Essences for Trees & Root Projection
From Modes to Essences
The Spiral is constituted out of Modes. As explained, these are complex structures, as complex in their own way, as Types. Their progressive incorporation is difficult and challenging.
However, Modes have a rather simple essence that is easy to recognize and rather natural to consider and value. It is these essences which form a hierarchy that manifests as the Spiral Tree.
Identification of the essences rather naturally leads to a meaningful linkage to . The details provided in the Tables below are sketchy: as indicated, knowledge is uncertain or provisional in many cases. Fuller accounts are available in the related Satellites.
