  Biodiversified me - Cogito ergo cum 

This coessence puts essence itself in the hyphenation - "being-singular-plural" - which is a mark of union and also a mark of division, a mark of sharing that
effaces itself, leaving each term to its isolation and its being-with-the others.

- Jean-Luc Nancy, Being Singular Plural (2000/1996)
