The fact that there is a unity in everything demonstrates that they are the works and artefacts of a single being. The universe is like a rosebud swathed in a thousand veils of unity. Or it is a single macroanthropos dressed in unities to the number of Divine Names and universal Divine works.
Said Nursi

WHAT DOES UNITIES MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Classical unities

The classical unities, Aristotelian unities or three unities are rules for drama derived from a passage in Aristotle's Poetics. In their neoclassical form they are as follows: ▪ The unity of action: a play should have one main action that it follows, with no or few subplots. ▪ The unity of place: a play should cover a single physical space and should not attempt to compress geography, nor should the stage represent more than one place. ▪ The unity of time: the action in a play should take place over no more than 24 hours.

Richard K. Morgan
I'd always had a hankering to write some old-school sword and sorcery. And there certainly are advantages to that particular form - for one thing, you're able to go all-out on the imaginative front, with a lot less concern for the usual unities of time and space and character.

Said Nursi
The fact that there is a unity in everything demonstrates that they are the works and artefacts of a single being. The universe is like a rosebud swathed in a thousand veils of unity. Or it is a single macroanthropos dressed in unities to the number of Divine Names and universal Divine works.
