<p>The highest terms are therefore broadest and the lowest terms the narrowest.  We can take a term so broad that it contains all other spheres under it.  Then it will have no content whatever.  There is but one such term with its synonyms it is ''Being''.  We can also take a term so low that it contains all other content within it.  Then it will have no sphere whatever.  There is but one such term it is ''Nothing''.</p>

<p>We can conceive of terms so narrow that they are next to nothing, that is have an absolutely individual sphere.  Such terms would be innumerable in number.  We can also conceive of terms so high that they are next to ''being'', that is have an entirely simple content.  Such terms would also be innumerable.</p>
