The state of having two opposite or contradictory tendencies (male, female etc.)
Whether one likes it or not, the state of feuding in societies which live freely in nature, be it Greek city-states or Algonquin Confederacy, is endemic.
In Indian folklore, the trickster - scavenger, Coyote - is an intermediary who uses cunning rather than sheer force to gain his ends.
Tales of the Coyote can be pretty absurd, and were put into comicbook form by Englehart with Marshall Rogers and others. The absurdity of existence is not something that often occurs to numerically-besotted scientists, but it certainly does to poetic icons the likecof Emily Dickinson.
My nosegays are for Captives -
Dim - long expectant eyes -
Fingers denied the plucking,
Patient till Paradise -
To such, if they sh'd whisper
Of morning and the moor -
They bear no other errand,
And I, no other prayer
Dickinson's individualist psychedelia has been compared to the Transcendentalism of Emerson and others of the mid 19th century, though her quirky punctuation was a law unto itself.
Now, the question with DNA is: does it have such things as punctuation and a type of 'grammar? It must have in order to be read by RNA transcriptase but even so they have no meaning (no semantics.)
The reason is that DNA is something that is accessed by the body with complete freedom. The fact that it is ordered is just a figment; it has to be ordered in order to be read by RNA transcriptase proteins.
Any language has to be read, the difference is that Dickinson's poems have meaning (psyche) While DNA has none.
In order for the body to function freely by choosing strands of DNA (miscopies or mutations), DNA has to be functionless. That's just a logical necessity. If DNA had any function, the body would be circumscribed and could not gain evolutionary advantage.
What that means is that the calculations on the meaning, language and function of DNA by scientist-clones are all without meaning. A figment of 'fact'.
All it means is that they enter a parallel reality of convincing illusions (numbers, algorithms.) The ego is triumphant. The more the analysis, the more of a figment it is (and the more convincing, natch.)
As has already been said (SR2,3), the body is a psychic rapport of mechanism and function through the hindbrain (cerebellum) and the spine and muscles such as diaphragm that empower mammals in running, hunting, mating.
The mechanics of DNA are a figment compared to these powerful processes of active bodies in pursuit of goals. That has to be so in order for the body to function freely through choice through the random mutations of DNA, which is itself functionless.
In short, pursuing a mechanical model foe DNA is just one more illusion of the mirror of illusions, the neutral zone of numerical compulsion. The distorted rhythms that are the equivalent of the neutral zone of sex.
In other words, analysis of DNA is just another ego-compulsion of a compulsive order that has no desire for the fecundity of the natural order (obscenity.) No desire, since desire comes out of a recognition of opposites and that there is no tyrannical order that makes things the same (no obscenity, no filth.)
Sameness is an illusion, a parallel reality of ego-compulsion. The body is a product of teetering g balance that confounds logic. The illogical borrows from the logical (Corneille), a concept that enables freedom of choice in an order of natural rhythms, as opposed to distorted compulsions (ego.)
