Things emerge as consequences of one another: This refers to the concept of the chain of development (השתלשלות, hishtalshelut) mentioned in Kabbalistic writings. Likewise, the various powers of the soul of the individual are also organized as a system in which one is bound up with another. Thus memory is a product of thought and the ability to recognize similarities. All the different powers of the soul are likewise interdependent.

When we come to the details of how God governs the world with kindness, judgment and compassion, we will gain a clearer understanding of how things are bound together in a developmental chain. An example of this interconnectivity may be found in the various traits of the human psyche, such as mercy, anger, love, hatred, desire and the like. Just as all these traits of the psyche are interconnected, emerging one from another, so too we speak of similar interconnections between the Partzufim.
