A long lasting rural lifestyle with isolation from library access had allowed some sparse reflective thought experiments, unrestricted by an avoided formal education. Unfathomable, internalized notions combined with generalized disputations about the history of particle physics and along with experiments had long mixed and matched various detailed ideas. Over some decades the preferred, home based projects proceeded. Some of the key influences are given next.
Before the internet... Discussions from chats or forums, were attempted. A discussion including the odd subject-matter of "coils wound upon coils" was attempted through postal mail and a pen-pal conversation was found which eventually brought a photocopy of a 1936 image through physical mail. Decades later I found a much better rationalized source for the subject-matter, rather than the very limited presentation in the first image below.
2025 Update: Missing was reference or any awareness of the 1878 drawing of 'spirellae' from E.D. Babbitt: The idea of coiled - coils had already been published in the 1800s. Having found this only in 2025, through a concentrated reading of a 1919 book by CHARLES W. LEADBEATER titled: OCCULT CHEMISTRY Clairvoyant Observations on the Chemical Elements, 1919. (collaborating with ANNIE BESANT, p.t.s). The still earlier reference was the 1878 PRINCIPLES LIGHT AND COLOR (+) BY EDWIN D. BABBITT. Both feature the "coil wound on coil" principle, with application to atomic matter theory, (of these earlier authors), and both found respect outside of the commercialist branches of science and physics.
As a young seeker the alternative sources for knowledge, the overall structural picture was always sought for first. (Visual structuration before hypothesis, before apparatus, before method, to orient an objectivity). The emotional urge from visualization energized the artistry of modeling out ideas in a physical form.

(Above Image: Surprisingly done in a 1995s CAD app, the above 3D model aligned the spiraling objects to geodesic faces. This was inspired by Synergetics (of Bucky Fuller), who suggested the word 'isotropic' and which inspired a daring application to the idea of forces molding together a state of matter, constituting the physical world for human perception.
Compiling names of theories was not the point, rather the corresponding geometry was explored to visualize conceptual potentials, where hypotheses and theories might fit together for discussion. I came across the Expanding Earth Hypothesis, in the early days of the internet. (Around 1999 there was a website with the original writings, no?). In essence, a theory suggesting that the planet earth actually "accumulates matter", and therefore grows. Did this include other planets and suns? Dare one ask if it otherwise just energizes physicality? This was intriguing.
