The lines of force depicted, move at right angles to the center of the illustrated system - and at right angles to a considered archimedes spiral, which is more a logarithmically shaped spiral (of 'phi'), in consideration that we're talking about an accelerating spiral when subjecting the inclusion of a spiral in the presentation. I don't know how else to compare the illustrations to an Archimedes spiral...

I don't understand enough about your second query to respond to it, Nobody.


Although 'the cause of negative inertia' is mentioned as an afterthought in the post, I consider it a very significant, apparently unprecedented point; worthy of a discussion of itself. Am considering another post, dedicated to that issue - what are your thoughts on the identification of the cause of negative inertia? Are there any precedents that you know of?

Thanks for the compliment, best regards to you and yours,

(George Berkeley, 1710) ... lay the beginning in a distinct explication of what is meant by thing, reality, existence: for in vain shall we dispute concerning the real existence of things, or pretend to any knowledge thereof, so long as we have not fixed the meaning of those words.
