Zero sum. Look at the real number line. Within oneself.
+1
-1
Sameness : 1
Difference: plus vs minus.
Form of the good: 0
“….although the good is not being" it is "superior to it in rank and power", it is what "provides for knowledge and truth"
When he is trying to answer such difficult questions pertaining to the definition of justice, Plato identifies that we should not "introduce every form of difference and sameness in nature" instead we must focus on "the one form (the oneness) of sameness and difference that was relevant to the particular ways of life themselves”.
(ego, “I-thought”, neuro-linguistic programs, justifications, memes, mind, culture, etc)…. themselves"
It is "what gives truth to the things known and the power to know to the knower" (imagination, the intelligible realm)
It is not only the "cause of knowledge and truth, it is also an object of knowledge".
An object of knowledge, yet not being?
Now the only inference I can make is that it’s relative to the point of reference. What is, or is absent, depends on ….?
Equality in knowledge and ignorance, right and wrong, pleasure and pain, pride and humility, superiority and inferiority, etc….
