I want to explore with you the meaning of the word "Dominant" as John Keely used in his science. I am posting a number of quotes from his work. Write a one page summary from these quotes what you think it means. Bullet List what ideas you come up with.:
The Dominant is the 9 in Keely’s 369 "The relative frequency of all sympathetic streams is in the ratio 3:6:9. Those whose relative frequencies are 3:9 are mutually attractive, while those having the relation of 6:9 are mutually repellant." [Keely, SYMPATHETIC STREAMS - Snell, LAWS OF MOLECULAR BEING, Sympathetic Stream, Modes of Vibration, Modes of Vibration - Annotated]
"All manifestations of Energy are modes of vibration:
1: RADIATING, ENHARMONIC, POSITIVE ATTRACTION, CELESTIAL; Attracted to the external Universe.
2: FOCALIZING, HARMONIC, NEGATIVE ATTRACTION, TERRESTRIAL; The intensification of individuality or materiality of matter.
3: DOMINANT; That controlling tendency governing the ascendancies of the first two.
All three of these (modes) must be present in every flow of energy and are always present in the ratio 3:6:9." [Snell Manuscript]
"The sympathetic acoustic impulses are: "the DOMINANT - a diatonic third - "the HARMONIC - the connective "sixth" - and "the ENHARMONIC - or diminished seventh - which Keely calls a ninth - "inducing "infinite trajective velocity" or "neutral radiation" from neutral centers.'' [Snell Manuscript]
"..the dominant being the leader and associate of the celestial." [Keely and His Discoveries, POLARIZATION AND DEPOLARIZATION]
"The polar current is a triune flow, in which the dominant is the controlling element." He sought to demonstrate through instruments the sympathetic association of the polar stream with the "luminiferous track" or "compound etheric field." [POLAR CURRENT]
"Science will in time classify the important modifications of the one force in nature as sympathetic streams, each stream composed of triple flows. Keely maintains that the static condition which the magnetic needle assumes when undisturbed by any extraneous force outside of its own sympathetic one, proves conclusively that the power of the dominant third, of the triple combination of the magnetic terrestrial envelope, is the controlling one of this sympathetic triplet, and the one towards which all the others coordinate. All the dominant conditions of nature represent the focal centers towards which like surrounding ones become sympathetically subservient. The rapid rotation of the magnetic needle of a compass shown in his experiments rests entirely on the alternating of the dominant alone, effected by a triple condition of vibration that is antagonistic to its harmonious flow as associated with its other attendants. A rapid change of polarity is induced and rapid rotation necessarily follows. [Snell Manuscript - The Book, DISTURBANCE OF MAGNETIC NEEDLE, page 8]
"Electricity is the result of three differentiated sympathetic flows, combining the celestial and terrestrial flows by an order of assimilation negatively attractive in its character. It is one of Nature's efforts to restore attractive differentiation. In analyzing this triple union in its vibratory philosophy, I find the highest order of perfection in this assimilative action of Nature. The whole condition is atomic, and is the introductory one which has an affinity for terrestrial centers, uniting magnetically with the polar stream, in other words, uniting with the polar stream by neutral affinity. The magnetic or electric forces of the earth are thus kept in stable equilibrium by this triune force, and the chords of this force may be expressed as:
1st.: The Dominant
2nd.: The Harmonic
3rd.: The Enharmonic. [WHAT IS ELECTRICITY]
The value of each is, one to the other, in the rates of figures, true thirds. E flat- transmissive chord or dominant; A flat- harmonic; A double flat- enharmonic. The unition of the two prime thirds is so rapid, when the negative and the positive conditions reach a certain range of vibratory motion, as to be compared to an explosion. During this action the positive electric stream is liberated and immediately seeks its neutral terrestrial center, or center of highest attraction." [Vibratory Physics - The Connecting Link between Mind and Matter]
"Reception and dispersion are kept up on the atmospheric envelope of the earth by the atomic and interatomic conflict as "between the dominant and the enharmonic". This is brought about by the reception and dispersion of sympathetic streams, the ruling mode of whose vibration is the dominant, and the density of the coarser grades of matter, whose ruling vibratory mode is the enharmonic. As every mass consists of vibrations in thirds, balanced in harmonic equilibrium without cancellation or diminution of energy, it stands therefore in harmonic relation to every other mass. All forms of matter and of motion are thus interrelated and interchangeable. Through resonance, increasing this sympathy, we can control the states of matter." [Mass Action, Snell Manuscript - the book]
