CHAPTER THIRTEEN


Smaller structures exist within larger structures


Hierarchy

Structures exist at different scales.

Smaller structures exist within larger structures.

Each structure contains other structures.

Containment exists across scale.

Nothing remains without nested containment.

Elements occupy positions.

Small structures exist from grouped elements.

If grouping does not occur, no larger structure exists.

Small structures occupy positions.

They are contained within larger structures.

If containment does not occur, no arrangement remains.

Each structure exists within another structure.

Containment extends across scale.

If containment does not extend, no layered form persists.

Connections exist within small structures.

These structures exist within larger ones.

If small structures fail, larger ones do not remain.

Larger structures depend on contained structures.

Containment defines larger structure.

If contained structures fail, larger structures fail.

Structure exists only through nested containment.

No structure exists in isolation.

If isolation occurs, no structure remains.

If containment fails, nothing remains.

If nothing remains, no arrangement exists.

If no arrangement exists, no relation persists.

Without relation, nothing remains.

Structure exists within structure.

Without this, nothing remains.
