Larson's Reciprocal System of Physical Theory consists of a definition of a new type of motion, called scalar motion, which is based in turn on a new interpretation of space and time, as the reciprocal aspects of a universal progression. Larson posits that the physical universe is composed entirely of this motion, and the theory he developed, in which he assumes this, begins with nothing but this motion, as its initial condition, and then Larson develops its logical consequences; that is, the necessary consequences that must follow from the basic assumptions.

As a result, theoretical entites emerge in the course of the theory's development that correspond to observed physical entities with the properties of radiation, matter, and energy. Since these properties include mass and gravity, the behavior that Newton first observed and formulated as his laws of motion, and the universal law of gravity, hold. It's in the explanation of the origin of mass, magnetic moment, and charge, that the RST goes beyond the LST. It does not change the observed relationship of physical entities as formulated by Newton. Therefore, there is no Larsonian framework in which the description of the ball's gravitational interaction differs from that which was first described by Newton. Newton's laws are observed relationships, and in the low limit, as they say, are very accurate.

What the RST brings to the table goes beyond the LST, in that it describes and explains the origin of the mass and the gravitational force. Roughly speaking, the origin of the mass of a physical object is is due to a combination of discrete, inward, scalar motions. The gravitational force is a manifestation of the same motion that constitutes the matter. It is the mutual, independent, inward, motion of matter that appears to exert a force at a distance, which we observe in the expression F = Gmm'/r^2. However, the reason that we cannot detect a gravitational force (except by its effects), neither modify it, neither screen it off, is that it is simply an inward scalar motion, causing gravitating bodies to follow an independent path, inward toward all other bodies.

This inward scalar motion is the inverse of the outward scalar motion observed in the distant galaxies, which are receding outward from one another in every direction. The origin, limits, and interactions of these scalar motions is what the RST deals with. It does not redo what the LST has already done. A simple example of a calculation in the Larson framework would be the periodic table, where the atomic number of the elements, and the approximate mass of the isotopes is calculated. The RST theoretical result matches the observed atomic numbers exactly, and it derives the observed isotopic masses as well as can be expected, given the complex environmental factors involved.

Interestingly, however, the RST atomic model differs radically from the quantum mechanical, nuclear, model. Yet, the QM model does not correctly predict the atomic numbers of the elements, nor the isotopic masses. A brief article on this is available on the RST Wiki here:

The Wheel of Motion is simply a different format for the periodic table of elements that shows more clearly why the gaps appear in the table and why the table rows of equal length appear in pairs. I would include it here, but I don't know how except as an attachment. Do image attachments display in these posts? I'll try it and see what happens.
