We and Pluralization

As has been previously discussed, traditional Rationalism and traditional Empiricism each seems to lack a concept of a concrete We, thereby raising the Kantian question, 'How is such a concept possible?', the answer to which would need to entail both concrete Unity and concrete Multiplicity. Now, the common example of a 'we', i. e. a group of people engaged in a single task, is inadequate in that regard, since the Unity remains abstract. A little closer to concrete Unity is coitus, in which two become one, but only almost. However, a better possibility is suggested by the latter, but conversely. For, often in that act, two become three, thereby unambiguously actualizing a process of Pluralization, which in the case of Mitosis is one becoming two. So, the concept of We is entailed in the process of Pluralization, even if the latter exceeds the scope of either traditional doctrine.
