3. Forming Cameras


SECTION THREE PART THREE
Forming Cameras

To form cameras for seeking out and finding particulars, the senses, imagination, memory, will and intellect must participate in the same way as described in the two previous parts of this section, while at the outset the intellect determines a simple camera of T., or A. or of the other figures that is  most suitable for investigating and finding the required particular and the will chooses this camera. Next, this camera is combined with another camera best suited for investigating the properties of the required particular, and likewise a third camera is added that best fits the requirements of the particular investigation at hand. 

These three simple cameras lined up in any of the figures made of concentric circles result in one compound camera, where each circle has a simple camera. 

Note, moreover, that as each compound camera is formed on one side of the Common figure, likewise another compound camera is formed on the other side of the same figure in order to discourse with T. through A., or S., or A.S., or S.V. or other figures in greater or lesser number as required for investigating the particular issue at hand. Then the senses and imagination discourse through both figures on either side, while memory remembers the propositions of the cameras so that the intellect can discover and the will can choose a concluding judgment.

And note that in order to form the two said cameras composed in six circles the senses and the imagination must discourse through all the other cameras to corroborate the initial two cameras, while memory remembers their propositions  and the will desires the concordance of all cameras so the intellect can rise to the universal and from there, descend again to the particular, without any contrariety between the universal and particular.

And the things said about forming cameras in six circles also apply to forming cameras on the other side in the two circles containing the elements and in the three circles of T., all in accordance with the general and special properties of the particular that is to be sought out by means of the elements or of T.
