Structure Sequence:
"What do we mean by the word structure? I have pondered on it a great deal and have decided to define ‘structure’ literally from a descriptive consideration of its natural occurrence–for instance, its occurrence in chemical elements–for the family of chemical elements and their most complex agglomerations as super star galaxies are alike fundamental structures. It is clear in the results of modern scientific experiment that structures are not things.
“We might define structures descriptively as patterns of inherently regenerative constellar associations of energy events. That sounds intricate and obscure at first so perhaps I had better explain what I mean by each of the terms… For instance, by inherent I mean behavior principles discovered by man always to be reliably operative in Universe under a given set of circumstances. I use the term regenerative because in an all-motion Universe (which Einstein posited and the physicists in due course found to hold true), all the patterns of the Universe are continually but nonsimultaneously affecting all the other patterns of Universe in varying degrees and are continually reduplicating themselves in unique local configu-”
