"deed"). According to the doctrine of karma, good conduct brings a pleasant and
happy result and creates a tendency toward similar good acts, while bad conduct
brings an evil result and creates a tendency toward repeated evil actions. This
furnishes the basic context for the moral life of the individual.”29

stated this law this way:

your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to
you.“30

action, reaction, resultant.
discovered for every action there is a reaction, and a precessional resultant.
life forms react
to my action, the vector sum of the two produce a resultant. I act, the rest
of the world reacts, and when it all settles down the change made by the interaction is the
resultant.

to include Fuller’s
Principle of Action—Reaction—Resultant, we get:

tends to provoke neutral reaction
ending in a neutral resultant.
tends to provoke synergic reaction
ending in a synergic resultant.
