<strong>The</strong> <strong>Nature</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Order</strong><br />

Our idea <strong>of</strong> matter is essentially governed by our idea <strong>of</strong> order. What matter<br />

is is governed by our idea <strong>of</strong> how space can be arranged; and that in turn is<br />

governed by our idea <strong>of</strong> how orderly arrangement in space creates matter. So<br />

it is the nature <strong>of</strong> order which lies at the root <strong>of</strong> the whole thing. Hence the<br />

title <strong>of</strong> this book.<br />
