Only coexisting phenomena tension and compression, convexity and concavity, and electromagnetic charges are each special cases of the generalized mathematical case of the only-coexistence of functions of a system. This statement is a third-degree generalization which generalizes generalizations.

"Forty years ago I generalized this third-degree abstraction even further by saying that 'unity is plural and at minimum two.' This is a fourth-degree generalization."
