The Commens Dictionary

Quote from ‘The Fourth Curiosity’

Quote: 

A brute force, as, for example, an existent particle […] is nothing for itself; whatever it is, it is for what it is attracting and what it is repelling: its being is actual, consists in action, is dyadic. That is what I call existence.
