| System 4 Terms: Robert Campbell 2005 |
A visual representation of the nine terms of System 4 are shown. The meaning implicit within each Term
derives from the orientation of the four active Centers and the energy flows that link them up in each case. All
meaning derives from the way the System works, since it embraces all possible structural varieties of
experience. Any number of languages may be derived from it. A more rigorous detailed account is given in
Science and Cosmic Order: A New Prospectus. A more readable general account is given in Fisherman's
Guide to the Cosmic Order. A basic outline of the Terms and how they work is given below. This should be
sufficient for the interested reader to get an initial insight as to how it applies in our nervous system.

Note: Active interfaces between a common inside and outside are represented by active surfaces consistent with System 1. They
are called Centers (C1, C2, etc.) since each has an active center designated by Light (L) that relates across one or more active
interfaces to a common periphery represented by Darkness (D). Everything that we perceive in phenomenal experience involves
active interfaces. Everything from atoms and molecules to light itself consists of a form of electromagnetic energy and its
derivatives relating to itself across active interfaces. Most active interfaces or Centers are represented by plane surfaces of
indefinite extent. This generally indicates archetypal characteristics that are not necessarily bounded in themselves. For example
it may represent the processes of cells but not necessarily all the cells in one human body, only those affected, and it also
relates to all human bodies. Closed Centers are represented by a Triad of ellipses. Only triadic relationships are mutually closed
and defined in spatial extent, in the way that System 3 defines one atom. This can work in a variety of ways in the higher Systems.

