BTW - given the use of analogy/metaphor is instinctive, so the properties and
methods in analogy/metaphor dynamics should be learnt. That learning comes in
the form of understanding the properties and methods of recursion of a
dichotomy - in this particular case the dichotomy of black-hole/white-hole.
(generic qualities of:
Contractive wholeness - black hole - integrating (pull towards)
Expansive wholeness - white hole - differentiating (push away)
...and so dev/null is another label for contractive wholeness etc. but in its
competitive form ;-)
)
The recursion will give you a spectrum of categories usable as sources of
analogy/metaphor in describing whatever you like.
