== Comparison to SVP (Sympathetic Vibratory Physics) ==

Russell’s concept of light units aligns closely with John Keely’s Sympathetic Vibratory Physics (SVP) in several ways:

# Etheric Elements & Light Units * Keely’s “etheric elements” are analogous to Russell’s light units, both seen as primary building blocks of matter. * Both theories describe these elements as vibratory aggregations rather than fixed particles.
# Neutral Centers & Light Units * Keely’s Neutral Center, the focal point of energy and vibration, correlates with Russell’s idea that each light unit is a center of disturbance. * Both suggest that motion emanates outward from a central zero-point of stillness.
# Vibratory Oscillations & Rhythmic Balanced Interchange * SVP asserts that all matter vibrates at precise sympathetic frequencies. * Russell describes matter as the result of synchronized wave motion—resonating light units forming the periodic table.
# Compression and Expansion Cycles * Keely’s Law of Vibrating Atomic Substances: Attractive and repulsive forces define atomic motion. * Russell similarly states that positive and negative electricity create a cyclic wave motion of integration and disintegration.
# Matter as a State of Vibration * Keely: All mass is a result of locked-in vibratory states. * Russell: Matter is an illusion created by the perception of motion.

Both agree that the universe is not mechanical but a living, oscillatory system of energy transformations.
