The view of both [difference and non-difference] is not tenable due to contradiction and the occurrence of the faults previously mentioned in both positions. Nor is the view of neither [difference nor non-difference] tenable, because among mutually exclusive things, the negation of one necessarily implies the affirmation of the other; thus the negation of what has just been affirmed is not logical, as affirmation and negation regarding the same thing are contradictory.
