The paper constitutes the 4th chapter, pages 68-84, of the book Rosenzweig Jahrbuch / Rosenzweig Yearbook 11, Das »Und« im Werk Franz Rosenzweigs / The »And« in Franz Rosenzweig’s Work, ed. by Matthew Handelman, Ephraim Meir, Christian Wiese, Verlag Karl Alber in der Verlag Herder GmbH, Freiburg / München 2018.

The oscillation model provides another meaning of the »and«
