178 PART IV. PREPARATORY STAGE. 



These eight aspects may be profitably developed as here- 

 under : 



B. Modal Aspects of Phenomenon Investigated: 



1. Quantity (precise number magnitude calculation . . .); 



2. Time (precise position and distribution in time, precedence suc- 

 cession, number of times, dawn day twilight night, seasons, past- 

 present future, duration age date, frequency periodicity, rapidity- 

 slowness, velocity acceleration retardation, chronological measurement 

 and chronological calculation generally); 



3. Space (precise position and distribution in space, before behind 

 juxtaposition direction, magnitude, number, height depth breadth, 

 length distance, angle, degree, longitude latitude, compass points, metri- 

 cal and other measurements and calculation generally); 



4. Consciousness (precise position and distribution in consciousness, 

 precedence succession, magnitude, number, vividness completeness- 

 durability, movement changes, and resemblance in these respects of 

 recalled phenomenon to phenomenon recalled, chronological, comparative, 

 and other measurements, and calculation generally); 



5. Degree (precise degree of Material, Modal, and Procedure Aspects, 

 of mathematical, etheorological, mechanical, physical, chemical, crystallo- 

 graphical, vital, sensory, psychological, social, specio-psychic, and other 

 properties and relations of a static or dynamic character, and of resem- 

 blance, difference, dependence, interdependence, and other relations and 

 interrelations, quantitatively stated where possible); 



6. State (precise pure, average, casual, momentary, time-produced, 

 environment-produced, individual, transitional, exceptional, abnormal, 

 perfect, imperfect, and . . . state); 



7. Change (precise movement activity process, from commencement 

 of change to its end, external and non-external influences, fertilisation 

 kariokynesis prenatal development birth growth adaptation regene- 

 ration reproduction senescence death decomposition, evolution origin- 

 history development transformation or dissolution and further evolution, 

 improvement deterioration, production*- accumulation distribution ex- 

 change consumption, experiencing feeling reasoning concluding, auto- 

 matic reflex impulsive habitual deliberate action, and ways of living 

 and their formation and change . . .); and 



8. Personal Equation (precise degree of more or less complete interest- 

 preparedness liberty opportunity, of possessing stranger's freshness in 

 viewing and weighing own facts and conclusions, and of more or less 

 permanent individuality, abnormality, unclearness ignorance error 

 prejudice deception, and . . .). 



Manifestly our remarks regarding the value for the inquirer 

 of the Material Aspects, apply with equal cogency to the Modal 

 Aspects. 



(3) PROCEDURE ASPECTS. -The justification for the in- 

 clusion of these in the Primary Categories is chiefly practical. 

 They are manifestly a mere selection, as the subsequent Con- 

 clusions will show. Nevertheless it is well to concentrate atten- 

 tion right at the commencement on certain methodological master 

 modes of procedure. Since the statements either explain them-
