4. Uversa, the capital of Orvonton, is the administrative headquarters for one trillion inhabited worlds. (175.2) 15:7.11
5. It is on such worlds as Uversa that the beings representative of the autocracy of perfection and the democracy of evolution meet face to face. (179.11) 15:11.1

8. The alternate clockwise and counterclockwise movement of the galaxies is a factor of gravity control and acts as a brake on dangerous velocities. (125.3) 11:7.9
