Mediate reproduction or recollection plays an important role, moreover, in the formation of representational series or sequences (Vorstellungsreihen). Time and the quality of the representations determine the formation of such series (SW V: 410). Assume that perceptual representations a, b, c … appear sequentially in consciousness, and are not mutually opposed (SW V: 410). Representation a, which enters consciousness first, is quickly opposed by other representations, which inhibit and dim it, causing it to sink down to the degree (“Klarheitsgrad”, Weiss 1928: 86), r. Next, representation b joins it and fuses with a’s remainder, \(r'\). Together, they both continue to sink, with b now becoming R and \(r'\) becoming \(r''\). Representations c and d … join them. The following schema becomes apparent (SW V: 410):
