00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:09.239
We<00:35:05.360><c> have</c><00:35:06.059><c> become</c><00:35:06.659><c> acquainted</c><00:35:07.320><c> with</c><00:35:07.860><c> those</c><00:35:08.179><c> things.</c>

00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:14.099
But<00:35:10.619><c> we</c><00:35:10.860><c> have</c><00:35:11.260><c> understanding</c><00:35:11.920><c> here</c><00:35:12.619><c> in</c><00:35:13.059><c> the</c><00:35:13.219><c> middle</c><00:35:13.559><c> position</c>

00:35:14.099 --> 00:35:15.880
of<00:35:14.480><c> this</c><00:35:14.699><c> hierarchy.</c>

00:35:17.719 --> 00:35:26.760
Understanding,<00:35:19.780><c> we</c><00:35:20.159><c> more</c><00:35:20.380><c> or</c><00:35:20.500><c> less</c><00:35:21.380><c> inherently</c><00:35:25.079><c> recognize,</c>

00:35:27.139 --> 00:35:31.159
means<00:35:27.619><c> that</c><00:35:28.260><c> we</c><00:35:28.679><c> know</c><00:35:29.139><c> something</c><00:35:29.539><c> about</c><00:35:30.019><c> the</c><00:35:30.460><c> relationships</c>

00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:32.960
of<00:35:31.880><c> things.</c>

00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:42.539
For<00:35:34.679><c> example,</c><00:35:36.719><c> you</c><00:35:36.900><c> men</c><00:35:38.039><c> who</c><00:35:39.059><c> work</c><00:35:41.239><c> on</c><00:35:41.500><c> your</c><00:35:41.800><c> automobiles</c>

00:35:42.539 --> 00:35:50.380
have<00:35:43.840><c> an</c><00:35:44.119><c> understanding</c><00:35:44.880><c> of</c><00:35:45.780><c> how</c><00:35:46.800><c> that</c><00:35:47.699><c> particular</c><00:35:48.239><c> mechanism</c><00:35:48.900><c> works.</c>

00:35:51.519 --> 00:35:53.900
That<00:35:51.639><c> is,</c><00:35:52.019><c> you</c><00:35:52.079><c> hope</c><00:35:52.360><c> you</c><00:35:52.659><c> do,</c>

00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:56.619
though<00:35:54.679><c> it's</c><00:35:54.820><c> getting</c><00:35:55.139><c> harder</c><00:35:55.480><c> and</c><00:35:55.679><c> harder</c><00:35:55.880><c> to</c><00:35:56.099><c> understand</c>

00:35:56.619 --> 00:35:57.300
all<00:35:56.900><c> the</c><00:35:57.079><c> time</c>

00:35:57.300 --> 00:35:59.619
as<00:35:57.440><c> it</c><00:35:57.599><c> gets</c><00:35:57.800><c> more</c><00:35:58.099><c> and</c><00:35:58.139><c> more</c><00:35:58.440><c> complicated.</c>

00:36:02.300 --> 00:36:08.300
Understanding<00:36:02.960><c> is</c><00:36:03.619><c> based</c><00:36:04.039><c> upon</c><00:36:04.940><c> knowledge</c><00:36:06.039><c> of</c><00:36:06.800><c> two</c><00:36:07.059><c> things.</c>

00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:16.559
First<00:36:09.940><c> of</c><00:36:10.199><c> all,</c><00:36:11.400><c> facts</c><00:36:11.579><c> and</c><00:36:15.360><c> principles.</c>

00:36:20.739 --> 00:36:37.139
Now,<00:36:25.119><c> a</c><00:36:25.340><c> fact</c><00:36:25.719><c> is</c><00:36:29.460><c> something</c><00:36:30.260><c> that</c><00:36:31.519><c> is</c><00:36:33.639><c> recognized</c><00:36:35.340><c> through</c>

00:36:37.139 --> 00:36:41.699
the<00:36:37.420><c> senses</c><00:36:37.920><c> or</c><00:36:39.079><c> through</c><00:36:40.179><c> the</c><00:36:40.659><c> mind.</c>

