means sum-totally but nonunitarily conceptual as of any one
moment. Consciousness means an awareness of otherness. Apprehension
means information furnished by those wave frequencies tunable within man’s
limited sensorial spectrum. Communicated means informing self or others.
Nonsimultaneousmeans not occurring at the same time. Overlapping is
used because every event has duration, and their initiatings and terminatings
are most often of different duration. A man is born, grows up, has children and
grandchildren. His life overlaps that of his grandfather and farther and that
of his children and grandchildren. But his grandfather’s life did not overlap
his children’s nor his grandchildren’s lives. Hence, partially overlapping.
comprehensively—to include both the metaphysical and the physical. The
scientist was able to define physical Universe by virtue of the experimentally
verified discovery that energy can neither be created nor lost; therefore that
energy is conserved; therefore it is finite. Thus, man has been able to define
successfully physical Universe—but not, as yet, the metaphysical Universe
