One of the central beliefs of Theosophy is that humanity is undergoing a cycle of evolution, towards increasing "perfection", and Gardner recognised the potential significance of the photographs for the movement: Gardner sent the prints along with the original glass-plate negatives to Harold Snelling, a photography expert.
Accordingly, Ward's main problem is to understand how God can be related to the world of monads and guide them towards the realization of societies of ever increasing perfections.
Thus, although she conceives of created substance as a continuum, and understands mutability as capacity for increased perfection, she sought to avoid the charge of pantheism.
His tree depicted a series of species, of increasing organisational perfection, succeeding each other as time progresses; this succession continues on all branches, although at any point in time some new species are necessarily more-perfect than others on lower branches [[ 96], pp.110-116].
It is suggested that the increased crystallinity and perfection of crystals upon annealing are beneficial to the reinforcement.
In the following three phases, however, it increased significantly along with the perfection of the cellular structure and the increase of metabolic activities in germinating seeds.
The first evolutionist was a French scholar of the late 18th century, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, who saw animal life as an uninterrupted continuity in which old species were transformed into new species in a sequence of increasing complexity and perfection.
This observation supports the possibility that biological processes increase the degree of perfection of genomic IRs.
Further increase of the fraction and perfection of the ordered phase achieved by annealing at high temperature leads to a decrease of the RAF.
Mechanisms that increase the length or degree of perfection of IRs would lead to corresponding enrichments of these sequence types.
