         Dear
          Dr. B*****,  Because
          of hypoxia and limited work schedule, I am unable to take the time
          your very nice letter truly deserves, but will try to give a quick
          response covering some important points.  Always
          in any endeavor we have the "accursed necessity for the identity
          of opposites," which was the bane of the philosophers and now is
          the bane of the mathematicians and physicists. 
          Venn diagram "proofs" so widely used, e.g., simply
          "eat themselves" if the same  Aristotelian logic is applied
          to them (the third law eliminates any and all boundaries, so one
          cannot even have a boundary between A and not-A, e.g. or a boundary to
          define the "universe" that is utilized in the Venn
          diagrams.).  I liked your
          approach of using a physics model to derive a logic; actually the
          Aristotelian system is derived (unwittingly) from perfect fitting to
          the single photon interaction.  Aristotelian
          logic is at best incomplete, and if limited to just the three laws, it
          is wrong, as every boundary already demonstrates. 
          The other problem is that few if any logicians seem to have
          noticed that their very thinking, observing, perceiving, etc. are
          themselves processes (certainly at least in the time-domain)  and
          the mental output of any of them is the effect of a set of temporal
          operations, most of which are simply "assumed" as if
          infinitely correct.  To
          correct and extend Aristotelian logic, one simply  numbers
          and accounts for each "perception" or
          "observation" snapshot (there is no "A" but an
          "observed A" or "perceived A", e.g.)  and
          suddenly one can see how opposites can be opposites in one case and
          identities in another.  A
          trivial example is normal vision used to perceive a black marble and a
          dark red marble, side by side.  The
          person with color vision has no difficulty distinguishing them, so he
          can identify them as an "A" and a "not-A". 
          On the other hand, a totally color-blind person would be unable
          to distinguish them.  And
          so on.  If we then
          perceive both the red and black marbles with our "color
          vision" turned on, they are not identical. 
          But if we go back to perceive them again, with
          our color vision turned off, the same entities previously
          found nonidentical are now "identical" with respect to the
          decision algorithm applied by that perception operation.  The
          final clue is that identity is not immutable, but is the result of a
          decision operation (algorithm) performed by comparing two (or more)
          former individual perceptions in perception or observation "all
          at once".  The very
          act of comparing (multiple, simultaneous) is a violation of the third
          Aristotelian law "A or not-A" exclusively, which allows only
          a single observation or perception. 
          Again Aristotelian logic eats itself, for it does not even
          allow the comparison necessary to decide "identity" or
          "nonidentity".  So
          it is not nature that has the problem with wave-particle duality in
          physics; it is our archaic way of thinking and an overly simplified
          logic.  Pursuing
          this approach, I came up with a five-law logic as an extension to
          Aristotelian logic.  With
          that logic, there then become logical solutions to essentially all the
          paradoxes in Aristotelian 3-law logic.  
          This was of much practical use to me, along the way in free
          energy systems and elsewhere.  Here's
          a little trick.  Working
          in Minkowski spacetime, take some 3-spatial energy and compress it by
          the factor c-squared.  Now
          what can be done with it?  If
          we leave it there in 3-space, in x,y,z, it becomes what we call
          "mass".   If
          we move it and place it over on the fourth Minkowski axis, ict, it
          becomes what we call "time". 
          There is only one variable on that fourth axis, and that is t. 
          Further, Lee already showed that time is a dynamic variable
          across all physics, from quantum to universal realms.  So
          time is intensely compressed spatial energy, and has essentially the
          same energy density as mass.  Indeed,
          we found that all EM energy in 3-space is simply transduced and
          decompressed "time-energy".  In
          quantum field theory, there are four polarizations of the photon, two
          being in x and y, which are transverse polarizations (as are
          combinations of the two).  Thirdly,
          there is the longitudinal photon in 3-space. 
          Fourth,  there is
          the time-polarized or "scalar" photon. 
          Interestingly, Mandl and Shaw, Quantum Field Theory,
          1984 argue very strongly that neither the scalar nor longitudinal
          photons is individually
          observable, but their combination
          (interestingly, the combination would have spin 2 and be a graviton)
          is observable as the instantaneous quantum potential. 
