A beginning achieved by return is no longer immediate

Evidence

It thus returns to its own beginning. Such a beginning, because it is the result of a return, is no longer immediate. The concept has returned to itself through the movement of its actual differentiation explicitly displayed in the three syllogisms which terminate this section. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 938

Categorization

• DEFINE: Core to the plasticity concept: the returned-to beginning loses immediacy, so identity is constituted through movement rather than given.
• XREF: Links to the classic opening of Hegel’s Logic where the beginning must be mediated; also resonates with Malabou’s ongoing account of the concept’s self-return. — connects to: Rushing homeward is driven by the destination rather than the route
