However improbable in a mechanistic sense the elaborate organic structure created by life may appear, it seems increasingly evident that the cosmic substance is drawn toward these states of extreme arrangement by a particular kind of attraction which compels it, by the play of large numbers in which it is involved, to miss no opportunity of becoming more complex and thus achieving a higher degree of freedom.

But the attempt to reduce living systems to such, that is to say formal reductionism, fails in part because the number of possible combinations or classifications is generally immensely larger than the number of degrees of freedom.

One important step in understanding a physical system consisting of a large number of entities — for example, the atoms making up a magnetic material — is to identify among the many degrees of freedom of the system those that are most relevant for its physical behaviour.

Clearly, like Spence UK rightly said, the number of the degrees of freedom will be large.

Owing to the decreased number of spatial degrees of freedom in the earliest reconstructions (associated with significantly decreased calibrated variance before e.g. 1730 for annual - mean and cold - season, and about 1750 for warm - season pattern reconstructions) regional inferences are most meaningful in the mid 18th century and later, while the largest - scale averages are useful further back in time.
