When I had all the events distributed under those headings, I then took the groups of itemized events within the separate categories and arranged them in order of relative severity. None defied placement within this order of severity magnitude. When I had finished a truly surprising realization occurred.
"What I saw as that the more severe the event, the less frequently did it recur. Earthquakes were far less frequent than bugs.
“I saw that the whole complex of everyday reality which compounded to constitute ‘the environment’ continuity was altogether identifiable as pure quantum mechanics. It could therefore be treated with rigorously as a design science.”
“Furthermore, its discovery as constituting quantum mechanics”
