First of all, it means that reflection on thinking and reflection on conduct have a reciprocal bearing on each other, the way that special cases and general types always do.  Reflection on thinking can tell us something about reflection on conduct in general.  This is because the special case informs the general type and can be used inductively to discover its possible properties.  Reflection on conduct in general can tell us something about reflection on thinking.  This is because the general type constrains the special case and can be used deductively to derive its necessary properties.

There is more to this point than first meets the eye, especially when it is considered in the light of its abstract form.  Aside from its present application to the matters of reflection, thinking, and conduct, one can see in this instance the form of a distributive law, that distributes an operation (“reflection”) across a relation (“implication” or “inclusion”), and where this order of dyadic relation is the very one that constitutes the ordering of special cases under general forms.  The point of this is that the general intention of this dyadic relation, in its full extension, must be to capture the relation of a special application of any principle (say, a distributive law) to its own general formulation.  For instance, therefore, reflection on a special kind of distribution is a special kind of reflection on distribution in general.

Reflection on conduct produces an image of that conduct.  In relation to the active nature of the conduct the image is just what its etymology says it is, an inactive sign or an inert icon of the action.  The image of a conduct presents itself as a hypothesis about it, a tentative description that may or may not be accurate out of the starting blocks and may or may not continue to be useful in the long run.

'''Point 6.'''     There is a type of reflection that only reproduces the images produced by previous reflections.

Point 6. There is a type of reflection that only reproduces the images produced by previous reflections.

The images produced by this kind of reflection, affected by an imitative or nearly identical character, can be referred to as "reproductions", "stereotypes", or "simple copies".  A reproductive reflection has the option of attaching additional marks to distinguish the reproduced copy from the original image.  If it does add a distinguishing mark or a distinctive notation to identify the source, then one has the type of reproduction that can safely be regarded as a reflective "quotation".
