[xmca] What does "separation" mean



I wanted to ask others to reflect on the meaning of "separation" as it seems
central to notions of opposition and chiasmic intertwining. John Shotter
states

"the very word "separation" as such is misleading: it suggests separation in
a spatial sense - we need to realize that the qualitative differences OF
SUCCESSIVE MOMENTS cannot be captured in spatial imagery:  to differ
qualitatively and to be distinct in space are two quite different notions.

Separation and differentiation as word meanings are common sense terms used
to describe developmental processes but I wonder if we are  sharing common
responses to these word meaninings?

Larry
