What the paper says

Universal interconnection and universal change are what call for the dialectical method of inquiry. Superdeterminism requires that the changes coming to anything result, in part, from causes within it, but its perseverance nonetheless will mean these are temporarily counteracted: so every phenomenon is contradictory. Nor can change remain unchangingly incremental: at a threshold, quantity will be transformed into quality. Neither can the superseded remain unchangingly absent, or return just as before: hence, the negation of the negation.