System 4 Terms
MORE ON THE TERMS AND THEIR TRANSFORMATIONS:
The human nervous system will be used to exemplify each of the nine Terms and how they work in a general
way. If the reader wants more detail, synapse by synapse, refer to the articles listed on the Home page entitled
Human Nervous System - Part 1- Spinal Cord and Human Nervous System - Part 2 - Cerebellum.
The Universal Hierarchy:
As explained elsewhere on the website there is a System 4 hierarchy involving four active Centers(C) that
implicitly give direction to one another as follows:
(C1)IDEA ->(C2)KNOWLEDGE ->(C3)ROUTINE ->(C4)FORM
This is an elaboration of the System 3 hierarchy. Knowledge is distinguished from Idea in System 4, since a
monolithic Idea does not allow of diverse phenomena. The distinction thus derives from the same Rift in
Wholeness that gives rise to Systems 2 and 3 from System 1. Each higher System must elaborate on the
nature of universal wholeness through the creative process.
The words associated with each Center are very general indications of meaning associated with the structural
development of meaning within each of the nine System 4 Terms as they may apply in any circumstance.
It is noteworthy, in fact remarkable, that these four words structurally define coherent meaning within each
Term as they dynamically relate to one another in the evolving matrix of interactions. We can easily see that
the hierarchy applies to any human activity. There is always an Idea that gives direction to our learned
Knowledge that in turn directs a Routine of visceral and muscular activity that results in an altered Form of the
body with respect to the Form of the environment. The hierarchy is universal and is designated by Term 9 of
System 4.
The following few introductory comments are repeated here from the article Human Nervous System - Part 1-
Spinal Cord. If we focus on the nerve and muscular processes that animate us we can see that the four words
in the universal hierarchy have biological correlates as follows:
C1 - Idea is associated with the Electronic Processes going on in our central nervous system (CNS). There is
a specific pattern of electrochemical activity associated with the generation of every idea.
C2 - Knowledge reflects our history of learning, including our evolutionary history as a species. Knowledge is
implicit in the neurological structure of our bodies that allows us to integrate our experience meaningfully. This
includes our personal history of learning and the synaptic connections that have developed in our nervous
system as a result. Knowledge in this biological respect thus embraces how Cell Processes are organized to
relate together. Knowledge is invested in our body's infrastructure, particularly its neural organization.
C3 - Routine relates to ongoing Body Processes, to the muscular actions that animate us and the activity of
visceral processes such as breathing, blood supply, digestion etc., that fuels muscular activity. Body
Processes involve the concerted activity of the body's organs.
C4 - Form relates to the physical form of the environment, that is, to its material composition. The human body
is clothed in atoms and molecules just as all things with physical form are. The integration of the body's actions
thus alters its external physical Form with respect to ongoing Environmental Processes, that is, with respect
to the flux of physical circumstance that the body interacts with.
We can thus reinterpret the universal hierarchy as it biologically relates to human behavior as follows:
(C1)Electronic Processes ->(C2)Cell Processes ->(C3) Body Processes ->(C4)Environmental Processes
(C1) Idea ->(C2)Knowledge ->(C3)Routine ->(C4)Form
The Particular Sets and Term Sequences:
The above four Centers define the meaning implicit within each of the nine Terms. Six of the Terms are
particular and three Sets of Particular Centers follow through a repeating Six Step Term Sequence in the
following order:
1.-T1 - Perception of need in relation to response capacity.
2.-T4 - Ordered sensory input alternately from the environment or simulated.
3.-T2 - Creation of idea as a potential action response or creative concept.
4.-T8 - Balanced response to sensory input stimuli as a motor output to muscles.
5.-T5 - Action sequence of muscular activity with proprioceptive feedback.
6.-T7 - Sequence encoded as a unit memory for recall to T1 and another sequence.
All of the Particular Terms except T8 have an Expressive Mode that is causally conditioned from past
experience, and a Regenerative Mode that simulates an anticipated action. The Particular T8E is always
Expressive and acts as a pivot for transformations between Expressive and Regenerative Sequences. A total
of 12 Steps are thus required for all three Sets to complete a whole sequence of 3 Four Step Cycles. In each
Step, Expressive and Regenerative Particular Terms from the three Sets interact to span past and future. This
integrates history. The Transform Sequences are tabulated in the chart below.
The three Sets follow one another through the Twelve Step Sequence one Step apart. Each such Sequence
follows a corresponding path through the nervous system, synapse by synapse. There can be many parallel
Particular Sequences active at once through parallel neural pathways since the nervous system is structured
with the same number of synaptic junctions in each pathway. The Universal Sets integrate all Particular
pathways into a coherently organized and meaningful activity.
The Primary Universal Set and Its Transform Sequence:
Term 9 is the Universal Hierarchy associated with the Primary Universal Set U1. It begins each Cycle in the
Term 9 position where it stays for two Steps. T9 has universal access to relevant memories from the Quantum
Sensorium called the Void. Then it transforms mid Cycle to a Regenerative UT8R term concerned with
universally balancing available energy resources to fuel action needs in all the various Particular pathways. It
budgets energy expenditures. Each Cycle ends after four Steps when the Primary Universal Set transforms
from UT8R back to T9 to begin the next Cycle.
The Secondary Universal Set and Its Transform Sequence:
The Secondary Universal Set U2 begins each Cycle in the Term 3 Position concerned with the Transference
of Idea into Form. As T9 accesses relevant Ideas as memories, T3 integrates them as a coherent action plan.
In Step 2 of each Cycle U2 transforms to T6 which is the Corporeal Body of a whole human being. Term 6
does not transform in Step 3 but the Primary Universal Set transforms to UT8R which coheres with it. This
explicitly budgets resources to an integrated action plan implicit in T6. In Step 4 the T6 Term transforms to a
universal T2E idea term, where UT8R coheres with it again. This explicitly distributes resources to the planned
Idea pattern. At the end of each Cycle both Universal Sets transform back to their original positions.
Summary of Term Transformations Step by Step:
System 4 may be summarized in chart form as follows. Expressive and regenerative particular terms, as well
as universal terms, are shown for each sequential Step. Regenerative Terms are shown in bold.
Step Set 1 Set 2 Set 3 Set U1 Set U2 Cycle

10 T1R T2E T5E T9 T6
11 T4R T8E T7E T8R T6
12 T2R T5R T1E T8R T2E
New sensory input from the environment comes via T4E in Set 3 in Step 1. Sensory input T4E is always
tensionally coupled to memory recall T7R to begin a related simulation sequence that will anticipate an
appropriate response. Memory recall must always be coupled to sensory input in order for our thoughts,
feelings, and actions to be relevant to ongoing circumstantial input.
The human nervous system will be used to exemplify each of the nine Terms and how they work in a general
way. If the reader wants more detail, synapse by synapse, refer to the articles listed on the Home page entitled

