But since this realm of ideas is reflected in our visible, perceptible, and audible reality, the primal concept x must also be present in the manifest world. To put it more precisely, our primal idea x must have a particular representative on every level of reality. Thus, we shall find among animals, plants, minerals, human beings, and musical components, some concrete example that represents x on the plane of reality. If x can not be found on every plane then it does not deserve the title primal idea. On this basis we will construct a matrix consisting of the various levels which run vertically from the primal ideas or principles.

The sense of justification for this arrangement will not yet be clear at this stage. For the time being, it will be enough to accept these correlations for their accuracy is not yet a subject for our consideration. Rather let me make it clear that a primal principle runs vertically through all levels of manifest form. The number of planes is in fact unlimited. Those shown here are only a tiny selection and can be extended indefinitely by the addition of other categories, such as types of vegetable, shares in brewery companies, musical instruments, architectural styles, moods, and so on.
