3. . Lowe points out that Whitehead envisaged no “integrated sequence of investigations” and “never paid any special attention to being consistent with his former self” (Understanding Whitehead, p. 121).

5. . The phrase “fallacy of misplaced concreteness” first appears in Alfred North Whitehead's Science and the Modern World (New York: Free Press, 1967), p. 51 (first published by Macmillan Co., 1926), and represents Whiteheads attack on the tendency of science to substitute its theoretical abstractions for the concrete realities of the world.

8. . Alfred North Whitehead, “On Mathematical Concepts of the Material World,” in Alfred North Whitehead: An Anthology, selected by F. S. C. Northrop and Mason W. Gross (New York: Macmillan Co., 1961). Whiteheads essay appears the same year as Albert Einstein's “On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies” (in H. A. Lorentz et al., The Princzflle of Relativitiy, trans. W. B. Perrett and G. B. Jeffrey [New York: Dover Publications, 1923], pp. 37–38), in which Einstein develops his special theory of relativity, and bears close resemblance to his own alternative theory of relativity worked out in his The Principle uj'Relativity (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1922).

20. . “On Mathematical Concepts of the Material World,”, p. 35. Whitehead differentiates between Concepts IV and V: “In Concept IV the interpoints are the points, and there are no other points. In Concept V the interpoints are, in general, only portions of points, and a point may contain no interpoint or many interpoints.”

Whitehead comments that if some hypothesis concerning the motion of objective reals and correlating it with the motion of electron points could be found, then a theory for the laws of electromagnetism and gravity would easily follow. In Principle of Relativity (n. 8 above) he carries out such a task.
