It is the supreme expression of individuality:
its conformal subjective form is the freedom of enjoyment derived from the enjoyment of freedom.

If God entertains such a propositional feeling, we may conjecture that the new occasion prehends God in terms of this propositional feeling about itself and does so with a
subjective form of appetition
conformal to that of God.
Deleuze's idea of the «repetition» as «universality of the singular» may interpret Whitehead's idea of «repetition,» i.e., the apparent paradox that only the unrepeatable become present in other occasions by a «
conformal transference of
subjective form.
But to the extent that such data are experienced or prehended by later occasions, they are already immanent in them, and they are so even before there is any
conformal reproduction of
subjective forms.
6 In a
conformal feeling, an eternal object already ingressed as characterizing the
subjective form of an individual objectification given for a nascent occasion is reingressed as a character of the
subjective form of the nascent subject's prehension of that objectification (PR 476, 364, 78).
The physical prehension as
conformal feeling, we have said, reproduces the object by assuming the
subjective form of one of its prehensions, but as vector it is, and remains throughout the «life» of the subject, an essential relation to that individual object as other, as there and then.
What this means is that the initial feeling derives its character, or
subjective form, from the object felt, and insofar as it assumes the same
form it reproduces the object: «In the
conformal feelings the how of feeling reproduces what is felt» (PR 249).
The formal component is to be found in the
subjective form, first as distributed among the many
conformal feelings, finally as unified in the
subjective form of the satisfaction.
God's experience of the world is essentially determined by efficient causation, by the
conformal repetition of finite emotional experiences in
subjective form (PR 345/523).
Thus, if the analogy is to hold..., we should expect a doctrine of quanta, where the individualities of the occasions are relevant, and a doctrine of continuity where the
conformal transference of
subjective form is the dominant fact.
The previously discussed ideas of vectors and the
conformal feelings of
subjective form are used to understand the transmission of energy.
