Now suppose the entire series were suppressed to the limen.  If one representation-member of the series were allowed to rise back into consciousness, it would have a “reproductive effect” upon all its fellows (namely in accordance with the laws of reproduction laid out in §88; SW V: 372, ff., esp. 375, f.). If the first representation, a, rises as an “immediate reproduction”, it then most quickly pulls b up after it, since b is most completely fused with r; but somewhat more slowly c, and with ever decreasing speed, d, etc. (Stout calls this the “evolution” of a series; Stout 1888a: 335). But if c, that is, a representation somewhere in the middle of the sequence were the first to resurface, then, because it is fused with \(r'\) and R—the remnants of a and b—these latter will be dragged past the limen simultaneously (Stout calls this the “involution” of a series; Stout 1888a: 335); on the other hand, d, e, … will follow in succession (SW V: 410–11).[48]
