Heading: THE CONCEPT OF THE OAWOO
By provisionally defining the IBOZOO as an elementary entity, although differentiated, composed by a bundle of orthogonal axes that cannot intersect each other, we have precisely introduced (albeit for pedagogical purposes) a concept that you must reject a priori: that, expressed with a very familiar word on Earth, of the AXIS. If you associate our word OAWOO ("AXIS" or DIRECTION) with an oriented straight line, we return to the starting point since you will have understood nothing of our preceding explanations.
Evidently there is a serious obstacle here because we speak different mathematical languages. Languages which by definition (as we noted in a previous document) are conditioned by a set of different psychological conceptions between you and us. When, from the first infantile stages, the UUGEEYIE has been educated inside defined and narrow logical molds and, feeling respect for unreal mathematical postulates, it will be very difficult for him, not to say impossible, to educate his mental mechanisms to dissociate illusory images related to his mode of perception.
For this: if we invite laymen in mathematics to imagine the IBOZOO UU as a series of axes (indefinite, ideal straight lines) we invite MATHEMATICIANS to reconsider that our concept of OAWOO which, although implying a "DIRECTION" can never be assimilated to real or ideal axes or straight lines.
We wish to insist on the fact that an isolated IBOZOO UU is not susceptible of being conceived; that is to say that it has no reality. We, we say AIOOIEDOO (false concept, absurd, which cannot have reality).
We can take an example for laymen in PHYSICS. Imagine that we wish to obtain a closed enclosure and that we have at our disposal a certain number of cylindrical vessels. Evidently, an isolated vessel will never constitute a closed space, but if we close its opening with another, we will obtain a small closed enclosure. A chain of vessels would evidently form, if we associate them like on image D59-3-21, a string of closed enclosures.
Before continuing, it is necessary to specify to you further the concept of the STRAIGHT LINE. The distance from one point to another must be interpreted as a succession of IBOZOO UU whose EIDIIU (ANGLES) or to be more exact, whose IOAWOO (Note 1) differ from each other (dθ).
We were telling you that between two points we can consider not one, but an infinity of different chains of IBOZOO UU (for distinct three-dimensional referential systems). In other words, it would seem that one of them is in reality a "GEODESIC" (shortest LINE that a mobile would follow between two points of a hypersphere situated in a four-dimensional framework).
But this is insufficient. Any other arc situated on this sphere (supposing it represents a greater apparent distance) would be represented by the SAME chain of IBOZOO UU for which the denomination of "GEODESIC" would be incorrect; we have therefore preferred to qualify it as a GEOID, even if the two words have an etymology linked to the sphere on planet EARTH.
THE CONCEPT OF TIME.
The flow of time entails for the OEMII a perception of a psychological type. It is another of our illusions. Within our organism an entire complex series of periodic phenomena is produced, from blood circulation to processes like fat metabolism. If we close our eyes, we continue to perceive that TIME flows thanks to the periodic rhythmicity of these thousands of physiological phenomena.
But the concept of time for the physicist of Earth differs strongly from the perception analyzed by psychobiologists. You consider TIME as a dimension, at least it is accepted as such by the followers of the relativistic theory of EINSTEIN.
Our concept of TIME presents without a doubt new facets that are unknown to you. In the first place we cannot consider TIME as a dimension or continuum, such as you conceive it. It is not that time is quantized; it is that among other things one cannot conceive an instant as a point on the axis of time. The interval (dt), although it can tend toward zero, we could never conceive it as small as we would want it.
There exists moreover an aspect linked to this question that we strongly wish to underline. You consider that the greatest speed that a subparticle can reach in the WAAM (COSMOS) is 299,780 km/sec (speed of light) and you consider this speed as "CONSTANT".
Undoubtedly you have not incorrectly performed this measurement. Indeed: it is this same speed that we have registered ... in this same three-dimensional framework. But it is enough to change the framework or three-dimensional system for this LIMIT SPEED to vary notably up to the point where the only reference that can reflect the change of axis is precisely the measurement of this speed or constant C.
We thus define a family of values: C0 C1 C2 C3 .............. Ci ..............Cn, which extends from C0 = 0 to Cn = ∞, each one representing a defined referential system.
In the first case (speed of light null) we will tell you, by anticipating concepts, that determined phenomena that you associate with parapsychology are verified, like for example telepathic communications. The WAAM analyzed in this three-dimensional system of reference presents an absolute uniformity (you would say MAXIMAL ENTROPY). (Note 2)
In the limit case of infinite speed of light, the WAAM can be considered as non-existent, WAAM AIOOIEDOO, because it could be assimilated to an identification of all the IBOZOO UU with itself, that is to say to a single IBOZOO UU which, as we know, has no PHYSICAL reality.
You must understand this before continuing further. Even if it is difficult to accept because of your habitual logical reasoning. If you imagine in space an infinite range of small spheres or small polychrome balls, each different from the next by color and in its color by shades, you will then have a gross image of the WAAM.
Imagine now that you suddenly locate two spheres of exactly the same color and shade. By using the logical mechanisms in use you would say that if these two little balls are in different places they are different entities. In short, they are two balls, and that this plurality of spheres differentiated by color has failed lamentably.
But if we shift this reasoning to the cosmos: if you locate two IBOZOO UU which were until now distinct since their "axes" (OAWOO) were oriented in different directions, and if now you contemplate them with this perspective and the two IBOZOO UU are equal; you will then have to use another reasoning dissociated from divalent logic and affirm that these "two" IBOZOO UU are the "same" IBOZOO UU.
