Function does not determine form.
Paradigm does not determine syntagm.
Choices at higher strata do not precede choices at lower strata.
Function does not precede form.
Paradigm does not precede syntagm.
Strata are different levels of symbolic abstraction.
Function and form are different levels of symbolic abstraction.
Paradigm and syntagm are different levels of symbolic abstraction.
The relation between these different levels of symbolic abstraction is 'intensive identifying', not 'circumstantial identifying' (ie neither 'causal' nor 'temporal').
