Kid, I am not going to do your homework for you. That is why you have a book. Pick it up and read it. You may actually learn something.

They may be defined negatively as in mental illness, unknowings (as in a child) or contingent and temporary...

example:

1. The parts without a whole, Identified somethings detected.
2. the wholes without a part, the outline or perceived boundary of an unknown or unidentified thing.
3. the differences without an equivalence, formal operative failure in cognitive process
4. the equivalences without a difference, a thing in its self is same for its self and that proposition needs no proof; it is self evidently true
5. the links without a limit, infinity concept needs not measure
6. the limits without a link, unnecessary
7. the influences without a sensation, objective reality in absence of self, retrospected discovery
8. the sensations without an influence, ignoring influence for purpose or ignoring influence for a purpose
9. the derivatives without an origin, one over infinity of a duration is less time than necessary for any creation
10. the origins without a derivative, same as 9
11. the conditions without a rule, 'condition' equals 'rule' not 'condition' for 'rule', i.e. they are synonym for each other
12. the rules without a condition, gravity is unconditional; it is not an option for human choice or rejection
13. the fulfillment's without an intent, given being
14. the intents without a fulfillment, a fact of life

Because they are examples of binary thinking that leads people into endless traps.

vapid, inane semantic drivel...

how sad

circumlocutious logic contains and is contained by its own circumlocutious logic

as the German idiom goes....
the mountain has struggled and produced a mouse

Disagree.
One part can be defined with reference to another. One whole can be defined with reference to another whole... etc. etc.

because they cannot be quantified, also they are ideas and ideas can never be defined it is dynamic.

because they go together, they do not work without eachother.
