There's no argument here.  I reproduced Whitehead's *argument* for you. It's
very clear.  It's about any form of reasoning that makes use of the
"variable".  As he indicates, It doesn't just apply to algebra.  One thing
plus another thing only makes two things if the identities of the things
added together are maintained in a way that makes the outcome of the process
of adding them together (changing their relations) "two things".  Where is
the mistake in this reasoning?

How explicitly does Carol Gould improve on Hegel and Whitehead's concept of
internal relations?
