Physical	Universe = cosmos	Self-relation is 1. The dynamics of space-time-matter or geometrodynamics, 2. The genesis of being - relationship: a unitary matter-force that determines geometry and so gravitation	Particle - interaction - motion	Myth	Cosmic structure and evolution: matter - space - time
Living	Unit = molecule, cell	Chemical, electric	Physical-chemical with indeterminism e.g. quantum fluctuation	Special responses and functions	Biology: theory and experiment
Living	Universe - organism, bioregion, earth	Communication, mind	Large scale cycles of energy, mineral and organic matter	Body and nature sense	Function and evolution
Society	Unit = individual, institution	Communication, language	Communication, awareness and response to emotion, social rules and hierarchy	Intuition	Philosophy and sociology of individuals and institutions
