of `being` and `non-being` in `existence` as it was first presented is now
regarded as _one_ of its forms, namely, in its `reality`.

### Implications of Qualitative Difference

Hegel's account of `quality` shows that a characteristic that _is_ also contains
a necessary negative component, namely, that it is _not_. While the logic has
not yet developed any context, much less a "thing", within which such `quality`
could inhere, one can appreciate that any determinate being cannot be qualified
as anything less than the singular difference of `reality` and `negation`; each
accenting a distinctive feature of determinacy. If Hegel is right, there is no
such thing as a being that only contains pure reality, for anything that is real
implies negation, and negation, in turn, is no mere void or lack of reality but
_is_ itself a real difference.
