in the case of human beings, swept into vastly more complex, Chinese box - like sets of containing societies within which there are social levels that can be identified with
cells, others which answer to Aristotle's levels of tissues and organs, and which finally are presided over by what Whitehead refers to as the regnant nexus, a social thread of complex temporal inheritance which, Whitehead suggests, wanders from part to part of the brain, is the seat of conscious direction of the
organism as a whole, and answers to what
in Plato and Aristotle is called the soul.
(Cf. the phenomenon of the «runners» at first connected with the mother plant and then separated from it; the fluid transition between various plants and animals which appear to be one; the germ -

cells, and innumerable
cells constitute an
organism.

in patterns of interconnectedness which are not mechanical» (LL 83).

in accordance with the changing gradient pattern, to the intellectual processes by which the adult
organism adjusts its relations to the outside world.
