Hierarchy of Patterns:
"It is implicit . . . that mathematics, logic, science, analysis, and teleologic design discipline must all take origin in an hierarchy of patterns, and that initiations at any lesser level are abortive and futile. This is to say that all such present economic criteria as is generated from the limited facets of generalization which seek ‘keys’ or ‘basic building parts’ from which to predict wholes is fallacious and obsolete.
“Conversely, the more comprehensive the pattern originally selected and defined, the more effectively may the contained subpattern reciprocities be identified and treated.”