And indeed: a pair of IBOZOO UU which, in one referential system, appeared differentiated, it concerning for example a neutron and a pion, by changing the axes of reference, these two subparticles which in another framework appeared to the observer as if so distant that they belonged, both of them, to two different galaxies, must be considered, in another three-dimensional system, as a single IBOZOO UU. But the probability for this to happen for a pair of IBOZOO UU α and β is practically null when the new referential system differs angularly very little from the previous one.
-----------------------
We deliberately move away from the central question: we define an interval of time ΔT as a succession of IBOZOO UU whose IOAWO differ from each other by constant quantities.
That is to say that we consider in an IBOZOO UU the four "axes" (OAWOO) (pay attention to the true concept of OAWOO) that we call OAWOO UXGIGII because they represent the three-dimensional frame of reference. OAWOO UXGIGII which in reality do not exist because they are as conventional as a symbol, but they serve the mathematician to fix the position of the real OAWOO.
If the real OAWOO (arrowed U) oscillates inside this ideal framework, imagine now a new referential system of two OAWOO UXGIGII, each of them forming 90° with the previous four.
This new action framework of a real OAWOO (T) and those previously defined, define respectively SPACE and TIME.
Observe that the OAXOO (RECTOR AXES) define SPACE AND TIME possess distinct degrees of freedom. The first can traverse IOAXOO (Angles-Space) in the three different orientations that correspond to the three typical dimensions of SPACE, the second being "constrained" to move on a single plane.
Two IBOZOO UU whose axes OAXOO T1 and T2 differ by an angle such that THERE DOES NOT EXIST in the WAAM another IBOZOO UU whose T is situated between the two, will define the smallest interval of TIME. We will call this interval UIWIIOO (INSTANT).
In what does the flux of time consist? Is this flow an illusion?
Let us take any object: a fruit. Even if we have not yet developed the concept of atomic subparticles, we have on the other hand already suggested in other documents that each of the atomic components is in reality an IBOZOO UU. The fruit will be composed of water, carbohydrate, proteins and other chemical and organic components. Each time these are constituted of NIIO A (atoms) and these by subparticles: each of them is an IBOZOO UU with its OAXOO (axes) oriented in a particular manner.
When we measure on our watch an interval of a microsecond, is the orange we have in our hand identical to the one we held the instant before? Is it the same? A chemist of Earth will say: in reality it is not the same because within it, in its cells the process of metabolism has modified its characteristics.
The physicist will say: NO, its electrons will vary in position within the orbitals. But if we ask him now if these electrons, which have a different position, are the same as before; he will perhaps answer: Yes. But this is an error: a leap of the IBOZOO UU has been produced which previously represented the electron E1 of the orbital O1 of the atom A1 and it is no longer the same.
A layman in physics will understand better with this example. Imagine a frame formed by a mosaic of light bulbs.
At instant t1 the bulbs were lit to form a capital A. But an instant later, t2, the A seems to have moved. The A is the same but its components have varied. Lamps have been extinguished to light others. The illusion of continuity is the same, but the A seems to "flow" along the mosaic of lamps.
In the drawing, the second lamp has not yet extinguished before the next one begins to light up; the electron Eb of the second lamp of our example, which was only an IBOZOO UU, becomes an instant later the electron Ec of the third.
If one considers the Waam as the integration of all "past, present and future" IBOZOO UU, what we call "Me, now" we can represent it by a plane on image D59-3-30.
If ME; I find myself at a "point" P represented by an IBOZOO UU with its Tp (OAXOO) oriented vertically, what will happen tomorrow? "I" will be in T'p (another IBOZOO UU) that I will call future. (1)
But; what happens on the plane of "ME NOW" for another point distant from me by a distance d, that is to say a chain of IBOZOO UU? Quite simply that the orientation of its (OAXOO) Tu (axis of time) will be different. One cannot therefore say that there is simultaneity of TIME. One cannot therefore say for example "NOW" such a thing is produced on the planet VENUS because such a concept of simultaneity has no meaning (and ALL this for a same reference frame).
THE LIMIT SPEED.
For a same three-dimensional system, the speed of light or limit speed is constant.

Source and archive notes

Note 1: The difference between EIDIIU and IOAWOO is very important: EIDIIU is the translation in our language of the familiar concept of angle. Thus an EIDIIU would be the right angle formed by a vertical wall and the paving of a room. IOAWOO would be "THE ANGLE" formed by two OAWOO ("AXES") of two associated IBOZOO UU (S59-f11); if in both cases we use the word "ANGLE" when it concerns two concepts so different, it is because there does not exist in your language a word that approaches it and because using the word "ANGLE" helps laymen better in these questions.
Note 2: And although this state of MAXIMAL ENTROPY or DEGRADATION could exist in any other referential system where the speed of light is "NON-NULL".
Footnote (1): By saying ME, we do not refer to an OEMII (Person) composed of trillions of IBOZOO UU, but to an elementary subparticle of my organism: a proton for example. You can observe that the physicist of Earth Einstein conceived a universe which in a certain way is not so different from the one we are describing to you. You must only replace the "SPACE-TIME CONTINUUM" with "discrete or discontinuous set of IBOZOO UU". Moreover Einstein was in agreement with us on other essential points. But Einstein ignored that what he considered as the CONSTANT OF THE SPEED OF LIGHT is only so in one of the possible reference systems.. He ignored that there were other three-dimensional frameworks than the one familiar to us. Our conception of the WAAM explains certain contradictions that the physicists of Earth believed to find between quantum Mechanics and relativistic theory, as we will explain in following documents.
Archivist Note: (It seems that in what follows the typist replaced the "W" of OAWOO and "IOAWOO" used until now with "X"s).
Translator Note: "orbitales" instead of "orbites".
Translator Note: "discret ou discontinu"
