem [‘aneurysm due to enlargement’] is to be distinguished, and those by which the aneurysma [INSERT GREEK WORD] is to be known and distinguished.1 Aëtius, who copies Galen, mentions likewise the two sorts of aneurysm, and among the Notae Aneurismatis says that the tumour in aneurysms “by rupture” is not so soft as in those “which occur without a wound”, but is by no means so distinct and explicit as Paulus, but indistinct as Galen, and more inaccurate in as far as he makes no mention at all of the [INSERT GREEK WORD] or pulsation. Thus Paulus may be properly enough said to have first established the division of the two sorts of aneurysm, with their signs or symptoms; his account and Aëtius’ are very different; neither can it be with any propriety said that he literally transcribes Galen, who only brings a passage from him, in order to correct and amend and add to it.

And now as to his criterion: Your answer to his annular fibres is jocular and confounding, but as for the bag or, as he calls it, sac, I apprehend the surest way of knowing whether it be ruptured or only dilated is to look at it and examine it, and that as you have said, it cannot be better done than by a careful dissection of that part and this same careful dissection, and after all his impertinent waggery, the stuffing and drying the bag seem to be a pretty tolerable way of getting at this same great criterion, which he is so sorry you should have omitted; for to know if a bag is burst or only stretched, is it not one of the best ways to take it up and look at it?

Golden Square, Monday, 1 July 1757
239. From J. Mich. Oleosi,1 5 April 1771
Dearest, Dearest Master,
Civitelle, 5 April 1771
I’m piqued at the ill fortune which separates us against our will, granting me very little time, a tiny fraction of an hour, to enjoy your sweet conversation, though would that I could by putting off my friends and family. For only now, through your letter which I received this morning, do I know that you are being brought back from England, from this island of ours; but in the same letter you indicate that, as soon as a favourable wind blows, you shall be going forth from this island of ours.
So then, you request that on the same day I remit to you a supplement to the history of that particular illness which we observed together. But want of time, along with the number of pleurisy patients who have been occupying me totally these days, bring it about that I may not be satisfying your reasonable request in the way that I should like. Therefore I will relate it with what brevity I can: From 4 January 1789 up until the present day in April 1771, the female patient has tolerated more than 150 venisections and sealings of her feet, (I) making use of the instructions for those sudden incisions, with none of the accredited treatments except for a venisection of about four ounces of blood, cupping glasses, foot baths, mustard [lacuna] nor controllable by [†vecicatoriis†].
[†From about 3 a.m. on the 22nd of last March, for during the afternoons the patient lost her speech with the great number of sealings and I wanted her to be kept without venisection until 10 o’clock in the morning on the following day, but, since her strength was failing, and by no other means would pauses be prolonged, I finally tried this remedy, and she both used her voice and recovered the ability to clot.†] But from that until the present day, it has been necessary for the venisections to be doubled. About the end of the month of February of this year 1770, she complained about pain in her loins extending throughout her whole abdomen, which disappeared of its own accord after she had excreted several membranaceous cylindrical (faeces) through the bowels, in colour and consistency resembling the [silkworms] just mentioned.
The blindness in her left eye persists, manifesting itself with no external symptom. Her menstrual discharges are regular, but of an especially whitish colour. Her pulse is normal, and her belly also has shrunk, which is not consistent with her fever but not unnatural, and corresponds to the number of [sutures]; likewise with her urine. The colour of her face and the muscle tone of her body indicate health, if you except a slight pallor in her face and a slight looseness of the fibres. Nevertheless, the patient ought to rest, even lie continually in bed, since she cannot sustain more than a moderate vertical position.
One thing I will mention in fine which is worthy of astonishment, viz., those remarkable convulsions which indicated intermittent tetanus now simulate cathelepsis; for in the midst of our conversations, all her limbs would suddenly become immobile, retaining the position which they held at the time of onset. They were rendered taut and rigid, and when the patient struggled to move them, even with the assistance of those standing by, the wretched woman fainted due to the pain. She lost all her senses, but when she came to herself, she recovered the flexibility and movement of her joints together with her senses. Sometimes on a single day, sometimes on alternate days—not infrequently on every third or fourth day—this form of cathelepsis was so scattered that her limbs remained immobile nor did the [position] of her joints ever change save if the patient had first fainted and first lost the use of her voice.
These are the matters, sweetest friend, which I truthfully relate, after sedulously observing them, such as I confess that I could scarcely believe to have been [betrayed by a glance], if I had not been an eyewitness. [†But however I wish that with what truth I were able to write these things methodically and clearly, I am nevertheless confident that your humanity will prevail and you will have excused them†].
Your true and most devoted friend,
J. Mich. Oleosi.

Gauthier van Doeveren sends greetings to William Hunter, the Most Distinguished and Learned Gentleman.
Perhaps not utterly unknown to you by name, in some fashion at least on account of various kinds of studies in many disciplines, I, a noted patchwork of an admirer, offer you, Most Distinguished Sir, this token of esteem due you in view of your merits in promoting the art of healing, and the outstanding gentleman F. Dejean, a most ardent student of natural science and a practitioner of the medical art, and most worthy of your friendship and goodwill, whom, being most deserving, (as I surely know) no one will ever have cause to regret having done kindnesses or provided with useful advice, will convey to you these little works of mine, both of my academic lectures, delivered rather recently at Groningen and the Academy of Leiden. [Since], therefore, he is about to set forth for London in order to augment the science and knowledge collected here and elsewhere with the accumulated discoveries of the English and the productions of genius, I could not but introduce him to you and recommend him concerning his character. But if perhaps you should judge that I have dealt with you more freely than it were fitting, I would have you know that nothing would be more pleasant for me than if, presented with whatsoever occasion, I should be able [to furnish] you in return [with] specimens of a mind well-equipped for its duties. Goodbye, Most Renowned Sir, and love me!

380. Amadaeus Emanuel Haller, son of Albert, a Ducentumvir among the People of Bern, to the Illustrious, Most Famous, and Most Excellent Gentleman William Hunter, the finest physician [in the judgement of learned Germans].
What sad and bitter event has happened to me, to his widowed spouse, to his children mourning the best of fathers, at the urging of the entire family of the deceased, I judge must be communicated to you most dutifully, this which a consideration of my office also demands, since you have counted him in the number of your friends and honoured him with no ordinary goodwill, and you too would commiserate with our grief: Your very Haller, who cultivated you among his foremost (friends), already afflicted for several months with many great illnesses, crushed by [†marasmo†] amid ceaseless toils, now lies dead at the age of seventy. He gave up the ghost with piety and calm and went to sleep in the Lord at 7 p.m. on 13 December. But do you, Most Noble Gentleman, whom safe and surviving and prosperous he instructs to concern yourself for a very long time in human affairs, favour us and the memory of the blessed man.

385. From Johann Gottlieb Walter, 11 April 1778
Illustrious Gentleman and Patron, to be Honoured with pious thought,
[Alas], it has been my intention for twenty years now to make your acquaintance and to recommend myself to your favour. Among those twists of fate which I have experienced, sometimes bitter, sometimes joyous, the hope that I should be permitted to come to London has laughed at me, because the malice of my enemies, of which I have in truth endured much, has protracted that sweet consolation from year to year. Now as I embark upon my forty-fourth year and take upon myself the most serious labours, it is scarcely permitted me to hope, Illustrious Sir, that I should ever admire and even look at your splendid medical work (now) made ready (for publication). Nevertheless, in the meantime I do not wholly despair; perhaps that will happen in a moment which is not hoped for in a year.
I would that you receive the letter that I am sending you with the wonted favour which is innate to you and my endeavours with that judicious candor to which you are accustomed. Your response, very gratifying to me, I would regard with all piety and reverence as a most certain indication of your benevolence towards me.
If these experiments of mine should not be displeasing to you, I shall share other and much more difficult neurological work with you in which I am at present engaged. May God bring it about that turbulent times become serene and grant me the leisure by which I may the more easily see to the overcoming of this difficult labour. Nothing more remains to me but that I should wish myself to be most commendable to you. Please greet your brother with my words, whose merits I deem as equally worthy of veneration as your own.
Live long and prosperously and may you persuade yourself that I shall be the most zealous in the crowd of your admirers.
Walter, at Berlin, 1 April 1778.
391. From Vicq D’Azyr1, 8 August 1778
Most Honoured Gentleman,
The document of co-optation which today the Royal Medical Society of Paris is offering you I send to you the more willingly, because you will doubtless grant us your most pleasant and most useful correspondence, and whatever the association would want is to me most agreeable and especially profitable. Already the diplomas of a great many universities decorate your illustrious name. But to be enrolled in a truly medical university by one’s peers is to receive proof of the highest esteem; we believed it not unworthy of your renown. And I in particular rejoice most vivaciously, because that place which the Most Christian King of the French has granted me in our society will furnish me with tokens of my wholly constant regard for you and multiply those occasions on which I may always say
Honourable Gentleman, (I am) your most obedient servant and admirer,
Vicq D’Azyr,
Permanent Secretary of the Royal Society of Paris, 8 August 1778.
394. To Vicq d’Azyr, Secretary of the Royal Medical Society of Paris, Paris, 6 October 1778 (draft)
William Hunter sends greeting to the Living [sic], Distinguished Vicq d’Azyr.
I have received your letter, Learned Sir, “full” of goodwill towards me “with a grateful hand”, in which it has been announced to me that our name has been enrolled in the new College of Physicians at Paris. While in this honour I see clearly how unworthy I shall have been, I dare say this at least about myself, that no man more fervently or more breathlessly prays for whatever is fortunate and favourable than for an institution so liberal and truly royal, and which, forsooth, pertains not to this or that nation, but embraces the whole human race. And I would wish to convert that which is a very great honour to me into some profit and utility in regard to others, and to transfer our contribution even upon the public. But this is the plan of our busy life that, beyond the duty of a grateful disposition, I dare to promise [nothing dutiful whatever]. But do you, in accordance with your civility, salute the Most Distinguished President and Fellows in my name, whom I shall always honour with the deepest reverence and regard and who hold me bound to them with all zeal, and fare you well.

