Hindu philosophy
Vaisesika metaphysical premises are founded on a form of atomism, that the reality is composed of four substances (earth, water, air, fire). Each of these four are of two types: atomic (paramanu) and composite. An atom is, according to Vaisesika scholars, that which is indestructible (anitya), indivisible, and has a special kind of dimension, called "small" (anu). A composite, in this philosophy, is defined to be anything which is divisible into atoms. Whatever human beings perceive is composite, while atoms are invisible. The Vaisesikas stated that size, form, truths and everything that human beings experience as a whole is a function of atoms, their number and their spatial arrangements, their guna (quality), karma (activity), samanya (commonness), visesa (particularity) and amavaya (inherence, inseparable connectedness of everything).
