[1]   Names Reich gave to substances he observed developing on the rocks of the walls of the Observatory or he produced himself after the Oranur experiment. He theorized that their production is governed by functions that take place at a level prior to the material (atomic) basis of chemical reactions. The science investigating their nature he named “preatomic chemistry”.