The Universal Hierarchy:
As explained elsewhere on the website there is a System 4 hierarchy involving four active Centers(C) that
implicitly give direction to one another as follows:
(C1)IDEA ->(C2)KNOWLEDGE ->(C3)ROUTINE ->(C4)FORM
This is an elaboration of the System 3 hierarchy. Knowledge is distinguished from Idea in System 4, since a
monolithic Idea does not allow of diverse phenomena. The distinction thus derives from the same Rift in
Wholeness that gives rise to Systems 2 and 3 from System 1. Each higher System must elaborate on the
nature of universal wholeness through the creative process.
The words associated with each Center are very general indications of meaning associated with the structural
development of meaning within each of the nine System 4 Terms as they may apply in any circumstance.
It is noteworthy, in fact remarkable, that these four words structurally define coherent meaning within each

The above four Centers define the meaning implicit within each of the nine Terms. Six of the Terms are
particular and three Sets of Particular Centers follow through a repeating Six Step Term Sequence in the
following order:
1.-T1 - Perception of need in relation to response capacity.
2.-T4 - Ordered sensory input alternately from the environment or simulated.
3.-T2 - Creation of idea as a potential action response or creative concept.
4.-T8 - Balanced response to sensory input stimuli as a motor output to muscles.
5.-T5 - Action sequence of muscular activity with proprioceptive feedback.
6.-T7 - Sequence encoded as a unit memory for recall to T1 and another sequence.
All of the Particular Terms except T8 have an Expressive Mode that is causally conditioned from past
experience, and a Regenerative Mode that simulates an anticipated action. The Particular T8E is always
Expressive and acts as a pivot for transformations between Expressive and Regenerative Sequences. A total
of 12 Steps are thus required for all three Sets to complete a whole sequence of 3 Four Step Cycles. In each
Step, Expressive and Regenerative Particular Terms from the three Sets interact to span past and future. This

The Secondary Universal Set and Its Transform Sequence:
The Secondary Universal Set U2 begins each Cycle in the Term 3 Position concerned with the Transference
of Idea into Form. As T9 accesses relevant Ideas as memories, T3 integrates them as a coherent action plan.
In Step 2 of each Cycle U2 transforms to T6 which is the Corporeal Body of a whole human being. Term 6
does not transform in Step 3 but the Primary Universal Set transforms to UT8R which coheres with it. This
explicitly budgets resources to an integrated action plan implicit in T6. In Step 4 the T6 Term transforms to a
universal T2E idea term, where UT8R coheres with it again. This explicitly distributes resources to the planned
Idea pattern. At the end of each Cycle both Universal Sets transform back to their original positions.
Summary of Term Transformations Step by Step:
System 4 may be summarized in chart form as follows. Expressive and regenerative particular terms, as well
as universal terms, are shown for each sequential Step. Regenerative Terms are shown in bold.

New sensory input from the environment comes via T4E in Set 3 in Step 1. Sensory input T4E is always
tensionally coupled to memory recall T7R to begin a related simulation sequence that will anticipate an
appropriate response. Memory recall must always be coupled to sensory input in order for our thoughts,
feelings, and actions to be relevant to ongoing circumstantial input.
THE PARTICULAR SETS TRANSFORM SEQUENCE:
Since each Cycle begins with sensory input from the environment via a T4E Terms we will begin with that
Term in Set 3 above and follow through the sequence Term by Term. For simplicity the expressive and
regenerative modes of each Term will be considered together in relation to the same Term diagram. Keep in
mind that the regenerative version of the Particular Term comes six sequence Steps later. It always involves
Centers 1 and 2 changing places.

Term 4E, Organized Input, Sensory Input from the Environment:
From the diagram it can be seen that Idea C1 and Knowledge C2 coalesce together face to face and relate
through one another via Routine C3 to environmental Form C4. We can thus see that the electronic processes
C1 of cell processes C2 relate body processes C3 to the Form C4 of the environment. This means the
electronics of how our cells are organized relates us to the environment. Every peripheral nerve cell of a
sensory nature in our body represents us and keeps us in touch with what is physically happening "out there."
This is represented in the diagram by the coalesced relational wholes R2 and R3. Counter-current to this
coalesced representation of the body's processes C3, sensory input from the environment is represented by
R1.

