COMBINATION

[B132] "Combination is representation of the synthetic unity of the manifold". It is not present prior to synthesis in objects or our unsynthesized manifold of intuitions, and is [B135] "always an affair of the [spontaneous power of the faculty of] understanding alone". [B201] Kant divides all combination into composition and connection, and cites several modes of each type of combination (combination involves aggregation or coalition, which determine, respectively, extensive and intensive magnitudes; types of connection include dynamical, physical, and metaphysical).
