"This form of salt gives a new unity and structure to the compound. It is now no longer modeled by the atoms of sodium and chlorine but by the molecule of sodium chloride. A new substantial unity has been achieved, a new nature has been produced, with radically different properties. Yet something of the previous substances remains in the protomatter, present as before, still providing the ontological ground for the mass-energy that is conserved in the process."
