As Strathern suggested for relation, perhaps this abstract idea was then applied down to the level of a family of three. This threesome can figure, in the \"many-as-One\" register, as a supraidividual that, like a single person, is perceived as able to do and say this or that (the family is happy, buys a house, goes on a holiday, etc.). It can figure as three individuals or three dyadic relations or Family (the capital letter denotes the reification) — just as a large, delimtied body of people can figure as a multitude of individuals or multiple dyadic relations or Society. The arithmetic ontological jump from two to One drew the attention of turn-of-the-twentieth-century philosopher and sociologist Georg Simmel. He Proposed that the dyad is a basic and irreducible form, but once a third person joins the dyad, \"societalization\" begins. There emerges a completely new figure, a social whole, a \"we\" that obtains hyperexistent life, independent of the individuals that compose it, characterized by part-to-whole relations.",
