getic reality so organically persuasive as to induce its spontaneous
identification in the communicating minds of men by the vital
pronoun "she." Such man-conceived dynamic "shes" are par-
ented by a whole inventory of newly evolving technical poten-
tials, which individually break through barriers of yesterday's
practicable limits, all married, by competent integration and
intellect wrought with the whole history of acquired ship build-
ing and handling experiences.

In this intuitive formulating the esthetic perspicacity -- sen-
sorially tunable by man -- is specifically trained to process those
borderline nuances of dimensional ratios of the envisioned sys-
tem's interacting sub-system component functions.

So invisible are the important teleologic initiation processes
of the designer's intellect, yet so dramatically visible are the
sequitur processes and systematic phases of translation into
reality of such ship-design-evolution envisioning, and so scien-
tifically prosaic are that envisioning's ratioed criteria of required
performance improvements per units of invested resources -- over
any previous results of undertakings within the respective cate-
gories -- that it has been erroneously predicted throughout the
original years of industrialization that the science, technology
and industrial evolution must eventuate inherently in a vast
stereotyped monotony.

In historical refutation of such inadequate surmise, it is now
in startling evidence that no evolutionary era of biological muta-
tions has ever proven so prolific in accelerated multiplication of
species, types and sub-variety nuances and regenerative by-prod-
uct aesthetic stimulation as that which now accrues to omni-
medium ship architectures.

I will here trace briefly a forty-year sequence of episodes which
quite possibly were delay detonated from delighted watching in
1904 of the jet-propelled white jelly fish in the clear Maine
water. This experience inspired my push-pole propulsion device
probably by the innate ability of children to practice, without
knowledge of the mathematics discovered in generalized patterns
and formalized by maturer minds -- the spontaneous teleological
inversion -- or transformation of relative action-and-reaction be-
haviors.