Term T4R, Organized Input, Simulated Proprioceptive Input:
This Term is the same as above except that the R1 Relational Whole from the environment relates back
through Center 2 instead of through Center 1. It is a simulated input about the anticipated change in the
environmental Form of the body and it relates back to the cell processes in the Central Nervous System (CNS)
that can be activated to produce that change. The skeletal muscles all have proprioceptive sensory organs
embedded within them called muscle spindles. These spindles monitor the relative position of the body's
various parts with respect to their environmental Form. They also have a dual structure that allows them to be
activated independently of the parent muscle, so that they can simulate an action before it is carried out. This
allows an anticipated future action to be reconciled with a conditioned response that is driven from the past.
Past and future, space and time can be intelligently integrated by this synchronous input to the Central
Nervous System (CNS) from the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). (For this reason this Term is sometimes called
Mental Work.) It concerns the organization of the body's Form with respect to the environment.

T2E, Expressive Creation of a Responsive Idea:
In the Sequence Transformation from T4 to T2 body processes C3 invert to focus inward as a result of a
synapse from the PNS input to the CNS. This involves the perceptual transposition of C3 such that it turns
around to face C1 and C2 in the T2 Term, whereas it contained them in the T4 Term. Now body processes C3
contains C4 instead, such that environmental input is represented within it. The sensory input from the
environment R1 now it relates from C4 through C3 to electronic processes C1 in the CNS. These electronic
processes C1 are involved in a triadic relationship with cell processes C2 as they are topologically organized
with body processes C3 in the spinal cord and higher areas of the CNS. R1 is now an Idea pattern of electronic
activation in the CNS as a result of the initial sensory input from the PNS in T4. R1 is a pattern of inter-neuron
connections from the dorsal sensory areas where input first synapses to the ventral motor areas of the spinal
cord where instructions are sent out to muscles. In the T2E Term the nature of the expressive idea is
pre-conditioned by accustomed responses to a similar pattern of inputs. The responsive idea is automated, as
in a learned reflexive action idea.

T2R, Regenerative Creation of a Responsive Idea:
In the regenerative version of the Term the R1 Relational Whole is completed via cell processes C2, rather
than via electronic processes C1. The simulated proprioceptive input bridges the sensory and motor areas of
the spinal column. In doing so it designates an anticipated target pattern of motor neurons that will result in a
different motor output to muscles from that of an automated T2E Term. The anticipated target pattern can still
be modified by inputs from other sources, including inter-neuron connections in the spinal cord and
descending inputs from higher brain centers, but it nevertheless represents a desired corrective response
anticipating a future result.

T8E, Balanced Motor Response to Sensory Input:
In the Sequence Transformation from T2 to T8E, cell processes Center 2 perceptually transpose to contain
C4, C3 & C1. R1 continues to be represented as sensory input from the environment. Now, however, there is a
counter-current Relational Whole R2 that represents a motor response as balanced output to the sensory
input R1. This initiates as an electronic output via C1 that objectively relates to body processes C3 that it
faces to complete the relationship to environmental process C4 within body processes. All this takes place with
the context of cell processes C2.
There are two projections P1 and P2. P2 initiates in C1 which represents the electronic expenditure of
energy in relation to all cells process involved C2. P1 represents an energy expenditure as food from the
environment C4 via body processes C3 to sustain Cells C2. The commitment of energy to the motor sequence
must find a balanced supply source. The particular T8 Term is always in the expressive mode. The
regenerative mode involves distributing budgeted energy resources to a fully integrated action pattern
embracing all parallel particular pathways.

T5R, Regenerative Muscle Action & Proprioceptive Feedback:
The Sequence Transformation from T8E to T5R involves symmetrical perceptual transpositions. C3
perceptually transposes to face C4 and contain C2 and C1, while C2 perceptually transposes to relate out
through C1 and C3 to C4. The Relation Whole R2 still represents the pattern of motor response determined in
T8E. Cell processes C2, established through learned responses, now direct electronic processes to activate
body processes C3 of selected muscles to objectively alter the environmental Form of the body, integrated as
it is with the molecular makeup of the universe. Muscle fibers exhibit action potentials just as neurons do and
their activation moves the skeletal muscles of the body to alter its relative Form.
R1 now represents proprioceptive feedback from the action sequence of muscles. The muscle spindles in
this case move with the parent muscle to monitor its change in shape and thus the relative Form of the body's
various parts as they spatially relate to the physical Form of the environment. This proprioceptive information
is fed back within body processes C3 by electronic processes C1 that relate to the cell processes involved in
the action sequence. A regenerative sequence is initiated with the T5R Term.

