What is not one, is zero. What is not zero, is one. What is not zero, is zero. One is not a quantity. "A quantum is perfectly determined as a _number_ [_Zahl_]. _Geometry,_ by contrast to _arithmetic,_ is the science of continuous magnitude. But, in order to determine a space, we must make use of number, Number is perfectly determinate because its principle is the one. The principle of number is the totality, which is the one. If we begin with one [as our unit], we may view it as consisting of a thousand parts. Our one has many ones within it, and it is thus designated as an _amount_ [_Anzahl_] of the one viewed as the unit - it is an amount of some unit. An amount is a contained manyness of ones - all contained by a border. These many ones have a common _oneness._ A number contains both discreteness and continuity: many ones and their oneness." -- Hegel, Lectures on Logic, trans. Clark Butler. What is not zero is zero (in addition); ontology hasn't come into being, no one cares. Care creates the one, 'look here.' In play, here, the world moves, harmonic analysis. But perhaps I create myself, 'look here.' (See as well Peirce on the continuum as a collocation of intervals.) Perhaps this looking slides, hands slide, sound slides. Sound does nothing; either everything or nothing is sound, either one or zero. Or nothing.
