SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES. (Two-letter Syllables). (Force, Attraction, etc.) {3. ARTICULATIONS. {3. CATEGORIES. _1st Power_. THE ALPHABET {2. SILENCE. 1. METAPHYSICAL PRINCIPLES. {2. NOTHING. (One-letter Syllables). {1. SOUND. {1. SOMETHING. It results from this table that the deep Metaphysical Domain, wherein Aristotle and Kant were laboring to categorize the Universe, is the Alphabetic Domain of Universal Being; and that their profound effort was, so to speak, to discover The Alphabet of the Universe. It also appears that the Syllabarium of the Universe, and typically the open two-letter syllables of Language, as _bi, be, ba_, correspond as analogues with the Physical Principles which lie at the basis of the Sciences; and finally, that the completed Root-Words, typically the closed three-letter syllables, or usual monosyllabic root-words, as _min, men, man_, correspond with the descriptive generalizations or general averages of Natural Science, as _Universe itself, Matter, Mind, Movement_, etc. These analogies need further elaboration and confirmation to render them perfectly clear and to establish them beyond cavil--such as space here does not admit of. Let us hurry on, therefore, to the _Relational_ or Constructive Domains of Language and the Universe, where the analogies are more obvious. The second of Kant's groups of Categories, in the order in which it is most appropriate now to consider them, he denominates RELATION. Relation is _that which intervenes between the_ PARTS _of a_ WHOLE. _Prepositions_ are especially defined in Grammar as words denoting _relations_. Our attention is thus turned in the Domain of Language to the _Parts_ of Speech; and to the Syntax (putting together), or Construction of these Parts into the wholeness of Discourse. This is more specifically the Department of Grammar. Conjointly these are what may be denominated the Relationismus of Language. This is the Domain immediately above the Elementismus. In the same way the division of the human body or any other object into Parts, Limbs, Members, etc., and the recombination of these into a structural whole, arises in the scale of creation above the Domain of Elements (Ultimate, Proximate, Chemical, etc.), this last embracing only the _qualitative_ nature of the _substances_
