Any nucleus is always trying to break up the field of energy around it. Why? Because concentrated energy is difficult to control. Break it up and it makes things much easier.
The IMPACTS concept shows how everything really has a totality at its base–it is just difficult to see because the nucleus is always trying to break it up, and usually succeeding. The IMPACTS force is the force trying to keep it together–or put it back together.
The IMPACTS force is always a step behind the SN or nucleus force. It is always playing catch-up–but that is because it is captured energy. Before it gets captured, it gets along quite well by itself.
