It is informed by an inner law of harmony and proportion, and cannot be run up at haphazard, with no definite and pre-determined design.

"Nature is a priori" (everything individual in it is pre-determined by the whole, by the Idea of a nature in general); hence the forms of nature can be deduced from the concept of nature.
