Changes

In light of these relations between the specialization of thinking and the general capacity for conduct, I can now turn to a logical analysis of the concept of conduct for the light it reflects on the nature of thought.

'''Point 4.''' &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Conduct = (Act, End) = (State₁, State₂, State₃).

Point 4.

One can say that a conduct is a pair comprised of an act and an end.  In this formula, the act can be anything from a complex activity to an extended action and the end can be anywhere among a vast diversity of destinations that are found to be encompassed by a general description.  If it is recognized that the data needed to specify a minimum of action, a mere transition, is an ordered pair of states, and if it is remembered that the data appropriate to specifying a singular end is a single state, then an element of conduct, at its minimum, can be conceived to consist of an ordered triple of states.

Point 5. Reflection, joined to conduct, generates an image of it.
