Publisher's Synopsis

Excerpt from The Evolution of Continuity in the Natural World

What the phrase Evolution Of Continuity really indicates is that there are a number Of different types, kinds, or species of living Continuity, and we shall presently try to show that this is the case; and also that, funda mentally, natural living evolution has passed upwards through a regularly ascending scale of Continuity-types.

How there can be different types Of Continuity can easily be shown if we make use again of our beads. Let us place a large number on a tray. Each single bead has, it is true, its own Continuity Which preserves its bead-identity and holds its bead-molecules together; but we shall ignore this and take the single bead as our unit.

First Of all we begin by arranging the whole collection in a state Of Discontinuity, no two beads touching each other. The beads are the discontinuous units.
