Let's be clear, Cliff's "synergetics coordinates" are his
fabrication, there's nothing in Fuller's two volumes even
remotely like them.
No one controls the word 'synergetics'. There's another
book by that title by Dr. Haken on Wikipedia, with some
disambiguation work in the notes.
Cliff is free to promulgate his gizmo as 'synergetics'
just as I am free to share your low opinion of their
relevance and/or utility:
