Bridging or Complementary concepts are an attempt to compensate for a languages bias towards dualism. Living systems exhibit complimentarily and self similarity, language systems exhibit duality and opposition.
An example is a concept of "Everything Being Anything" another the "All in All"
These are philosophical attempts to compensate for an essential inclusive connection that can be lost/obscured by language systems built on binary foundations, they remind us that the wholeness is not separate from the part...that the excluded middle is a problem with language, not with us.
Where are they, are there any? If not why not?
Where are they, are there any? If not why not?
It could be worth exploring if such concepts were central to certain theoretical stances, cultures etc , but perhaps got lost /discarded /excluded in certain disputes, perhaps between those concerned with inclusivity, the inherent and emergent and those concerned with language and construction.
