Paragraph level

From The Elements of Style,

A subject requires division into topics, each of which should be dealt with in a paragraph. The object of treating each topic in a paragraph by itself is to aid the reader. The beginning of each paragraph is a signal that a new step in the development of the subject has been reached.

Any paragraph is commonly structured by one of the logic flows,

1. Time
Drawing conclusion from post-hoc reasoning has been a long and dangerous tradition in morphogenetic research. Before the advent of computers, .... as computers have become more available ....

2. Space
There are two broad theories about XYZ
In one view..... In the other view.



illustrated with a simple example

7. Analogy
by extension
8. Definition

The word mechanism connotes a sequence of events that take place at a molecular level and that
can be explained by interactions of molecules that follows the ordinary laws of physics and chemistry.
