ABSTRACT
The infinity of quantum has been determined to the stage where it is the negative beyond of quantum, which beyond, however, is contained within the quantum itself. The infinite quantum as the unity of both moments, of the quantitative and qualitative determinateness, is in the first instance a ratio. In direct ratio, the qualitative moment does not yet emerge explicitly as such; its mode is still only that of quantum, namely, to be posited as having its determinateness in its very externality. The quantitative ratio is in itself the contradiction of externality and self-relation, of the affirmative being of quanta and their negation; next, it is sublated. The inverse ratio tire exponent as quantum is likewise immediate and is any quantum assumed as fixed. The indirect or inverse ratio is quantum posited as a qualitative quantum that is, displaying itself as self-determining, as a limit of itself within itself.
