The One and the Many

Post by Eodnhoj7 »

There is no phenomenon which exists independent of itself.

Simultaneously the totality of being, as in all phenomenon, exists through itself as moving through itself.

The fact that there is no phenomena which exists independent of anything else appears contradictory under the statement of the totality of being existing through itself as moving through itself, yet this statement in reality is not contradictory. Being exists as both one and many much in the same manner a series of monads exists.

The monads exist under many different relations, forming a variety of phenomenon, yet these monads at their root form (ie points) are fundamentally the same thing. The same monad is reflected under a series of different forms with these forms being an approximation of the one form through many. This approximation is where the one is observed in parts, and not in its totality, where these parts each reflect a different facet of the one. Each facet is a gradation of the whole as both a fraction and fractal of the whole where in each fraction and fractal the whole is expressed much in the same manner a microcosm reflects a macrocosm, the smaller reflected the greater form of the larger.

Under these terms the totality of being does not exist as an independent entity given its existence through grades necessitates it as dependent upon fractals/fractions of itself. Being is dependent upon other versions of itself in order to exist, with these other versions being variations. In these respects being is not independent. In a dual sense it is independent, in a seperate respect, given each of these variations contain at its roots the same form under the monad as a series of interrelated points that are grounded in the same point space which sets the prerequisite to form.

Yes it does. Which is why it seems unlikely to be a fact.

I wonder what leads you to suppose it is one.
