I posted this on a different blog, but knew I'd eventually re-post it here.
Any given duality is fourfold:
1. It is two things in mutual exclusion: left or right, night or day, male or female, on or off, for some examples.
2. It is a single thing which forms a space for manifestation between empty polarities: left/right, night/day, male/female, on/off, for some examples.
3. It is three things when counting the polarities plus their (essential) relationship to One and Other: {left, right, and}, {night, day, and}, {male, female, and}, {on, off, and}, for some examples.
4. It is nothing without relation to some other duality.
Dualities are squares and crosses.
And of course these more specific claims need to be fleshed out. The above model of duality is merely the skeleton.