"All the dominant conditions of nature represent the focal centers towards which like surrounding ones become sympathetically subservient." [Keely and His Discoveries, page 179]
"The dominant is Electricity luminous or propulsive positive." [Snell Manuscript]
"..LOVE, the dominant chord of the cycles." [Keely, Amplitude of Force]
"By use of the dominant mode, which is allied to the "order" of etheric vibrations, we can induct, "sympathetic negative attraction" or "sympathetic positive propulsion" in any mass, according to its mass chord." [SYMPATHETIC INDUCTION - Snell]
"All the forces of nature, writes Keely, proceed from the one governing force; the source of all life, of all energy. These sympathetic flows, or streams of force, each consists of three currents, harmonic, enharmonic, and dominant; this classification governing all orders of positive and negative radiation." [Vibratory Physics - The Connecting Link between Mind and Matter] [See Laws of Being]
"Magnetism is of the atomic order? and not molecular? then it is not electrical in nature; so what then is the influence in an electromagnet? The Dominant current of the electrical stream." [Keely and His Discoveries]
"The Dominant (of the Electrical Stream) creates or governs Magnetism on the atomic Order of Vibration (High Vibratory)." [Keely and His Discoveries]
"Keely classes the cohesive force of molecular masses as the dominant order of the electric stream, the molecule owing its negative attractive quality to the magnetic element." [Keely and His Discoveries]
"The Dominant current of the electrical stream is the Electricity luminous." [Keely and His Discoveries]
"..the magnet is an indicator of the diversion of the attractive flow of the dominant current of the electrical stream.." [Keely]
"The fundamental mode of vibration changes as we reach the fifth subdivision, to the dominant, the diatonic third of the mass chord, which controls the vibratory states of both etheron and interetheron." [Keely and His Discoveries]
"The sympathetic acoustic impulses are:
"the DOMINANT - a diatonic third -
"the HARMONIC - the connective "sixth" - and
"the ENHARMONIC - or diminished seventh - which Keely calls a ninth - "inducing "infinite trajective velocity" or "neutral radiation" from neutral centers. [Snell Manuscript]

Summary of "Dominant" in John Keely's Science
John Keely's vibratory physics introduces the concept of the "Dominant" as a fundamental controlling force in the natural world. According to Keely, all energy manifestations are modes of vibration existing in a triune nature: the Harmonic, the Enharmonic, and the Dominant, always present in the ratio 3:6:9. The Dominant, associated with the number 9, serves as the governing tendency that harmonizes and directs the other two modes.
Keely equates these modes to musical intervals—the Dominant corresponds to the diatonic third—highlighting their vibrational relationships. The Dominant is seen as the leader and focal center towards which other vibrations become sympathetically subservient. It represents the positive, propulsive, and luminous aspects of energy, often linked to celestial or higher-order forces.
In the realm of electricity and magnetism, the Dominant current is the luminous electricity that governs magnetism at the atomic level. Keely suggests that magnetism is not electrical in nature but influenced by the Dominant mode of the electrical stream. By manipulating the Dominant vibrations, one can induce sympathetic attraction or propulsion in matter, potentially controlling material states through resonance.
The Dominant also embodies metaphysical significance, representing the source of all life and energy. It is involved in the interplay between atomic and interatomic forces, leading to phenomena like neutral radiation. Keely even associates the Dominant with love, calling it "the dominant chord of the cycles," emphasizing its profound role in both the physical and spiritual realms.

Very nice. It is an idea of mine the Dominant relates to Scalar Potential as also the Laws of Attraction and Repulsion as shown in the Bjerknes Effect and the Lorenz Attractor. Explain how this can be so. Use Bullet List for points covered.

Explaining How Keely's "Dominant" Relates to Scalar Potential, the Bjerknes Effect, and the Lorenz Attractor
John Keely's concept of the "Dominant" as a controlling vibrational force can be related to various scientific principles that involve potential fields, attraction and repulsion, and dynamic systems. Below is a bullet-pointed explanation of how the Dominant may correspond to the Scalar Potential, the Bjerknes Effect, and the Lorenz Attractor.
