Here is Poul Anderson's essay "Uncleftish Beholding" ("Atomic 
Theory"), reprinted from the revised edition appearing in his  
collection _All One Universe_. 
  For most of its being, mankind did not know what things are made 
of, but could only guess. With the growth of worldken, we began 
to learn, and today we have a beholding of stuff and work that 
watching bears out, both in the workstead and in daily life. 
 The underlying kinds of stuff are the *firststuffs*, which link 
together in sundry ways to give rise to the rest. Formerly we 
knew of ninety-two firststuffs, from waterstuff, the lightest and 
barest, to ymirstuff, the heaviest. Now we have made more, such 
as aegirstuff and helstuff. 
 The firststuffs have their being as motes called *unclefts*. 
These are mightly small; one seedweight of waterstuff holds a 
tale of them like unto two followed by twenty-two naughts. Most 
unclefts link together to make what are called *bulkbits*. Thus, 
the waterstuff bulkbit bestands of two waterstuff unclefts, the 
sourstuff bulkbit of two sourstuff unclefts, and so on. (Some 
kinds, such as sunstuff, keep alone; others, such as iron, cling 
together in ices when in the fast standing; and there are yet 
more yokeways.) When unlike clefts link in a bulkbit, they make 
*bindings*. Thus, water is a binding of two waterstuff unclefts 
with one sourstuff uncleft, while a bulkbit of one of the 
forestuffs making up flesh may have a thousand thousand or more 
unclefts of these two firststuffs together with coalstuff and 
chokestuff. 
 At first is was thought that the uncleft was a hard thing that 
could be split no further; hence the name. Now we know it is made 
up of lesser motes. There is a heavy *kernel* with a forward 
bernstonish lading, and around it one or more light motes with 
backward ladings. The least uncleft is that of ordinary 
waterstuff. Its kernel is a lone forwardladen mote called a 
*firstbit*. Outside it is a backwardladen mote called a 
*bernstonebit*. The firstbit has a heaviness about 1840-fold that 
of the bernstonebit. Early worldken folk thought bernstonebits 
swing around the kernel like the earth around the sun, but now we 
understand they are more like waves or clouds. 
 In all other unclefts are found other motes as well, about as 
heavy as the firstbit but with no lading, known as *neitherbits*. 
We know a kind of waterstuff with one neitherbit in the kernel 
along with the firstbit; another kind has two neitherbits. Both 
kinds are seldom. 
 The next greatest firststuff is sunstuff, which has two firstbits 
and two bernstonebits. The everyday sort also has two neitherbits 
in the kernel. If there are more or less, the uncleft will soon 
break asunder. More about this later. 
 The third firststuff is stonestuff, with three firstbits, three 
bernstonebits, and its own share of neitherbits. And so it goes, 
on through such everyday stuffs as coalstuff (six firstbits) or 
iron (26) to ones more lately found. Ymirstuff (92) was the last 
until men began to make some higher still. 
 It is the bernstonebits that link, and so their tale fastsets how 
a firststuff behaves and what kinds of bulkbits it can help make. 
The worldken of this behaving, in all its manifold ways, is 
called *minglingken*. Minglingers have found that as the 
uncleftish tale of the firststuffs (that is, the tale of 
firststuffs in their kernels) waxes, after a while they begin to 
show ownships not unlike those of others that went before them. 
So, for a showdeal, stonestuff (3), glasswortstuff (11), 
potashstuff (19), redstuff (37), and bluegraystuff (55) can each 
link with only one uncleft of waterstuff, while coalstuff (6), 
flintstuff (14), germanstuff (22), tin (50), and lead (82) can 
each link with four. This is readily seen when all are set forth 
in what is called the *roundaround board of the firststuffs*. 
 When an uncleft or a bulkbit wins one or more bernstonebits above 
its own, it takes on a backward lading. When it loses one or 
more, it takes on a forward lading. Such a mote is called a 
*farer*, for that the drag between unlike ladings flits it. When 
bernstonebits flit by themselves, it may be as a bolt of 
lightning, a spark off some faststanding chunk, or the everyday 
flow of bernstoneness through wires. 
 Coming back to the uncleft itself, the heavier it is, the more 
neitherbits as well as firstbits in its kernel. Indeed, soon the 
tale of neitherbits is the greater. Unclefts with the same tale 
of firstbits but unlike tales of neitherbits are called 
*samesteads*. Thus, everyday sourstuff has eight neitherbits with 
its eight firstbits, but there are also kinds with five, six, 
seven, nine, ten, and eleven neitherbits. A samestead is known by 
the tale of both kernel motes, so that we have sourstuff-13, 
sourstuff-14, and so on, with sourstuff-16 being by far the most 
found. Having the same number of bernstonebits, the samesteads of 
a firststuff behave almost alike minglingly. They do show some 
unlikenesses, outstandingly among the heavier ones, and these can 
be worked to sunder samesteads from each other. 
 Most samesteads of every firststuff are unabiding. Their kernels 
break up, each at its own speed. This speed is written as the 
*half-life*, which is how long it takes half of any deal of the 
samestead thus to shift itself. The doing is known as 
*lightrotting*. It may happen fast or slowly, and in any of 
sundry ways, offhanging on the makeup of the kernel. A kernel may 
spit out two firstbits with two neitherbits, that is, a sunstuff 
kernel, thus leaping two steads back in the roundaround board and 
four weights back in heaviness. It may give off a bernstonebit 
from a neitherbit, which thereby becomes a firstbit and thrusts 
the uncleft one stead up in the board while keeping the same 
weight. It may give off a *forwardbit*, which is a mote with the 
same weight as a bernstonebit but a forward lading, and thereby 
spring one stead down in the board while keeping the same weight. 
Often, too, a mote is given off with neither lading nor 
heaviness, called the *weeneitherbit*. In much lightrotting, a 
mote of light with most short wavelength comes out as well. 
 For although light oftenest behaves as a wave, it can be looked 
on as a mote, the *lightbit*. We have already said by the way 
that a mote of stuff can behave not only as a chunk, but as a 
wave. Down among the unclefts, things do not happen in steady 
flowings, but in leaps between bestandings that are forbidden. 
The knowledge-hunt of this is called *lump beholding*. 
 Nor are stuff and work unakin. Rather, they are groundwise the 
same, and one can be shifted into the other. The kinship between 
them is that work is like unto weight manifolded by the fourside 
of the haste of light. 
 By shooting motes into kernels, worldken folk have shifted 
samesteads of one firststuff into samesteads of another. Thus did 
they make ymirstuff into aegirstuff and helstuff, and they have 
afterward gone beyond these. The heavier firststuffs are all 
highly lightrottish and therefore are not found in the 
greenworld. 
 Some of the higher samesteads are *splitly*. That is, when a 
neitherbit strikes the kernel of one, as for a showdeal 
ymirstuff-235, it bursts into lesser kernels and free 
neitherbits; the latter can then split more ymirstuff-235. When 
this happens, weight shifts into work. It is not much of the 
whole, but nevertheless it is awesome. 
 With enough strength, lightweight unclefts can be made to 
togethermelt. In the sun, through a row of strikings and 
lightrottings, four unclefts of waterstuff in this wise become 
one of sunstuff. Again some weight is lost as work, and again 
this is greatly big when set beside the work gotten from a 
minglingish doing such as fire. 
 Today we wield both kind of uncleftish doings in weapons, and 
kernelish splitting gives us heat and bernstoneness. We hope to 
do likewise with togethermelting, which would yield an unhemmed 
wellspring of work for mankindish goodgain. 
 Soothly we live in mighty years!
