=== Alias "multiplicity" ===

[[E:Q42|Existentialist]] philosopher Henri Bergson describes this concept with the term <i>multiplicity</i>, but that term extends further than the scope of this entry. The concept of plurality described in this entry is fundamentally connected to the notion of subunits of a greater whole being countable and separable at least at some point in time; particular subunits may take time to emerge out of a <i>unity</i>, but as long as they emerge eventually at some later date they would then be <i>in plurality</i> or in <i>separable multiplicity</i>. On the other hand, <i>multiplicity</i> may also extend to "qualitative" aspects of a whole which can never be properly separated. This entry does not include that.
