34.  Briefly, by a "particle" we mean an entity so constructed that, if any part of it changes all of it changes.  From the viewpoint of the particle, this implies that to change is to detect, and to detect is to change.  Also, internal and external become synonymous, in the "detected" sense.  The idea of a "fundamental particle" in physics actually invokes the fourth law of logic implicitly.

35.  Only if a thing dimensionally contains time, can it "occupy time."  This point is so obvious that one wonders how so many of the scientists and mathematicians seem to have missed it.  By this criterion, e.g., mass does not exist in time, a priori.  To "observe" or detect, in fact, means to stop time, thus collapsing the wave function. However, it reduces the observable or detectable to a spatial quantity, not a spatiotemporal quantity.  In other words, the ordinary scientific method destroys a part of reality in each detection or measurement, yielding only a partial truth. not fundamental truth.

36.  Note that electrostatic scalar potential is actually infinite-dimensional and hyperspatial.  The coverage of this paper is still only a special case.  By Tesla technology, it is possible to do direct engineering in hyperspace -- beyond our present space and time, with all that that statement implies.

63. Max Jammer, Concepts of Mass, Harvard University Press, Cambridge, MA, 1961.  Recipient of the monograph prize of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences for the year 1960 in the field of physical and biological sciences.  This book, strange as it may seem, was the first monograph to subject the notion of mass to an integrated and coherent historical investigation, something which had never before been done.  The reading of this book is an absolute must for anyone seriously concerned about whether or not science speaks fundamental truth, or to what degree it does so.  Most scientists assume foundations concepts such as "field," "force," "mass," "time," etc. are well-defined and well-understood in physics, since they are ubiquitous and so familiar.  In fact, none of the absolute fundamentals in the foundations of physics is unambiguously understood!
            The last paragraph by Jammer is illuminating:  "The modern physicist may rightfully be proud of his spectacular achievements in science and technology.  However, he should always be aware that the foundations of his imposing edifice, the basic notions of his discipline, such as the concept of mass, are entangled with serious uncertainties and perplexing difficulties that have as yet not been resolved."
