[L] A combined periodic table of elements. S.H. Shakman [K] "Mendeleev Groups overlaid on Flint Periods" constitutes a combined periodic table of elements which preserves essential information of both taxonomies and may facilitate approaching scientific information from the (alternate or complementary) perspective of either. The value of preserving Mendeleev's periodicity may be inferred from its position in contemporary science; the value of Flint's periodicity may be see in its utility [see [D] & [G]. The utility of Flint's taxonomy serves to emphasize the significance of atomic number as a [quote] more fundamentally important property of an element than its atomic weight [J.C. Speakman, 1947]. Here, atomic number (rather than atomic weight) is utilized as a measure of relative weight. Such a characterization most notably diverges from contemporary thinking in the case of hydrogen [addressed by [N] & [O]].
This combined table of elements (a) may be seen to relate to origins of Mendeleev's periodicity in its symmetrical embodiment of the non-metals and the otherwise somewhat anomolous lanthanides & actinides; (b) may be viewed as geometrically harmonious with the work of R.B. Fuller (see [M]); and (c) constitutes a proposed extension/merger of conventionally-appraised periodicities into an encompassing algebraically-structured system which underlies the fabric of the ponderable universe. The existence of such a system was anticipated by both I.Newton** & A.Einstein*** (see[A]).
