[[File:Irrotational vortex.gif|thumb|The self-gravitational involution of a mass can be visualized as a series of concentric shells. The higher a shell, the lower its rotational frequency. If we sufficiently extend the series of concentric shells, then the outermost shell's rotational frequency will be zero, so that the shell will have the lowest (''i.e.'', zero) actual energy (nonzero‑frequency [[angular momentum]]) and the highest (''i.e.'', zero) pot(contracted; show full)

The negative [[potential energy]] is centripetal [[Momentum|linear momentum]], which exerts a hierarchizing effect and thus is [[w

Gravity is the inwardly cohering force acting integratively on all systems. Radiation is the outwardly disintegrating force acting divisively upon all systems.

When a system self-gravitationally condenses to a more negative potential energy and a more positive actual energy, the two energies interact, so that the negative potential energy becomes less [[wik
tionaryiquote:Synergy|synergetic]], while the positive actual energy becomes less antisynergetic. That is why in the condensed system, the effective centrifugal positive energy is twice as high as the effective centripetal negative energy (the [[w:Virial theorem|virial theorem]]). But this higher effective centrifugal positive energy cannot expand the system, because the very fact that the system is condensed implies that a half of the centrifugal positive energy has been radiated away:
