The reciprocal is the reverse, the other side, the flip side. Something turned over or upside down.
The reciprocal of 1 is 1 because 1/1 is the same as the reverse, 1/1.
2 is 2/1, thus the reciprocal is 1 /2 . Why reciprocate? A reciprocal balances the wholeness of itself by comparing itself to its mirror image, the other part of its duality.
Without reciprocals, reciprocity and reciprocating, this universe and our bodies could not function continuously, thus could not exist. A reciprocal is for the purpose of strengthening understandings. If we only understood ourselves in relation to our parents, but did not understand our parents in relation to ourselves, we would miss the point of the continuous circular relationship that exists between our former and current self in different forms. Thus our thinking and behavior would only move partways around the circle and then stop. We come to a dead end stagnant standstill in our thinking. We wouldn't even back up because we would have no concept there is more and another way. We would think stagnation is the destination. “This is where I've arrived in my understandings and this is where I'm going to stay!” we curse as we say. It is just as important we breathe in air and extract oxygen, as it is important we reciprocate by exhaling air and releasing carbon dioxide. It is important for plants to also reciprocate. Life is stuffed full of reciprocals reciprocating reciprocity.
The relationship of plants/whole, must equal, whole/plants. We are part of the whole and must be mindful of our relationship to plants. Thus we can easily substitute anything else into the numerator so we can begin to reawaken to the natural fact that we are in a reciprocal relationship with whatever that other thing is. Yes, we are in a reciprocal relationship with hate. And this is why, if we do not bring forth a sufficient amount of offsetting love, hate, along with that which we love that fosters hate, overtakes and upsets relationship balances.
Give & Receive
Using fractions, we can further explain reciprocals through the often used “gift and receive.”Me/give should equal give/me.
In other words, me in relation to what is given should equal what is given in relation to me.
In other words, whether or not the denominator basis is “what is given” or “me,” it should be balanced by the opposite direction and perspective that forms the rest of the whole. In this case that would be “what is received” and “others.”
So finally one form of reciprocal relationship is” what is gifted to me by all else” should equal “ the receipts I have showing what I give to all else.”
This must be properly understood. What we give and receive in this life has an impact on the extended self, the all else, the continuous. It does not just have an impact on the immediate creation we are interacting with and not just during this lifetime. Therefore the reciprocities we are giving and receiving must not just be based on this lifetime, or in any other way, narrowly defined. Ancestors and descendants are involved. A reciprocal is not just some one dimensional math rule. Reciprocals and reciprocity is a much broader ongoing series of actions and reactions, causes and effects in dynamic balance. All of this due to reciprocals reciprocating reciprocity.
Reciprocals By Day
There are 24 hours in a day, thus:the whole day is 24/1
the partial day is 1/ 24
Thus the whole day equals the partial day because the whole day is 24 fractions in one whole, while the partial day is one whole in 24 fractions. Yes, one hour is fundamentally the same as one day. One day simply contains 24 cycle repetitions of one hour. Would we say life cycles are different just because some creatures live longer than others?
We must continue to strengthen thought processes so the logic we consider travels full circle to encompass all reciprocals.
One day can be compared to one half day or one third day or one fourth day or one 12th day and so on. All of these are reciprocals. When we are thinking and behaving in regards to anything, we humans must return to understanding what the whole is and how many fractions are involved. As we do, we understand more about the reciprocal relationships we are in.
Broad Understandings Of Reciprocals Leads To Oneness Behavior
A whole number or fraction multiplied by its reciprocal always equals one.A reciprocal of something is its complementary necessary opposite.
Thus wholes and fractions are reciprocals.
A reciprocal is duality in any form: oneness: twoness, threeness, etc.
Thus justice and injustice are reciprocals. There must be injustice if there is to be justice.
We know the reciprocal of addition is subtraction. Plus we know division and multiplication go together. We also know all four of these terms can be combined such that addition can be used as a reciprocal to division. In order to further inform our logic as we seek understandings, we can use different forms of the topic we are trying to understand because all of the different forms are reciprocal expressions, thus they lead us to the whole and to other fractions. When we say one/many, we are saying one divided by many and one multiple* of many and one equals many and one became many.
The reciprocal of many/one means many divided by one. or many multiples of one and many equals one and many became one.
We prove this sleepily by using cross multiplication to show the nature of the equality between fractions. If we really understood cross multiplication, through the more optimal definitions of numbers, whole numbers, fractions and reciprocals, we would not get as many answers wrong on life's daily maat test. Life and existence is about a deeply layered and woven reciprocal relationship among self, all else and the total of the two. As we again begin to understand reciprocals in terms of Nature, we are less prone to viewing reciprocal relationships in terms of the version of the Supreme Authority we're a cheerleading fan of. Then we'll understand many more forms of the reciprocal such as quid pro quo, equilateral, skeptical, elemental...and then eventually, natural.
*Note regarding multiples: 1/24 is a multiple of 24. It's just expressed as a fraction. How can we say 1/24 is not a multiple of 24 when 1/24 is based on 24 and denominated in terms of 24. Thus a multiple can be a whole number, fraction or both. Or if it pleases the crowd, we can call 1/24, a divisible.
For another example, 8 is a multiple of 5 even though it is 1 3/5. Seriously, if 10 is a multiple of 5, then so is 3/5. Why? Because 10, as a multiple of 5, is also the fraction 50/5. And 5 is 25/5. So why isn't 3/5 in this same family? It is. It's just been excommunicated in favor of the current term and definition of multiple. Side notes: An improper fraction is said to exist when a numerator is greater than the denominator. Based on that logic, all whole numbers starting with number 2 are improper fractions because they are all in the form of 2/1, 3/1, 4/1 but the one, being understood, is not written.
