Negative Covariance in Russell and Keely

Negative Covariance [See Conjugate Variables, reciprocal] is seen in many of the Russell graphics and is found throughout SVP. This principle is easily seen, as an example, in the dynamic relationship between the Square Law and Inverse Square Law. Russell and I have used the term 'reciprocal' to denote 'covariance' or covariant conditions - also referred to as Conjugate Variables in thermodynamics.

The simplest way to see this equal and opposite exchange of forces is through a child's seesaw.

Russell presented this same idea in many of his illustrations especially this one:

Examples:

"The Law of Love is rhythmic balanced interchange between all things. Upon the law of balanced interchange, this entire reciprocal universe is motivated with such exactness of balance that astronomers can calculate the positions of planets and suns to the split second. In this wise, the universe is dependable. It observes the Law. It cannot do otherwise where God controls all things." [Russell, The Universal One, Preface]

"Every dimension has its opposites, and every change in preponderance from one opposite to the other simultaneously changes every other one of the eighteen series of opposites to balance that change." [Russell, The Universal One, Book 02 - Chapter 11 - Attraction and Repulsion]

"All dimensions simultaneously expand and contract in opposite directions of the same ratio. [Russell, The Universal One, Book 02 - Chapter 14 - Universal Mathematics - Universal Ratios]