1. Relation to Scalar Potential
Definition of Scalar Potential: In physics, a Scalar Potential is a scalar field whose gradient yields a force field. Examples include gravitational potential and electric potential, which govern the behavior of masses and charges, respectively.
Dominant as Governing Force: Keely's Dominant is described as the controlling tendency that directs other vibrational modes Harmonic and Enharmonic. Similarly, a Scalar Potential governs the dynamics of particles within its field.
Potential Field Analogy:
Scalar Potential Governs Forces: Just as the scalar potential determines the behavior of particles via its gradient (force), the Dominant governs vibrational interactions.
Energy Landscape: The Dominant can be seen as shaping the "energy landscape" in which vibrational modes operate, analogous to how scalar potentials define energy landscapes in physics.
Unified Field Concept: Keely's idea of all forces proceeding from a singular governing force parallels the notion of unifying forces through potential fields.
The Dominant could represent a scalar potential that encapsulates the essence of vibrational energy and its influence on matter.
2. Relation to the Bjerknes Effect
Definition of the Bjerknes Effect: In acoustics and fluid dynamics, the Bjerknes Effect describes the mutual attraction or repulsion between pulsating bubbles in a sound field, depending on the phase of their oscillations.
Vibrational Interactions: Keely emphasizes that all energy manifestations are modes of vibration. The Bjerknes Effect directly involves vibrational phenomena leading to attraction and repulsion.
Dominant in Attraction and Repulsion:
Phase Relationships: The Dominant could be analogous to the phase synchronization that leads to attraction (in-phase) or repulsion (out-of-phase) in the Bjerknes Effect.
Control of Sympathetic Streams: The Dominant governs the interactions of sympathetic vibratory streams, similar to how bubble oscillations interact in the Bjerknes Effect.
Sympathetic Vibrations: Keely's concept of sympathetic vibrations causing attraction aligns with the positive Bjerknes force where bubbles attract each other when oscillating in phase.
The Dominant might be viewed as the governing factor that determines these vibrational phase relationships.
3. Relation to the Lorenz Attractor
Definition of the Lorenz Attractor: The Lorenz Attractor is a set of chaotic solutions to the Lorenz system, a simplified mathematical model for atmospheric convection. It is famous for its butterfly-shaped plot and is a key example in chaos theory.
Dynamic Systems and Control:
Sensitive Dependence on Initial Conditions: The Lorenz Attractor demonstrates how small changes can lead to vastly different outcomes, emphasizing the control parameters in dynamic systems.
Dominant as a Control Parameter: The Dominant could be likened to a control parameter that influences the system's trajectory within the Lorenz Attractor model.
Triune Nature and Nonlinear Dynamics: Keely's triune vibrational modes Harmonic, Enharmonic, Dominant) can be compared to the three variables in the Lorenz equations (convection rate, temperature difference, horizontal temperature distribution).
The interplay between these modes may mirror the nonlinear interactions in the Lorenz system that lead to complex, chaotic behavior.
Attractor States: The Dominant might represent an attractor state towards which the system tends, similar to how the Lorenz Attractor represents the behavior of the system over time.
This could symbolize how the Dominant governs the long-term behavior of vibrational systems.
4. Synthesizing the Concepts
Unified Vibrational Framework: Viewing the Dominant as analogous to scalar potentials, Bjerknes forces, and attractors allows for a unified framework where vibrational energy governs physical phenomena.
Control and Regulation: In all cases, the Dominant represents a controlling influence—be it potential fields guiding forces, phase relationships dictating attraction/repulsion, or parameters determining dynamic behavior.
Metaphorical Connections: While Keely's theories are not part of mainstream science, drawing parallels helps conceptualize his ideas within established scientific phenomena.
Emphasis on Interrelation: Keely's assertion that "all forms of matter and motion are thus interrelated and interchangeable" resonates with the interconnectedness observed in physics through these concepts.
Conclusion
By relating Keely's concept of the Dominant to the scalar potential, the Bjerknes Effect, and the Lorenz Attractor, we can interpret the Dominant as a fundamental governing force that influences attraction and repulsion, controls dynamic systems, and shapes the potential landscape of vibrational energies. This analogy bridges Keely's vibratory philosophy with established scientific principles, highlighting universal themes of control, interaction, and interconnectedness in natural phenomena.
