ABSTRACT
Chapter 5 moves from the demonstration of the plurality of procedures to the elucidation of a more refined concept of procedure, demonstrating its difference from both world and object. Procedures cannot be reduced either to worlds or to their objects, since any world and object may be treated by any procedure or a combination thereof. While the worldly order establishes the identity of the object and the degree of its appearance in the world, procedures determine the manner of appearance of objects and entire worlds. The notion of procedures thus helps make pluralism conceivable on the intra-worldly level.
