“3. A basically wrong formula on which our civilization rests, is
the cause of all the periodical collapses, wars and revolutions.
“4. The old system was built on animal ‘space-binding’ standards,
and human ‘time-binding’ impulses were, all the time, in
rebellion.
“5. As the theory of gravitation and the calculus made engineers
and mathematicians masters of inanimate nature, so these tangible
and incontestable definitions give them a positive base which will
enable them to approach and solve human living problems, by
establishing the mathematical fact that man is man, not an animal.
“6. All of those who are blinded by traditions and refuse to
investigate, or to know these mathematical truths, are a danger to
humanity in directly helping to obscure issues, and in helping to
maintain the faulty structure which, as in the past, is bound to
collapse again and again in the future.
“7. The duty of mathematically thinking people is to throw such
light on this problem as will stop the stupid, or willfully
destructive, and show whether they are working for, or against,
mankind.
“8. For the ‘time-binding’ class of life, it is obvious then that
in this dimension, ‘time-binding’ is the natural law, and, if
understood and analysed, it is the highest human aim.
“9. Such ‘natural laws’ as ‘survival of the fittest’ for animals,
which is the ‘survival of the fittest in space,’ result in fight,
or the survival of the strongest; whereas such a law to be a
NATURAL LAW FOR HUMANS, must be in the human dimension which
obviously would be the ‘Survival of the fittest in TIME,’
resulting in the survival of the best.
“10. All known facts must be brought to the light, to be summed
up, and correlated by mathematicians and engineers with the
strictest attention to dimensionality.
“11. All of our ideas have to be revised; the animal
‘space-binding’ standards must be rejected as dangerous and
destructive, must be replaced by ‘time-binding’ standards, which
will correspond to the natural impulses and NATURAL LAWS for
humans.
“12. The minds of mathematicians and engineers are by education
the first to see the far reaching importance of the facts
disclosed by these definitions, and just this realization will
bring about the readjustment of values in life to a human
dimension, wherein pending revolutions and wars could be turned
into evolution, destruction into construction, discord into accord
of a common aim.