          One can transform this into wave language and representation,
          and then correctly reinterpret Whittaker's 1903 decomposition of the
          scalar potential by inserting the always-assumed ubiquitous
          "interacting unit point static charge" at any point in space
          and accounting for it.  In
          that case, a very strange thing emerges: All 3-space EM energy, at any
          point in space, comes there from the time domain, and involves that
          "combination" interaction of a time-polarized photon with
          the "assumed source charge" prior to observation. After
          observation (which is a d/dt operator imposed upon the ongoing 4-space
          interaction), time is destroyed and one observes the longitudinal
          photon or wave in 3-space.  This
          introduces a new kind of "charge" or energetic excitation:
          time-charging or time-energy charging. 
          The scalar photon and time-polarized EM wave are heavily
          involved in such energetic excitation. We were able to propose a
          solution and precise mechanism generating the transductions of cold
          fusion, using that concept.  Indeed,
          we wrote the specific nuclear reactions for production of the excess
          deuterium, tritium, and alpha particles.  We
          found that the body's cellular regeneration system uses a very similar
          mechanism involving time-charging (and time-polarized EM wave pumping,
          as an extension to phase conjugate optics) in its healing process. 
          Using this, we were able also to explain and give the
          mechanisms for the Priore work, Becker's work, some of Popp's work,
          Kaznacheyev's experiments, Rife's microscope for amplifying the
          virtual state into observable state, etc. 
          We were also to uncover the scalar electromagnetic nature of
          mind and mind operations and the coupling mechanisms that couple the
          mind to the body and the body to the mind, respectively. 
          These mechanisms are testable and engineerable; sadly, the
          KGB/Russians have long weaponized this area most heavily.  With
          this, I was able in 2000 to resolve the long-vexing problem of the
          source charge; i.e., the problem of the fields and potentials and
          their energy (reaching across all space) associated with the source
          charge.  Look at it this
          way.  Suddenly dissipate a
          little energy to form a dipole, right in the lab. 
          Along a radial line reaching to infinity, in this
          gedankenexperiment we have already placed perfect and infinitely
          sensitive detectors, at regular "one-second of light travel
          time" distance.  One
          second after formation of the dipole, the first instrument reads --
          and the  reading remains,
          showing that this was not a pulse that passed, but the front of a
          continuously current of EM energy. 
          At the end of the second second, the second instrument reads,
          and so on.  One year
          later, the instrument a lightyear distant reads, and that reading
          remains.  Further, the
          energy is still flowing outward in all directions at the speed of
          light.  In
          that year, that little dipole for which we paid very little energy
          dissipation to make, has changed the energy density in a volume of
          space a lightyear in radius.  And
          it is still pouring out EM energy in 3-space in all directions,
          unceasingly.  Mandl
          and Shaw almost had it, but forgot that ubiquitously assumed unit
          point charge which does the "combining" between an incoming
          scalar photon and an outgoing longitudinal photon. 
          They dwelt upon the scalar and longitudinal photons "as if
          observed" which right away is a non sequitur because observation
          invokes that charge and that interaction. 
          But their work has great merit indeed, when we add in that
          missing charge.   The
          scalar photon becomes the nonobservable "cause", which is
          absorbed in an interaction with a "previously observed"
          (frozen 3--space charge snapshot) charge, is transduced into 3-space
          energy, and re-radiated by the charge into 3-space. 
          This is why the source charge can continuously emit EM energy
          in all directions in 3-space, without any 3-space energy input.  A
          trivial observation:  Certainly
          the charge and the dipole must be accepted as elementary Maxwellian
          systems; one has no electrodynamics without them. 
          But we input only a little energy to initially make the dipole,
          and then we input no more.  Yet
          the dipole poured out (and continued to pour out) vastly more energy
          than the feeble amount we utilized as our input.  Either
          the dipole is creating energy from nothing, or else it has to have an
          energy input.  Either way,
          3-space EM energy flow conservation is dead, because the dipole
          violates it, as is easily shown experimentally.  So
          the previously unresolved source charge problem is important.  Either
          we must explain where the energy comes from, with it coming from
          outside 3-space, or the conservation of energy law is dead. 
