[15] This word is used here in the most general and
inclusive sense as applying to all thinkers who accept
the reality of relations as part of a higher Unity.

[19] A succession of what is disconnected is not
change. Change is a succession within an identity:
if not within the identity, there is no change, only
analysis and re-grouping. The closer our knowledge is
of ourselves or anything else, the more we see that
_change is the expression in time of an identity_.

[25] See A. T. Cameron, “Radio-Chemistry,” p. 17: “The
curves illustrate two further points. They approach
constant value towards the end of a month, but it is
seen that they reach a final value only at infinite
time. This property is common to all such curves; it
illustrates the fact that the _life_ of a radio-active
element is infinite.” It is explained in the same book
(p. 31) that “infinity is only a relative term; in
this connection it only means a longer time than we
can measure.”
[26] His theology is not so good as his mathematics;
he seems to think that in the Creed we assert our
belief in the Incomprehensible, in the sense of
that which is “not capable of being seized by the
mind,” instead of in that which is “untrammelled by
limitations.” The word is _immensus_, best translated
infinite.
