PART V. WORKING STAGE. 



210. To complete the classificatory scheme, we repeat 

 from Conclusion 3 the Introductory Category and the Primary 

 Categories. 



I. INTRODUCTORY CATEGORY. 



The object of an enquiry is always a phenomenon, a pheno- 

 menon being a given or stated partial (e.g., portion of indivi- 

 dual), single (e.g., individual as a whole), collective (e.g., aggrega- 

 tions of individuals to species), grouped (e.g., beyond species, 

 and including larger wholes such as a science or a group or 

 groups of sciences, to cosmology and the universe), or abstracted 

 (whiteness, etc.), physical or other something (i. e., anything which 

 partially or wholly exists, is coming into or going out of existence, 

 has existed, will, might, could, would, should, or is believed, 

 alleged or feigned, to exist, or the contrary).

 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, 

 configuration 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; (i) intelligence: observation memory 

 imagination reasoning judgment reflection; and (/) indirectly ap-
