In specifying the place and the time you are really stating the relation of the assigned event to the general structure of other observed events.

For example, the man was run over between your tea and your dinner and adjacently to a passing barge in the river and the traffic in the Strand.

The point which I want to make is this: Nature is known to us in our experience as a complex of passing events.

In this complex we discern definite mutual relations between component events, which we may call their relative positions, and these positions we express partly in terms of space and partly in terms of time.

Also in addition to its mere relative position to other events, each particular event has its own peculiar character.
In other words, nature is a structure of events and each event has its position in this structure and its own peculiar character or quality.
Let us now examine the other two statements in the light of this general principle as to the meaning of nature.
