Unity is Sometimes a Dangerous Notion

The Unity of parts we perceive in our experiences of general perception is always a result of difference.  It is quantitative difference that yields qualitative diversity.  That is, quantitative difference requires an intensive individuating factor in order to yield qualitative diversity.  For example, when water is heated to boiling point, a qualitative diversity has appeared in the transition from liquid to steam once heating the water reached an intensive point in quantitative difference.  The unity that characterizes our perception is always a result of intensity, quantitative difference, operating beneath the qualitative diversity that appears in unified parts.  Difference is thus inherent to unity.  Difference is potential, not something to be eliminated.  Unity on the other hand is explicated difference.  It is difference without potential, mere identity, stasis.