For while all comes into being acording to this speech, they are like the unproven proving both words and deeds such as these I myself set forth, breaking down each according to its kind and showing how it holds together. But all they do awake escapes other men, even as they forget all they do sleeping.
[2] [Wherefore one must keep following the common, for the common means shared.] And while the speech is shared, the many live as if each has his own thought.
[17] For many do not feel such tings as they encounter, nor yet, while they have learned them, do they understand them, but guess to themselves.
[18] Unless one will keep watching for that which cannot be watched for, one will not find it out, for it is pathless and cannot be sought out.
[19] Not knowing how to listen, nor yet how to speak.
[22] Those who look for gold delve through much earth and find little.
[34] Since mindless have they heard it, they are like the deaf. A byword bears them witness--off in a world of one's own.
[35] [According to Heraclitus, men who love wisdom must be judges of right well many things.]
[40] Wide learning does not teach wisdom; for it would have tuaght Hesiod and Pythagoras, and in turn Xenophanes and Hecataeus.
[42] [He would say that Homer was fit to be thrown out of the lists and cudgelled, and Archilochus in like wise.]
[47] Let us not keep throwing our thoughts together at random about the weightiest things.
[55] The seeing, the hearing, the learning of so many things, these I myself deem of greater worth.
[56] Men have thoroughly misled themselves as to their knowledge of what is plain nearly as Homer, who was born wiser than all the Greeks; for him too did boys killing lice mislead by saying, "As many as we saw and caught, these we lose, yet as many as we neither saw nor caught, these we carry off."
[57] The teacheer of most is Hesiod; him they trust to know most, whoso did not perceive day and evening, for it is one.
[71-73] [Ever bear in mind the Heraclitean tag . . . And bear in mind, too,] "him who forgets where the road leads", and that "they are at odds with that (the speech that keeps house for the whole) "with which they foregather oftenest of all", and "those things look outlandish to them which they encounter every day", and that "one ought not to speak and behave like those who lie sleeping."
[74] One must not behave and speak as children of one's father and mother.
[89] [Heraclitus says that for those awake the world is one and common, but that each of those falling asleep is turning away into his own world.]
[101a] For eyes are witnesses more careful than the ears.
[106] [Heraclitus chid Hesiod for making some of his (days) good, others bad, as missing the truth that the kind of day is one.]
[107] Eyes and ears are bad witnesses for men with outlandish souls.
[123] Nature loves to lie hidden.

Traducción - inglés Warn yourself at the crack of dawn: I’ll be running into a busybody, an ingrate, an insolent, a traitor, a slanderer, a self-seeker. All these attributes are theirs due to ignorance of what is good and bad. But I, having witnessed the nature of good, that it is beautiful, and of bad, that it is ugly, and the nature of the delinquent himself, that it is akin to my own, since he has a share, not indeed of the same blood or seed, but of mind and divinity, cannot be perverted by any of them, (for none will involve me in an ugly act), nor can I get angry with my kinsman, nor be made to quarrel with him. For we were born to work together, like the feet, like the hands, like the eyes, like the upper and lower rows of the teeth. Consequently, to counteract one another is against Nature, and to show one’s displeasure and to turn one’s back is counteraction.

Calle Desconocida
Penumbra de la paloma
Llamaron los hebreos a la iniciación de la tarde
Cuando la sombra no entorpece los pasos
Y la venida de la noche se advierte
Como una música esperada,
No como símbolo de nuestra esencial nadería.
En esa hora de fina luz arenosa
Mis pasos dieron con una calle ignorada,
Abierta en noble anchura de terraza,
Mostrando en las cornisas y en las paredes
Colores blandos como el mismo cielo
Que commovía el fondo.
Todo—honesta medianía de las casas austeras,
Travesura de columnitas y aldabas,
Tal vez una esperanza de niña en los balcones—
Se me adentró en el vano corazón
Con limpidez de lágrima.
Quizá esa hora única
Aventajaba con prestigio la calle,
Dándole privilegios de ternura,
Haciéndola real como una leyenda o un verso;
Lo cierto es que la sentí lejanamente cercana
Como recuerdo que si llega cansado
Es porque viene de la hondura del alma.
Intimo y entrañable
Era el milagro de la calle clara
Y sólo después
Entendí que aquel lugar era extraño,
Que toda casa es candelabro
Donde arden con aislada llama las vidas,
Que todo inmeditado paso nuestro
Camina sobre Gólgotas ajenos.
Traducción - inglés Jorge Luis Borges
Unknown Street
Half-light of the dove
the Hebrews called the beginning of evening,
when the darkness doesn’t block one’s steps
and the coming of night is pointed out
like an awaited song,
not like a token of our essential nothingness.
In that hour of thin, sandy light
my steps strike against a street unknown,
opened upon a noble stretch of terrace,
showing on cornices and walls
hues soft as the very sky
that stirred the background.
Everything—the chaste mediocrity of the stark houses,
the antics of little columns and door-knockers,
maybe a girl’s hope on the window sills—
went into my hollow heart
with the cleanliness of a tear.
Perhaps that unique hour
winnowed the street with illusion,
giving it the prerogatives of love,
making it real like a tale or a verse;
what’s certain is that I felt it distantly nigh,
as if when a memory arrives, weary
because it comes from the soul’s depth.
Intimate and close
was this miracle of the clear street
and only afterwards
did I perceive that this place was strange,
that every house is a candelabra
where lives blaze with a detached flame,
that every one of our unthought steps
strolls over others’ Golgothas.

