 All creatures, humans, animals, plants and minerals, consist of composites of spirit and body (in Conway’s sense), each of which contains infinite numbers of other creatures, compounded, in their turn of infinite creatures. All creatures interact and inter-communicate by means of the emanation of spirits (even the most dense bodies, produce and emit other, finer, or more subtle spirits). Creatures are, furthermore subject to change. These changes can be radical—body can become spirit and vice versa, while creatures can metamorphose into other creatures, up or down the scale of nature. Creaturely change takes the form of reconfigurations or as it were re-balancing of the constituent corporeal and spiritual elements that make-up a particular creature. This reflects the relative goodness of the creature, such that the more good, and therefore more godlike a creature becomes, the more spiritual its make-up. This is manifest in terms of its increase or loss of capacity for action—the more spiritual a creature, the more volatile and more able to act (“active and operative”) and vice versa.
