elements. The immaterial system is intraatomicy and 

 is the determining system: it organizes the material 

 system. 



The material system is conveniently designated 

 as the "Y"-system (symbol Y); and the immaterial 

 system, the intraatomic system, as the "Z"-system 

 (symbol Z). The dual system is designated as the 

 "Y-plus" system, or simply as the "dual-system" 

 (symbol Y+). 



Obviously, various factors that (as belonging to 

 past history) permissibly were ignored for just the 

 critical moment, immediately entered, and conditions 

 rapidly became more and more complex. The process 

 involves problems of chemical reactions, of heat and 

 other forms of energy, of the mobility of the new unit 

 and the viscosity of the medium, and so on. 



The basic process involves (a) a catenary series of 

 reactions; (6) the simultaneousness of various 

 processes, producing a variety of phenomena; (c) the 

 simultaneousness of several sets of catenary reactions, 

 in which some may proceed at slower or faster rate 

 than others; (d) the interrelations of the various 

 simultaneous processes; the correlation of all proc- 

 esses, (e) As complexity increases, differentiation 

 within the dual-system necessarily results. (J) As 

 complexity increases various secondary axes will be 

 established in addition to the main axis of the system.