00:36:42.199 --> 00:36:46.900
It<00:36:42.980><c> may</c><00:36:43.480><c> be</c><00:36:45.400><c> concrete.</c>

00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:54.519
For<00:36:47.800><c> example,</c><00:36:49.340><c> this</c><00:36:50.920><c> overhead</c><00:36:51.559><c> projector</c><00:36:52.300><c> being</c><00:36:54.079><c> in</c><00:36:54.380><c> front</c>

00:36:54.519 --> 00:36:55.019
of<00:36:54.760><c> you</c>

00:36:55.019 --> 00:36:58.860
is<00:36:55.599><c> a</c><00:36:55.780><c> fact</c><00:36:56.019><c> because</c><00:36:56.440><c> you</c><00:36:56.599><c> can</c><00:36:56.900><c> perceive</c><00:36:57.179><c> it</c><00:36:57.360><c> with</c><00:36:57.599><c> your</c><00:36:57.820><c> senses.</c>

00:37:00.099 --> 00:37:07.860
However,<00:37:00.480><c> there</c><00:37:00.880><c> are</c><00:37:01.539><c> abstract</c><00:37:02.699><c> concepts</c><00:37:04.099><c> such</c><00:37:04.780><c> as</c><00:37:06.219><c> 2</c><00:37:06.780><c> plus</c><00:37:07.260><c> 2</c>

00:37:07.860 --> 00:37:09.699
equals<00:37:08.599><c> 4.</c>

00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:16.559
Of<00:37:13.280><c> course,</c><00:37:13.679><c> that</c><00:37:13.699><c> can</c><00:37:14.000><c> be</c><00:37:14.320><c> illustrated</c><00:37:15.039><c> concretely.</c>

00:37:16.599 --> 00:37:22.440
Nevertheless,<00:37:17.380><c> the</c><00:37:17.500><c> relationship</c><00:37:18.119><c> of</c><00:37:18.380><c> 2</c><00:37:18.719><c> and</c><00:37:18.880><c> 2</c><00:37:19.260><c> equals</c><00:37:19.659><c> 4</c><00:37:20.139><c> is</c><00:37:21.079><c> abstract.</c>

00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:30.860
It<00:37:24.440><c> is</c><00:37:24.699><c> an</c><00:37:24.940><c> abstract</c><00:37:25.760><c> principle</c><00:37:26.699><c> as</c><00:37:28.260><c> well</c><00:37:28.639><c> as</c><00:37:28.980><c> being</c><00:37:29.840><c> a</c><00:37:30.079><c> fact.</c>

00:37:31.900 --> 00:37:34.420
All<00:37:32.119><c> right,</c><00:37:32.239><c> now</c><00:37:32.400><c> how</c><00:37:32.500><c> do</c><00:37:32.659><c> we</c><00:37:32.800><c> mean</c><00:37:32.960><c> by</c><00:37:33.300><c> a</c><00:37:33.519><c> principle?</c>

00:37:35.099 --> 00:37:37.380
We'll<00:37:35.460><c> give</c><00:37:35.619><c> you</c><00:37:36.039><c> a</c><00:37:36.260><c> definition</c><00:37:36.739><c> of</c><00:37:36.980><c> that.</c>

00:37:37.380 --> 00:37:40.360
You<00:37:38.039><c> can</c><00:37:38.239><c> look</c><00:37:38.360><c> it</c><00:37:38.500><c> up</c><00:37:38.639><c> in</c><00:37:38.760><c> your</c><00:37:38.980><c> own</c><00:37:39.199><c> dictionary</c><00:37:39.619><c> if</c><00:37:39.800><c> you</c><00:37:39.900><c> don't</c><00:37:40.139><c> like</c>

this<00:37:40.599><c> one.</c>

00:37:42.539 --> 00:37:50.480
It<00:37:42.579><c> is</c><00:37:43.000><c> a</c><00:37:43.179><c> law</c><00:37:43.820><c> of</c><00:37:45.059><c> thinking</c><00:37:45.400><c> or</c><00:37:45.900><c> action</c><00:37:46.780><c> in</c><00:37:49.239><c> general</c><00:37:49.860><c> accord</c>

