Point of Excess I
Two Counts
belonging and inclusion, with regard to the multiple a, concern two distinct
operators of counting, and not two different ways to think the being of the
multiple. The structure of a is a itself, which forms a one out of all the multiples
which belong to it. The set of all the subsets of a, p(a), forms a one out of all the
multiples included in a, but this second count, despite being related to a, is
absolutely distinct from a itself. It is therefore a metastructure, another count,
which completes the first in that it gathers together all the sub-compositions of
internal multiples, all the inclusions. The power-set axiom posits that this second
count, this metastructure, always exists if the first count, or presentative
structure, exists. (84)
However, there is an immediate consequence of this decision: the gap between
structure and metastructure, between element and subset, between belonging
and inclusion, is a permanent question for thought, an intellectual provocation
of being. I said that a and p(a) were distinct. In what measure? With what
effects? This point, apparently technical, will lead us all the way to the Subject
and to truth. What is sure, in any case, is that no multiple a can coincide with
the set of its subsets. Belonging and inclusion, in the order of being-existent, are
irreducibly disjunct. (84)
