These considerations throw light on an old problem in the theory of mechanisms. Can a ' machine ' be at once determinate and capable of spon- taneous change ? The question would be contradictory if posed by one person, but it exists in fact because, when talking of living organisms, one school maintains that they are strictly determinate while another school maintains that they are capable of spon- taneous change. Can the schools be reconciled ? 88.
