It's the old problem of the one and the many. If you affirm interconnectedness above all else you end up with "everything" being just one thing. If you affirm isolated being, you get a slide into multiplicity, and ideologies like corpuscular mechanism. The solution is an understanding of participation and the Analogia Entis, or being as incarnation and exitus and reditus as ordered to theosis.