Traducción - inglés These matters, hitherto nowhere published, though very useful, indeed necessary, for the human race, Michael Florentius van Langren, Royal Mathematician and Cosmologist, sets forth for the World.
In the year 1628, I had undertaken to describe the orb of the moon--the planet most familiar to the world, and likewise the most unknown—with immense study and labour, and to present this to the Most Serene Princess of the Belgians, Isabella Clara Eugenia, the Enfant of Spain. She, in behalf of her own incredible affection for these arts, wanted me contemplating the Moon, or indeed rather wished me to be by her side, and together look at the planet’s secrets. Since, therefore, she had considered how important these matters were, she sent me to Spain with letters that she had written, that I might offer these observations to the most Powerful King, Philip IV, and give to the light in her name what has securely opened the way for the Astronomer regarding the longitudes and distances between places, as well as the huge and gross errors in Geography which ought to be corrected, and so that it might also be of some use to navigation by sea.
These things so pleased the Great King that he ordered me to be called to him more often in order that he himself might be able to observe the Sky and Moon with a telescope; nay, he has even permitted this description, this Selenography or Lunar Geography, to be titled ‘Philip’s Stars of Austria’, and under the auspices of his own name to come to the notice of mankind. It also pleased him that the names of famous men, which would lend distinction, be placed upon the luminous and resplendent Mountains and Islands of the Lunar Globe, which in future were to be allowed to be used in Astronomical, Geographical, and even in Hydrographical corrections, and in letters sent in response to the Serene Princess Isabella intimated that the necessary costs would be met. But when the Most August Heroine, whose goodness, piety, justice, and mercy are known to the world, had returned from earth to heaven in the year 1634 to behold such great wonders at first hand, I know not by what unjust precedence, when I was returning from Spain, this beginning of mine was interrupted, and got stuck, destitute of her favour; so that there was a danger lest, to the extent that it now was being divulged more and more, someone else should seize it and make it public under his own name. At length, after the Most Excellent Lord Emmanuel de Moura y Cortereal Marchio de Castel Rodrigo, and the Governor, etc. of the provinces of Belgium and Burgundy, a learned consultant of the Sacred Treasury, foresaw the novelty and utility of this thing and that from it would arise an eternal glory for the King, in this wise he permitted this Selenography to be published. Stirred up therefore by this decree, (and may it be for the public good), we proclaim this first Full Moon ‘Philippic’, made illustrious by the names of the King and Princes who hold sway in Europe today, and who are the patrons, foster-fathers, and Maecenases of the Sciences and Mathematics; there are also some of the old and more recent ages, who excel in this discipline and have won praise and fame for the outstanding monuments of their genius; wherefore we publish this book in their honour. We lament that we have not hitherto been able to discover (what we nevertheless hope may come to pass) the names and achievements of the others in these arts who have been elsewhere noteworthy, so that we may inscribe our shining Globe with their like. Moreover, with thirty [observations of] phases of the waxing and waning Moon now ready, they will soon provide the means to us of distinguishing each particular of the Moon, as the islands and mountaintops quite often torn off from the land as they appear at the moment in time when the Moon waxes, and when she wanes suddenly disappear, which is the chief and almost daily aid in ascertaining the longitude. We shall add as well among a great many other new, astonishing, and very useful things a long and brilliant series of Eclipses, which in accordance with our quite simple and accurate practice we have observed now zealously for many years, with the earth’s shadow, to be sure, hiding these Lunar particulars again and again, which is another but exceptional aid to ascertaining the longitude. Whence let me not call that impossible which, as much among the Ancients as among the Moderns, is the observation, that from the beginning, middle, end, and degrees of the Ecliptic there has been alteration, which was no doubt the cause for so much of the remainder of errors committed in Geography.
These are some of those things which in the year 1631, by order of the Most Serene Princess, we demonstrated to men the most learned, distinguished, and celebrated in this art and commissioned for this, E. Puteanus, G. Wendelinus, and in Spain, obeying the King’s order, I. della Faille and B. Petit, under whose own careful scrutiny, despite my reservations about even publishing it, it was made sufficiently clear. But let those students of these sciences know that I am giving the face of only one Full Moon, as an example of the variations which we may delineate from the Heavens; for it is always unstable, and the face of the Moon is changeable, due, of course, to the libratory motion of its own body, whereby the blemishes which are seen to rise in the East and the West, now in the South and North. This libration has for a long time been worked out by us as an hypothesis that this accurately represents [the earth’s] motion in relation with the physical globe of the Moon, and so with the distances between each of the islands, mountains, and regions elabourated, we shall bring it before the public, whence the longitudes and latitudes, even of the pole itself, the ecliptic, the beginning of the meridians, regions, and particulars of the areas of the Moon will become known. But lest any confusion should arise (as an obstacle) in the Astronomical and Geographical observations, if these denominations of the areas of the Moon are perchance changed by someone, we have shared the great boon of these tables for free with the whole world, on account of which we honour at present men well-deserving of these studies, and their defenders and Maecenases. For which reason, it is with the deepest humility of soul that we are going to consecrate this description of the Moon, to the Kings, Princes, and most celebrated Amateurs of these arts, and we ask that the good and just consult the present index of terms, and that they accept with what disposition we offer it. If anyone should wish to make use of my work as well, or to share a Solar Eclipse or any other Lunar phenomenon with me; I earnestly entreat him, that it not be a burden to send his letters to Brussels, and address them to the Most Illustrious Lord Lamaraldus, Count of Tassis: He especially has wanted to present me with an honour of this sort, as in behalf of his own, one by one, towards all the liberal arts worthy of a man who is a Prince, especially those not alien to a study of Methematics; even he shall not have refused his assistance to me. Brussels, the 5th (the Ides) of February, 1645.
By royal decree, alteration of this index of terms is prohibited, on pain of displeasure, and any copying of the originals, on pain of confiscation and [a fine of] three florins.
Given at Brussels, 3rd March 1645. At Ro[tterdam] as at Gottingen.
Theodoret, Sermon 4:
Concerning the Moon, the philosophers thought in this wise: Thales thought that it was made of earth; Anaxagoras and Democritus that it was the movement of the atoms which holds the plains, mountains, and valleys in place; Pythagoras, that it had a rocky body; Heraclides, that it was land surrounded by mist.
Plutarch, On the Face in the Orb of the Moon:
Just as our earth has large and deep bays, of which one flows in to us through the Pillars of Hercules, and the other is beyond the Caspian and Red Sea, so on the Moon there are caves, too, and deep ones, and of its caves they call the greatest Hecate’s Sanctuary.
Cicero, Academic Questions, Book 4:
Xenophanes says that the Moon is inhabited, and that it is a land of many cities and mountains.
Achilles Tatius, Isagoge:
Some believe that there is another region on the Moon suitable for habitation, with rivers and the rest of the things which are seen on Earth.
Pliny, Book 3:
The newest planet evinces the strangest admiration of all, though it is the one most familiar to Earth, and a remedy for eclipses discovered by Nature. This in its multiform orbit exercises the minds of those contemplating it, and especially is not to know the nearest star a matter for indignation among men.
Seneca, Natural Questions, Book 7:
There are many peoples today who know the Sky only superficially, who do not know why the Moon eclipses, why it is shadowed.
There shall come a time
in which he draws those things which now lie hidden into the light of day, and the attentiveness of a later age;
there shall come a time
in which our posterity will wonder that we did not know such obvious things.

Traducción - inglés Thus death is nothing to us, nor matters one whit,
since the nature of mind is held to be mortal;
and, just as in times past we felt nothing grievous
with the Punics coming to conflict from all sides
when everything, convulsed by war’s restless tumult,
quaked in terror beneath the sky’s exalted drafts
and doubted to which would fall the supremacy
over all mankind on both land and sea, just so,
when we shall not be, when the portions of body
and mind from which we were compounded will have been,
assuredly nothing at all can befall us,
who shall then not be, and elicit sensation,
not if earth be mingled with sea and sea with sky.
Further, even if the mind’s nature and the soul’s
properties feel after they’ve been torn asunder
from our body, it’s nonetheless nothing to us,
who by the bond and wedding of body and soul
consist, fitted together, of a single whole.
Nor, if time should gather our matter after death
and bring it back again as it is now arranged
and life’s luster be granted us a second time,
nonetheless it would not matter to us at all
that this also had happened, since our awareness
of ourselves was interrupted once and for all.

The Sun rose early,

"Why did he go away from the Sun,

1 This daina, one of the most popular, records a very ancient aetiological myth which accounts for the changing aspect of the moon. As opposed to Southern European tradition (e.g. the Greek and the Roman), the moon is represented as male and the sun as female, as in Germanic myth. The explanation commonly offered for this is that northern peoples looked upon the sun as a nourishing, fecundating presence, while its fiercer heat in the drier, southern regions conjured up more destructive attributes in men's minds (for instance, as bringer of drought).

While planting
he importuned her, O Kaleda:
"Grow, little apple-tree,
grow high above the manor, O Kaleda,
spread your boughs
broadly over the manor, O Kaleda.
Bloom with blossoms
of claret hue, O Kaleda.
Grow with apples
of ruddy hue, O Kaleda."
1 This daina originated in eastern Lithuania (the Highlands), as is evident from dialectal forms like sodzydamas (= sodindamas in standard Lithuanian). The apple and its tree here symbolise love and regeneration, as in much other Eastern European folklore. It seems to have been sung at the planting of an apple-tree during the winter solstice to ensure a good harvest of the fruit in the coming year, for Kalėda is Saulė, the Baltic sun-goddess, in her aspect after the winter solstice, when her waxing light and warmth begin to increase and thereby quicken the germination and growth of plants. In ethnic Lithuanian religion, Kalėdos is a celebration of the winter solstice, which signals the impending return of the growing season, but since the Christianisation of the nation in the late Middle Ages it has come commonly to mean ‘Christmas’, so that, in this daina, Kalėda is essentially merely a refrain.

