I take “object” and “piece” metaphorically here, by the way. They would rather be subjects or waves.
That’s interesting. It suggests to me it need not be at odds with self-lightening (self-charging rather than self-discharging).
That’s from workbook Spring 1888 14 [79], which was used in Will to Power nrs. 634 and 635:
“A quantum of power is designated by the effect it produces and that which it resists. […] It is essentially a will to violate and to defend oneself against violation. Not self-preservation: every atom affects the whole of being—it is thought away if one thinks away this radiation of power-will. That is why I call it a quantum of ‘will to power’: it expresses the characteristic that cannot be thought out of the mechanistic order without thinking away this order itself.” (WP 634, Kaufmann ed.)
Interestingly, Nietzsche emphasizes “be” (werden), I suppose in order to stress that it’s already thought in with the rest of the mechanistic order of being. It is the irrefutable error of free will. That is to say, every (“piece” of) self-lightening experiences itself as wanting to violate and—thereby!—defend(ing) itself against violation (and is therefore a ‘subject’); but actually, this feeling of free will is only an appearance accompanying every ‘eradiation’ of force.—To be sure, the following may still be the case then:
If there is self-lightening, it must hold itself to be something (actually, not a thing, an object, but a subject of some kind). And that of which it is lightened must hold itself both different from that from which it is lightened—and vice versa—and as ‘something’. But this is not a matter of cause and effect but rather of a necessary condition. From the AI overview of my Google search for ‘necessary condition’:
“In logic, if A is a necessary condition for B, then if B is true, A must also be true. For example, if the statement ‘it is raining’ implies ‘the sidewalk is wet,’ then ‘the sidewalk is wet’ is a necessary condition for ‘it is raining’.”
Here, the necessary condition is rather an effect than the cause. Likewise, the accompanying appearance ‘feeling of active standard-setting/holding’ is rather an effect than the cause in self-lightening. It’s certainly not a sufficient condition, let alone its sole sufficient condition.
