Multitude cannot exist without oneness, and oneness
cannot exist without being determined by multitude.
Oneness, however, means identity, and identity, in
its final consequence, through all "stages," is a zero point. On the other hand, this
infinitesimal center needs to be circumscribed by details. So, despite the details' identity in oneness, they as
individuals have to find their way into circumscription. And as individuals,
they contain infinitesimal centers by themselves, etc. Therefore, the
circumscription of such a center is a changing
between single points.
This means that an existing structure includes both
extremes: absolute identity and absolute separation. Their unity must also be constituted by change – now between the
common point of identity and separateness. Both are nothing at all without this
change, by which they are determined only. The unity built that way of oneness
and multitude in turn has its infinitesimal center of identity...
The same is
valid for every area on every scale. A continuum of this kind is the
precondition of permanent objects. Through the omnipresent change between the
extremes of identity and separation, any point is immediately joined with each other, as well as continuously mediated and also apart from the others.
