The Cosmos is an infinite constitution of action and re-action, of interacting reciprocal events.
All events, physical and biological, are exchanges of and thereby transformations of and within the totality of the cosmic action.
All nature is the organization of events analyzable into discontinuities of mass (or force) and motion with a rhythm which constitutes the scale of time. The relative actuality (reality) of events is proportionate to their periods on the scale of time.
The relationships among events — their relativity — is ascertained by comparison of measurements
The constitution and characteristics of an event is determined by the relative magnitudes of its constituents.
These are measurable numerically in terms of uniform specific units — absolute or multiple — for mass, for motion, and for time.
The conventional units are gram, centimeter and second.
In a particular event, the mass magnitude is the number of mass units integrated with each unit of motion — hence mass units times motion units is only an imaginary quantity of action, void of time and thus of no actuality as an event. As mass is void without motion, so motion is inseparable from time.