T5E, Expressive Muscle Action Sequence and Propriocpetive Feedback:
The expressive mode results from a prior regenerative sequence and vice versa. The T8E Term is the pivot
between expressive and regenerative sequences. This means that an expressive action is more creative than
a regenerative action that has been learned through experience. If we inadvertently trip on an unseen
obstacle, we often have learned action response patterns that automatically come the fore to correct very
quickly. This history of learning is regenerative in this sense in the T5R Term above.
However the regenerative sequence that precedes the T5E Term involves an electronic simulation of an
anticipated and more creatively original response pattern that can come into play an instant later. For instance
it can adjust movements so that a fragile article is not dropped as a result of the stumble. In this case it is the
electronically simulated pattern C1 that directs cell processes C2 in the expressive mode of the Term. C1 and
C2 switch places in the way the term works. An expressive sequence is initiated with the T5E Term

T7R, Sequence Encoded as a Unit Memory & New Sequence Recalled:
The Sequence Transformation from T5 to T7 involves another pair perceptual transpositions. Both C1 and
C2 perceptually transpose to contain C3 & C4 which coalesce together. The action sequence is represented
as an element of technique between body processes as Routines C3 and body Form C4. With C3 & C4 thus
coalesced intimately together as one, they relate as the core of memory out through electronic processes as
Idea C1 and cell processes as Knowledge C2. The action sequence involving all of the cells in the sequence is
encoded as an element of memory in the Void. It is also encoded in protein synthesis in axons & dendrites that
elaborates on their synaptic connections as elements of learning. It can also condition and build muscles. The
electronic processes involved direct the cell processes accordingly. In the process there is also an electronic
balancing of energy accounts as they relate to cell processes.
Simultaneous with memory storage is a compatible pattern of memory recall and a budgeting of energy needs
for a new action sequence. Terms 1, 7 & 4 always occur together in different Sets and recall is always
tensionally coupled to sensory input T4. Memory always relates to current circumstance.
The Sequence Transformation from T5 to T7 involves another pair perceptual transpositions. Both C1 and
C2 perceptually transpose to contain C3 & C4 which coalesce together. The action sequence is represented
as an element of technique between body processes as Routines C3 and body Form C4. With C3 & C4 thus
coalesced intimately together as one, they relate as the core of memory out through electronic processes as
Idea C1 and cell processes as Knowledge C2. The action sequence involving all of the cells in the sequence is
encoded as an element of memory in the Void. It is also encoded in protein synthesis in axons & dendrites that
elaborates on their synaptic connections as elements of learning. It can also condition and build muscles. The
electronic processes involved direct the cell processes accordingly. In the process there is also an electronic
balancing of energy accounts as they relate to cell processes.

T7E, Sequence Encoded as a Unit Memory & New Sequence Recalled:
The expressive mode of the Term works much the same except that C1 and C2 change places. This means
that the core of memory as a coalesced element of technique between C3=C4 projects out first through the
cell processes involved C2 thence out through the pattern of electronic processes that were actually involved
in the sequence. This represents an accounting of electronic processes actually expended as opposed to a
budgeting as in the T7R Term. These two must balance one another in successive sequences through the
parallel pathways of the body. This is accomplished through the agency of the Universal Sets that integrate all
Particular Sets.

T1R, Motor Simulation of a Perceived Response to Need:
The Sequence Transformation from T7 to T1 preserves the paired relationship between C3 & C4 as well as
between C1& C2. They coalesce in pairs such that C1 and C3 are mutually aligned subjectively as they relate
objectively to their respective partners C2 and C4. Electronic processes C1 are coalesced with cell processes
C2 such that they mutually relate to a coalesced element of recalled technique C3=C4. Since the electronic
processes are subjectively aligned with body processes this represents an electronic motor simulation in the
body consistent with a recalled action pattern. The biological structures to accommodate this are the gamma
motor neurons in the ventral motor areas of the spinal column that project to muscle spindles. This motor
simulation thus projects a motor pattern out to motor spindles where they enact an actual muscle simulation
that generates propriocpetive sensory input in the T4R Term that follows. For a more complete description see
Human Nervous System - Part 1 and Part 2.

