Urizen and Ahania, and they organize the six other component energies of Albion (the energies of being and generation, time and space, and motion and attraction) into the order of a Pythagorean universe.

To trace the systematic cosmology in the sequence described above, one must assume that the Zoas and Emanations represent dynamic, component aspects of the single, fallen consciousness of Albion. Each Zoa provides an energy of impulse while each Emanation provides a formative energy which gives 'shape' to her respective Zoa.

Tharmas represents the primal life/death impulse, and Enion the formative energy which divides the primal impulse into life and death in a fallen cycle of generation. Los represents the creative or imaginative energy of Albion, and Enitharmon the formative, 'shaping' principle of Los' creative energy; namely, the energy of visionary intuition. Luvah represents Albion's psychosexual energy and thereby provides the energy or potency for motion, while Vala represents the complementary, attractive principle of mundane love for this energy of motion. Finally, Urizen represents Albion's rational, or analytic energy, and Ahania the formative principle of visionary truth which 'shapes' the rational energy of Urizen.

The eight component energies of Albion, organized in the manner described above, provide a set of psychological states which, as structural parameters for the events of the work, permit the tracing of a clear and interconnected plot.

Once the systematic cosmology of the first universe of Pythagorean form and harmony is traced, it will be shown that the Zoas and Emanations compound their fallen state by warring against one another. Their warring state culminates in a second fall; the universe of Pythagorean
