while the gases, vibrating in the higher notes, diffuse under
Repulsion. Between them, created by the interchange of these two
forces, is our "skin" of phenomena, or kinetics.

Broadly, the attraction of the universe comes from its vibration
at certain centres in the three higher notes; the repulsion
comes from its vibration everywhere else in the three higher
notes. The central note, D of the scale, represents the battle
ground between the field of kinetics. This in simple
illustration is water turning into gas.

This is the great battle ground, the only one worth considering
in a general view. There are minor "critical stages" which the
chemist studies, but for us, in this broad sketch of the
universe, the important battle-ground is that between solid and
liquid on one side representing gravity, and gas on the other,
representing apergy.

All the solids and liquids of this earth of ours gather at the
centre, in a core, each of the elements (or their combinations)
in this core vibrating in their three lower notes, producing the
attraction, which is "in proportion to the mass" and which
decreases from the surface of the core "as the square of the
substance."

Around this central core gather all the elements vibrating in the
three higher notes of their octave as gases, producing repulsion
which increases by 1.6 for each doubled time. It is worth while
making this clear. It has never before appeared in print.