T1E, Response Capacity in Relation to Perceived Need:
Centers 1 and 2 switch places in the expressive mode as usual. Now cell processes C2 are subjectively
aligned with body processes C3 as these are coalesced as a recalled action pattern that will alter the Form C4
of the body. Cell processes C2 now relate objectively via their coalescence to electronic processes. This
represents the electronic capacity of the body's cell processes to respond to the recalled action pattern
C3=C4. Membrane potentials must be restored in readiness for the next action sequence. If these cell
processes are not electronically prepared the capacity to respond is impaired, and the action sequence may
require serious revision due to exhaustion or injury.

PRIMARY UNIVERSAL SET (U1) TRANSFORM SEQUENCE:
The primary universal set always begins each Cycle as the T9 Term which is the universal hierarchy. It stays
in the T9 position for two Steps then it transforms to the T8R Term where it stays for another two Steps before
transforming back to the T9 Term to begin a new Cycle.

T9, The Universal Hierarchy, Discretionary Access to the Void:
As the diagram illustrates Idea->Knowledge->Routine->Form. This was discussed above. This is a universal
pattern to creative activity. The germ of an Idea in the electronic processes of our brains directs our
accumulated Knowledge which in turn directs the Routines of our body's processes that direct the change in
our behavioral Form as part of the physical environment. This hierarchy gives us intuitive access to the
memory resources of the Void consistent with the circumstances of current sensory input in Step 1 of each
Cycle. The memory recalled is a T7 Term where the coalesced element of technique is contained within the
germ of the Idea.

T8R, Integrated Motor Response Budgeting Diverse Energy Needs:
The transformation to T8R involves dual perceptual transpositions. C1 turn around to contain the other three
Centers while C3 and C4 turn around to face C2. The Relational Whole R1 represents the integrated pattern of
sensory input from the environment C4 through body processes C3 to be represented topologically in cell
processes. R2 represents the topologically organized motor patterns in cell processes C2 that project through
body processes C3 to the body's environmental Form C4. All this happens within the context of electronic
processes C1.
The projection P2 from cell processes C2 out through electronic processes C1 indicates the electronic energy
needs of the cell processes involved in the action sequence. The projection P1 indicates the available energy
resources as food from the environment C4 digested by body processes C3 to balance needs P2 with
distributed supply to electronic processes. Available resources are thus budgeted to meet energy demands.
This Term coheres with the Secondary Universal Terms in Steps 3 and 4 to effect the distrinution to the
corporeal body.

corporeal body.
SECONDARY UNIVERSAL SET (U2) TRANSFORM SEQUENCE:
The secondary universal set begins each Cycle in the T3 Term position in Step 1. In Step 2 it transforms to
the T6 position where it stays for two Steps to bridge U1 transformation from T9 to T8R. Then in Step 4 it
transforms to a universal T2E Term before transforming back to T3 to begin a new Cycle.

T3, Transference of Idea into Form via the Coalescence of Routine & Knowledge:
The Centers are universal as they relate to a whole human body. There is a central partial coalescence
between Routine body processes C3 and Knowledge implicit in cell processes C2. It is illustrated by R 1 and
R2. Through this coalescence body processes C3 relate to Idea as electronic processes C1 as illustrated by
R4. Likewise, in the opposite direction, cell processes C2 relate to environmental Form C4 as illustrated by R3.
This two way transference between Idea and Form takes place within the overall context of R5 and R6.
In R6 sensory input is represented from the environment C4 through body processes C3 as they are
coalesced with cell processes C2 and as identified in electronic processes C1. This represents an overall Idea
pattern of sensory input. R5 represents a balanced motor Idea response as an electronic patterned output
through cell processes C2 that relate through coalescence with body processes C3 to the environmental Form
of the body C4.
The Term does not represent an ongoing action but rather the assimilation of an integrated action plan. The
partial coalescence between C2=C3 bridges the coalescence C3=C4 as the core of memory in the T7 Term
with the coalescence C1=C2 in the sensory input T4 Term. Recall is thus linked to sensory input. This gives the
term eternal characteristics and access to the Void in concert with T9.

