Thanks to Mark Pesce for kicking fwd/ this launch into 'hyperspace' and to Bogus Magus for providing the cut & build models. Cheers Mate!

SAUL: The vector equalibrium is an object that has 12 vertices, ok, and actually that object, is one of these crystallographic objects, in fact that crystallographic object exists exactly in what i call the reflection space, or you could call it a crystallographic space of the SU(4) group. OK, and in fact of course; those 12 vertices actually correspond to what we call; eigen values of the S4 group which correspond to what we call the gauge particles, or the force particles. You see; there's two types groups of particles in quantum theory these force particles and matter particles. One of the fundamental ideas in particle theory is that matter particles interact by exchanging force particles, and mathematically the way that works is that in these gauge group structures you have two different types of crystallographic structure, you have the matter c.s and the force c.s, and in the case of SU(4) the matter crystallographic structures are like tetrathedra, you have two tetrahedra making a cube and those exactly correspond to the eigen values of the quarks and anti-quarks, and the electrons and the neutrinos. OK. So those are all matter particles, but then there are actually 15 force particles involved because SU4 is a 15 dimensional group but 3 of the force particles have zero eigen values, and 12 of them have none zero eigen values and those eigen values exactly correspond to the vertices of what Bucky fuller calls the vector equilibrium. So that object is being used but in a totally different way to what he thought of it.
Fly Agaric: yeah.
FLY: [Can you give me a description of LAWCAP?]
RAW: Oh, that's a term coined by Buckminster Fuller for Lawyer-run capitalism, he thinks that the attempts to control Capitalism by passing laws has turned control of the corporations over to their Lawyers whose job it is to tell them how they can rob as much as they want without breaking the law technically, and if they do break the law what kind of defence to mount against any prosecution. Lawyers are really running the system, and considering the low opinion everybody has about lawyers that's more terrifying than any other conspiracy theory - like the Jewish conspiracy, I'm not afraid of Jews, all the Jews I know are very nice people, the Jesuit conspiracy - well it's a little frightening but I met a lot of good Jesuits too, the freemasonic conspiracy; every freemason I know I like, but the idea of a lawyer conspiracy! Really, those bastards are capable of anything. And thus when you've got to argue both sides of any case, that's very good education if your gonna be a philosopher, but it's not a good education for anybody who's gonna have any power over other people, cuz whatever they wanna prove they can prove it to themselves anyway. They can make a pretty good argument in most cases, that's what legal training is all about. "NO, my defendant did not set fire to the building he was merely smoking in the hay barn." That wasn't a very good example, sorry.