Summary
In this article a particle will be presented through which all forces are explained in a satisfactory way. It concerns the so-called dimensional basic (db or ). After much reflection, Gerhard Jan Smit and Jelle Ebel van der Schoot are of the opinion that with this theory, the foundation of the observed particles and forces has been found.
The accompanying formula is: √(x^2+y^2+z^2 )×Kr=1 (0).
In the formula Kr = curvature [m-1], x,y,z are coordinates in space/time [m].
Implications:
The properties of dark matter can be described with the introduction of the dimensional basic, this introduction leads to new deductions in various fields of physics;
the observed cosmic redshift is a gravitational redshift;
the cosmic background is formed through the mutual interactions of the 1-db-particles;
neutron consists -notwithstanding the current insights- of a foursome of quarks (2 quarks up, 2 quarks down);
complex particles -rationalized from the basis- can be mathematically determined and simulated;
the entanglement of particles is caused by curvatures, changes that one of the “partner-particles” experiences will instantaneously be transmitted to experienced by the other “partner-particle(s)”;
electromagnetic fields around energized wires are being caused by aspirating 1-db particles. By winding of an energized wire in a coil the electromagnetic fields are being cumulated, this resulting in the fields as observed around an energized coil.
Introduction
It seems an impossibility to indicate the properties of a macroscopic object using quantum logic. The properties of microscopic elementary particles that are known at this time make this very difficult. Elementary particles have properties that cannot be defined, or only in a complex way. One significant problem is that the gravity at the level of the elementary particles will not be straight-jacketed into the Standard Model (Newton). If this happens, the “Theory of Everything” has been found; the theory which can merge the known forces of nature.
Now, for the first time, a particle will be presented in this article through which all forces are explained in a satisfactory way. It concerns the so-called dimensional basic (db or ). After much reflection, we are of the opinion that with this basic particle, the foundation of the observed particles and forces has been found.
In this article we start with an outline of the observed conflicts within quantum mechanics. After that, the theory will be described, the dimensional basic followed by the consequences for the photon, the electron, the quarks, the protons and neutrons, the more complex particles and the nature of electromagnetic fields. We will finish with a short expression of euphoria (Beauty in the order) and a justification.
Quote by Einstein:
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”
Outline of observed conflicts within quantum mechanics
In the macroscopic world, facts (position, speed, and time) are true facts. In the microscopic world, one cannot often say that these are true or untrue. This begs the question: how well do we understand the world at the atomic scale? For example, Werner Heisenberg claimed: “The subatomic world demonstrates again and again that we live in a psychedelic world that, to our common sense, is completely absurd.”
According to the current models, the world is made up of particles; this includes electrons, protons, and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are made up of constituent particles (quarks). Particles move under the influence of forces. Recognizable are short distance forces (strong and weak interactions) and long distance forces (electric and gravitational interactions).
The electric, weak and strong forces are dominant at the atomic and subatomic levels. There has been considerable progress in the search for a united theory of these forces. The description of all these particles and forces takes place within quantum mechanics.
Quantum mechanics is not just another physical theory; it is a framework for all physical theories. Quantum mechanics describes the nature of the particles and the forces that interfere with each other from the particles.
To date, no other theory besides quantum mechanics has the potential to ultimately reach the status of universal applicability. The mystery of quantum mechanics begins when you look more closely at the currently known foundation.
In order to study the smallest building blocks of matter, particle accelerators are used. In this method, elementary particles are artificially accelerated and brought into collision with other particles, creating new particles. Through observation of their tracks, whether or not deflected into a magnetic field (only electrically charged particles) and mutual collisions, the properties of the particles can be studied. Does this provide us with a good picture of the world, or is our picture a description of the results of these multiple experiments? Do the experiments supply a good fundamental description of the entity of the particles? Such a question is a source of unease among physicists.
Scientists would like an interpretation of quantum mechanics that corresponds with the experience in the macroscopic world and that is represented by classic mechanics. However, the classic world is in part not consistent with the world of quantum mechanics. This leads to essential questions. Can the universe be represented by quantum mechanics? It seems a reasonable expectation that the atoms in the universe would obey the laws of physics. Currently this doesn’t seem to be the case.
First of all, on the macro level there are observations of deviating speeds in galaxies. These speeds do not correspond with the directly observed matter and can only be explained by the presence of unknown mass called dark energy matter. From data of gravitational lenses there is strong evidence as to the presence of dark matter. These data suggest the presence of dark matter in clusters and around galaxies. Dark energy and dark matter plays a crucial role in the explanation of fluctuations in parts of the spectrum of cosmic background radiation. Although this matter has not actually and directly been observed, the indirect evidence is overwhelming.
Still, for many scientists it is hard to stomach the assumption of the presence of this unverifiable dark energy matter. Because of this, new theories are constantly emerging. Many of these theories are a typical result of scientists coming to a standstill because they cannot reconcile these observations on a macro level with the lack of real and direct evidence. The mathematical bag of tricks is turned upside down, and extremely complex claims are used to depict reality. Upon closer examination, one realizes that these do not remove the friction.
On a micro level too, the questions are fundamental. For example, within quantum mechanics there is the unexplained phenomenon of entanglement. Two particles that simultaneously come into being – but are situated at a great distance from each other – each turn out to possess properties that correspond with each other. This would bring to mind a common cause in the classic sense. However, if the situation changes for one of the particles (e.g. the spin), then the situation will simultaneously change for the other particle. It seems as if from a distance, an instantaneous transmission of information takes place. So this correlation between the two particles ostensibly goes beyond what is considered possible in classic physics. The fact that a particle does not choose a specific state until its observation (measuring) brought Einstein to remark: “God does not play dice.” It is clear that Einstein meant that there must be an underlying, understandable reason for the presumed transmission of information. However, to this day, a satisfactory explanation for this phenomenon has not been found.
There are also questions in which micro level and macro level both play a role. First of all, there is the attraction of a photon by a gravitational field. A photon is deflected in its track by a heavy mass in space (Figure 1). Why does the photon obey to Einstein’s ideas of curved space/time? Traditionally the photon is considered to be massless, the reason why the underlying mechanism has not yet been fully understood. Then there is the gravitational redshift that a photon (in space) undergoes when close to an object with an enormous curvature (black hole). In fact, on the event horizon of a black hole, the redshift becomes extreme (infinite). Although both of these phenomena have been universally accepted and observed, there is no full comprehension. Why does the photon undergo such a deflection and what is the mechanism of the gravitational redshift?
Fig. 1 (Deflection photon close to an object with a heavy mass)1
These and other matters lead physicists to constantly re-evaluate the interpretation of quantum physics. Their mutual goal is always to find a reformulation of the existing framework.
In this article, we propose a theory that, in fact, forms the foundation for the understanding of nuclear forces both on the micro as well as the macro scale. For the observed phenomenon’s, we offer an unconventional explanation. Will the previously mentioned pressing questions be answered? We believe so.
In this article, we will make a number of assumptions that will fit the model we propose.
Dimensional Basic
The basis of the theory is: The most elementary particle in existence is the dimensional basic. This particle has only one property: An infinite curvature in the center. The particle itself has no dimensions (no length, no width, no heights). The particle is found everywhere in the universe. The particle is always moving through space/time. Through agglomeration, or rather joint interaction, the particles form phenomena that at a certain moment rise above the observational limit. The db itself exists below the observational limit and so it can never be demonstrated. The 1db-particle is depicted in Figure 2. Curvature has been plotted here against space/time.
The accompanying formula is: √(x^2+y^2+z^2 )×Kr=1 (0).
In the formula Kr = curvature [m-1], x,y,z are coordinates in space/time [m].
The curvature of space on the location of the 1-db is infinite, while time stands still on the location of the 1-db. The 1-db behaves like a black hole without dimensions. Formula (0) describes the relatively reduced extent of curvature of space/time surrounding the 1-db. The curvature of space will reduce and time is running faster as the distance to the 1-db enlarges.
The distance between the 1-db’s varies by movements relative to each other. The directions of movements is are being influenced by one another according to the gravitationalmathematic laws. The movement paths are optically influenced for the outside observer by the curvatures of space/time caused by the db’s themselves. This means that times slows down while relative space around a 1-db becomes smaller when the db’s are approaching each other. Time speeds up and relative space around a 1-db becomes larger when the db’s go from one another.
The db is set apart from other particles in the sense that other particles are composed of multiple db’s while the db itself is a singular particle. Also singular in respect to singularity. Each db is a singularity on itself, other particles than the db are a combination of multiple singularities.
Observed forces (weak, strong, electric) have the same origin. These forces find there cause in the character of a singular db. The observed forces are in fact a very complex sum of circling movements that will come to exist when multiple db’s get into an interaction with each other.
Formula (0) was correctly applied in the static model simulations4 we used for the illustrations and time deformation has been applied in the dynamical model that was developed which could not be shown in the article. Output of the dynamical model can be seen on the website www.db-universe.org .
Illustration 0: The deformation of space under influence of a dimensional basic.
0.1 Uncurved (flat) cube of space/time 0.2 Cube of space time curved by the presence of a
dimensional basic in the centre
For this article we use a simplification of formula (0): Kr = abs 1/x (1).
In the formula Kr = curvature [m-1], x = space/time [m].
Fig. 2 (Schematic depiction 1db)3
When two 1-db-particles enter into the direct sphere of influence of each other’s curvature, a strong interaction will be formed between the two. This is comparable to a star-planet combination such as the sun and the earth (Illustration 1.1). The difference is that the 1-db-particles are without a dimension and with an infinite curvature in the center (Illustration 1.2). This indicates that time (for the outside observer) infinitely slows down when the particles approach each other. So the combination of the 2db’s has an enormous life span. The interaction between the two 1-db’s is depicted in Figure 3. The analogy of the curvatures around black holes is striking.
Illustration. 1.1. Earth in curvature field of sun2 Illustration 1.2. Depiction of curvatures 2db-particle2
Fig. 3 (Schematic depiction 2db-particle)3
The curvature of the combined particles is found using the formula (2). The curvature in the center between the particles is found when x=0.
kr= abs1/(x+(1λ )/2) + abs1/(x-(1λ )/2) (2).
In the formula Kr = curvature [m-1], λ = distance between both particles/wavelength [m].
The resulting established surface between both asymptotes has a surface of
2*∫_0,5λ^λ▒〖ln(x)〗. This is equal to 2 ln2 (constant). The total surface (this is the surface in which the results on the left and right side of the graphic have been incorporated) has the value of 2ln(2) + 2*∫_λ^∞▒〖1/x dx〗.
The photon
The hypothesis is that the 2-db-particle is a photon. A depiction of curvatures that the observer can detect is shown in Illustration 2. The wavelength of the photon is equal to the distance λ between both particles. The schematic depiction of a photon is shown in Figure 4.
