There are, accordingly, no original and independent, in other words no unconditional, uniformities of coexistence between effects of different causes; if they coexist, it is only because the causes have casually coexisted.

Principle of Coexistence, According to the Law of Reciprocity or Community. All substances, in so far as they can be perceived in space at the same time, exist in a state of complete reciprocity of action.

It is of course impossible for us, at the stage which we have reached, to understand this confusion or this coexistence of the past, the present and the future; but that is no reason for denying it; on the contrary, what man understands least is probably that which most nearly approaches the truth.

On all sides, it was confessed, that the mode of their coexistence could neither be represented by our ideas, nor expressed by our language. Yet a secret and incurable discord was cherished, between those who were most apprehensive of confounding, and those who were most fearful of separating, the divinity, and the humanity, of Christ.

And, referring to this same order of objects, M. Arago says: "The forms of very large diffuse nebulæ do not appear to admit of definition; they have no regular outline." This coexistence of largeness, irregularity, and indefiniteness of outline, with irresolvability, is extremely significant.

Indeed, in spite of their duration or coexistence in time, they are so dependent on one another that this very dependence may be compared with sequence, in time. This indication of the first conditions of evolution on Saturn also throws light on any further questions that may be asked as to the origin of those conditions.

The ball lying on a soft cushion is simultaneous, it is true, with its effect, the depression in the cushion. "But I, nevertheless, distinguish the two by the time relation of dynamical connection. Coexistence and succession can be represented only in a permanent substratum; they are merely the modes in which the permanent exists.

What I'm postulating is the perpetual coexistence of every moment of time in this dimension, just as every graduation on a yardstick exists equally with every other graduation, but each at a different point in space." "Well, as far as duration and sequence go, that's all right," the father agreed. "But how about the 'Passage of Time'?" "Well, time does appear to pass.

Uniformities there are, as well of coexistence as of succession, among effects; but these must in all cases be a mere result either of the identity or of the coexistence of their causes: if the causes did not coexist, neither could the effects.

Through children observing it in his society in various forms it was passed down through the generations by imitation. And as humans had and in interactions proliferated these tactics of coexistence to the young that were successful enough to keep the species, so far, from self-destruction, what did he in his short life know that was a better substitute?
