TO THE QUESTION ABOUT QUANTITATIVE - QUALITATIVE TRANSITIONS

Critics of the Dialectic laws as the basic reason against them, usually speak about any mystery of quantitative - qualitative transitions, state doubts concerning how permanent quantitative growth of size of one quality suddenly results in occurrence of other quality. Thus, very often, in quality of a "terrible" example for the given dialectic law the theory of Darwin is given.(...)

(..)The second necessary condition of exact definition of the moment of quantitative - qualitative transition is, whenever possible, the most precise delimitation of each of qualities. For this purpose application of the minimal, elementary units of measurements of a measure of these qualities is necessary. For example, for measurement of a degree of fullness of a vessel by water by the minimal, elementary unit there will be one molecule of water. For a presence(finding) of transition from gaseous limiting hydrocarbons to liquid - such minimal unit will be one carbon part. In sports competitions of racers, transition from measurement of time with the accuracy equal of 0,01 second, to the accuracy equal of 0,001 second, allows to reveal the winner in those cases which did not come to light earlier, that compelled to recognize as winners of two leaders.(...)
