Physical circumstances affecting the water figures.
Slow variation of the lunar phase velocity.
.1 Another factor considered is the variation of the moon phase angular velocity.
.2 Much better when that variation is slow. Which usually occurs near the points a, b, c, d of the sidereal month.
See the calendar of the moon phase velocity in the “insert C”.
Triggered at discrete critical values.
.3 The water figures is triggered at critical discrete values of angular movement, those of the moon phase velocity.
.4 A slow variation of this velocity would enhance the units of time available, for the configurational reactions in water, to take place, per single discrete value.
.5 If the variation of the moon phase velocity is very slow, and, at the same time, no water figure appears, that may last a long time.
.6 However, it is also true that, in such a circumstance, if the water figures appear, there is a high probability that they are distinctly evident, and that they last even several minutes, ceteris paribus.
Like with an old fashion radio set.
.7 It is something analogous to how you tune in an old fashion radio set, when you turn the knob across an entire frequency band.
.8 If you rotate it slowly, and linger on a definite used frequency, for a minute or two, you would have the chance to listen to bits of conversation, to some music notes, etc.
.9 Instead, if you turn it in a swift manner, at the rapid passage of each “used frequency”, corresponding to a radio station, it will manifest itself by a short noise, without any usefulness for you.
See phenomenon at a slow motion.
See, on the next page, what may occur when the moon phase velocity lingers on a critical value, which may occur at the points a, b, c, d of the moon phase velocity cycle.
Also in grains.
.10 Later, on page 2.5, whose subject is the interpretation of the “experiment E” on grains, we will be considering the same modality of “syntonisation”, mutatis mutandis.
.11 The restoring of viability in grains occurs, above all, when the variation of the moon phase velocity is very slow.
.12 Though, between the two phenomena, there is a crucial difference.
.13 As for the grains, it is about the increasing of fluidity in EFAs, by means of dissipative processes, which can occur only with the increasing of the moon phase velocity.
.14 As for the water figures, they get their shapes, does not matter whether the moon phase velocity is increasing, or decreasing.
The spatioles, areas of focused action.
.15 The water figures - though they may appear at all times - are more probable, and better outlined, in the places with regard to which the Moon (or the Sun) reaches given positions.
.16 These places are here called spatioles, mobile spots within a tide basin, where the action of each generating mass is best focused.
