I suppose the existence of many-in-one is what allows for the possibility of the beautiful.
& if you grant the existence of many-in-one, you necessarily grant the existence of one.
Perhaps the tendency toward the many is creation, while the tendency toward the one is (in Simone Weil's terms) decreation.
But I would say that behind these abstractions there is always. . . someone.
