NIOBIUM (Plate XII, 3).
Niobium only differs from yttrium by the introduction of triplets for duads
in _e_; on the meta level we have therefore triplets, and on the hyper each
triplet yields a duad and a unit. The only other difference is in the
central globe. The tetrahedra separate as usual, but liberate eight
"cigars" instead of four with four quartets; the central body is simple,
becoming three triads at the angles of a triangle on the meta level, and
three duads and three units on the hyper.
ALUMINIUM (Plate XIII, 1).
[Illustration]
The funnels let go the globes, but the eight ovoids remain within them, so
that seven bodies are let loose on the proto level. When the ovoids are set
free at the meta stage they become spherical and a nine-atomed body is
produced, which breaks up into triangles on the hyper level. The globe
becomes a cross at the meta stage, with one atom from the duads at each arm
in addition to its own, and these form four duads on the hyper, and a unit
from the centre.
GALLIUM (Plate XIII, 2).
In gallium the funnel disappears on the proto level, setting free its two
contained segments, each of which forms a cylinder, thus yielding twelve
bodies on the proto level. On the meta, the three upper globes in each
left-hand segment are set free, and soon vanish, each liberating a cigar
and two septets, the quartet and triad uniting. On the hyper the quartet
yields two duads but the triangle persists. The second set of bodies divide
on the meta level, forming a sextet and a cross with a duad at each arm;
these on the hyper level divide into two triangles, four duads and a unit.
The seven-atomed cone becomes two triangles united by a single atom, and on
the meta level these form a ring round the unit; on the hyper they form
three duads and a unit.
In the right-hand segment, the same policy is followed, the four triads
becoming two sextets, while the central body adds a third to the number.
The second ring has a quartet instead of the sextet, but otherwise breaks
up as does that of the left; the quintet at the base follows that of boron.
INDIUM (Plate XIII, 3).
The complication of three segments of different types in each funnel does
not affect the process of breaking up, and indium needs little attention. A
is exactly the same as the left-hand funnel of gallium, save for the
substitution of a globe containing the familiar "cigar" and two
square-based pyramids. B is the same as the right-hand funnel of gallium,
except that its lowest body consists of two square-based pyramids and a
tetrahedron. All these are familiar.
PHOSPHORUS (Plate XIV, 1).
[Illustration]
The atoms in the six similar spheres in the segments of the phosphorus
funnel are arranged on the eight angles of a cube, and the central one is
attached to all of them. On the meta level five of the nine atoms hold
together and place themselves on the angles of a square-based pyramid; the
remaining four set themselves on the angle of a tetrahedron. They yield, on
the hyper level, two triads, a duad, and a unit. The remaining bodies are
simple and familiar.
ARSENIC (Plate XIV, 2).
Arsenic shows the same ovoids and globe as have already been broken up in
aluminium (see _ante_); the remaining sixteen spheres form nine-atomed
bodies on the meta level, all similar to those of aluminium, thus yielding
twelve positive and twelve negative; the globe also yields a nine-atomed
body, twenty-five bodies of nine.
ANTIMONY (Plate XIV, 3).
Antimony follows closely in the track of gallium and indium, the upper ring
of spheres being identical. In the second ring, a triplet is substituted
for the unit, and this apparently throws the cross out of gear, and we have
a new eleven-atomed figure, which breaks up into a triplet and two quartets
on the hyper level. The lowest seven-atomed sphere of the three at the base
is the same as we met with in copper.
