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.}, note = { Gz I H.
