  Core distinction between the two methods stated concisely
• Observation of a person's inner state of wholeness can give reliable and objective information about the objective living character of systems in the external worldclaim0.809
  Central claim of the chapter: what appears subjective (inner feeling) is actually an objective measuring instrument for external reality
• A person's own feeling of wholeness is the very best criterion for the wholeness of a thing he is trying to make.claim0.805