          Happily, energy conservation is okay. 
          What has happened is that the charge (I showed how to treat it
          as a set of dipoles, following well-known quantum electrodynamics)
          exhibits and is a broken 3-symmetry (and also a broken t-symmetry)
          simultaneously.  The
          broken symmetry of a dipole (of opposite charges) was one of the
          discoveries for which Lee and Yang received the Nobel Prize in 1957.  This
          led to many advances, such as the fact that every charge (special set
          of composite dipoles) and every dipole already involve simultaneously
          broken symmetry in energy flow in both 3-space and the fourth
          Minkowski axis (time domain), but exhibit a higher symmetry in
          4-space, between incoming energy in the time domain and outgoing
          energy in 3-space.  Once
          a charge or dipole is "produced", if let alone it will thus
          exhibit giant and continuous negentropy, so long as the charge or
          dipole exists.  And
          the energy is extracted directly from the known particle physics
          broken symmetry of the dipole in its exchange with the active vacuum
          virtual photon flux, so the solution is consistent with the findings
          (both theoretical and experimental) of particle physics. 
          It is also consistent with quantum field theory, as shown by
          Mandl and Shaw, e.g.,  It
          is also consistent with a corrected reinterpretation of Whittaker's
          1903 decomposition of the scalar potential into a harmonic set of
          longitudinal EM phase conjugate wavepairs.  This
          has had many applications in our work, and has a great many more we
          have not yet worked out.  It
          is far easier to engineer negentropic systems (just make a dipole, pay
          for it once, then leave it alone and do not destroy it) than the
          present entropic systems we almost universally engineer. 
          It has led us to legitimate EM mechanisms whereby the
          electrical power system becomes an open system far from equilibrium
          with its active environment.  As
          is well-known, such systems permissibly violate classical
          (equilibrium) thermodynamics.  Instead,
          they obey the thermodynamics of open systems far from equilibrium in
          their energetic exchange with their active environment. 
          As such, they are permitted to exhibit five "magic"
          functions:  Such a system
          can (1) self-order, (2) self-rotate or self-oscillate, (3) output more
          energy than the operator must input (the excess is freely received
          from the active environment, via the broken symmetry), (4) self-power
          both itself and its load simultaneously (all the energy is freely
          received from the active environment, via the broken symmetry), and
          (5) exhibit negentropy.  Every
          charge and dipole in the universe already performs all five functions,
          and those that are in original matter have been doing it for some 14
          billion years.  There is
          absolutely no problem at all in extracting all the EM energy flow one
          wishes, directly from the active vacuum, using a simple charge or a
          simple dipole.  That our
          dipolar circuits then are deliberately wired up to destroy their own
          dipoles, by ubiquitous use of the closed current loop circuit (which
          uses half the energy caught in the circuit to destroy the dipole) is
          probably the most stupid thing that science and engineering has ever
          done in its entire history.  So
          one must keep one's sense of humor. 
          There is not a single university in the West that even teaches
          what powers an electrical circuit or an electrical power distribution
          line.  It is not the
          generator or battery, which expend all their energy just to
          continually force their own internal charges apart, to restore their
          source dipole -- that the closed loop circuit is specifically designed
          to keep destroying faster than it powers the load.  It
          does not have to be done that way. 
          So we have used such principles to produce a prototype
          successful laboratory experiment which does exhibit items (1), (3),
          and (5) of those five magic functions of open dissipative systems far
          from equilibrium.  We have
          moved our research on the motionless electromagnetic generator (MEG)
          to the National Materials Science Lab of the National Academy of
          Sciences in a friendly foreign country (we are keeping secret the name
          of that nation).  There to
          our pleasant surprise we found excellent scientists already utilizing
          higher symmetry electrodynamics, already aware of the serious flaws
          and errors in the standard U(1) classical EM theory, etc. 
