We classify them as follows: 



1. Elementals of phenomenon 



2. Constituents 



3. Form ungeneralised phenomenon. 



4. Dependence 



5. Action 



6. Cause p 



7. Resemblances of phenomenon j 



8. Classification > phenomenon classed. 



9. Position J 



10. Differentia of phenomenon \ henomenon defined> 



11. Details I * 



12. Value of phenomenon j 



14. Appreciation 



15. Description of phenomenon J description of phenomenon. 



This skeleton does not, however, offer its own explanation. 

 We shall therefore develop each of the sub-sections: 



A. Material Aspects of Phenomenon Investigated: 



1. ELEMENTALS, or Precise fundamental sensory and other mental data 

 sought for in physical or mental investigations: (a) vision: light colour 

 shade transparency picture appearance; (b) touch and effort: softness- 

 smoothness evenness cohesion plasticity flexibility malleability, con- 

 figuration texture, gravity weight pressure resistance, attraction- 

 repulsion, fluid liquid viscid solid; (c) hearing: sounds noise har- 

 mony; (d) taste; (e) smell; (f) heat; (g) feeling: pain pleasure appetite- 

 desire mood excitement emotion sentiment; (h) volition: impulse 

 habit decision willing action ; (/') intelligence: observation memory 

 imagination reasoning judgment reflection; and (j) indirectly appre- 

 hensible: causes of heat, electricity, magnetism, etc., and unconscious 

 cerebration ; 



2. CONSTITUENTS, or Precise static and dynamic, largest to smallest, 

 constituents, including ether, elements, compounds, minerals, vital con- 

 stituents, materials, and parts, and their precise disposition, connection, 

 interdependence, and relative homogeneity or heterogeneity; 



3. FORM, or Precise form, shape, outline, design, of wholes, parts, 

 sub-parts, etc., and their precise disposition, connection, interdependence, 

 and relative homogeneity or heterogeneity; 



4. DEPENDENCE, or Precise special facts and factors in the environ- 

 ment on which the phenomenon is more or less dependent (e.g., tree's 

 dependence on soil, atmosphere, and external temperature) ; 



5. ACTION, or Precise action or effects of phenomenon; 



6. CAUSE, or Precise cause or causes of the existence and properties 

 of phenomenon; 



7. RESEMBLANCES, or Precise leading, major, and minor individual, 

 class, and other resemblances of phenomenon or phenomena (for forming 

 classes and schematic scale of classes);
