Ancient Scalar Differentiator?

In all of Keely’s scalar–kinetic talk, the missing step is how we get the scalar potential to let go and express as motion. That’s the differentiator — the disturbance, “tickle,” or “tap” that breaks equilibrium just enough to trigger the outflow.
If we catalog differentiators by type, a pattern starts to emerge.

Catalog of Differentiators
(The “tickling sticks” that disturb scalar stillness into motion)

1. Electromagnetic
Microwaves – cause polar molecules to oscillate (water boiling).
Radio waves – induce electron and magnetic domain motion in conductors (antennas, coils).
Laser light – induces coherent atomic oscillation (stimulated emission).
Static discharge – sudden electric field collapse creates a shock impulse.
Common trait: Oscillation begins when the wave’s electric/magnetic field interacts resonantly with the target’s natural polarity or dipole arrangement.

2. Mechanical / Acoustic
Sound pulses – longitudinal pressure waves induce vibration in resonant bodies (wine glass, crystal).
Ultrasound – excites molecular structures beyond audible range (medical imaging, cleaning).
Physical impact or stress – plucking a string, striking a bell, tapping a crystal.
Common trait: Sudden mechanical displacement forces the scalar-resting structure into motion along its natural modes.

3. Thermal / Radiant
Sunlight – photons excite electron states, releasing spectral patterns (rainbows, photovoltaics).
Heat gradients – expansion/contraction cycles induce motion (heat engines).
Infrared radiation – molecular bond vibrations increase.
Common trait: Energy absorbed in the right form excites an internal resonance or loosens binding, enabling motion.

4. Gravitational / Inertial
Centrifugal variation – rotating masses change local stress, altering equilibrium (gyroscope precession).
Tidal forces – periodic gravitational stretching triggers oscillations in planetary bodies.
Free-fall transitions – shifting between weight and weightlessness alters internal stress states.
Common trait: Shifting force balance changes the relationship between scalar center and kinetic poles.

5. Chemical / Electrochemical
Catalysts – lower activation barrier, triggering reaction (scalar → molecular motion).
Electrolysis – electric field differentiates ionic states in fluid.
Piezoelectric effect – mechanical stress differentiates crystal’s internal charge distribution.
Common trait: Structural change at molecular or crystalline level converts equilibrium into directed motion.

Underlying Pattern
Every differentiator:
Finds a point of natural sensitivity (resonance, dipole, alignment).
Applies a sharp or rhythmic change (impulse or oscillation).
Triggers an imbalance that propagates into kinetic motion.
Keely’s genius was in matching the differentiator’s frequency, phase, and mode of delivery to the mass chord of the target — so the response wasn’t just motion, but coherent, amplified motion.
