The work reported here originates in the discovery, four decades ago, of a previouslyunknown
type of self-organizing interaction among oscillating systems -- so-called
argumental interactions -- and of “quantized” modes of behavior in macroscopic
argumentally-coupled oscillators, having no equivalent in the classical theory of oscillations
[4-18]. Argumental interaction is characterized by the property, that the exchange of energy is
regulated by phase-frequency-amplitude fluctuations in the participating oscillating systems,
while each of them operates at very nearly its own proper frequency and retains (in the mean)
its characteristic dynamic parameters. Argumental interactions can be demonstrated in a
variety of electromechanical devices, the simplest of which belongs in every physics
classroom: A pendulum (1 Hz) interacting with an alternating-current electromagnet (30-1000
Hz), and possessing a discrete series of stable amplitudes. The argumental mechanism lies at
the basis of a second remarkable phenomenon, discovered around the same time: when placed
in a high-frequency EM field, electrical resonators (such as LCR circuits), coupled to each
other by inductive, capacitative and resistive couplings and free to move in space under the
influence of the corresponding ponderomotive forces, show the tendency to group themselves
into stable spatial configurations [19-24]...Read more in pdf version
