{{Cnote2|E|Aristotle wrote about this concept in ''[[Metaphysics (Aristotle)|Metaphysics]]'' (Quoted from [http://classics.mit.edu/Aristotle/metaphysics.mb.txt The Internet Classics Archive] translation by [[W. D. Ross]]. Book VIII, Part 6): "To return to the difficulty which has been stated with respect both to definitions and to numbers, what is the cause of their unity? In the case of all things which have several parts and in which the totality is not, as it were, a mere heap, but the whole is something besides the parts, there is a cause; for even in bodies contact is the cause of unity in some cases and in others viscosity or some other such quality."}}
