\u"ni*ty\ (?), n.; pl. unities (#). [oe. unite, f. unité, l. unitas, from unus one. see one, and cf. unit.]
1. the state of being one; oneness. whatever we can consider as one thing suggests to the understanding the idea of unity.
note: unity is affirmed of a simple substance or indivisible monad, or of several particles or parts so intimately and closely united as to constitute a separate body or thing. see the synonyms under union.
2. concord; harmony; conjunction; agreement; uniformity; as, a unity of proofs; unity of doctrine. behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! cxxxiii. 1.
3. (math.) any definite quantity, or aggregate of quantities or magnitudes taken as one, or for which 1 is made to stand in calculation; thus, in a table of natural sines, the radius of the circle is regarded as unity.
note: the number 1, when it is not applied to any particular thing, is generally called unity.
4. (poetry & rhet.) in dramatic composition, one of the principles by which a uniform tenor of story and propriety of representation are preserved; conformity in a composition to these; in oratory, discourse, etc., the due subordination and reference of every part to the development of the leading idea or the eastablishment of the main proposition.
note: in the greek drama, the three unities required were those of action, of time, and of place; that is, that there should be but one main plot; that the time supposed should not exceed twenty-four hours; and that the place of the action before the spectators should be one and the same throughout the piece.
5. (fine arts & mus.) such a combination of parts as to constitute a whole, or a kind of symmetry of style and character.
6. (law) the peculiar characteristics of an estate held by several in joint tenancy.
note: the properties of it are derived from its unity, which is fourfold; unity of interest, unity of title, unity of time, and unity of possession; in other words, joint tenants have one and the same interest, accruing by one and the same conveyance, commencing at the same time, and held by one and the same undivided possession. unity of possession is also a joint possession of two rights in the same thing by several titles, as when a man, having a lease of land, afterward buys the fee simple, or, having an easement in the land of another, buys the servient estate.

Unity, Unity Of Possession
UNITY - An agreement or coincidence of certain qualities in the title of a joint estate or an estate in common.
In a joint estate there must exist four unities; that of interest, for a joint-tenant cannot be entitled to one period of duration or quantity of interest in lands, and the other to a different; one cannot be tenant for life, and the other for years: that of title, and therefore their estate must be created by one and, the same act; that of time, for their estates must be vested at one and the same period, as well as by one and the same title; and lastly, the unity of possession: hence joint-tenants are seised per my et per tout, or by the half or moiety and by all: that is, each of them has an entire possession, as well of every parcel as of the whole.
Coparceners must have the unities of interest, title, and possession.
In tenancies-in-common, the unity of possession is alone required.
UNITY OF POSSESSION - This term is used to designate the possession by one person of several estates or rights. For example, a right to an estate to which an easement is attached, or the dominant estate, and to an estate which an easement encumbers, or the servient estate, in such case the easement is extinguished. But a distinction has been made between a thing that has being by prescription, and one that has its being ex jure naturae; in the former case unity of possession will extinguish the easement; in the latter, for example, the case of a water course, the unity will not extinguish it.

Unity
Unity Kosmic unity, incomprehensible to humans, implies wholeness, homogeneity, uniformity, indivisibility -- individuality. Its primary expression is kosmic space. Unity can be applied to any individual, such as the First Logos or any subordinate logos; again, any individual monadic unit is de facto a unity. Unity, in contrast with duality or multiplicity, is relative, as when we speak of a whole in relation to its parts, the unitary essence of a compound body, or the hyparxis of a hierarchy. The tendency of evolution on an upward arc is towards unity; on a downward arc, towards diversity; and both tendencies are active in the human being.
With Pythagoras, one is not a number but the root of all numbers flowing out of it, but in modern views it is the first number. It may be called mystically dual, for as a power of 2 it must be even, while as 1 less than 2 it must be odd. Unity may be viewed as simple or as all-inclusive; it appears as the goal of both analysis and synthesis.
In considering how the One becomes the many, how the homogeneous becomes heterogeneous, during the differentiations during manvantara, we are posing the ultimate problem. The unity during manvantaric kosmic differentiation does not lose its unity in the vast diversities of such differentiation, for the unity forever remains the originant and expresses itself at the same time as its integral unity and as the emanated hierarchies which temporarily flow forth from it, in time to return into it again.

Unity
Music consists of repetition (similarity) and contrast. The unity in this framework is achieved through a refrain section or basso ostinato as binding agents, recurrent use of the same melodic or rhythmic motif (persistent figuration, idee fixe, leitmotif as means of creating thematic unity), tonal plan (starting and finishing in the same key visiting related keys in between), use of a certain recurrent interval in all significant melodic material (intervallic relationship), or thematic transformation (developing related themes from an original theme in different parts of the piece). In Baroque music, a single melodic or rhythmic figure representing a single mood or affekt establishes the unity.

Unity
that which is distinguishable from a background, the sole condition necessary for existence in a given domain. The nature of a unity and the domain in which the unity exists are specified by the process of its distinction and determination; this is so regardless of whether this process is conceptual or physical. (Maturana and Varela, 1979)
Something distinguished against its background by an observer who considers it a whole entity. Something describable as whole without the need to describe it in interaction with its environment (see independence, figure-ground ). (Krippendorff )

UNITY
UNITY is the theoretical political journal of Socialist Worker (Aotearoa), published quarterly in Auckland, New Zealand, since December 2005. It is edited by Daphne Lawless, and each issue focuses on a central theme of interest to the socialist and radical left movement.
The first edition of Unity, published in December 2005, explored the issue of Left regroupment both in New Zealand and internationally. The second edition (March 2006) looked at the history of the Labour Party, contending that traditional Social Democracy had now morphed into Social Liberalism.
The third edition (published in June 2006) looked at radical union movements and was entitled "Strike! The Workers Weapon", investigating key flashpoints between the labour movement and capital in New Zealand in 1913, 1951 and more recent times. A fourth copy (September 2006) developed a positive analysis of the Venezuelan Revolution, contending that Latin America was now a continent in revolt, leading the way to a Socialism of the 21st Century.
