“In both the most fundamental and the most general sense, three things can be singled out by a specification: nothing, something, or everything. The three Haecceities of the first sequence of the Haecceities series illustrate basic ways in which these things can be singled out Essentially—and so in relation to indispensable elements of artistic complexes.” – Haecceities: Essentialism, Identity, and Abstraction

Additional consideration of how nothing, something, and everything can be understood to be singled out, and to function conceptually and aesthetically, within an Essentialist context can be found in Haecceities: Essentialism, Identity, and Abstraction.
