A paradox ensues when distinctness, ie multiplicity, is the same as a singularity. This paradox is real. The presence of a comparison between phenomena is the underlying relationship between one phenomenon and another due to the underlying nature of contrast both share.
This contrast is a tieing together of said phenomenon by both sharing a respective void of certain qualities, relative to the other, in each phenomenon. The sharing of voidness, ie absence of a quality found in one phenomenon but not another and vice-versa, ties together distinct phenomena into one thus a singularity in comparison to another singularity is still a singularity as both are connected by nothingness.
