For anyone having followed this split/thread:
The Principle of Divergence that follows from the Causal Principle is as follows:
The idea of B moving back to A, as introduced by the Causal Principle, introduces the idea of change. That is, B must undergo a change in its movement back to A.
First of all, B can be visualized as a finite frame of expansion moving outwardly toward A, the Absolute.
We can think of the circumference of this sphere as comprising that outermost limit of this finite sphere =B most closely approximating a relation to A.
But how else are we to account for the change implied by the effect, B?
The necessary concept of change can be explained and understood only by introducing the concept of force, or mass, and this can be designated for the sake of simplicity in this explanation, as X.
X can be considered as the derivative force of B, generated by B, through its outward expansion toward A.
If we take again the idea of a finite sphere, then X, would be the derivative force trailing off from B, in its movement to A.
Now it is impossible to think of this finite sphere of expansion B, continuing indefinitely, given this concept of change. Rather, once B’s outward force of expansion was entirely dissipated through its movement toward A, it must then have ceased to undergo expansion, and it would then have fallen/collapsed back to the point from which its expansion originated.
Having returned to its originating point, a successive stage of expansion would then have ensued, due to the Constant state of B’s Cause; and this successive stage would have again reached a certain finite limit, and it as well would have collapsed to this same originating point following the complete dissipation of its outward force of expansion.
What is proposed is therefore a successive series of expanding and contracting stages, but this series must be thought of as intensifying from one stage to the next. With each stage B would have followed from its originating point with a greater degree of intensity than the preceding stage; and the factor of X, being the derivative of B’s expansion, would also have also increased in its degree of intensity with each stage of expansion.
X can furthermore be thought of as a divergent force in relation to B.
Whereas B remained the outermost limit to each sphere of expansion, X, would have trailed off as the derivative force from B, and as a force that can be understood as being in opposition to B.
This can be explained in that while B marked the outermost limit to each sphere of expansion it would have retained a pure, undifferentiated form, as that force with the greatest degree of intensity, and rate of expansion; while X, being the derivative of B, or that force that trailed off from B, in its expansion, would have diverged further and further away from this pure undifferentiated outermost force B, into a mass of more disproportionate and material forces, from one stage to the next.
With each stage these two forces, B and X, would have diverged further and further from each other, with B remaining a pure force that marked the outermost limit to each stage of expansion, and X, diverging off into a mass of forces increasingly differentiated in their form from this pure, outermost force.
X can also in this be thought of as the counterforce generated by B, in its expansion to A; and this force X would have acted as a counterforce to B that brought about the collapse of these forces as a whole (X and B) back to the originating point for each stage within this series.
At this originating point both X and B would then have been brought into a unified state, and the following stage of expansion ensuing from this originating point, where X and B were unified, would have followed with a greater intensity, due to the accumulation of these forces being concentrated upon this same point.
The driving force for this series must again be understood as the Absolute, Constant state of the Cause compelling B in its movement back to the Absolute. Whereas the forces X and B, generated through this series, being unified at their originating point, would have resulted in a greater intensity of expansion due to the cumulative effect of these forces generated from one stage to the next.
It is impossible to think of such an intensifying series as having continued without end however. These intensifying forces, where X and B continued to undergo further divergence from each other with each successive stage, must inevitably have obtained to a critical stage beyond which they could undergo no further divergence.
This then follows through to the next principle to be explained. Refer to post #4.
