It is neccesary that if separateness impplies dissonance (opposition), then that separateness impplies harmony (agreeement). This is clear for when we give a property to something, then not only always we are impplying that it doesn't have the other distributive properties, that is, we are neglecting the rest of the colours if we say something has one colour, but also we are determining that all the other colours could be properties of this thing or of anything. The first view is hegelianism and the second is antihegelianism. The thing is that Hegel himself impplies antihegelianism, but it doesn't contain it. Therefore we can take the dualism of hegelianism-antihegelianism as not being dialectic. Anyway, a synthesis can never be something real, for it is only the combination of the two oppositions, not the mixture. And we knwo from chemistry that mixtures are new substances but combinations aren't.
