The Nuclear Isle

The Nuclear Isle

"The ultimaton, the first measurable form of energy, has Paradise as its nucleus." (42:1.2)

The first words of Paper 11 on the Eternal Isle say, "Paradise is the eternal center of the universe of universes..." (11:0.1) Paradise is "material, literal." (11:0.1) Its material is absolutum, the "literal substance of Paradise." (11:2.9) It is "not to be found elsewhere in all the wide universe of universes." (11:2.9) Four different papers refer to Paradise as a "nuclear isle." (0:4.12, 11:0.2, 14:0.1, 56:1.1) And Paradise "has no location in space." (11:2.10)

Ultimatons, however, exist only in space — and specifically in pervaded space, which is itself "a bestowal of Paradise." (11:7.4) They make up all the material in the universe of universes. Yet even as they compose that material, ultimatons are "not subject to local gravity"; they answer only to "absolute or Paradise gravity, to the trend, the swing, of the universal and eternal circle of the universe of universes," ever swinging "true to the circuit of the great ellipse of the far-flung creation." (41:9.2) So the ultimaton circulates the space-level circuits about the very Isle that is its nucleus — an Isle that itself has "no location in space." (11:2.10)

The Pattern of "Nucleus"

Another point to consider is the book's general usage of the term "nucleus."

"The nucleus of the physical system to which your sun and its associated planets belong is the center of the onetime Andronover nebula." (15:3.6)

So, the nucleus of Monmatia is Andronover's center. The Andronover center does not reside in Monmatia.

"Nevertheless, there is no ether, and the very absence of this hypothetical ether enables the inhabited planet to escape falling into the sun and the encircling electron to resist falling into the nucleus." (42:5.16)

So, the nucleus of the electron is the atom's nucleus, not something within the electron. The revelators establish the pattern that the nucleus of an object is outside the object, not within it. Inside the electron are a hundred ultimatons, happily huddling, with none vying for the central position to claim distinction as the electron's nucleus. (see 42:6.5)

Confusion is inevitable when the "nucleus" statement stands alone. It's alleviated with additional context.
