properties over (optimized) angles and distances. Noteworthy that the multiplicative group of physical,,dimensions" has been reduced mod [c]y[fe]; geometric dimensions [l] m remain hereby, with the 9 integers m — —5, —4, +2, +3 as exponents. It was disadvantageous to calculate mod [y], in order to eliminate kg within a MSsystem, since the gravitational constant y is rather resembling an area: Gauss' astronomical constant k = Yy'. 4.3 Even if 1 meter could be expressed on the standardized total average diagram as an angle % 10~ 26 radian, the measurement standard for lengths is a theoretically independent magnitude: without the direct exhibition of 1 meter, there would be no link between numbers from geometry and real distances in nature. Is to yet known, whether 1 meter is unchangeable during the time—in distinction to changeable fundamental ..constants" like h(v) = fe//l+(2jrj»/r 0 ) 2 andc(r) = V'(r/C f ) 2 = 1 3 2 (r = ^jTjTCi cos/?,-). Remarkable that the original diagram of motions cannot be o j transformed in itself, and that local transformations enter through the average diagram only. Nevertheless, a space which pulsates during the cosmic revolution of time, is not excluded, because it is not necessary that the total average diagram has the simplest form of a round-about for an immovable average space. 5. The re-orientation concerning our cosmic position on earth—not as a center in space, but as a center in the total diagram of all events in space and time—is essential from a psychological//ideological viewpoint: e.g., you may be astonished that in a closed world there exists no progress whose aim would not end in a retrogression which reacts upon its origin. This general situation has one important aspect as to the presence; the world on our planet is much smaller than the cosmic universe, and the duration of human life will depend on a reasonable solution of the problem: how to stabilize the global movements, as being originated in our own activities ? —what purposes are we working for, today ? 5.1 The rapid scientific-technical development during and after World War II, especially the far-reaching application of effective attainments in electronics, has intensified the industrial productivity to a considerable extent. At the same time we perceive that a stationary state in global ecology cannot be maintained from free enterprise: without public control, there is no guarantee against unemployment and famine, against the ruinous exploitation of reserves of raw material or of animals (like whales), against the pollution of air and water. The strategy of producing for the sake of producing, of consuming articles which ought to be casted away on rubbish-heaps for the next procurement of work, cannot be pursued in the long run. It will be more attractive to have articles of excellent workmanship in conjunction with less a number of working hours per week. The main task, however, it to equilibrate all human activities without war. 5.2 In distinction to physics, economics shows a jungle of different standards for similar values. Obviously there must be something wrong in the conceded mathematics of finances at all: we are told that a savings deposit 1, put out at a 3 % % rate of interest per year, makes a savings-account 1.035" after n years, e.g. 1.4106, 1.9898, 3.9593 (and 31.1914, 871.67X10 12 ) after 1, 2, 4 decades (and one century, one millennium), respectively. Nobody can realize such a deceptive growth, neither on the earth nor on the moon, neither on a gold basis nor on human work—the concept
