pg29 Topic 5 - Drop offs - Why Higher level Laws not derivable from lower level laws. (part 2 of 4)

Two layers of reality: Conceptual Form (Software) and Concrete-objects (Hardware)

In fact, every object in the world consists of two levels of reality, form and concrete-objects  (See Plato: theory of forms, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_Forms). While the higher level form remains unchanged (which may be called the software), concrete-objects may be swapped constantly (which may be called the hardware).  Let’s take molecules as an example.  At the higher level, molecule is a form (or a concept, or software), while at the lower level are the atoms which are the concrete-objects (or real material, or hardware).  While the higher level molecule (form or concept, or software) remains unchanged, the atoms (concrete-objects, or real material, or hardware) may be swapped constantly.
