Isolation is the basis of all notions of separateness. It inheres in one as well as in many substances. Its eternal and non-eternal manifestations are in the same way as those of Number ; the only difference lies in this : that of Isolation, there are no such subdivisions as Individual Isolation and the like, as there is in the case of ‘unity (of number) ; but Isolation is always qualified by number ; as we often come across notions of Isolation qualified by number. (vii-ii-2).
