Note 34

In most cases of real Totalities (atoms, molecules, crystals, organisms) we do not know the dynamical law. And so instead of it we will use the propria or properties, that is, the  per se  determinations, that are directly caused by the dynamical law (Essence), that is, by which the Essence is manifested and thus, indirectly, observable. And indeed, these propria are often known.
