The Nature of Order

1. Centers arise in space.
Centers
2. Each center is created by configurations of other centers.
3. Each center has a certain life or intensity. . . . This life or intensity is not
inherent in the center by itself, but is a function of the whole
configuration in which the center occurs.
4. The life or intensity of one center gets increased or decreased according
to the position and intensity of other nearby centers. Above all, centers
become most intense when the centers which they are made of help each
other.
5. The centers are the fundamental elements of the wholeness, and the
degree of wholeness or life, of any given part of any given part of space
depends entirely on the presence and structure of the centers there.
