Dirimens copulatio: “a joining that interrupts” Mentioned in chapter one. Simply states that it accomplishes amplification and that layering points can accomplish this. It’s explained elsewhere by pointing out that it’s done with conjunctions like:
Not only …, but …
For example:
Not one, but two!
Stating it with a disjunctive conjunction and layering a lesser degree next to a greater degree appears to accomplish a sort of amplification.
