It is that, while Laszlo centers upon patterns

The quite fundamental issue and that

«What we have described as globalization is remarkably close to Teilhard de Chardin's planetization, in
which «[mankind, born on this planet and spread over its entire surface, come [s] gradually to form round its earthly matrix, a single, major, organic unity, enclosed upon itself.4 Thus the globalization
of humankind could lead to the formation
of a new
kind of living
entity — a social organism — on the same cosmic principle as that by
which atoms join to form molecules, molecules join to form mega-molecules, mega-molecules unite to form living cells, and innumerable cells constitute an organism.

kind of editor, with specific tools unique to the specific publication's aims.

Since the difference between a «zero amount and a «negligible» amount

Indeed, that
kind of analysis shows that the section in
which it is located — the third section
of the first chapter in the second part
of Process and Reality (II.I.3)-- is mostly made
of insertions.34 However, given its thematic continuity with materials that belong to the original version
of that same section and
of the previous section (II.I.2), the first full paragraph
of Process 46 appears to belong to that original version.35 More precisely, Whitehead had clearly stated, in section II.I.2, his option for a «theory embracing the notions
of «actual
entity», «giveness», and «process»» (Process 43), a theory in
which «the ontological principle is the first stage» (Process 43).
For him Whitehead implicitly works with two different
kinds of explanation: the «causal» or «ordinary»

entities, and an «ultimate explanation,»

entities (221).18
Thus if it be taken that the sub-atomic
entities are not in themselves unchangeable —

of place, locomotion — though change
of place could be derivative from it.

At first glance, the formulation
of the problem from
which Whitehead proceeds in MC — he still clings to the presupposition
of the cosmological adequacy and precision
of the theoretical language
of mathematics — must seem to be itself an aporia: Whitehead wants to investigate various ways — in the first instance internal to mathematics (but cf. MC 465, 524)--
of considering the «nature
of the material world»; at the same time, however, he wants to understand this world as a unity
which, even though conceived as in motion, consists
of only one
kind of entity (MC 468, 479, 482, 525).
Finally, Whitehead's methodology
of descriptive generalization would, on the micrological view, be seen as belonging within a particular tradition, i.e., as involving what might be called a «metaphysical reduction»
of the empirical world to some foundational and actual element, on the same methodological lines as Leibniz's monads, Bradley's substrative feeling, Alexander's space - time matrix, or Heidegger's Being.12 In other words, Whitehead's actual
entities are conceived as having a special
kind of actuality
of their own as the ground or foundation from
which the empirical world derives.
Actual
entities are not the basic constituents
of things,
which are embodied in ever more complex formations; they are not a special
kind of existent, or indeed any

These two approaches articulated very early on in its history this
kind of work's almost paradoxical dynamic: that one can read a monochrome either as a flat surface (material
entity or «painting as object»)
which represents nothing but itself, and therefore representing an ending in the evolution
of illusionism in painting (i.e. Rodchenko); or as a depiction
of multidimensional (infinite) space, a fulfillment
of illusionistic painting, representing a new evolution — a new beginning — in Western painting's history (Malevich).