Illustration 2: Impression curvatures of a 2db-particle (photon)3
2.1 Photon (greyscale) 2.2 Photon (blue is high 2.3 Photon (each db it’s
curvature, red is low own color)
curvature)
In a photon in the red spectrum (620 nm) the kr620nm (when x=0) has a value of 6.45x106 m-1. For a gamma-photon (0.001 nm) the kr0,001nm (when x=0) has a value of 4.0x1012 m-1. The surface is equal for each photon 2ln(2) + 2*∫_λ^∞▒〖1/x dx〗. This indicates that the enthalpy will be equal for all photons. However, the entropy of a photon does increase as its wavelength increases. This becomes clear through a reduction of the curvature at a larger wavelength.
Figure 4. (Schematic depiction photon)3
It is clear that a moving 2-db-particle – under the influence of a nearby object with an extreme curvature – will have a deflected track. This is in fact what is observed (see Figure 1).
Let’s look at another phenomenon. If a photon on its track is influenced by curvatures caused by other particles, the photon will be brought “out of balance.” out of balance, i.e. the enlargement of the radius of its internal circular movement. Under the influence of extreme curvatures, the photon will undergo a wavelength shift. We call this “the aging of the photon.” Because both db-particles experience an enormous curvature via each another within the photon, this is an extremely slow process for the observer. But during a trip through space/time lasting many light-years (e.g. 10 billion light-years) the effect can be seen by the observer.
The redshift at a certain moment in time is given through the following formula (3):
λ_(observer )= λ_standard+Constant×S (3)
In the formula λobserver is the wavelength of the photon [nm] at the position of the observer, sStandard is the wavelength of the photon [nm] on it’s place of birth, the Constant is a space-constant that is due to the fluctuating curvatures that the photon will meet on it’s way through space/time, S is the traveling distance of the photon in space/time between the place of birth at the position of the observer [m].
Because the photon will go on a long journey through various curvature fields, the connection is of course not quite as linear as is suggested here. Below you will find a figure Figure 5 shows in which a photons that have has a tracks through different curvature fields (Fig. 5). Note that the photon 1 on t10 has a different position in space/time than photon 2 on t10. To the outside observer, photon 1 seems to move faster.
Fig. 5 (Photon in a track through different curvature fields)3
Under the influence of extreme curvatures in space, the “aging” of a photon can accelerate greatly. This is observable near black holes (see Illustration 3). The closer the track of a photon to a black hole, the greater the aging. In fact, close to an event horizon (Schwartschild scale) of a black hole, the aging (gravitational redshift) is infinite.
Illustration 3: Curvatures of photon under the influence of externally large curvature.3
To date, the observed cosmic redshift in the universe has been explained mostly through the hypothetical expansion of the universe. The redshift is explained as a Doppler effect. We are of the opinion that cosmic redshift is the result of the aging of the photon. This effect takes place when photons have traveled extreme distances (e.g. 10 billion light years) in space/time. As mentioned before, the aging of the photons is caused by the proximity of curvatures which the photon encounters in transit. As previously stated, these curvatures are present everywhere in the universe as db’s. The observed redshift is in fact a gravitational redshift. A direct conclusion could be that there is no such thing as an expansion of the universe. The observations of a seemingly accelerated expanding universe are being explained by the 'aging of the photon' and thus we have doubts concerning the hypothesis of dark energy being responsible for the expanding of the universe at an accelerating rate.
It is important to note that the large amounts of db’s are responsible for the observed presence of dark energy and dark matter. The db’s are in fact the sought after dark energy matter. This can explain the deviating speeds of galaxies without anyone having to dust off the mathematical bag of tricks. The movements in space can be explained in a Newtonian way.
The by Einstein suggested cosmological constant in the theory of relativity is in fact a resumptive description of the presence of dimensional basics. Einstein later on rejected his own suggestion on the basis of “Hubbles Law”. We are of the opinion that his suggestion indeed was right.
The so-called dark energy dimensional basic plays a crucial role in the explanation of fluctuations in the spectrum of cosmic background radiation. The matter responsible has never before been observed. We believe that some types of the cosmic background is are formed through the mutual interaction of the 1db-particles. This sometimes causes photons of completely different wavelengths to be formed, which together partly cause the pattern of cosmic background radiation.
Electrons
Observations have shown that a positron and an electron are annihilated, which causes two gamma-photons to be released. This is depicted in the Feynman diagram below (Figure 6).
Fig. 6 (Feynman diagram annihilation positron and electron)3
The Feynman diagram can also be read in reverse. Two gamma-photons together form a positron and an electron. Each of the photons is made up of two db-particles with only a rotation around the y-axis (see Figure 4). The electron is a 2db-particle with an extra spin (towards the photon) around the x-axis (clockwise). The positron is also a 2db-particle with an extra spin around the x-axis, but counter-clockwise. This is depicted in Figure 7. The photon is easy to imagine as a plate. The electron (or positron) can be imagined as a sphere.
At a confrontation between an electron and a positron, a true annihilation does not take place. However, an “extinguishing” of both spins does take place in which the 2db-particles start to behave like gamma-photons. So this still refers to the same 2db-particles.
Fig. 7. (Schematic depiction electron and positron)3
Quarks, protons, and neutrons
Literature describes quarks as constituent particles. The quarks can occur in various ways. In a proton or a neutron one can see multiple quarks that are oriented up or down. A proton is known to consist of three quarks, 2 of which are up (2 Qu) and 1 down (1 Qd).
In our view, a quark is an interaction between three 1-db’s. A depiction of curvatures which can be seen by the observer is shown in Illustration 4.
Illustration 4: Impression curvatures quark3
4.1 Quark (greyscale) 4.2 Quark (blue is high curvature 4.3 Quark (each db it’s own
red is low curvature) color)
A neutron is unstable and rapidly dissociates into an electron, a proton, and an electron-anti-neutrino.
We infer from this comparison, on basis of our theory, that a neutron loses a quark during its disassociation into a proton. The withdrawing quark (that consists of three db’s) is very unstable and will immediately disassociate into an electron (2-db) and an anti-neutrino (1-db). The anti-neutrino is in fact a 1-db-particle that leaves the system of three (3-db/quark) and in an ultra-short time displays an extra curvature in its immediate surroundings. This is observed as the anti-neutrino. The electron proves observable while the proton also forms.
We conclude from this that a neutron consists of a foursome of quarks. Of these, 2 quarks are up and 2 quarks are down. This also explains the fact that, different from the proton, the neutron does not show a positively oriented field. The disassociation into a proton takes place during the expelling of a down quark. This will be further explained shortly.
Thus, according to our theory, a neutron consists of two up-quarks and 2 down-quarks (Qu, Qd, Qu, Qd). A depiction of the curvatures within a neutron is shown in Illustration 6. A proton consists of two up-quarks and one down-quark (Qu, Qu, Qd). A depiction of the curvatures within a proton is shown in Illustration 5.
Illustration 5: Impression curvatures proton3
Concluding: during the disassociation into a proton, the following happens:
Figure 8 (Disassociation into proton, electron, and 1db)3
In principle, the proton is very stable. Yet it can be said that during the disassociation of a proton, according to our theory this will take place as follows:
Fig. 9 (Disassociation into a positron, 2 gamma-photons, and 3x1db)3
At a disassociation, the proton will result in a positron, 2 gamma-photons, and three 1db-particles. In an ultra-short time, these 1db-particles will display an extra curvature in the immediate surroundings. These are observed as anti-neutrinos.
The described disassociation can in fact be observed by physicists. This provides our theory with evidence within the current observations.
Illustration 6: Impression curvatures neutron3
More complex particles
In more complex particles, the mutual interactions will become more and more complicated. We are of the opinion that these particles – rationalized from the basis – can be mathematically determined and simulated. Within these simulations we also expect that the previously mentioned entanglements of particles can be explained. In our view, the entanglement is possible because particles (whether constituent or not) can be under the influence of each other’s curvatures. This phenomenon can take place at very large distances. Such a situation will – caused by the relatively weak curvature – be unstable and experience a rapid disassociation. Because the entanglement is caused by curvatures, changes that one of the “partner-particles” experiences will instantaneously be transmitted to experienced by the other “partner-particle.” Thus, there is an underlying, understandable reason for the observed transmission (no playing dice).
In illustration 7 the curvatures of a deuterium core are shown. To the left the proton, to the middle/right the neutron. Remarkable is that the quark in the middle seems to be smaller than the surrounding quarks, this is the effect of a locally enlarged curvature of space. The proton and the neutron within their own complex movement tend to the configuration as shown in illustration 7. In a Newtonian way they will approach each other as shown and then remove from one another. What appears to be instantaneous and linear in time and space for the proton and the neutron will appear to be a slow process for an outside observer. When the distance between the proton and the neutron becomes more narrow time is being slowed down. Time is speeding up again when the distance between the proton and the neutron gets bigger. At the nearest point there is a “anchor” which is the cause for the longevity of the deuterium core. The half-life of the deuterium is unknown. The deuterium core is relatively stable. The timing within the described process in depicted in illustration 8. In illustration 8 the proton is held statically. The observer is theoretically situated on the proton.
Illustration 8: Trajectory of a neutron to a proton3
Electromagnetic Fields
Electromagnetic fields around an energized wire behave like fluids within a centrifugal pump. The centrifugal pump has been developed in the end of the 17th century by Denis Papin. If the fan of a centrifugal pump begins to rotate the fluid within the fan will get a tangential speed (= speed in the direction of the periphery). The centrifugal force that hereby arises makes the fluid being pushed to the outer periphery of the fan. In this the mechanical energy (the rotation of the fan) is being converted into potential and kinetic energy. In analogy to, the electrons (who all have a likeminded spin) will be hurled to the outer periphery of the wire. On the outside of the wire the curvatures caused by the electrons will be large. Through these curvatures the 1-db particles will be sucked in. This causes a whirlwind of 1-db particles which will rotate around the energized wire. This causes the electromagnetic fields with their attractive force. This process is depicted in illustration 9. By winding an energized wire in a coil the electromagnetic forces are being cumulated, this resulting in the fields as observed around an energized coil. This process is depicted in illustration 10. When implementing positrons are send through a wire the fields will show an opposite direction with respect to the fields caused by electrons.
Illustration 9: Electromagnetic fields around an energized wire3.
Illustration 10: Electromagnetic fields in and around an energized coil3.
Beauty in the order
To us, this model constitutes a good candidate for a new foundation to represent the observed particles and forces. The short distance forces (strong and weak) and the long distance forces (electric and gravitational) can be explained from the described curvatures.
We are amazed by the simplicity and the beauty of all this. The first words “let there be light” (Genesis) are remarkable. The photon is the first reaction that rises above our observation level. After that, all phenomena can be derived according to a relatively simple concept. The world can be described with Newton and Einstein. Reflecting out of this basis, one arrives at explanations for a multitude of phenomena. All observed interactions can be explained using this simple model. This has in fact always been the expectation of the great physicists. A simple model that can explain the forces of nature. In our opinion, this theory realizes all expectations.
This discovery in the area of physics of elementary particles demonstrates that order is the basis of creation. We are of the opinion that we are looking at the fundamentals of the structure, but the mystery of life remains.

