Section 1 : On Electropons [E-tropons]

　　1. What are the ultimate constituents of matter in the cosmos? They are e-tropons. (Somewhat like the particles discovered and referred to by nuclear chemistry, this refers to the smallest units within matter, which cannot be broken down by ordinary chemical reactions.) But e-tropons can only aggregate into matter of various configurations of fineness; no life force exists among them. Thus, if there are only e-tropons but no harmonons (explained below) in whatever material object, it cannot be a living thing.

　　一、宇宙間構成物質之最終成分為何？曰電子也（與原子化學上所發現而依據者略同，即是代表物質中最微小的一般化學變化不能分割單位）。然電子僅能組成精粗大小之物質，而無生機存乎其中，是故在任何物質中，如僅有電子而無和子（其說見後）即不能成為生物。

　　2. E-tropons are the source of electricity, but since yin and yang e-tropons do not attain the proper je-chun [critical energy], they cannot assume a certain level required for change to electricity. Thus, in distinction to the electrical law that “likes repel; opposites attract”, the law among e-tropons is “likes attract, opposites repel”. The function of this law is to maintain aggregation of any given piece of matter. Countless yin e-tropons join to make yin e-tropicity and countless yang e-tropons join to make yang e-tropicity. Two kinds of e-tropicity are then mutually attracted, and from this comes matter. (E-tropons combine to form atoms, atoms form molecules, molecules form materials. This is the effect of what is called “loving force”.)

　　二、電子雖為電的來源，然因其陰陽電子尚未達到適度熱準，不能成為一個定位
｜←陰電子
　○ 電
｜←陽電子
故與電學定律「同排異引」相反，而為「同引異排」，是以其作用在於維繫一種物體之和合，由無數之陰電子結成為陰電，再由無數之陽電子結成為陽電，兩種電力相引，方成物質（由電子結成原子，原子成分子，分子成物體，即所謂「愛力」之作用）。

　　3. All matter contains e-tropons. Distinctions of fineness and configuration depend on the relative numbers of yin and yang e-tropons carried. This is because yin e-tropons are coarse, heavy and high in density, while yang e-tropons are fine, light and low in density. Supposing the body of a human being (the highest living creature) contains 10 billion yang e-tropons, then in the bodies of other animals, plants and minerals, the quantity of yang e-tropons carried decreases progressively with decreasing fineness. Things such as stones contain the smallest quantity of yang e-tropons, and thus become objects of the lowest grade. On the other hand, if an object can carry larger numbers of yang e-tropons than a human being, then its level will be higher than mankind in the cosmos.

　　三、任何物體中均有電子，視其所荷陰陽電子數量之多寡而定其精粗大小之區別，蓋陰電子質粗重故密度大，陽電子質精微故密度小，如假定人類（最高等生物）質體中之陽電子數為百億，則其他動植礦物質體中，所荷陽電子量，均應視其精粗大小之別，而依次遞減，以至砂石之類，則僅含約最少量之陽電子，故成為最低劣之物體。反是，若有能荷陽電子量更多於人類之物體，則必為宇宙中更高上之物體。

　　4. The amount of e-tropicity an object contains only has its static structure and passive dynamic forces (i.e. electromagnetic forces). After a human being dies the corpse decays, and its e-tropons are drawn (dissipated) by e-tropicity elsewhere, obeying the law of like-attracts-like. If all e-tropons within terrestrial landforms one day dissipate, oceans will disappear and stones lose solidity as the very landscape crumbles.

　　四、物體所含電量之多寡，僅有靜態之結構及被動的動力作用（即電磁作用），人死屍骸腐朽，電子即依其同引律之關係而被他方之電力引去（即分散）。一切山河大地中之電子若一旦分散，即呈海枯石爛之崩潰現象。

　　5. Therefore e-tropons show but one side of all natural phenomena in the universe: the yin, static, passive, natural, mechanical, and lifeless side. If the universe had only e-tropons with no harmonons, it would manifest the most rudimentary phenomena of nature (only light, gases, and water). Animals, plants and minerals could not come into existence.

　　五、故電子僅能表示宇宙中一切自然現象中之一面，即係陰性的、靜態的、被動的、自然的、機械的、無生機的，宇宙間若僅有電子而無和子，即呈最單純的自然現象（僅有光、氣及水），即動植礦物均無法產生。
