Contingent/necessary/understanding/Genz: contingent: the special elliptical shape of the earth's orbit is contingent and necessary.
Necessary: it is necessary that planetary orbits are elliptical.
Understanding: the understanding of this necessity is deeper understanding.
>Understanding, >Cognition.
II 60
Natural Laws/Genz: natural laws are necessary characteristics of systems, but this is tautological.
>Systems, >Natural laws.
Are the laws of nature themselves necessary or contingent?
Solution/Genz: there is a hierarchy of natural laws.
World Formula/contingent/Genz: if there were a world formula, it would not be necessary itself, because other worlds are possible. Nevertheless, it could be distinguished by properties that other formulas do not possess.
Cf. >Theory of Everything, >Contingency.},