T6, Corporeal Body Explicitly Clothed in Physical Form:
The Transformation from T3 to T6 in Step 2 involves dual perceptual transpositions. C4 turns around to
contain the other three Centers that transpose to face one another in a triadic relationship. Triadic
relationships of the kind between C1, C3 & C3 always invest the Centers involved with closure. Closed Centers
only occur in triadic relationships. This always places spatial boundaries on the extent of each separate Center
as it relates to the other two Centers in the triad.
In this case C1, C2 & C3 are represented within the context of the physical Form C4 of a whole human being.
Integrated Idea as an explicit pattern of electronic processes C1 relates to cell processes C2 that embody
Knowledge in their explicit relationship to the Routines of body processes C3 that likewise relate back to
electronic processes that animate them. Each of these three Centers assumes a specific closed pattern within
the physical molecular structure of the body's environmental Form C4. In Step 2 the specific Idea pattern
recalled in Step 1 is manifest in this relationship. It is also intimately associated with the U1 T9 Term which
progresses from Idea C1 in Step 1 to Knowledge C2 in Step 2. The body Knows how to further direct the Idea
in Step 2 in accord with a regenerative motor simulation T1R, also taking into account proprioceptive feedback
in a synchronous T5E action sequence.
In Step 3 the T6 Term does not transform, but the U1 Set transforms to T8R which coheres with T6. The
Primary Universal Set can not exist directly as a thing in space-time. It is archetypal and must remain confined
within Particular Wholes which in this case is represented by the secondary universal Term T6 as a whole
human body. The counter-current identities R1 and R2 tunnel through the Centers of the triad linking them up
in pairs. This invests each of the triad Centers with a subjective to objective identity with respect to its two
partners, in a self-similar way to the two Sets in the Space Frame of System 3. In this System 4 elaboration of
System 3, the linking up occurs within the context of electronic processes C1 which become aligned with the
molecular constituents of the whole body C4. In the process T8R budgets electronic resources to the body as
needed to enact the an action pattern being simulated in a synchronous T4R Term in muscle spindles
throughout the body.

progresses from Idea C1 in Step 1 to Knowledge C2 in Step 2. The body Knows how to further direct the Idea
in Step 2 in accord with a regenerative motor simulation T1R, also taking into account proprioceptive feedback
in a synchronous T5E action sequence.
In Step 3 the T6 Term does not transform, but the U1 Set transforms to T8R which coheres with T6. The
Primary Universal Set can not exist directly as a thing in space-time. It is archetypal and must remain confined
within Particular Wholes which in this case is represented by the secondary universal Term T6 as a whole

partners, in a self-similar way to the two Sets in the Space Frame of System 3. In this System 4 elaboration of
System 3, the linking up occurs within the context of electronic processes C1 which become aligned with the
molecular constituents of the whole body C4. In the process T8R budgets electronic resources to the body as
needed to enact the an action pattern being simulated in a synchronous T4R Term in muscle spindles
throughout the body.
T2E, Integrated Universal Idea Pattern:
In Step 4 of each Cycle the T6 Term inverts to a universal T2E Term. With electronic resources appropriately
budgeted for, the integrated Idea pattern R1, that was simulated as relating to environmental proprioceptive
input C4, is superimposed on the triadic relationship between C1, C2 & C3. The U1 T8R Term again coheres
with this universal T2E Term which is also synchronous with a pattern of T2R Particular Terms resulting from
the simulated activity in the previous Step. The integrated expression of this simulated regenerative pattern
requires reconciliation with the actual distribution of available energy resources. This must take into account a
synchronous T1E Particular Term which reflects the performance ability of the action pattern involved and its
specific needs.

Recurrent Cycles:
With each 4 Step Cycle a new Cycle begins, with new T4E input from the environment but via a different
Particular Set. Three Particular Sets transform one Step apart through the six Step sequence as it relates to
each Particular Pathway through the body. There can be any number of parallel Particular Pathways such as
from each of the fingers and toes, and all these pathways will be coherently integrated by the two Universal
Sets working in concert together.
For more on how this works synapse by synapse refer the following articles on the website:
Part 2 shows how the Cerebellum integrates and reconciles spinal, vestibular, and cerebral inputs and
outputs, so it effectively shows how these main processes are meaningfully integrated and function synapse
by synapse in the whole human nervous system.
