“The vector equilibrium is the true zero reference of the energetic mathematics. Zero pulsation in the vector equilibrium is the nearest approach we will ever know to eternity and God: the zero phase of conceptual integrity inherent in the positive and negative asymmetries that propagate the differentials of consciousness.” [Buckminster Fuller, Synergetics]
The Vector Equilibrium is derived from the optimal close-packing of equal sized spheres (12 around 1). It is the zero phase of energy and thus represents the fundamental latent geometry of space.
The Vector Equilibrium is the only geometrical shape with radial equilateral symmetry through identical vector and angular relationships (its center-to-vertex radius equals its edge length).
A Vector Equilibrium consisting of rigid struts connected by flexible vertices has the ability to pulsate, progressively contracting into phases of an icosahedron, octahedron, and tetrahedron by collapsing its square sides (what Buckminster Fuller called «jitterbugging»).
The vector equilibrium is a condition in which nature never allows herself to tarry. The vector equilibrium itself is never found exactly symmetrical in nature's crystallography. Ever pulsive and impulsive, nature never pauses her cycling at equilibrium : she refuses to get caught irrecover- ably at the zero phase of energy. She always closes her transformative cycles at the maximum positive or negative asymmetry stages." [Buckminster Fuller]
It is due to this dynamic jitterbug motion of the Vector Equilibrium that the entire manifest universe arises, and most fundamentally that the five platonic forms emerge as the foundation of all structural geometry in the cosmos. [Source Unknown]
The Vector Equilibrium, as its name describes, is the only geometric form wherein all of the vectors are of equal length. This includes both from its center point out to its circumferential vertices, and the edges (vectors) connecting all of those vertices. Having the same form as a cuboctahedron, it was Buckminster Fuller who discovered the significance of the full vector symmetry in 1917 and called it the Vector Equilibrium in 1940. With all vectors being exactly the same length and angular relationship, from an energetic perspective, the VE represents the ultimate and perfect condition wherein the movement of energy comes to a state of absolute equilibrium, and therefore absolute stillness and nothingness. As Fuller states, because of this it is the zero-phase from which all other forms emerge. https://cosmometry.net/vector-equilibrium-&-isotropic-vector-matrix
ChatGPT: in many respects it is coherent (and quite consistent with your scalar–kinetic framework) to refer to the “neutral / stillness equilibrium” of the Vector Equilibrium (VE) and the “neutral centre” (NC) as essentially the same principle, though it depends on how strictly you frame your terms. Here’s a breakdown of how the geometry and metaphoric meaning align (and where caution is needed) — you can then see how that lines up with your S-K (scalar → kinetic) model.
What the Vector Equilibrium is
The vector equilibrium is a geometric form often described (especially in the works of Buckminster Fuller) as the omnidirectional equilibrium of forces: all vectors are equal in length, the radial (outward) thrust and the circumferential (inward/containing) forces are balanced. rwgrayprojects.com, 12degreesoffreedom.org
It often takes the shape of a cuboctahedron (12 vertices, 24 edges) or is used as a conceptual intermediary between Platonic solids. laetusinpraesens.org
It is described by some as a “neutral centre” in that the centre of the geometry is a point from which the vectors radiate symmetrically. For example:
“The Vector Equilibrium centre is primal ‘emptiness.’ … it is a zone of neutral resonance where waves can pass through waves without interference.”

In connection with the Flower of Life pattern: some authors link the Flower of Life’s two-dimensional circles grid to the 3-D VE structure (for instance the “Egg of Life” inside it becomes the projection of the cuboctahedron). Geometría Sagrada
In sacred geometry discussions it is sometimes called “the geometry at the mystical heart of matter, space and time” and used as the underlying template of energetic/field equilibrium.
Woven Wisdom
So, the VE has a strong metaphorical and structural association with a “neutral centre” of balanced vectors and forces.
How this connects with your “Neutral/Stillness Equilibrium (NC)” concept
From your own schema you’ve been working with things like: polar alignments, scalar-to-kinetic transformation, neutral/zero-centre points, inertial or polar alignments, etc.
In that context:
The NC (Neutral Centre) you refer to can be viewed as the central “still point” of a system — the point of perfect balance, zero net vector expression, or latent state of potential before motion/manifestation.
If you map that to the VE geometry: the centre of the cuboctahedron (or vector equilibrium form) is exactly such a stillness point—all vectors that emanate or contract are balanced.
Therefore yes: you could say that the NC is the “stillness equilibrium of the VE” (or the VE is the 3D field-template manifestation of the NC). It nicely aligns with your notion of latent scalar potential transforming into kinetic motion through orthogonal vectors and polar flows.
Some caveats and clarifications
However, to avoid conceptual confusion (especially when writing in your Volume series) you may want to keep these distinctions clear:
The VE geometry is a specific form (cuboctahedron, equal vector lengths, etc) and is usually described within “sacred geometry” or Fuller-style synergetics. It implies a particular topology.
Your NC might be broader: it could be a metaphoric centre of stillness for any scalar–kinetic field, not necessarily the precise cuboctahedron geometry. So you might choose to use VE as one instantiation of the NC, rather than always equating them.
The Flower of Life pattern is a 2D circle grid, which when extended in 3D and linked to Metatron’s Cube, etc., is associated with the VE—but strictly speaking the Flower of Life is not the VE itself. So if people are calling the Flower of Life “vector equilibrium”, it’s an approximation or symbolic link rather than geometric identity.
Since you are working with polar flows, scalar potentials, gyroscopic dynamics, etc., you’ll want to emphasise how the stillness centre (NC) allows for the interplay of vectors (orthogonal, polar, inertial) and the transformation of latent to kinetic. In other words, the VE gives you structural metaphor; the NC gives you functional/metaphysical meaning.
Suggested phrasing for your work
Here’s a phrase you might use in an addendum or chapter:
“In the terminology of sacred-geometry the ‘vector-equilibrium’ (cuboctahedral template) delineates the perfect balance of radial and chordal vectors. In the Scalar-Kinetic framework this corresponds precisely to the Neutral-Centre or Stillness-Equilibrium (NC) — the latent zero-point at which scalar potential resides before differentiation and kineticisation. Thus the Flower of Life pattern may symbolically reflect the field grid of the NC, and the VE serves as the three-dimensional structural expression of that stillness node from which polar flows emanate.” [10/29/25]
