1. a
theory generated by myself in the
fall of 1950 as an
effort to explain (just a
theory) the
phenomena of an
analyzer working in one direction and a
reactive mind working in quite another, the
reactive mind being interesting, and the
analyzer being interested.

life is a no-substance thing, up against a
physical universe which is a substance thing. Here is
nothingness up against a somethingness interacting where the
nothingness or the no-substance thing is actually giving orders to and
handling the all substance thing, the
physical universe.
(UPC 3 5406CM——)3. the idea that there was a
universe and that there was
thought—
theta without
wave-length, without
mass, without
time, without
position in
space: this was
life. And that was
impinged upon something else called the
physical universe, which was a
mechanical entity which did things in a peculiar way, and these two things together,
theta-
mest interacting, gave us
life forms.
