Text: "The terms "neutral attraction", "neutral affinity", "negative attraction", or "polar negative attraction", are employed to express the property of a mode of vibration to direct its components towards such center. "As no current or flow of force can be composed of one mode of vibration only, but must always be composed of three modes uniting in varying thirds, we have1 x 2 x 3 = 6 as the total possible forms of sympathetic coincidence, or, to speak in ordinary terms, there can be six; and six only, possible forms of individualized being. These are what Keely calls the six orders of atomic subdivision, or orders of vibratory motion, and he names them as follows: I. Molecular II. Inter-Molecular III. Atomic IV. Inter-Atomic V. Etheric VI. Inter-etheric "In this list forms of matter are arranged in the mathematical sequence of the rapidity of the oscillations of their constituent members; the proportion being proved by experiment to be as follows for the molecular orders: 1 : 3 : 9 : 27 : 81 : 243 ... 1x3=3 3x3=9 3x9=27 "The arithmetical progression changes in the atomic orders to a geometrical progression as follows: 3 : 9 : 81 : 6561 : 43046721, etc. 3^1 3^2 3^3 3^4 "This same method of progression is believed to hold in all the orders of vibrations above the molecular, and soon passes into mathematical infinity.
