Did Nimbarka not give Dvaita-advaita/dualism monism?

Hey, so I have very little knowledge on the matter. I answered from some vague memory from a test series. Not sure if I'm right. But I read about it now. Apparently, you can't ascribe Bhedabheda philosophy to one founder and it was a tradition. Most commonly associated names with it are Bhaskara, Nimbarka, Vallabhacharya, Yadava and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. So I don't know which answer would be correct. Hopefully@upsc2020  can clarify.

Here's a link for your understanding.

No, you did not make a mistake. Bheda Abheda (And not Bheda Bheda. There is nothing like Bheda Bheda, perhaps!) is essentially Dualism Monoism or Dvaita Advaita.

Dvaita Advaita would be Dualistic 'non dualism' (not monism). 

Where Monism says there's no difference between Atman and Brahma at all. 

Dvaita Advaita says there's difference between Atman and Brahma but no different existence. (Essentially it doesn't say it is different and it doesn't say it is not different : net, neti - not this, not this) 


Pointed it out because calling non dualism (not two existence) as monism (one existence) would be wrong.

@PhoenixD thanks. I had got it wrong. Monoism should not be same as non Dualism.

@AlexanderSupertramp 

Edge computing enables data to be analysed, processed, and transferred at the edge of a network. The idea is to analyse data locally, closer to where it is stored, in real-time without latency, rather than send it far away to a centralised data centre. So whether you are streaming a video on Netflix or accessing a library of video games in the cloud, edge computing allows for quicker data processing and content delivery.

The basic difference between edge computing and cloud computing lies in where the data processing takes place.

5G networks are capable of supporting edge workloads.
