SECTION 28. CLASSIFICATION. 399 



prehensible: 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); 



8. CLASSIFICATION, or Precise methodical classification of the pheno- 

 mena observed, and placing the classes thus formed under a more com- 

 prehensive category; 



9. POSITION, or Precise comparative position of phenomenon within 

 class or classes, and precise comparison of the parts of related wholes ; 



10. DIFFERENTLY, or Precise leading, major, and minor individual, 

 class, and other differentia? of phenomenon (the ascertainment of the lead- 

 ing differentise is the primary object of most investigations); 



11. DETAILS, or Precise secondary aspects or details of phenomenon, 

 of interest in the enquiry; 



12. VALUE, or Precise value and quality (hygienic, economic, moral, 

 aesthetic, philosophical, scientific, . . .) of phenomenon. 



13. UTILISATION, or Precise utilisation, application, and reproduction 

 of phenomenon in all spheres of life; 



14. APPRECIATION, or Precise appreciation (desire, liking, preference, 

 love, and enjoyment, and their opposites) of phenomenon; and 



15. DESCRIPTION, or Precise nomenclature, terminology, definitions, 

 formula?, statements, tables, diagrams, and reports in connection with the 

 phenomenon. 



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 pre- 

 sent future, duration age date, frequency periodicity, rapidity slow- 

 ness, 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 of a static or dynamic character, and of resemblance, 

 difference, dependence, interdependence, and other relations and inter- 

 relations, quantitatively stated where possible);