The basis of the theory dimensional basic was devised by Gerhard Jan Smit during the years 1986 to 1993. He shared the theory of the dimensional basic, the character of dark matter, electromagnetic radiation, electrons, quarks, curvature phenomena of complex particles, the relative variable speed of light through various curvature fields, the “aging” of a photon, the improbability of the hypothetical expansion of the universe, the dimensional basic’s responsibility for the movement of galaxies and its responsibility for the cosmic background on 7 oktober 2016 with Jelle Ebel van der Schoot. Further deductions of the theory applying to photons, electrons, positrons, black holes, the cosmological constant and the deuterium core were developed jointly. Jelle Ebel van der Schoot has posited the theory of the proton and the neutron and their decay. In December 2016 Gerhard Jan Smit has calculated and described the properties of a deuterium core while on the 7th of January 2017 Jelle Ebel van der Schoot has found and described an explanation for electromagnetic fields, both starting from the present theory. All this has resulted in the present article.

A Gerhard Jan Smit et Jelle Ebel van der Schoot, November 20, 2016
Epitoma
In hac disceptatione particula inducetur per quam omnes vires modo idoneo exponuntur. Ad basin dimensionalem (db vel ), quam dicunt, pertinet. Multum reputati, Gerhard Jan Smit et Jelle Ebel van der Schoot opinantur hac ratione fundamentum particularum viriumque observatarum inventum esse.
Formula comitans est: √(x^2+y^2+z^2 )×Kr=1
In formula Kr = flexus [m1], x, y, z sunt coordinata in spatio/tempore [m].
Argumenta:
Propria corporis fusci introductione basis dimensionalis describi possunt, quae introductio novas deductiones in variis campis physicorum gerit;
Rubratio observata et cosmica est rubratio gravitationalis;
Ortus cosmicus conformatur per interactiones mutuas particularum 1-db;
Cognitiones usitatae nihilominus, neutron consistit ex quadruplice quarcorum (2 quarci sursum, 2 quarci deorsum);
Particulae complices, ex basi ad rationem distributae, mathematice decerni et simulari possunt;
Implicatio particularum curvaturis efficitur; mutationes quas una ex ‘particulis adsociis’ subit alteris ‘particulis adsociis ‘ statim subeuntur;
Campi electromagnetici circa fila vi imbuta particulis aspirantibus 1-db efficiuntur. Filo vi imbuto volvente in spira campi electromagnetici cumulantur, ex quo fiat ut campi circa spiram vi imbutam sic observentur.
Prooemium
Videtur non posse indicare propria rei macroscopicae, si quanta logica uteris. Propria particularum microscopicarum elementariarumque quae hoc tempore cognoscuntur illud difficillimum reddunt. Particulae elementariae propria habent quae definiri non possunt, nisi modo involuto. Una ex maioribus quaestionibus est quod gravitas quae in aequo particularum elementariarum est in Modum Usitatum (Newton) non comprimetur. Quod si fit, “Ratio Rerum Omnium” inventa est—ratio quae vires notas naturae coniungere potest.
Nunc primum particula in hoc libello ostendetur per quam omnes vires modo idoneo exponuntur. Ad basin dimensionalem (db vel ), quam dicunt, pertinet. Multum reputati, opinamur hanc particulam basicam fundamentum particularum viriumque observatarum, inventam esse.
In hoc libello delineatione dissensionum observatarum incipimus quae intra quanta mechanica sunt. Postea ratio describetur: Basis dimensionalis, consecutiones photo, electro, quarcis, protis, neutris, particulis multiplicioribus, naturaeque camporum electromagneticorum sequentur. Brevi verbo euphoriae (Amoenitate in ordine) atque excusatione finiemus.
Dictum Einsteini:
« Cogitatio est maioris momenti quam scientia. Scientia enim omnibus terminatur quae nunc scimus et intellegimus, sed cogitatio totum mundum omniaque quae umquam erunt ad sciendum et intellegendum complectitur. »
Epitoma dissensionum observatarum intra quanta mechanica
In mundo macroscopico res (locus, celeritas, tempusque) verae sunt res. In mundo autem microscopico non saepe dici potest utrum hae verae an falsae sint. Hoc quaestionem proponit: quam bene mundum magnitudinis atomicae intellegimus? Exempli gratia, Werner Heisenberg adfirmavit: “Mundus subatomicus iterum atque iterum demonstrat nos psychedelico in mundo vivere qui, sensui communi nostro, omnino absurdus est.”
Secundum exempla quae nunc habentur mundus factus est ex particulis: electris, protis, neutrisque. Prota et neutra ex particulis constituentibus (quarcis) facta sunt. Particulae viribus movent. Cognitae sunt vires brevis spatii (interactionum firmarum et infirmarum) et vires longinqui spatii (interactionum electricarum et gravitationalium).
Vires electrica et infirma et firma in aequo atomico et subatomico praevalent. Magnus progressus in ratione unita harum virium quaerenda fuit. Descriptio harum omnium particularum et virium intra quanta mechanica fit. Non sunt quanta mechanica alia modo ratio physica: Structura omnium rationum physicarum est. Quanta mechanica naturam particularum et virium describunt quae alia aliam ex particulis impediunt.
Adhuc nulla alia ratio nisi quanta mechanica statum universae tandem applicationis attinere potuit. Mysterium quantorum mechanicorum incipit cum fundamentum quod nunc cognoscitur acutius inspicis.
Ut elementis parvissimis corporis studeas, acceleratoribus particularum uteris. Hoc modo particulae elementariae arte accelerantur et ut cum aliis particulis confligantur aguntur: Ita novae particulae fiunt. Vestigiis earum observandis propriis particularum, utrum in campum magneticum inque concursus mutuos deflectis (solum particulis electrice citis) necne, studeri potest. Praebetne hoc nobis bonam imaginem mundi an est imago nostra descriptio exituum horum multorum experimentorum? Suppeditantne experimenta bonam descriptionem principalem entiae particularum? Talis quaestio fons est anxietatis apud physicos.
Physici definitionem quantorum mechanicorum malunt quae experientiae mundi macroscopici congruit atque quae mechanicis classicis ostenditur. Classicus autem mundus mundo quantorum mechanicorum ex parte non consistit. Quod ad quaestiones necessarias ducit: Potestne ostendi summa rerum quantis mechanicis? Consentaneam esse exspectationem videtur quod atomi quae in summa rerum insunt legibus physicis oboediunt. Hoc eo tempore verum esse non videtur.
Primum in aequo macroscopico sunt observationes celeritatium declinantium inter galaxis. Quae celeritates corpori directe observato non conveniunt atque adsentia modo gravitatis ignotae corporis fusci appellati explicari possunt. Ex concessis lentium gravitationalium validum est argumentum de adsentia corporis nigri. Quae concessa adesentiam corporis nigri in congregationibus circaque galaxibus indicant. Quamquam hoc corpus re vera et directe non observatum est, obliqua argumenta obruunt.
Difficile tamen est compluribus physicis sumptionem stomachari adsentiae huius corporis fusci quod confirmari non potest. Quam ob rem novae rationes continuo nascuntur. Quarum rationum multi sunt eventus frequentes physicorum consistendorum quia has observationes, quae in aequo macroscopico sunt cum inopia argumentorum verorum directorumque congruendum esse non possunt. Nugae mathematicae subvertuntur et adseverationibus valde multiplicibus utendum est ut summa rerum depingatur. Quibus altius examinatis difficultatem hoc modo non remotam esse sentis.
In microscopico quoque aequo quaestiones principales sunt. Exempli gratia, intra quanta mechanica est res implicatio. Duabus particulis quae simul fiuntur—sed magno spatio inter se sitis—evenit ut quaeque propria habeant quae inter se congruunt. Quod causae communis in sensu classico reminisceretur. Si status autem unius ex particulis mutatus erit (e.g., vertice), tum occasus alteri particulae simul mutabitur. Videtur subitam transmissionem rerum verarum quasi procul fieri. Haec igitur correlatio quae est inter duas particulas eis praeterit quae in physicis classicis posse creduntur. Quod particula statum peculiarem non adsumit dum observatur (calculatur) Einsteinum effecit ut « Deus aleis non ludere » dixerit. Clarum est Einsteinum significavisse necesse esse causam substratam et intelligibilem transmissionis creditae rerum verarum. Adhuc tamen explicatio huius rei non inventa est.
Sunt quoque quaestiones quibus ambo aeque macroscopicum et microscopicum insunt. Primum est photon a campo gravitationali attractari. Photon a vestigio eius deflectitur corpore gravi quae in spatio est (Fig. 1). Cur photon Einsteini rationibus de spatio et tempore curvato oboedit? Posteris traditum est photon sine corpore esse habetur, causa sub qua mechanismus iacens non iam plene intellegitur. Additur ut rubratio gravitationalis sit quam photon (in spatio) patitur cum proxima est rei curvature enormi (lacunae fuscae). Re vera, in lacunae fuscae orbi finienti ubi eventus fiunt rubratio extrema (infinita) fit. Quamquam ambae res toto mundo accipiuntur, non explicatae manent. Quare photon talem deflectionem patitur et qualis machina est rubrationis gravitationalis?
Fig. 1 (Photon deflectum ad rem gravis corporis pr oximum)1
Haec et alia physicos continuo inducunt ut interpretationem quantorum physicorum recogitent. Meta mutua eorum est novam formam eorum quae iam sunt invenire.
Hoc in capite rationem proponimus quae re vera virium nuclearium et microscopice et macroscopice intellegendarum initium capit. Explicationem non usitatam pro rebus observatis praebemus. Nonne quaestionibus iam memoratis et necessariis respondebitur? Sic credimus.
Hoc in capite compluria sumemus quae idonea sint exemplo quod proponimus.
Basis Dimensionalis
Fundamentum rationis est quod particula maxime elementaria quae est basis dimensionalis est (db vel ). Haec particula unum modo proprium habet: curvaturam infinitam quae in medio eius est. Ipsa particula nullos habet modos (neque longitudinem neque latitudinem neque altitudinem). Particula ubique in summa rerum invenitur. Particula per spatium/tempus semper movet. Per agglomerationem, vel per interactionem iunctam, particulae res quasdam effingunt quae puncto quodam temporis super limitem observationalem surgunt. Ipsa db sub limite observationali est ut numquam demonstrari possit. 1db [ ] particula in figura 2 depingitur. Hic curvatura contra spatium/tempus calculata est.
Formula comitans est : √(x^2 +y^2+z^2 )×Kr=1 (0).
In formula Kr = curvature [m1], x,y,z sunt coordinata in spatio/tempore [m].
Curvatura spatii quae in loco 1-db est infinita est, dum tempus in loco 1-db consistit. 1-db ut lacuna nigra se sine modis agit. Formula (0) curvaturam diminutam fere spatii/temporis describit quae 1-db circumveniunt. Curvatura spatii diminuet et tempus se ocius agit spatio ad 1-db crescente.
Intervallum inter 1-dbes secundum leges mathematicas inter se pertinentis differt. Cursus motus alii aliis secundum leges gravitationales aguntur. Semitae motuum ei qui foras observat curvaturis spatii/tempris impelluntur quae ipsis dbibus faciunt. Quod significat tempus decelerare spatio comparato circum 1-db diminuente ubi dbes alius alium appropinquat. Tempus accelerat et spatium comparatum circum 1-db crescit cum dbes alius ab alio abeunt.
Db aliis particulis separatur hoc sensu, quod aliae particulae ex pluribus dbibus consistunt, ipsa autem db singularis particula est, singularis quoque singularitate. Quisquis db singularitas est in sese, aliae particulae quam db sunt mixtura plurium singularitatium.
Vires observatae (debilis, fortis, electrica) eandem originem habent. Hae vires causam suam in natura singularis db inveniunt. Vires observatae sunt re vera summa valde multiplex verticum qui fient cum plures dbes inter se agunt.
Formula (0) in simulationibus exempli statici4 recte applicata est quibus ad illustrationes usi sumus et deformatio temporis applicata est in exemplo dynamico quod educatum est quodque hoc in capite monstari non potest. Expositio exempli dynamici in situ retiali www.db-universe.org videri potest.
Illustratio 0: Deformatio spatii basi dimensionali impulsa.
0.1 Cubus incurvatus (latus) spatii/temporis 0.2 Cubus spatii/temporis basi dimensionali in medio curvatus
Huic capiti extricatione formulae (0) utimur: Kr = abs 1/x (1).
In formula Kr = curvature [m1], x = spatium/tempus [m].
Fig. 2 (Depictio schematica 1db)5
