This recording, apparently from a 1987 logic lecture, explores the application of the concept of gathering to a primordial event and the role of the logos in its origin, progression, and end. It discusses Anaximander's concept of the world's origin from the separation of opposites. It then transitions to Teilhard's theory of orthogenesis and argues that Australian fauna rather supports contingency than the necessity of evolution. The role of inertia in development is highlighted—both as a limitation and as an enabler for overcoming fixed states. The logos is assigned a role in asserting itself through contingencies within the world. The conclusion addresses the dichotomy of the internal and external in relation to the future and past, and how subjects distance themselves from their center by delving into the external or internal. The integrity of an event has an internal origin, but the integration itself is the work of the logos, not the internal aspect of the event.