00:37:54.739 --> 00:37:58.980
I'll<00:37:55.159><c> state</c><00:37:55.420><c> that</c><00:37:55.719><c> again</c><00:37:56.099><c> because</c><00:37:56.559><c> we've</c><00:37:56.960><c> got</c><00:37:57.199><c> to</c><00:37:57.880><c> define</c><00:37:58.460><c> at</c>

00:37:58.980 --> 00:38:00.260

00:38:00.260 --> 00:38:07.019
It<00:38:01.079><c> is</c><00:38:01.380><c> a</c><00:38:01.539><c> law</c><00:38:01.920><c> of</c><00:38:02.300><c> thinking</c><00:38:03.019><c> or</c><00:38:04.179><c> action</c><00:38:04.820><c> in</c><00:38:06.119><c> general</c><00:38:06.500><c> accord</c>

00:38:19.559 --> 00:38:27.000
Instead<00:38:20.460><c> of</c><00:38:20.659><c> law,</c><00:38:21.780><c> we</c><00:38:21.780><c> could</c><00:38:22.079><c> have</c><00:38:22.360><c> said</c><00:38:23.460><c> a</c><00:38:25.139><c> matter</c><00:38:25.639><c> or</c><00:38:26.699><c> a</c><00:38:26.840><c> mode</c>

00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:33.280
I<00:38:30.360><c> think</c><00:38:30.519><c> you</c><00:38:30.940><c> probably</c><00:38:31.360><c> get</c><00:38:31.639><c> the</c><00:38:31.800><c> general</c><00:38:32.179><c> idea.</c>

00:38:34.199 --> 00:38:42.260
In<00:38:34.400><c> other</c><00:38:34.659><c> words,</c><00:38:38.239><c> a</c><00:38:38.420><c> principle</c><00:38:38.980><c> is</c><00:38:40.179><c> something</c><00:38:40.639><c> which</c><00:38:41.739><c> helps</c>

00:38:45.699 --> 00:38:50.559
For<00:38:45.980><c> example,</c><00:38:47.119><c> there</c><00:38:48.059><c> is</c><00:38:48.340><c> a</c><00:38:48.599><c> broadly</c><00:38:49.039><c> recognized</c><00:38:49.880><c> principle</c>

00:39:06.099 --> 00:39:14.300
We<00:39:07.260><c> intuitively</c><00:39:08.420><c> come</c><00:39:08.840><c> to</c><00:39:09.119><c> recognize</c><00:39:09.800><c> that</c><00:39:10.039><c> there</c><00:39:10.519><c> are</c><00:39:11.480><c> certain</c><00:39:12.099><c> principles</c><00:39:12.900><c> that</c>

00:40:10.800 --> 00:40:17.619
This<00:40:11.679><c> used</c><00:40:11.920><c> to</c><00:40:12.039><c> be</c><00:40:12.239><c> back</c><00:40:12.500><c> in</c><00:40:12.820><c> the</c><00:40:12.940><c> 60s</c><00:40:13.380><c> when</c><00:40:13.800><c> jobs</c><00:40:14.260><c> were</c><00:40:15.320><c> available</c><00:40:15.800><c> on</c><00:40:16.159><c> trees,</c><00:40:17.340><c> so</c>

to<00:40:17.820><c> speak.</c>

00:40:19.019 --> 00:40:24.760

00:41:21.179 --> 00:41:24.559
Why<00:41:21.559><c> God</c><00:41:21.900><c> did</c><00:41:22.119><c> it</c><00:41:22.300><c> was</c><00:41:22.539><c> because</c><00:41:22.980><c> he</c><00:41:23.179><c> had</c><00:41:23.420><c> the</c><00:41:23.719><c> whole</c><00:41:24.039><c> picture</c>
