Real (reality). This important word has two meanings depending on the 

 subject-matter to which it is applied. 



Heal, applied to existence, means actual or autic, in contradistinction to 

 either objective or apparent. 



Heal applied to objects or events in Nature means based in one particular 

 way on what is actually going on in the sense-compelling universe, viz. by- 

 standing to some actual auto operation or event of the universe in the definite 

 relation of a protheton to its antitheton (see above under protheton). In this 

 sense of the word real, it is opposed to either imaginary or illusory. 



Sense-compelling. For definition see p. 489. [If the monistic theory 

 of existence (p. 518) is correct, it is probable that all auta are sense-compelling 

 auta.] 



Shadow- The perceptions produced in my mind by an auto or autic event 

 of the sense-compelling universe, may be spoken of as shadows cast by it. 

 But the phenomenal object formed by combining all the perceptions to which it 

 could possibly, under every variety of circumstances either now or at other 

 times, give rise in my mind, is a much more complete shadow : and the 

 diacrinomenal object (p. 509) is a further improvement on this. [In this sense 

 of the word, the auto or autic event and its shadow are an antitheton and its 

 protheton, and stand in a perfectly definite relation to one another (see above 

 under protheton, see also foot-note 2, p. 510).] 



Skio (from ffKia, a shadow, also a phantom), used as a prefix (see Diagram 

 III., p. 486). [The phenomenal object is at some times partly the actual shadow 

 which is at that time being cast by the originating auto, and partly a phantom ; 

 at other times it is wholly a phantom. So far as it consists of my percep- 

 tions at any particular time, it is an actually existing shadow ; so far as it con- 

 sists of perceptions that are only potential, it is a phantom shadow.] 



Space, a syntheton of all space relations, both real and conceivable. [It is 

 plain that only a portion of the materials which go to form this syntheton have 

 an ascertainable basis in what actually exists.] See above under real. 



SynergOS. For definition see p. 478, and foot-note, p. 492. [The 

 synergos is the whole of the onto-brain while we sleep without dreaming. The 

 synergos and the thoughts that are our mind are the whole onto-brain at other 

 times.] 



Synopsis, the act of conceiving a collected view of materials which cannot 

 be actually viewed except in succession. 



Synopton, the structure which by synopsis we conceive. 



Synthesis, the act of bringing materials together and forming a structure 

 out of them or by their help. (See p. 497.) 



Syntheton (plural syntheta), the structure resulting from synthesis. [The 

 syntheta treated of in the essay are either perceptions, which are syntheta of