Cum duae particulae dbes alia in directam sphaeram alius vis init, interactio valida inter duas fiet. Hoc ad stellae planetaeque coniunctioni, ut soli terraeque, comparandum est (Illustratio 1.1). Hoc inter se differunt quod particulae dbes dimensione egent et curvaturam infinitam in medio habent (Illustratio 1.2). Quod demonstrat tempus (ei qui foras observat) infinite decelerare cum particularum alia aliam appropinquat. Itaque coniunctio 2 dbum longaevam habet vitam. Interactio quae est inter 2 1-dbes in Figura 3 depingitur. Similitudo curvaturarum quae lacunas nigras circumveniunt praeclara est.
Illustratio 1.1 Terra in campo curvaturae solis2 Illustratio 1.2 Depictio curvaturarum 2 dbum particularum2
Fig. 3 (Depictio schematica 2db-particulae)2
Curvatura particularum coniunctarum utendo formula (2) invenitur. Curvatura quae in medio inter particulas est cum x=0 invenitur.
kr= abs1/(x+(1λ )/2) + abs1/(x-(1λ )/2) (2).
In formula Kr = curvatura [m2], λ = spatium inter ambas particulas/longitudines fluctuum [m].
Superficies constituta quae inter ambo asymptota fit superficiem habet 2 *∫_0,5λ^λln (x). Quod par est 2 ln 2 (constanti). Tota superficies (id est superficies in qua rationes sinistrae et dextrae graphico incorporatae sunt) aestimationem habet 2ln(2) + 2*∫_λ^∞▒〖1/x dx〗.
Photon
Suppositio est 2-db-particulam photon esse. Depictio curvaturarum quae ab observante decerni possunt in Illustratione 2 monstratur. Longitudines fluctuum photi pares sunt spatio λ quod inter ambas particulas est. Depictio schematica photi in Figura 4 monstratur.
2.1 Photon (sine colore) 2.2 Photon (caeruleae sunt altae 2.3 Photon (quisquis db colore
curvaturae, rubrae humiles) suo)
Photon quod in spectro rubro inest (620 nm) kr620nm (cum x=0) habet aestimationem 6.45x106 m-1. Photo gamma (0.001 nm) kr0,001nm (cum x=0) habet aestimationem 4.0x1012 m-1. Superficies par est cuique photo 2ln(2) + 2*∫_λ^∞▒〖1/x dx〗. Quod enthalpiam parem fore omnibus photis ostendit. Crescit autem entropia photi dum longitudo fluctuum eius crescit. Quod apparet per reductionem curvaturae maiore longitudine.
Figura 4 (Depictio schematica photi)3
Apparet particulam 2-db moventem quae vi rei proximae extrema curvatura est vestigium deflectum habebit. Quod re vera observatur (vide Figuram 1). Si photon in vestigio eius curvaturis impellitur aliis particulis factis, photon « ex libra » labetur. Vi extremarum curvaturarum photon longitudines fluctuum mutabitur. Quod « senectutem photi » appellamus.
Aliam rem examinemus. Si photon in vestigio eius curvaturis agitur quae aliis particulis fiunt, photon ex libra ferentur, id est, radius verticis interni maior fiet. Per extremas curvaturas photon mutationem longitudinum fluctuum eius subiet. Hoc «senescentiam photi» appellamus. Quia ambae db-particulae immanem curvaturam inter se intra photon patiuntur, illud ei qui observat lente progreditur. Attamen in itinere multorum annorum lucidorum (e.g., 10 billionum annorum lucidorum) per spatium/tempus, quod fit ab observante videri potest.
Rubratio puncti cuiusdam temporis per formulam (3) sequentem datur:
Rubratio per formulam λobservans = λregula + Constans x S {3).
In formula λobservans longitude fluctuum est photi [nm] in situ observantis, λregula est longitudo fluctuum photi in loco ortus eius, Constans est ex spatio quod oritur ex curvaturis fluctuantibus quas photon obviam erit per tempus iter faciens, S est spatium per quod photon it in spatio temporeque inter locum ortus et quo loco observatur [m].
Quia photon iter per multos campos varios curvaturarum faciet, necessitudo scilicet non tam linearis fere quam hic supponitur. Figura 5 phota exhibit quae vestigia per varios campos curvaturarum habent. Nota photon 1 in t10 locum discrepantem in spatio/tempore cum photo 2 t10. Ei qui foras observat, photon 1 accelerare videtur.
Fig. 5 (Photon in vestigio per campos discrepantes curvaturarum).
Vi extremarum curvaturarum in spatio “senescentia” photi magno opere accelerare potest. Quod prope nigras lacunas observatur (vide Illustrationem 3). Propius vestigium photi nigrae lacunae, maior senescentia. Re vera iuxta locum finientem (Schwartzchild libram) nigrae lacunae ubi fit, senescentia (rubratio gravitationalis) infinita est.
Illustratio 3: Curvaturae photi in manu externe magnarum curvaturarum
Adhuc rubratio cosmica quae in summa rerum observatur maxime per exspationem suppositam summae rerum explicata est. Rubratio ut effectus Doppler explicatur. Opinamur rubrationem cosmicam esse eventms senescentiae photi. Qui effectus fit cum phota spatia longissima (e.g., 10 billiones annorum lucidorum) in spatio/tempore peregrinata sunt. Ut prius dictum est, hae curvaturae in summa rerum ubique ut dbes adsunt. Rubratio observata re vera gravitationalis rubratio est. Conclusio directa esset non talem esse rem qualem exspationem summae rerum. Observatones mundi exspatiantis et accelerati, ut videtur, « senescentia» photi explicatur; itaque dubitamus hypothesin vim fuscam esse causam mundi celerius exspatiandi.
Magni momenti est animadvertere magnas summas dbum esse causam adsentiae observatae vis fuscae et corporis fusci. Dbes vero sunt ipsae corpus fuscus petitus. Quae celeritates permutantes galaxeon explicare potest neque necesse est aliquem nugis mathematicis ludere. Motus quae in spatio sunt etiam modo Newtonio explicari possunt.
Constans cosmologicum in ratione relativitatis ab Einsteino suggesta re vera est resumptiva descriptio adsentiae baseon dimensionalium. Postea Einstein suggestionem suam ob legem Hubble’s reiecit. Opinamur rectam autem suggestionem eius fuisse.
Basis dimensionalis magno opere particeps est fluctuationum in spectro radiationis cosmicae quae in abscedentibus est explicandarum. Corpus efficiens numquam antea observatum est. Credimus genera quaedam abscedentuma cosmioruma per interactionem mutuam 1-dbum particularum fieri. Quod aliquando phota longitudinum fluctuum valde discrepantium conformari facit, quae simul exemplum radiationis quod in abscedentibus est faciunt.
Electra
Observationes demonstraverunt, cum positron et electron deleantur, duo phota gamma solvi. Quod in diagrammate Feynman (Figura 6) infra depingitur.
Fig. 6 (Feynman diagramma: deletio positri et electri)3
Feynman diagramma retro quoque legi potest. Duo phota gamma positron et electron una faciunt. Quodque photon ex duabus db-particulis consistit quae rotationem solum circum y-axim habet (vide Figuram 4). Electron 2-db particula est cui vertex superflua (ad photon) circum x-axim est (dextra). Positron quoque est 2-db particula cui vertex superflua circum x-axim est sed sinistra. Quod in Figura 7 depingitur. Photon licet ut lamina concipiatur. Electron (vel positron) licet ut sphaera concipiatur.
Cum electron et positron inter se confligunt, vera deletio non fit. Exstinctio autem fit ambarum verticum in qua 2-db particulae ut phota gamma se habere incipiunt. Quod igitur etiam ad easdem 2-db particulas pertinet.
Fig. 7 (Depictio schematica electri et positri)3
Quarci prota neutraque
Litterae quarcos particulas constituentes describunt. Quarci modis variis fieri possunt. In proto neutrove multos quarcos videre potest qui sursum vel deorsum spectant. Proton ex tribus quarcis consistere scimus quorum 2 sursum (2 Qu) et 1 deorsum (1 Qd) sunt.
Ut cogitamus, quarcus est interactio inter 3 dbes. Depictio curvaturarum quam licet observanti videre in Illustratione 4 monstratur.
4.1 Quarcus (sine colore) 4.2 Quarcus (caeruleus in curvatura 4.3 (Quarcus (Cuique db suus color
alta, ruber in humili)
Neutron instabile est et cito in electron, proton, electronque antineutrinon se dissociat.
Ex hac comparatione secundum rationem nostram concludimus neutron quarcum perdere dum in proton dissolvitur. Quarcus decedens (qui ex tribus dbibus consistit) instabilissimus est et statim in electron (2-db) et antineutrinon (1-db) dissolvetur. Antineutrinon re vera 1-db particula est quae ex systemate trium (3-dbum/quarcorum) excedit et quae brevissimo tempore curvaturam superfluam in vicinis eius praebet. Quod ut antineutrinon observatur. Electron videri potest dum proton quoque formatur.
Ex quo neutron ex quadriga quarcorum concludimus. Quorum 2 quarci sursum, 2 deorsum sunt. Quod id etiam explicat, quod neutron, haud sicut proton, campum non positive directum praebet. Dissolutio proti fit dum quarcus deorsum expellitur. Quod plenius mox explicabitur.
Sic secundum rationem nostram neutron ex 2 quarcis sursum et 2 quarcis deorsum (Qu, Qd, Qu, Qd) consistit. Depictio curvaturarum quae sunt intra neutron in Illustratione 6 monstratur. Proton ex 2 quarcis sursum et 1 deorsum (Qu, Qu, Qd) consistit. Depictio curvaturarum quae sunt in proto in Illustratione 5 monstratur.
Illustratio 5 : Impressiones Curvaturarum proti)3
Conclusio : Dum proton dissociatur, sequentia fiunt:
Figura 8 (Dissociatio in proton, electron 1-db)3
Ut principium, proton positron, 2 phota gamma, tres 1-db particulae fiunt. Brevissimo tempore, haec 1-db particulae curvaturam superfluam proximis in circumiectis praebebunt. Quae ut antineutrina observantur.
Figura 9 (Dissociatio in positron, phota 2-gamma, et 3x1db) 3
Particulis dissociatis proton positron, phota 2-gamma, tresque 1db particulae fiunt. Brevissimo tempore hae 1db particulae curvaturam superfluam in vicinis praebebunt. Quae ut antineutrina observantur.
Dissociatio descripta a physicis re vera observari potest. Hoc rationi nostrae intra observatones quae nunc fiunt argumento suppeditat.
Particulae magis multiplices
De particulis magis multiplicibus, interactiones mutuae magis et magis involutae fiebunt. Opinamur has particulas—quae a basi ratiocinantur—mathematice determinari et simulari posse. Nos quas intra simulationes exspectamus quoque implicationes particularum supra memoratas explicari posse. Opinione nostra implicatio potest quia particulae (sive constituentes annon) aliae curvaturis aliarum affici sunt. Haec res a spatiis maxime longinquis fieri potest. Talis rerum status—curvatura minus valida effectus—instabilis erit et dissociationem rapidam patetur. Quod implicatio curvaturis efficitur, mutationes quas una ex « particulis sociis » patitur alium « particulae sociae» subito fient. Itaque causa prima et intelligibilis transmissioni (neque aleis ludere) est.
In Illustratione 7 curvaturae nuclei deuterici monstrantur. Ad sinistram proti, ad medium dextrumque neutri. Quod conspicuum est medium quarcum minorem videri quam quarcos circumvenientes, hoc effectu curvaturae spatii proxime amplificatae. Proton et neutron intra motum multiplicem suum ad configurationem tendit in Illustratione 7 monstratam. Modo Newtonio alius alium approprinquabit, tum alius ab alio se removebit. Id quod proto neutroque in tempore spatioque subitum et lineare esse videtur ei qui foras observat lentum esse tempus videbitur. Cum spatium inter proton et neutron fit angustius, tempus deceleratur. Tempus denuo accelerat cum spatium inter proton et neutron crescit. Puncto proximo “ancora” est, quae causa est longaevitatis nuclei deuterici. Semivita deuterii ignota est. Nucleus deuterii comparate stabils est. Intervallum intra tempus descriptum in Illustratione 8 depingitur. Proton in Illustratione 8 immotum tenetur. Qui observat in proto theoretice locatur.
Illustratio 8: Triaiectus neutri ad proton3
Campi Electromagnetici
Campi electromagnetici qui filum vi imbutum circumveniunt se habent ut liquores qui in antlia centrifugali sunt. Antlia centrifugalis exeunte saeculo septimo et decimo a Dionysio Papin ficta est. Si flabellum antliae centrifugalis volvi íncipit, liquores in flabello celeritatem tangentialem adquirebit (i.e., celeritatem ad peripheriam). Vis centrifugalis hinc orta efficit ut liquor ad exteriorem peripheriam flabelli impellatur. Hoc modo vis mechanica (rotatio flabelli) in vim potentialem et cineticam convertitur. Per analogiam electra, quae omnia habent similes vertices, ad exteriorem flabelli peripheriam iaciebuntur. Extra flabellum curvaturae electris factae grandes erunt. Per quas curvaturas 1-dbes particulae insorbentur. Id turbinem 1-dbum particularum quae circum flabellum vi imbutum revolventur, quod campos electromagneticos vi attractiva earum efficit. Quae res in Illustratione 9 depingitur. Flabello vi imbuto in spiram volvendo vires electromagneticae accumulantur quas in campis circum spiram vi imbutis observatos efficiunt. Quod in Illustratione 10 depingitur. Cum positra per filum mittuntur, campi in partem oppositam spectabunt eis campis qui electris fiunt.

