A set is a Many that allows itself to be thought of as a One.
— Georg Cantor
How to solve the ancient problem of the one and the many?
Is the one just one, and the many merely many? Or can the one contain the many, and the many reveal the one?
Many fourfolds have been shown here. Are they different aspects of one, greater fourfold?
Or are they completely separate, incomparable and incommensurate, except for their common cardinality?
