“In a union, indeed, the things between which there is this relation are called parts, and taken together with the union, a whole. This occurs as often as we suppose a plurality of things at the same time to be One. One, instead, means something that we think of in a single intellectual act, that is, at the same time.”

G W Leibniz, Dissertation on Combinatorial Art, 1666
