I don’t. I’ll do some research. The origin of this concept comes from discussions I had on identity, specifically the ability to separate the “self” from the rest of the universe, or to isolate some quantity of stuff and claim it’s an apple.

I don’t know what branch of semiotics examines the creation of the concepts of unity and succession.
