“Now you know what I mean by structures as the inherently regenerative local constellar subpatternings of Universe. Since by my own definition Universe is the historically synchronous aggregate of all men’s consciously apprehended and communicated (to self or others) experiences, and since the experiences are each finite but nonsimultaneous, Universe is a nonsimultaneous yet dynamically synchronous structure, which is unitarily nonconceptual as of any one moment, yet as an aggregate of finites is sum-totally finite. Thus we realize that finite structures are mostly nonconceptual in any momentary sense, though certain local structures in Universe are momentarily conceptual, such for instance as the continually transforming historical aggregate of men’s experiences packaged together in the words “Planet Earth.” This may be a difficult introduction to the subject of structures but it sets the stage for further thought searching on a subject whose heretofore illusory ‘static solidness’ has completely misled human thought and occasioned the last century’s discoveries of science to be perversely surprising information seemingly to be dealt with only by geniuses.”
