Overview: A HISTORY OF GENERAL MORPHOLOGY A convention is an agreement for usage or reference. Monisms are conventions based upon some single principle. Dualisms are conventions based upon some double principle. Pluralisms are conventions based upon some multiple principle. A long-term historical survey of previous formal conventions in thought and knowledge has revealed vast numbers of pluralisms from which a gradient of decreasing complexity leads to many persistent dualisms, thence to a fundamental dualism and finally to a fundamental monism. PERSISTENT DUALISMS 1 Dualisms abound in all bra
