Thank you, John, for an almost prosaic response.
My point is that our universe has two actions going on at the same time that are not related. They have nothing in common. There is no link between the two actions.
As such, they are not a duality; they are not each others’ opposite; they do not relate; there is no interaction.
Your reply is filled with couples and it appears that you are fully engaged in one of the two actions. You acknowledge the other action but seem to weave it into a single story as if they are related.
That is what I can give. Two unrelated structures together forming an overall structure only in as far as being part of the same reality. The universe is not an entity; it is a name given to the collective that we happen to be part of.
Separation and togetherness can be viewed as a couple. Yet universal separation and universal togetherness do not exist as a couple, because they exist each at a distinct level. Universal separation occurs at the largest level, while universal togetherness occurs one level below, but indeed everywhere where matter is moving outwardly as collectives.

John, I am not sure we are on the same page anymore. I am a structural philosopher and I love to understand structure. In your deliveries, the structures appear less central; as I see it, they appear and disappear.
Do you mind formulating your replies in a more structured fashion. If you are not able to, that is fine, too, and that explains the answers you provide also better. But I am hoping you can create a reply message that is structured.
Let me formulate it differently of what I am asking. We can formulate planet earth from the perspective of the planet, gravity down, feet on the ground. We can also, if we wish, start out with the sky, because we would not be here if it wasn’t for the atmosphere. As such, it is the essential layer with on one side matter in which we cannot live and on the other side space in which we cannot live.
I hope you understand the two distinct analogies. I’d like it if you base your delivery on solid ground, even when that is a planet that is then not based on a solid ground in absolute terms, but in localized terms.
Warm regards,
Fred-Rick
