Preconditions

To understand the essence of the "and" and "or", it may be of some benefit to understand the conditions under which it can exist.  I have said that multiplicity is a precondition for the existence of the "and" and "or", as is movement.  Does movement create the "and" and "or", or do they create movement, or do they simply define each other?  In any event, the multiplicity of things does not assure the existence of the "and" and the "or".
Returning to the question of the conditions under which they can exist, I have also said that if the universe was at one time simply one super energetic atom, lacking electrons or any other subatomic components, then the "and" and "or" didn't exist, though they would appear to have existed in potential form.   In physics, the total amount of energy: potential energy plus actual energy, does not change over time.  Either potential or actual energy changes, but the total does not, and potential and actual are inversely proportional to each other, i.e., when potential increases, actual decreases by the same amount etc.    We can say the same for the potential and actual forms of the "and" and "or".
But another digression.  Where a chain of thought is interrupted by an insight, hopefully it is OK...
We can also say that the "and" and "or" would not exist in actual form if the entire universe, at one time, was simply a void, or nothingness, without even one super atom.
I think we can also say that they wouldn't exist in actual form if the universe, at one time, was a super atom within an infinite void. Even if the super atom moved within the void, it could not draw away from the void, as the void would be infinite in all directions.  The super atom would be forever joined or fused with the void, unable to escape, unless it obliterated the void by blowing itself into smithereens, which is what it did.  If we define the infinite void as something like the super atom, then we may have to qualify our conclusion slightly regarding multiplicity. By multiplicity, we don't mean a homogenous being plus a void, rather, we mean more than one being, where neither of those beings can be the void. As I understand it, relativity says this wasn't the case with the known universe; as we approach the beginning of time space itself shrinks until it consists of this infinitely small super atom.
