Does quantity exist in the universe?

that's some pretty stuff

>Well, yeah, but one could argue that in spite of all of this particles interact with one another, and thusly influence their behaviour. Wouldn't that mean that particles -do- in fact discriminate single particles?

I will say that there is a difference in the structure and the interlockings of the particles. Their resonace will be different.
The particular structure will have resonant harmonics interlocking with other particles of similar structure.
a specific particle consists of smaller particles, some of similar, some of different structure to the specific particle.
We can call it a particle. but it is not solid as such. it is broken up into smaller particles by harmonics.

Quantity is a thought construct.

It's a useful tool for us to study things. But when you try to make claims about quantities being "real," things get fuzzy. As this user pointed out, quantities are relative to whatever you're talking about.

>what the implications of this might be for our understanding of reality.
There is no morality.
There is no property.
Man is the measure of all things.
Any kind of body is a focal point through wich its relation towards its invironment is reflected.
The laws of nature are old patterns. They are habits if you will, and not fixed. The forces are interlocked by resonance, and can be dissolved by resonance.

a circuit must be complete to flow

wait a goddamn minute, noob here

are there atoms literally everywhere? Are there places where there's literally just nothing or am I led to believe that outside the apple is air atoms and outside the atmosphere there are other things?

empty space isn't really

think of pixels on a screen, sometimes nothing is illuminated from one PoV

But I've deliberately defined my system as separate from its surroundings.
