How to construct a geometrical Genealogical or Filiation
Table
Of this sort of Table the oneessential / property is - that
the more advanced and thence the greater the number by which it is expressed the proposition is, the greater the number
of the propositions on which the demonstration of it depends
Thus in the cases of<add>plan composed</add> proposition the first, no proposition on which
it has any dependence can have existence be found. Definitions
and axioms are the only materials of which the foundation
of it can be composed. In the case of Proposition 2 may there exists
one proposition but no more than one, in which it besides definitions and axioms
it is possible for it to have dependence: in the case of proposition
3 may, upon the list of defini propositions, have
two such supports, either or both and so on
throughout
The higher the the plan of proposition in question standsis in the or 3

on which it depends
