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
