e no difference to them; for points too are indivisible, but yet a pair of them is nothing apart from the two.
But this consequence also we must not forget, that it follows that there are prior and posterior 2 and similarly with the other numbers. For let the 2’s in the 4 be simultaneous; yet these are prior to those in the 8 and as the 2 generated them, they generated the 4’s in the 8-itself. Therefore if the first 2 is an Idea, these 2’s also will be Ideas of some kind. And the same account applies to the units; for the units in the first 2 generate the four in 4, so that all the units come to be Ideas and an Idea will be composed of Ideas. Clearly therefore those things also of which these happen to be the Ideas will be composite, e.g. one might say that animals are composed of animals, if there are Ideas of them.
In general, to differentiate the units in any way is an absurdity and a fiction; and by a fiction I mean a forced statement made to suit a hypothesis. For neither in quantity nor in quality do we see unit differing from unit, and number must be either equal or unequal-all number but especially that which consists of abstract units-so that if one number is neither greater nor less than another,Naiset Nobis MERIDETH Parka Suomi, it is equal to it; but things that are equal and in no wise differentiated we take to be the same when we are speaking of numbers. If not,England Drakt Barn, not even the 2 in the 10-itself will be undifferentiated, though they are equal; for what reason will the man who alleges that they are not differentiated be able to give?
Again,New York Knicks Drakter, if every unit + another unit makes two, a unit from the 2-itself and one from the 3-itself will make a 2. Now (a) this will consist of differentiated units; and will it be prior to the 3 or posterior? It rather seems that it must be prior; for one of the units is simultaneous with the 3 and the other is simultaneous with the 2. And we, for our part, suppose that in general 1 and 1,Lacoste Herr, whether the things are equal or unequal,Philadelphia Phillies Tröjor, is 2, e.g. the good and the bad, or a man and a horse; but those who hold these views say that not even two units are 2.
If the number of the 3-itself is not greater than that of the 2, this is surprising; and if it is greater,Cesc Fabregas Drakt, clearly there is also a number in it equal to the 2, so that this is not different from the 2-itself. But this is not possible,Los Angeles Chargers Hattar, if there is a first and a second number.
Nor will the Ideas be numbers. For in this particular point they are right who claim that the units must be different,Marco Reus Tröja, if there are to be Ideas; as has been said before. For the Form is unique; but if the units are not different,Belgia Drakt Damer, the 2’s and the 3’s also will not be different. This is also the reason why they must say that when we count thus-’1,2’-we do not proceed by adding to the given number; for if we do, neither will the numbers be generated from the indefinite dyad, nor can a number be an Idea; for then one Idea will be in another, and all Forms will be parts of one Form. And so with a view to their hypothesis their statements are right, but as a whole they are links:
