As the Totality of Existence consists of everything there is, being is a primal concept in Integral Relational Logic, essentially synonymous with data in this context. For being takes conceptual and mathematical abstraction to the utmost level of generality, in keeping with this ontological statement in Aristotle’s Metaphysics:

There is a science which studies Being qua Being, and the properties inherent in it in virtue of its own nature. This science is not the same as any of the so-called particular sciences, for none of the others contemplates Being generally qua Being; they divide off some portion of it and study the attribute of this portion, as do for example the mathematical sciences.

Beings are thus the fundamental building blocks of the Universe, not subatomic particles, consisting of elements or forms and the relationships between them. Beings are anything that exists, that is.

The concept of being is of the utmost generality, denoting any object, event, process, system, organism, state, feeling, form, structure, relationship, field, concept, ideal, belief, opinion, class, character, symbol, religion, discipline, ism, ology, osophy, ocracy, archy, onomy, theory, language, culture, civilization, or any other entity that any knowing being can perceive, conceive, or imagine.

The word being denotes any entity, rather like the way x denotes a number in algebra. The concept that the word represents is thus the key to creating a self-inclusive coherent cognitive map or conceptual model of the Totality of Existence, healing the fragmented mind and split psyche in Wholeness.
