Being Not Being Existence
Attributes of Being as plenitude: Power.
Being, by asserting itself as Not-Being, determines itself as Existence.
Can it not be said that Absolute 0 or absolute ¥ is impossible, since by this it would be finite?
In the Series, ¥ is represented by the relative existence of these things and 0 by their imperfection, their relative non-existence.
Plurality is the only truly ideal thing.
The infinite may be considered successive as being that of plurality. Time and space are the only things which, besides being considered as extensions and durations varying in the series, can also be conceived as series of like extensions or durations.
Plurality is an illusion. But without plurality there can be none of the «mouvement immobile» of «Satan-Dieu». For plurality is succession.
Is not movement of alteration subordinate to movement of translation? Is it not so by science [?]
