whatever, that is, nothing that depends on a quantum as such; it is posited as qualitative by the nature of the formula, whenever the difference of the moment on which the magnitude to be compared depends is a difference of power; since this difference comes down to and and (which after all is supposed to signify a number) is then to be represented as a fraction, is in and for itself smaller than, so that even the representation of an arbitrary magnitude in which might be taken is here superfluous and in fact out of place.
