CYCLE SEVENTEEN

1. By and large, that which is particle-based, and therefore objective, is negative, whereas that which is wavicle-centred, and therefore subjective, is positive. Negativity devolves in due extensive fashion, whereas positivity evolves intensively within the wavicle.

2. Obviously there are degrees of negativity and positivity within any given element, since all elements are a combination of particle and wavicle factors, even though some elements will favour the negative and others the positive.

3. There can be no doubt that the space-time metachemistry of photons/photinos will favour, in its noumenal objectivity, the negative, or particle, component, as it devolves from most particles/least wavicles to least particles/most wavicles via more (relative to most) particles/less (relative to least) wavicles and less (relative to least) particles/more (relative to most) wavicles.

4. The positive, or wavicle, component will be of secondary significance here, although as one crosses the threshold, so to speak, from more (relative to most) particles/less (relative to least) wavicles to less (relative to least) particles/more (relative to most) wavicles ... the secondary element will tend to prevail over the primary one, making for more positivity overall. But it will remain an objective positivity in which the wavicle component is a secondary element.

5. In the case of the protons/protinos of time-space metaphysics, however, there will be a favouring, through noumenal subjectivity, of the positive, or wavicle, component of the element and/or elementino, as it evolves from least wavicles/most particles to most wavicles/least particles via less (relative to least) wavicles/more (relative to most) particles and more (relative to most) wavicles/less (relative to least) particles.

6. The negative, or particle, component will be of secondary significance here, although before we cross the threshold from less (relative to least) wavicles/more (relative to most) particles to more (relative to most) wavicles/less (relative to least) particles ... the secondary element will tend to prevail over the primary one, making for more negativity overall. But it will be a subjective negativity in which the particle component is a secondary element.

7. Now what applies to the noumenal manifestations of objectivity and subjectivity ... applies just as much to their phenomenal counterparts 'down below', the particle being primary and the wavicle secondary in the case of volume-mass chemistry, but the particle being secondary and the wavicle primary in the case of mass-volume physics.

8. Things devolve, in phenomenal objectivity, from most negativity to least negativity via more (relative to most) and less (relative to least) negativity in primary terms, and from least positivity to most positivity via less (relative to least) and more (relative to most) positivity in secondary terms.

9. Conversely, things evolve, in phenomenal subjectivity, from least positivity to most positivity via less (relative to least) and more (relative to most) positivity in primary terms, and from most negativity to least negativity via more (relative to most) and less (relative to least) negativity in secondary terms.

10. If this were not so, how could the one axis devolve and the other axis evolve? The existence of a secondary factor does little, it would seem, to modify the basic devolutionary or evolutionary predilections of the primary element to which it is affiliated.

11. Nor can we claim that the secondary element evolves where the primary one devolves or, conversely, devolves where the primary one evolves, since objectivity remains extensive and subjectivity intensive. A wavicle can only evolve when it is the primary element, not otherwise, just as devolution of the particle is premised upon its having a primary status in relation to objectivity.

12. Nevertheless, the secondary component of an objective element will condition it towards positivity when wavicles preponderate, which we then identify with a secondary order of positivity.

13. Conversely, the secondary component of a subjective element will condition it towards negativity when particles predominate, and we have what I have termed a secondary order of negativity.

14. Space-time metachemistry and volume-mass chemistry, being objective elements overall, will only have a secondary order of positivity, whereas mass-volume physics and time-space metaphysics, being subjective elements overall, will only have a secondary order of negativity.

15. Negativity will tend to predominate over positivity in the case of the objective elements, whereas positivity will preponderate over negativity in the case of the subjective elements.

16. Hence, when we then go on (as in previous texts) to divide each element into impersonal and personal, or primal/sensual in the outer context and supreme/sensible in the inner one, and do so, moreover, on the basis of a particle/wavicle dichotomy between particle predominance in elemental and molecular subdivisions on the one hand, and wavicle preponderance in molecular and elemental subdivisions on the other hand, we find that its impersonal aspect will have more negativity than positivity, whether in primary or secondary terms, and its personal aspect more positivity than negativity, again whether in primary or secondary terms.

17. From the impersonal negativity of science and politics to the personal positivity of economics and religion, on whatever axis in both outer (untransvaluated/once-born) and inner (transvaluated/re-born) terms, as from elemental/molecular particle predominance to molecular/elemental wavicle preponderance.
