The residual demand of the type is the permanent claim that the higher form still makes upon the man who remains capable of answering it. The residual man continues to meet that demand even though the age has dissolved every collective structure that once supported it. The demand itself remains intact. Only the collective structures that once made it public have disappeared.
Young men who still feel the pressure of a higher type often look for residual groups or residual hierarchies that will keep the demand alive for them. Most of those groups have already been reshaped by the horizontal forces that dominate the age. The residual path does not wait for external support. It continues as the permanent answer from the interior center that still recognizes the claim.
This solitary answer is the residual form of the older traditional response to the type. The man who continues to meet the demand already performs the residual act. That act does not require collective recognition to remain real.
Meet the demand. Do not wait for the age to restore conditions in which the higher type is publicly supported. The residual act is to keep the permanent claim decisive in every concrete decision. That decisiveness is the continuity of the higher type under residual conditions.
