And if not, what is preventing this from happening?What is pure actuality must be one since there is no way for one thing to differ from another in its being unless there is some real potentiality for differentiation. But in a being of pure actuality there is no potential whatsoever. Hence, there there is no real differentiation in it. All of it is one; there cannot be two or more, since neither would really be different from the other in its being and would thus be one, rather than two.
