existing man, in the wider l significance of the word man — consists 

 of— 



1. His mind, 



2. The synergos, 



3. The doulos, making up the rest of his onto-body. 



His organs of sense, i. e. the onto-organs, are a part of the 

 doulos. In illustration of the use of the prefix onto, see Dia- 

 gram III. The phenomenal object which we are accustomed also to 

 call a man, is not any part of the onto-man, the really existing 

 man. It is merely a syntheton — gvvOztov, the structure resulting 

 from synthesis — of certain effects which the onto-man can, through 

 organs of sense, produce within the man's own mind or in the 

 minds of his fellow-men. See § 13, below. (Essay, p. 499.) 



It is better to treat Part II. as a Re- 

 capitulation, and to read it after the Essay,

relations to one another. They are entitled to be called tekmeria, 

 inasmuch as they are proofs to me that other operations are going 

 on in the universe beside those going on in my mind. See 

 Diagram I. (Essay, pp. 491 and 504.) 



9. The messages undergo profound change in their transit from 

 the sense-compelling auto to me, so that the tekmerion, the message 

 in the form in which it reaches me, is utterly unlike what the 

 originating auto sent abroad. A fortiori there is no trace of 

 ground for supposing it like that auto, or that a structure made by 

 compacting tekmeria together (§ 13, below) is like that auto. See 

 the warning on p. 477. (Essay, p. 499.) 



10. It is possible to trace with considerable probability, how, 

 by reason of what we inherit from our ancestors, the tekmeria have 

 come in modern human minds to be perceptions (see definition in 

 § 8) and not mere sensations. (Essay, pp. 503 and 492.) 



1 In the narrower significance of the word a man is his mind only.
