The Modified outline Temporary preface with notationThere is further information in the way of being - essential.docm (html) and documents in the content folder. Chapters and sections marked with a double star** are new (only main headings are so marked). Headings in the outline are demoted one level for convenience here; when exported to the open document, they will be re-promoted.

Description of peak beingIdentity, spacetime-being, and propertyStarting with the primitive experience of sameness and difference, the concept and nature of identity, spacetimebeing, and property may be derived; and that there is no kind of extension beyond spacetime.
