"Dichotomy".
Isn't that what a Mafia boss says when he's shot?
"Aw, dichotomy!" "White in the bwack hole."

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.
