What must be the case for a metaphoric ontology to exist?
Things must be mutually attuning and resonant. There’s a quivering, a distancing that enables space and sound, gaps and ruptures, and openings to the violence or the balm of meaning. Tremblings, stammerings: different ontologies.
The transformation (§1.1) is an immersion into this kind of a space. That is, talking about gaps, ruptures, tremblings, and stammerings provides a scent of what I mean by the transformation, a scent we’ll pursue as we sail between various Scyllas and Charybdises identified in this layer.
