Unitary principle

1. This is formulated as: asymmetry tends to disappear, and this tendency is realized in isolable processes. The unitary principle represents the isolable phase of a given process, in which the distortion due to some wider system of which the process was previously a part, is progressively eliminated as the system in question separates itself out and perfects its characteristic symmetry. Isolable systems are those which are in course of isolating themselves, and are only observable while this process is incomplete.

2. The unitary principle defines a universal method of selection of causally simple processes within the complexity of nature. It combines in the simplest possible formula the minimum spatial and temporal relations that are required by any general theory of process.