Pulchritudo ordinis
Nobis hoc exemplum bonus candidatus novo fundamento est quod particulas et vires observatas exprimat. Vires brevis spatii (validae et infirmae) et vires longinqui spatii (electricae et gravitationales) curvaturis descriptis explicari possunt.
Horum omnium simplicitate et pulchritudine obstupefimus. Prima verba « Fiat lux » (Genesis) singularia sunt. Photon prima reactio est quae super aequum observationale nostrum surgit. Post eam omnes res secundum simplicem fere notionem deduci possunt. Mundus a Newtono et Einsteino describi potest. Omnes interactiones observatae per hoc simplex exemplum explicari possunt. Quae res exspectatio omnium magnorum physicorum re vera semper fuit. Simplex exemplum quod vires naturae explicare potest. Opinamur hanc rationem perficere omnes exspectationes.
Haec inventio particularum elementariarum in physicis demonstrat ordinem radicem esse creationis. Opinamur nos spectare fundamenta conformationis sed mysterium vitae manet.
Gratiae
Basis dimensonalis inter annos 1986 et 1993 a Gerhard Jan Smit excogitata est. Ille rationem basis dimensionalis, naturam corporis fusci, radiationem electromagneticam, electra, quarcos, curvaturas particularum multiplicium, celeritatem mutabilem lucis quae per campos varios curvaturarum spectat, « senescentiam » photi, improbabilitatem exspationis hypotheticae summae rerum, basin dimensionalem esse causam galaxeon movendarum causamque abscedentium cosmicorum die 7 mense Octobri anno 2016 cum Jelle Ebel van der Schoot communicavit. Ampliores deductiones rationis de photis, electris, positris, lacunis nigris, constante cosmologico, nucleoque deuterico iunctim excogitae sunt. Jelle Ebel van der Schoot rationem proti neutrique atque dissolutionem eorum proposuit. Mense Decembri 2016 Gerhard Jan Smit propria nuclei deuterici calculavit et descripsit atque die 7 mense Ianuario anno 2017 Jelle Ebel van der Schoot explicationem camporum electromagneticorum invenit et descripsit, ambobus ab hac ratione proficiscentibus. Quae omnia in hoc capite facta sunt.
