    5? to R, and retains the remainder; but what it retains is “new prison,” a uianoevis that falls under the law of R, and does not co-operate with its inode when the latter becomes medium to S.] At the end of the arc all the old prison is accumulated in d, with the new (•(100002, total). Meanwhile S, the refuser, although descending as far as d, is bent upon maintaining itself chiefly in a;. When the arc stops—on account of an equilibrium at d, between the opponent and prison on the one hand, and the positive and medium on the other—S is x's only mode ; or, otherwise expressed, the periphery is unimodal. Superether has- developed to ether, the dominant essence of which is e (Tab. V., 1st sub-eye.) This goes to say that the egc has introformed in ether, or as ether, which is the- first essence having any right to be classed an “ element ” (Def. ad v.) Chapter 4.—Ascending Arc of the First Subcycle. Return to Superether. Eepose, for intellect, . . . consists in action without being disturbed by anything foreign.1— Plotinus, Enneads, V., L. 3, c. 7. (ap. Bouillet). The medium has taken sides with the positive, and the alterant cause is thus nearly 15 equiv. against 1 of the dianoevic centre d. The opponent, which was inviting mode of the other arc, now becomes refuser, whilst the positive expresses- invitation. T assimilates R, and transmits the whole without retaining anything (or S assimilates T for the same amount). The total of assimilation during the arc is the same as on the first arc, less what corresponds to the new prison made at that time. Hence the new prison gives the loss in dianoevis undergone by the positive during this subcycle ; as well as the corresponding profit of T as a whole in its twofold character. [Profit, because, whilst under the previous cycle the development of prison only meant a transfer of dianoevis T to the control of R, but retaining its mode (T), that development now arises from assimilation which implies a final loss for the positive mode, and profit for T as a mode, although the immediate gainer therebjr is the opponent.] By virtue of this arc’s direction, and the positive’s ascendency, d is entirely re-involved in e and reduced to potenev, whilst c is partly re-involved in x, and becomes again the only term of the centre, and bimodal. For S’s invitation, seconded by T (in so far as medium, worth S equiv.), aims at centering the modes in x, which is the periphery in respect of soul-matter. Albeit bimodal, as containing the prison, the dianoevic centre’s mod- ality is to ail intents and purposes but one (R), and its dianoevis has risen, com- pared with the former cycle (4, instead of'000000016, Tab. V.). The ego has re- sumed its superethereal form, but on a lowered scale. It is no doubt needless to add that—just as on the 1st arc—the dianoevic centre manifests two terms, d and c, during the ascending arc. That is, by gradually translating itself from d to c, the jn-ison adds a second character to the essence e, which, being already basis of the element (= d e x), becomes, then, as well, one of the terms of the centre. But before the end of the arc, and on falling under 24 equivalents, e loses its character of basis, which then passes over to x; in these conditions the latter essence is basis (not of the element ether, which no longer manifests, but cf the essence superether) and periphery. In fact it is only at the end of the two arcs that the centre is reduced to a siimle term : </, as to the first, e as to the second.
