Every paragraph the index cites under ultimata, once, in the order of the book. Beside each stand the entries that cite it.

0:6.62. Emer­gent en­ergy em­braces those en­er­gies which are re­spon­sive to Par­a­dise grav­ity but are as yet un­re­spon­sive to lo­cal or lin­ear grav­ity. This is the pre-elec­tronic level of en­ergy-mat­ter.

11:5.5The in­ner zone of this force cen­ter seems to act as a gi­gan­tic heart whose pul­sa­tions di­rect cur­rents to the out­er­most bor­ders of phys­i­cal space. It di­rects and mod­i­fies force-en­er­gies but hardly drives them. The re­al­ity pres­sure-pres­ence of this pri­mal force is def­i­nitely greater at the north end of the Par­a­dise cen­ter than in the south­ern re­gions; this is a uni­formly reg­is­tered dif­fer­ence. The mother force of space seems to flow in at the south and out at the north through the op­er­a­tion of some un­known cir­cu­la­tory sys­tem which is con­cerned with the dif­fu­sion of this ba­sic form of force-en­ergy. From time to time there are also noted dif­fer­ences in the east-west pres­sures. The forces em­a­nat­ing from this zone are not re­spon­sive to ob­serv­able phys­i­cal grav­ity but are al­ways obe­di­ent to Par­a­dise grav­ity.

11:7.8A space level thus func­tions as an el­lip­ti­cal re­gion of mo­tion sur­rounded on all sides by rel­a­tive mo­tion­less­ness. Such re­la­tion­ships of mo­tion and qui­es­cence con­sti­tute a curved space path of less­ened re­sis­tance to mo­tion which is uni­ver­sally fol­lowed by cos­mic force and emer­gent en­ergy as they cir­cle for­ever around the Isle of Par­a­dise.

11:8.62. Grav­ity Stages (En­ergy). This mod­i­fi­ca­tion of the force-charge of space is pro­duced by the ac­tion of the Par­a­dise force or­ga­niz­ers. It sig­nal­izes the ap­pear­ance of en­ergy sys­tems re­spon­sive to the pull of Par­a­dise grav­ity. This emer­gent en­ergy is orig­i­nally neu­tral but con­se­quent upon fur­ther meta­mor­pho­sis will ex­hibit the so-called neg­a­tive and pos­i­tive qual­i­ties. We des­ig­nate these stages ul­ti­mata.

16:4.124. The be­hav­ior of emer­gent en­ergy when fully lib­er­ated from the grasp of the Un­qual­i­fied Ab­so­lute, thus be­com­ing re­spon­sive to the di­rect in­flu­ence of lin­ear grav­ity and to the ma­nip­u­la­tions of the Uni­verse Power Di­rec­tors and their as­so­ciates.

42:2.103. Emer­gent en­er­gies. The pas­sive pres­ence of the pri­mary force or­ga­niz­ers is suf­fi­cient to trans­form space po­tency into pri­mor­dial force, and it is upon such an ac­ti­vated space field that these same force or­ga­niz­ers be­gin their ini­tial and ac­tive op­er­a­tions. Pri­mor­dial force is des­tined to pass through two dis­tinct phases of trans­mu­ta­tion in the realms of en­ergy man­i­fes­ta­tion be­fore ap­pear­ing as uni­verse power. These two lev­els of emerg­ing en­ergy are:

42:2.11a. Puis­sant en­ergy. This is the pow­er­ful-di­rec­tional, mass-move­mented, mighty-ten­sioned, and forcible-re­act­ing en­ergy—gi­gan­tic en­ergy sys­tems set in mo­tion by the ac­tiv­i­ties of the pri­mary force or­ga­niz­ers. This pri­mary or puis­sant en­ergy is not at first def­i­nitely re­spon­sive to the Par­a­dise-grav­ity pull though prob­a­bly yield­ing an ag­gre­gate-mass or space-di­rec­tional re­sponse to the col­lec­tive group of ab­so­lute in­flu­ences op­er­a­tive from the nether side of Par­a­dise. When en­ergy emerges to the level of ini­tial re­sponse to the cir­cu­lar and ab­so­lute-grav­ity grasp of Par­a­dise, the pri­mary force or­ga­niz­ers give way to the func­tion­ing of their sec­ondary as­so­ciates.

42:2.12b. Grav­ity en­ergy. The now-ap­pear­ing grav­ity-re­spond­ing en­ergy car­ries the po­ten­tial of uni­verse power and be­comes the ac­tive an­ces­tor of all uni­verse mat­ter. This sec­ondary or grav­ity en­ergy is the prod­uct of the en­ergy elab­o­ra­tion re­sult­ing from the pres­sure-pres­ence and the ten­sion-trends set up by the As­so­ciate Tran­scen­den­tal Mas­ter Force Or­ga­niz­ers. In re­sponse to the work of these force ma­nip­u­la­tors, space-en­ergy rapidly passes from the puis­sant to the grav­ity stage, thus be­com­ing di­rectly re­spon­sive to the cir­cu­lar grasp of Par­a­dise (ab­so­lute) grav­ity while dis­clos­ing a cer­tain po­ten­tial for sen­si­tiv­ity to the lin­ear-grav­ity pull in­her­ent in the soon ap­pear­ing ma­te­rial mass of the elec­tronic and the post­elec­tronic stages of en­ergy and mat­ter. Upon the ap­pear­ance of grav­ity re­sponse, the As­so­ciate Mas­ter Force Or­ga­niz­ers may re­tire from the en­ergy cy­clones of space pro­vided the Uni­verse Power Di­rec­tors are assignable to that field of ac­tion.

42:2.13We are quite un­cer­tain re­gard­ing the ex­act causes of the early stages of force evo­lu­tion, but we rec­og­nize the in­tel­li­gent ac­tion of the Ul­ti­mate in both lev­els of emer­gent-en­ergy man­i­fes­ta­tion. Puis­sant and grav­ity en­er­gies, when re­garded col­lec­tively, are spo­ken of on Uversa as UL­TI­MATA.

42:5.31. In­fraulti­ma­tonic rays—the bor­der­land rev­o­lu­tions of ul­ti­ma­tons as they be­gin to as­sume def­i­nite form. This is the first stage of emer­gent en­ergy in which wave­like phe­nom­ena can be de­tected and mea­sured.

42:5.42. Ul­ti­ma­tonic rays. The as­sem­bly of en­ergy into the minute spheres of the ul­ti­ma­tons oc­ca­sions vi­bra­tions in the con­tent of space which are dis­cern­i­ble and mea­sur­able. And long be­fore physi­cists ever dis­cover the ul­ti­ma­ton, they will un­doubt­edly de­tect the phe­nom­ena of these rays as they shower in upon Uran­tia. These short and pow­er­ful rays rep­re­sent the ini­tial ac­tiv­ity of the ul­ti­ma­tons as they are slowed down to that point where they veer to­wards the elec­tronic or­ga­ni­za­tion of mat­ter. As the ul­ti­ma­tons ag­gre­gate into elec­trons, con­den­sa­tion oc­curs with a con­se­quent stor­age of en­ergy.
