This is Being. There is a relation between the categories of Being which are necessarily involved in the attempt to think it. Nevertheless, there is not order between individual things and all relations are external. Measure is implicitly Essence Determinations of individuals, in the first instance, are either quantitative or qualitative. Neither quality nor quantity is, however enough in themselves for individuality, there is a third determinations in their unity, which is measure.
Quantity passes over to quality and quantity passes over to quantity.
If I bite an apple, it changes from apple to non-apple. If I take another bite, and later another, so on apple pass to nothing. In being, things flow smoothly or abruptly to non-things. In the sphere of Being, when somewhat becomes another, the somewhat has vanished. The ordinary consciousness conceives things as being, and studies them in quality, quantity, and measure.
