The centimeter is equivalent to the hundredth part of the metre and this to the ten
               millionth part of a quarter of an earth meridian.

                      The phenomenic entity has been entirely presented, full on its manifestation. However,
               it is not possible to apprehend it on its totality; by observing one part of it makes eminent,
               protruding and standing out over the other aspects. The unity of the phenomenon has been
               broken in favor of the plurality of qualities that can be attributed to it. Are distinguished two
               squared  faces,  and  on  each  faces,  four  edges  and  four  angles,  etc.  then  it  is  practiced  the
               measure of each edge or side and it is established a «aw of the nature»: «the longitude of the
               side is proportional to the longitude of the earth meridian and its ratio is of 5cm».

                      In  this  operation  that  I  have  just  described  have  intervened  the  «mathematical
               principles» (when two faces are distinguished, four edges, etc.) and the «preeminent cultural
               premises» (when the face, the side, or any other quality turned «eminent») the both sources
               concur in the rational act of «relate» (measure) aspects of the phenomenon and to postulate a
               «law of the nature» (measures 5 cm.) which can be universally proven.


                      I  hope  to  have  clarified  that  the  mathematical  principles  (the  one,  the  two,  the
               square, etc.), for being intrinsic properties of the mental structure, intervene a priori in the
               formulation of a law of the nature. Referring to the «numbers» of the world, those that appear
               engraved  in  the  graduated  ruler  are  just  cultural  signs  of  representation  that  are
               distinguished due to the conventional learning. There were ancient people that represented the
               numbers with knots or ideograms; it is presumable that a measure instrument composed by a
               rod in which has been engraved hieroglyphs, doesn't means, in the beginning, nothing to us if
               we cannot «read» the signs, it means, realize the numerical representations.

                      The epistemological analysis about the manner how men establish a law of the nature
               will  take  us  to  the  fatal  conclusion  that  it  would  be  impossible  that  the  enclosure  principle
               could be localized in the world as a property of the entities and be formulated in a sociocultural
               language. On the contrary, what can occurs, in any case, is that the principle of enclosure be
               projected,  conscious  or  unconscious,  on  a  phenomenon  and  then  be  discovered  on  it  as  an
               eminent  relation  between  qualities;  naturally,  will  depend  of  the  kind  of  phenomenon
               represented the  complexity through which the  enclosure principle  be  empirically recognized
               and introjected in the psychic structure.

                      In sum, the «enclosure principle», discovered on the consciousness through the message
               of the Loyal Gods, is also a mathematical principle and as such will intervene «a priori» in
               every phenomenic perception. The natural numbers (that are in the mind)  allow to  «count»
               (one, two) the halves of that apple (that is in the world). The enclosure principle (that is in the
               mind) allows the application of the «law of the enclosure» on that phenomenon (that is in the
