6483. From what has now been stated it may also be seen that what is overall is conditioned entirely by its specific aspects. The less precise these are, the more inferior also is the quality of the overall; but the more precise they are, the more superior therefore is the quality of the overall. For the specific aspects are what constitute the overall and enable it to be spoken of as the overall. From this one may recognize what the Divine overall is like - that it is composed of specific aspects of the most precise nature; for being Divine and infinite the quality of it is very much superior to all else.
