Radical Thrust

I believe he could have included a fourth type of thrust, seen in the wheel, in certain seed heads, in explosions, the Universal Mode System, and the like: radial thrust. [Graham Collier writing of overt or kinetic energy in terms of thrust identifies Centripetal as one of three or four common manifestations. These kinds of thrust are often seen in combination with elements of potential energy, as in a tent, a clothesline, or a suspension bridge, where the point thrust of pole or nylon is complemented by the catenary arc of the canvas, the line or the cables, or contrariwise in the association of continuous and discontinuous patterns in the formations of mountains.]
