Sympathetic Vibratory Physics

The following are Keely's own definitions of some of his terms.

ATOMOLES are elementary units of matter uniform in size and weight, and exist in solid, liquid, gaseous, and isolated forms.
ATOMOLINI are ultimate units of atomoles, and when in a liquid state are the media for the transmission of gravism. The illimitable divisibility and aggregation of matter is a logical sequence.
ATOMS are multiple combinations of atomoles, and they also exist in solid, liquid, gaseous, and isolated forms.
ATTRACTION is the mutual approach of aggregates caused by concentrated waves of harmonic energy, tending to move in line of least resistance, by becoming the centre of one series of concentric waves instead of two or more series.
ELECTRICITY is the oscillation of the atomoles of an atom.
ETHER is an atomic liquid 986,000 times the density of steel.
GRAVISM is the transmissive form through a medium of atomoles in the fourth state, or a medium composed of atomolini.
GRAVITY is the mutual attraction of atomoles.
HARMONY is the simultaneous vibration of two or more bodies whose harmonics do not produce discords, and whose fundamental pitches are harmonics of the lowest pitch, or are a unison with the resultant notes or overtones, or undertones, of any two or more of them.
INDUCTION is the transmissive force of the electric vibration in ether.
MAGNETISM is the mutual attraction of juxtaposed bodies vibrating at unison or harmonic electric pitches.
COMPLEX MOLECULES are unions of molecules with other molecules or atoms.
COMPOUND MOLECULES are unions of two atoms of dissimilar kind.
SIMPLE MOLECULES are formed by the union of two atoms of the same kind.
OSCILLATION is a rhythmically recurring translatory movement.
PITCH is the relative frequency of vibration. (underline added)
TRANSMISSIVE ENERGY is rhythmical motion of condensation and rarefaction produced by the vibrating or oscillating body in the medium in which it is immersed.
VIBRATION is the rhythmical motion of a body within itself.
