[The Concept of Nature by Alfred North Whitehead]@TWC D-Link bookThe Concept of Nature CHAPTER V 30/44
Each of these events occupies its own aggregate of event-particles.
These aggregates will have a common portion, namely the class of event-particle lying in all of them.
This class of event-particles is what I call the 'station' of the event-particle P in the duration d.
This is the station in the character of a locus.
A station can also be defined in the character of an abstractive element. Let the property {sigma} be the name of the property which an abstractive set possesses when (i) each of its events is cogredient with the duration d and (ii) the event-particle P lies in each of its events. Then the group of {sigma}-primes, where {sigma} has this meaning, is an abstractive element and is the station of P in d as an abstractive element.
