Hartshorne says, "Psychicalism is true if the parts of nature are exhaustively either sentient singulars or composites of such" ("The Individual Is a Society": 77).

But, surely, psychicalism can be true metaphysically if, and only if, this rule applies not only to "the parts of nature," but also to the all-inclusive whole thereot which being a "singular," i.e." an "individual," and, more exactly, the individual, the one and only universal individual, also has to be "sentient."
