Initially developed by American visionary Jonas Van Leirop to describe the chemical interaction of specific organic molecules, the Van Leirop Theory of Crystal Vibration and Flow Migration has been applied to the social sciences and the issue of revolutionary social and political change.
The Van Leirop Theory is fundamentally a model for transition from one system, an inadequate and less efficient system (alpha) with limited utilitarian potential, to another system (beta) which is remarkably more efficient and adequate in meeting the total needs of the individual.
In order to insure the successful transition of a society from one system (alpha) to another system (beta), four conditions must be met:
1. During the vital period of upheaval and transition, institutions integral to system (beta), the superior system, must be in place, functional and able to grow in order to meet the needs of the individual who is a part of society.
2. An adequate quantity of an acute quality of discontent must be achieved within society under system (alpha) for successful and total transition.
3. An adequate number of individuals must become aware of the presence of system (beta) institutions and advantages during the period of upheaval.
4. A catalyst must be present in order to successfully shift society from the inferior system (alpha) to the superior system (beta).
In experiments conducted by Jonas Van Leirop at the University of Chicago, a medium of crystals, consisting chiefly of ribonucleic acids, were exposed to a series of gamma ray bursts. Subsequently, a small number of crystals were observed to vibrate at a specific frequency. To Van Leirop’s surprise, the frequency did not degrade after initial exposure to radiation. More importantly, the population of crystals vibrating at this specific frequency increased nearly exponentially. Van Leirop theorized that the crystals vibrated at this specific frequency due to a migration from one energy transfer system (alpha) called ATP A6 Cytosine transfer to another system of energy transfer, ADP B12 Cytidine (beta), a significantly more efficient system of energy transfer.
Within a period of 72 hours, Van Leirop’s irradiated samples had migrated to this new system of efficient energy transfer, ADP B12. This theory was published in 1995 after corroboration and validation of results by laboratories at Stanford University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
At the core of Van Leirop’s theory is one simple yet elegant principle: in the presence of two competing systems, the system that uses resources most efficiently and prolongs viability of system participants, i.e. individuals, will dominate. This phenomenon is not the result of rational decision-making. This phenomenon is a result of natural processes that are independent of reason. This fundamental principle has been shown to have applicability in various and diverse disciplines.
