The Generation of ÆLECTRA

Disclaimer: The following images represent a concept, not a fully mature science, and are only intended as a means to indicate the possibilities of this type of orbital mechanics. Other variations may prove to be more correct and reflect the real world  more precisely. Others are encouraged to explore these configurations personally, hopefully in more depth and detail.
The series of illustrations below were created with KnotPlot (Software by Rob Scharien). To view these images animated in real time, and to be able to manipulate the parameters, it is suggested that the reader download a copy of KnotPlot, which is a shareware offering. Click the link below to go to the download site.

KnotPlot is an excellent program designed to analyze and untie complex knots, but also works wonderfully to simulate the type of orbit that is suggested by ÆTheoRæm. It is worth the trouble to learn how KnotPlot works (which should take about an hour) to be able to try out the example below. Enter the values in the table below and then click CREATE. Vary the settings as shown below and then clock GO.

Basic Loop

 The ælectra circuit begins when ætha are compressed together at the center of a galaxy. Since they follow the vortex pattern, they must fall into a small spiral vortex where the dimensions of the ætha affect the allowable geometries. In this example, there are 6 lobes to the spiral, and it rejoins at the 5 th loop. The blue connecting links are shown for clarity only, as there is no actual connection between aetha.

Collapsing Loops

 As the pressure of the external vortex increases, the loops must assume the most compact arrangement.

Hint: This collapse mode takes a few minutes to naturally find this configuration in the animated display.

Compacting Loops

 The ætha continue to reduce space until they are at an equilibrium with the surrounding isotropic medium.

Hint: This is best seen in KnotPlot, as the motions of the particles is too complex to explain here.

Minimum Energy Configuration

 In the minimum energy configuration, the ætha all act as shepheards for each other, and are kept in rotation by impacts with the external medium.

Particle Motion in Space

 This color coded trace of the orbital path shows that three inward facing lobes have occupied the center, whereas every alternate interior lobe has occupied an intermediate distance.

KnotPlot Comments:

This orbital knot illustrates how non-trivial knots are made in the aether. Once the basics of KnotPlot are mastered, try varying a few parameters to see the results. Some decay modes are apparent only after letting the program run for a very long time, which can be seen by setting dstep larger (time quicker).

Turn the view window by click and dragging the mouse, and it will be obvious that this particle is very stable, and the decay cannot be demonstrated in KnotPlot.

Use the CREATE button to regenerate the particle. The animation can be stopped at any time by clicking the GO button.
