The Uniqueness and Contribution of Each Aspect

Each aspect contributes some possibility that no other aspects do, and which cannot be reduced to other aspects. And what each contributes depends for its actualization and fulfilment on all the other aspects.

This is why all we do and are is multi-aspectual. It is also why, when using aspects to analyse or understand something, we improve clarity.
