This allows it to be quantized, serving as the measuring tool for the other 4 Layers.</p> <!-- Formation through Action: These particles are formed by the constant motion and friction of the larger 2nd and 3rd elements. They are not indivisible atoms, but they represent the smallest functional units of matter that can fit into any space (Slowik, 2005). Mechanical Quantization: Because this element is "finely divided," it allows motion to be transmitted in discrete, mechanical pulses rather than a vague, mystical influence. Relaying Objective Information The 1st Element serves as the "universal messenger." In Cartesian physics, light is not an object but a pressure transmitted through these smallest particles (Burke, 1966). Direct Contact: Because there is no void, every motion in one part of the universe is felt by the 1st element and relayed instantly (or nearly so) to other parts. Pressure as Information: When a 3rd element object (gross matter) moves, it exerts pressure on the 1st and 2nd elements. This pressure is what we perceive as light or heat. Objectivity: This mechanical relay ensures that information about the other elements (their shape, motion, and position) is conveyed objectively (Love, 1975). Our senses do not receive "qualities" (like "redness"); they receive discrete mechanical pressures that our mind interprets as qualities. -->
