| − | | It is we who created the "thing", the "identical thing",
| |
| − | | subject, attribute, activity, object, substance, form,
| |
| − | | after we had long pursued the process of making identical,

| − | In many discussions the source context remains unformalized in itself,
| |
| − | taking form only according to the image it receives in one or another
| |
| − | individual MOI. In cases like these, the step of formalization does
| |
| − | not amount to a total function but is limited to a partial mapping
| |
| − | from the source to the target. Such a partial representation is
| |
| − | analogous to a sampling operation. It is not defined on every
| |
| − | point of the source domain but assigns values only to a proper
| |
| − | selection of source elements. Thus, a partial formalization
| |
| − | can be regarded as achieving its form of simplification in
| |
| − | a loose way, ignoring elements of the source domain and
| |
| − | collapsing material distinctions in irregular fashions.
