Taking full responsibility for this (perhaps convuluted) post, IMHO it is Michael (mkirkpatrick) and MJA who most inspired it - though they certainly bear no burden of accountability for it.

The simplicity of the apparent titular contradictions that (after some - predominantly right brained - consideration) are not so contradictory after all - antonym as synonym, contradiction as confirmation, simultanaeity as continuity, instanaeity as continuum, here & now as there & then, absolute as inabsolute (and conversely), visited me as considerations that can be joined - at least for some occasions - with an equals (=) sign.

My intuition is stimulated as a string of firecrackers on these crackling notes and any complementary inspirations that may be comparable. I'd like to see more - ideas, opinions, proclamations and/or interrogatives - added to (perhaps - mkirkly - sprinkled upon) this incompletely intitiated ideation.

In the name of abbreviation, may I suggest that this - perhaps ironic if not enigmatic - consideration en toto be referred to as 'oat' ('tao' backwards), for future references, should there be any...

Post Script:
Please allow that Truly Yours does not think that this proposed (thither & skelter?) pattern includes issues of human morality; as compared to those of existentiality.


(George Berkeley, 1710) ... lay the beginning in a distinct explication of what is meant by thing, reality, existence: for in vain shall we dispute concerning the real existence of things, or pretend to any knowledge thereof, so long as we have not fixed the meaning of those words.

"All things come out of the one and the one out of all things." - Heraclitus
"Reality is an illusion - albeit a persistent one." - Einstein
"Particles give me a headache." - Ibid
