Enantiadromia, or, a sex-change operation: He becomes her as she becomes him. Or, the child becomes the adult as the adult becomes the child. Where in the world does the idea of progress come from? There is no adult apart from a child, no him apart from her. There is no original parent, absent the original child. Here then is the "great lie" called history.

I am a child and an adult, a man and a woman. How can I be castrated if I am bi-sexual? How can I develop if I am developed at conception? To replace "and" with "or" is to insert a space of time into the relationship between the metaphors. Am I a man or a mouse?

The relationship between metaphors is ambiguous; neither word represents the other. Methaphors present a likeness, a similarity, an analogy, but never a distinction. To make a distinction requires a concept. The conceptual process is a digital process which translates words as numbers; the metaphorical relationship is overcoded bythe numerical relationship ( -1 0 +1 ). It is the conceptual process that translates imagination as fantasy. The becoming is in the concepts.
