Question: 'Among the three characteristics of the reason, what fault is it?' Answer: 'The existence-ness acting as an object of cognitive apprehension, originally established by the reason as the qualification of the subject, lacks a similar instance in the thesis, and the reason is entirely absent from it. Commonality-particularity not being the object of cognitive apprehension of existence-ness is the dissimilar instance of the thesis, and the reason is entirely present in it. The reason "possessing one substance" is absent from the similar and present in the dissimilar, which is a fault regarding the latter two characteristics; therefore it constitutes a contradiction.'
