Figure 2/14/1 : Arrow-heads show the direction of movement of the representative point; cross-lines show the positions of the representative point at weekly intervals. it presents all a system's behaviours (under constant conditions) frozen into one unchanging entity that can be thought of as a unit. Such entities can readily be compared and contrasted, and so we can readily compare behaviour with behaviour, on a basis that is as complete and rigorous as we care to make it. The reader may at first find the method unusual. Those who are familiar with the phase-space of mechanics will have no difficulty, but other readers may find it helpful if at first, whenever the word ' field ' occurs, they substitute for it some phrase like 4 typical way of behaving '. 24.
