So are many other biological things. This is evidence for Dooyeweerd's concept that e.g. biotic laws depend on mathematical as an earlier aspect. Analogies x We practise many analogies to the quantitative modality. Whenever we use a metric we are transducing to number, and thus making use of the in-built potential for analogy between each aspect and the quantitative. Here are some examples.
Size is spatial amount.
Speed is perhaps kinematic amount. Probably an analogical rather than dependency link. But this needs checking out more precisely. First, we have simple discrete quantity, which counts things. So far, only in the quantitative aspect.
