List,
There is a fusion and crystalization of each of a mated pair such that they
become the environmental standard by which the future generation must aspire
toward; that is, they are perfected as individuals, purified through trial
by fire...they become more decisive, more sure of themselves, more
completely themselves (this in an objective sense...or rather they become
like objects with distinct characteristics). Though, they may differentiate
certain duties which cause dissonance into specific roles and perform these
roles in a codependent manner through denial of the other's function.
I say this because: The individual who acts out these paradoxical roles
within a single entity takes on the appearance of a court jester or
clown...it seems funny to compartmentalized individuals that the role of
both male and female (for example) can be performed by one person--though
this is the natural state of the child, the fool, and the ideal. Because of
this constant admixture of seeming "opposites", the individual who "dances
with himself" must remain in a state of flux...continually developing. The
chances that the individual will continue to develop is 100%, it cannot do
otherwise (except in a perfect world). That is, the individual survives as
"potential" (influencing other's growth and replicating through diffusion,
enmeshment, and paradoxical individuation)...survives until "destroyed" by
becoming negated through a denied, projected, and crystalized "other", a
mate. At this time, the child assumes the developmental role, the parents
are crystalized.
While genetics describes the first case (chance recombination, competition,
and mutation), memetics describes the second case (ordered recombination,
cooperation, and specialization).
