Having 12 years of parochial ( 8 of which were of Jesuit discipline ) schooling I recall a 3d grade 8mm movie that we kiddos were shown. It was explained that what we were about to see was 'very very special - and it was. I can't remember how long or what the beginning sequence of it was, but in the

end the animated picture of our earth and moon and stars panned out to a macro view of the universe that turned into a picture of God. I never forgot it. Being a numerologist and using the Pythagorian method to decipher letters into mathmatical form and interpretation seems like a way

to come up with the whole. Phythics is built into organisms so it seems Aristotle was onto a Jesuit

tragectory when it came to understanding of first things first.

Did Jaki - or will you - consider whether A.N. Whiiehead undercuts Premise A? As the author of Process and Reality, subtitled "A Philosophy of Organism" and co-author with Russel of Principia Mathematica I'm guessing he might take issue.
