d and insisted upon. We pass now to the consideration of the Verb and Participle, related to Movement. The Great Noun Class of Words, including the Nominative Noun Substantive, not yet brought into action and made to functionate as Subject or Agent, together with the whole Adjective Family of Words as above defined, is _without Action_. These words, and correspondentially, the Things and their Attributes which they represent in the Universe at large, are _static_ or _immovable_. The Universe, viewed in the light of them solely, is a Universe _at rest_, or, as it were, _arrested_ in its progression through Time, and existing only in Space; _for_ TIME _has relation to_ MOTION, _as_ SPACE _has relation to_ POSITION _or_ REST. This aspect of the Universe or of Language may therefore be appropriately denominated _Statoid_ (or Spaceoid). The relations between the Parts of this Aspect, denoted by the Prepositions and Conjunctions, are inert or _static_ relations, concerning predominantly Position in Space, as _above_, _below_, etc. When the Substantive proper (the Nominative Case) passes over and becomes functionally a SUBJECT (we will consider, first, the case where the Verb is Active Transitive, and the Subject therefore an Agent), we pass from _Statism_ to _Motism_; or from Rest to Movement. This is, at the same time, to pass from the Domain or Kingdom of _Space_ to the Kingdom or Domain of _Time_ (or Tense). Noun-dom (in its largest extension, including Nouns Substantive and Nouns Adjective, together with their Words of Relation, Prepositions and Conjunctions) constitutes, therefore, the STATISMUS (or Domain of the Principle of Rest) within the RELATIONISMUS (or Domain of Parts and their Construction, or _Syntaxis_ into a whole) of the larger Domain of Language, which might then be properly denominated the Linguismus of the Universe. (Every new Science has to have its new nomenclature. Let the reader not be repelled, therefore, by these innovations upon the speech usages of our Language; their great convenience, and their actual necessity even for the right discussion of the subject, furnishing their sufficient apology.) To determine what the limits of the corresponding Domain are in the Universe at large, and its proper technical designation, it is only necessary to go back upon the analogues already indicated. We have, then, the Statismus of the Relationismus of the Universe; which is the Structural Universe, v
