Form

By tracing the way that distinctions (or acts of severance or abstraction) are represented, it is possible to begin to reconstruct the basic forms underlying linguistic, mathematical, physical, and biological science, as well as to see how the familiar laws of individual experience follow inexorably from the original act of distinction. Such acts of distinction draw boundaries in our universe. Although all forms, and thus all universes, are possible, and any particular form is probabilistic or mutable, it becomes evident that the laws relating such forms may be symmetric in any universe. Mathematics can be used in the study of forms to determine if their nature is independent of how they actually appear.
