6.0.5 - Space seen as Constructive Cubes

Russell viewed the universe as an orthogonal matrix filled from end to end with constructive (virtual) cubes wherein discrete motions of force and energy fulfilled the roles assigned them. These cubic spaces are defined by limits and dynamics of contained Forces and Energies. According to Russell these virtual cubes are defined by limits of dynamics and not defined by Space although occupying definable Space. In other words the Space Geometry of these Cubes is established and defined by contained dynamics or motions but not created and defined by the Cube geometries themselves. Sensorial man wishes to define by limits and discrete things while nature defines by dynamics - an idea Dr. Wilhelm Reich would agree with. It is my considered opinion these virtual cubes are the divisions as evidenced in the Square Law and Inverse Square Law; i. e., mathematical constraints of energy transformations. Russell considered the boundaries of these cubes as lenses where energy was either multiplied (syntropy) or divided (entropy). [See (Wave, Vacuum, Dispersion, Spacetime]

Wilhelm Reich observed four essential stages in all motions (tension, build-up, discharge and relaxation) and in all aspects of life forms he examined. In the orgasm process of sex, he discovered a unique energetic life force that pervaded all nature. Reich named this force "orgone energy." Orgone energy "contradicts" the law of entropy. Orgone energy is attracted to concentrations of itself; i.e., is syntropic. Unlike heat or Electricity, which manifests a direction of flow from higher to lower potential (entropy), orgone flows from low orgonotic potentials to higher. Thus, high concentrations of orgone energy attract orgone from their less orgone-concentrated surroundings. (An analogy is found in gravitation, where the larger bodies attract, or "pull," the smaller.) Non-entropic (syntropic) orgonotic processes, moreover, do not run their course mechanically, but are qualitatively entirely different from entropic processes.

"We shall no longer hang on to the tails of public opinion or to a non-existent authority on matters utterly unknown and strange. We shall gradually become experts ourselves in the mastery of the knowledge of the Future." [Wilhelm Reich]

"Reich's orgone is a spontaneously pulsatile, excitable, and negatively-entropic (syntropic) energy. It is an active, creative principle which is tangible, real, measurable, and in the "here and now". Through experiment, it was found that concentrated, excited orgone in high vacuum absorbs and diminishes electromagnetic excitations transmitted through it." [DeMeo, James; Response to Martin Gardner's Attack on Reich and Orgone Research in the Skeptical Inquirer]


Exactly. And this is where Russell's treatment of the cube becomes highly relevant.
Most people who encounter Russell's cubes assume he is proposing a static geometry of space, something similar to a crystal lattice or a close-packed structure.
But Russell's cubes are not really about geometry.
They are about organization around a center.
In Russell's cosmology, every cube contains:
a still center
compressive motions toward that center
expansive motions away from that center
balanced interchange between them
The cube is simply the visible expression of a deeper dynamic.
In other words:
The cube is not the cause.
The cube is the record of a process.
That is very different from saying:
Reality is made of cubes.
Russell's space is generated by wave fields centered upon points of rest.
That is remarkably close to Keely's Neutral Centers.
What strikes me about Louisa Firethorne's proposal is that she appears fascinated by:
the lattice
the geometry
the topology
while Russell would immediately ask:
Where is the still center?
Because for Russell the center comes first.
The geometry comes afterward.
There is another interesting parallel.
Her "knot" concept resembles what Russell called a wave field compression.
A star, planet, atom, or particle is not an independent object.
It is a localized concentration within a universal continuum.
Russell wrote essentially this throughout The Secret of Light and The Universal One.
But he never attributed the concentration merely to geometric tension.
He attributed it to:
desire for balance
rhythmic balanced interchange
generative compression toward a center
In SVP language:
sympathetic attraction
negative attraction
focalization
Neutral Center dominance
So if we compare the three views:
Louisa Firethorne
Vacuum → Geometry → Knot → Matter
Russell
Stillness → Wave Motion → Compression → Matter
SVP
Neutral Center → Sympathy → Etheric Accumulation → Matter
Notice how Russell and SVP begin with a causative center while Louisa begins with a structure.
That may be why her theory feels incomplete to you.
What I find fascinating is that Russell's cube may actually provide a bridge between her work and SVP.
She sees:
a structured medium.
Russell says:
yes, but structure is generated.
Keely says:
and generation occurs around Neutral Centers.
Your recent work in Volumes 66 and 67 has essentially been exploring that exact missing step:
How does organization arise?
Not:
What shape does organization take?
That distinction is subtle but fundamental.
The cube, the lattice, the flower of life, the knot—all of those may be manifestations.
The real mystery remains:
What causes etheric substance to accumulate around a center in the first place?
That question leads directly back to Keely's sympathetic attraction and the Law of Assimilation.
Which is probably why Russell's cubes and your Volume 68 outline fit together so naturally. Both are trying to move from geometry back to cause. [ChatGPT, 6/10/26]
