Causal Resultant Dipole

The "causal resultant dipole" (also written causal-resultant dipole) is a construct in N. A. Kozyrev's September 1967 paper Possibility of Experimental Study of the Properties of Time (JPRS #45238, 2 May 1968). It describes a source-and-sink pair — a motor and an energy receiver — whose poles thin or compact time. More generally, it is the two-pole configuration at the centre of the paper's experimental program: an energy source (a motor, or any process that outputs energy) and its outflow, an energy receiver, with the two poles separable by rigid transmission. Examples given include a motor raising and lowering a weight, or a changing tension in an elastic band. Kozyrev reports experiments in which a torsion balance was placed near such a pair; the newly generated version of this page describes the same experiments as using a long pendulum with a vibrated suspension point placed near such a pair.

How it is claimed to work

Kozyrev's framework treats cause and effect as spatially separated (Axiom II) and temporally separated with a fixed sign (Axiom III). A process that outputs energy occupies the cause pole; the process that absorbs it occupies the effect pole. Because the two poles are distinct, Kozyrev argues the pair forms a dipole whose orientation can be detected by a sensitive mechanical system.

Kozyrev interprets the result as time being "thinned (rarefied)" near the motor and "compacted" near the receiver. In his account, time is "extended" by a cause and "more advanced" where the effect is located, so the pendulum is assisted by the receiver and interfered with by the motor. See Time Density or Intensity.

Reported behaviour

The reported behaviour is directional and additive. Kozyrev reports that when the suspension point of a long pendulum is vibrated:

• The effect was strongest near the energy-absorbing pole and weakened near the motor pole.
• Bringing the energy-absorbing (receiver) pole near the pendulum body or its suspension point increases the southward-deflection tendency up to the full effect.
• The effect pole assists the southward deflection of a vibrating pendulum.
• Bringing the motor pole near makes the effect difficult to obtain; the motor pole interferes with that deflection.
• The effect vanished when the poles were close together; close juxtaposition of the two poles cancels the effect, and with the two poles close together their influences nearly cancel.
• Kozyrev reports that the effect is independent of orientation relative to the pendulum and depends only on distance.
• The falloff with distance was reported as inverse first power. See Inverse First-Power Distance Law (Kozyrev).
• The effect was reportedly sensed at 2–3 m and was not shielded by a thick laboratory wall. Raising and lowering a 10-kg weight through a unit distance was sensed at 2–3 m from the pendulum, and even a thick laboratory wall did not shield the effect. See Instantaneous Transmission Without Momentum.

Kozyrev adds that these tests, like the previous ones, "were not always successful."

The sign-reversal experiment

The experimental basis for treating the dipole as a real cause–effect separation is a sign reversal. When the vibration source is the rotor of a gyroscope, counterclockwise rotation (viewed from above) gives a weight reduction. When the vibration source is instead the non-rotating part of the system — the mounting — the effect reverses sign, and counterclockwise rotation gives a weight increase. Kozyrev interprets this as the transposition of cause and effect changing the sense of the base vector j, and treats it as a mechanical experiment that distinguishes cause from effect.

A related observation is reported with a rubber lining under the balance-arm mounting and an electric motor with flywheel as the load: the system became lighter rather than heavier, which Kozyrev says "excludes completely the possibility of the classic explanation."

Transmission properties

Kozyrev argues that the effect of the causal pole creates two equal and opposite forces — one on the pendulum body and one on the suspension point — so that energy is transmitted without momentum and is therefore not delivered to the pole. This is the basis of his claim that time has energy and rotation moment but no momentum. He further claims that transmission through time is instantaneous and non-propagating: the altered properties of a given second appear everywhere at once. See Instantaneous Transmission Without Momentum.

The distance dependence is reported as inverse-first-power rather than inverse-square; see Inverse First-Power Distance Law (Kozyrev).

Complete compensation and the asymmetric balance

Kozyrev states that complete compensation of the dipole's poles does not occur, so the effect can be observed without preliminary excitation. This is what motivated the redesign of the torsion balance into an asymmetric form — a heavy main load with a light secondary load on a horizontal plate — to avoid the near-complete compensation that limited the earlier symmetric design. See Asymmetric Torsion Balance.

Evidence and its limits

The reported evidence is repeated pendulum-deflection measurements with the dipole poles at varying distances. The source gives no independent replication, no error analysis, and no instrument calibration data. The physical mechanism by which the position of a cause or effect is established is not derived. The 1/r law and the instantaneous-transmission claim are asserted from a geometric argument, not measured against alternatives.

The dipole construct is presented as a deduction from Kozyrev's premises plus his own balance observations. No independent measurement is reported. The existing version of this page additionally links this section to Kozyrev Claims vs. Evidence.

Limitations and unresolved questions

The source reports no independent replication of the dipole effect, the inverse-first-power law or the wall-penetration claim. The paper itself repeatedly notes that the experiments are "not always successful" and that results depend on uncontrolled conditions — season, latitude, time of day — which stands in tension with the claim of a stable, reproducible physical effect. The mechanism by which the dipole transmits influence is asserted rather than derived. The translator also notes one line of text missing after Eq. (9), which bears on the Earth-rotation force rather than the dipole itself.