          We also found scientists who understand that the MEG is not a
          transformer, although built like one. 
          As an example, it is not necessary to switch any flux at all in
          the MEG core, to achieve overunity operation.  There
          are certain novel phenomena involved in all overunity systems,
          however.  (I have been
          associated with  some five
          legitimate COP>1.0 systems, and all exhibited this phenomenology
          that is not in electrical engineering at all). 
          The overunity state is an excited state, and nature provides a
          special decay mechanism to restore equilibrium and underunity. 
          A close colleague and I, after some years of struggle, have
          succeeded in solving that problem, and even in transducing the decay
          mechanism into a powering mechanism. 
          We have filed the first-ever patent on the novel process
          required to close-loop an overunity EM power system, into stable and
          sustained COP>1.0 operation.  Several
          other patents are likely to come out of it.  Meanwhile,
          our MEG should complete its research and go on the world market about
          a year from now.  We
          have two rigorous papers on the MEG, which are:  M.W.
          Evans, P.K. Anastasovski, T. E. Bearden et al., "Explanation of
          the Motionless Electromagnetic Generator with O(3)
          Electrodynamics," Found. Phys. Lett., 14(1), Feb 2001, p. 87-94;
          ----- "Explanation of the Motionless Electromagnetic Generator by
          Sachs's Theory of Electrodynamics," Found. Phys. Lett., 14(4),
          Aug. 2001, p. 387-393.  As
          you might expect, these papers were vigorously refereed.  Any
          critic who applies U(1) classical EM theory -- where the Lorentz
          symmetrical regauging already discards all that vast set of Maxwellian
          systems that are in disequilibrium with their active vacuum -- is
          simply naïve and very unknowledgeable. 
          Such systems are not in his model at all, which only chooses
          systems obeying classical thermodynamics with its infamous second law. 
          To call open dissipative systems "perpetual motion
          machine" is to call a windmill, a sailboat, and a watermill
          "perpetual motion nonsense". 
          It is rather stupid on the critic's part, and such a scientist
          knows so little he is not worth wasting time to answer. 
          Instead, he should read the Nobel Prize citation to Prigogine
          in 1977.  The
          best addition I can make to "normal circuit theory" used by
          engineers, is that their EM model a priori assumes (erroneously) a
          flat local spacetime and an inert vacuum (or without net exchange). 
          Both assumptions have long been falsified in particle physics
          and general relativity.  So
          to give a complete analysis, one must include the missing "two
          active environments that actually do energetically exchange with the
          circuit or system.  This
          leads to the supersystem concept. 
          The supersystem consists of three parts: (1) the
          electromagnetic system and its dynamics, (2) the local active vacuum
          and its dynamics, and (3) the local curvatures of spacetime and their
          dynamics.  No system
          analysis is complete until an analysis of the supersystem has been
          performed.  Immediately
          one sees why one can have a COP>1.0 Maxwellian system. 
          If there is broken symmetry between the system and the other
          two components, then the system is an open system far from
          equilibrium.  It is not
          bound by classical thermodynamics at all, but can exhibit any or all
          of those previously listed five "magic" functions.  There
          are many mechanisms available to utilize in developing open
          dissipative EM systems in disequilibrium with their other two
          supersystem components.  In
          our paper, M.W. Evans, P.K. Anastasovski, T.E. Bearden et al.,
          "Classical Electrodynamics Without the Lorentz Condition:
          Extracting Energy from the Vacuum," Physica Scripta, 61(5), May
          2000, p. 513-517, we give a dozen or more such promising mechanisms.  Very
          much appreciate your wide-ranging interests and work. 
          If possible, please put a few sharp young grad students or a
          post-doc or two on the "Theory of Legitimate COP>1.0 EM
          systems as open systems far from equilibrium in their
          supersystem" or some such.  The
          necessary proofs and mechanisms are already there in physics, just
          needing to be drawn together with the proper higher group symmetry
          electrodynamics.  Very
          best wishes,  Tom
