It is that, while Laszlo centers upon patterns

as nexus and societies.

Thus Hartshorne holds that the term «feeling,» for instance, can be said to be analogical in this sense because, or insofar
as, it applies to all

kinds or levels
of individuals, with its sense being infinitely different in its application to God (1962, 140).
Thus when we ascribe mass to an
entity, we are asserting a

of the Category

of that nexus are bounded, at least with regard to its extensive relations with the world.
«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

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.

The classic example is the insertion
of the «Epochal Theory
of Time» in Science and the Modern World, forcing the eventual transformation
of what, in that book, had initially been a Spinozistic approach to creativity
as the one, undifferentiated underlying activity (with «events»
of varied temporal duration
as the «modes»
of this underlying process) toward the Leibnizian monadology
of actual
entities (each a
kind of time - quantum) that finally appeared subsequently in Process and Reality.

entities, it would have to have some
kind of identity

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.
She argues that it has been a serious mistake for interpreters
of Whitehead «to limit the application
