Popis: In general, stable systems consist of particles whose motion is bound within the limits set by a confining influence. Any such system obeys six empirical laws of nature which together form the fundamental theorem of system structure. On any scale, this theorem defines the states that result from a rigid coupling of a particles position to its direction and speed. As they travel, the particles in any system periodically exchange kinetic for potential energy as they travel their allowed pathway of motion. Consider, for example, the pendulum whose potential energy is maximized at each end of its swing while its kinetic energy is maximized at the bottom of its swing. The most basic description of the shape of the particle's pathway is its representation within the space of the confining influence. The resulting dynamic geometries of particle states, the process of change between the states and the processes necessary to alter the system itself can all be described. Subsequently, the description of the particles and their confining influence permits the application of the theorem to any local system.
