Quantum

Quantum is determinate quantity - a magnitude with a boundary (5 meters, 100 degrees). Unlike the qualitative boundary, the quantitative boundary is indifferent: more or less does not change the what. Quantum has a double structure: extensive (divisible, addable, like length) and intensive (indivisible, degree, like temperature). It stands in relation to other quanta (direct 1:2, inverse 1/x, power x²). Spurious infinity shows itself here as "always still more."
