Coincidance - Principia Discordia

largest California witch coven, they are Robin, Orpheus, Marion and
Bride—who correspond with man, lion, bull, eagle in one sense, but
correspond even more closely with Joyce's
or with I Ching's
active yang, passive yang, active yin and passive yin.
This interchangeability of foursomes makes an interesting isomorphism
with genetics. The DNA is bonded by the four acids A, C, G, T but the
genetic code is created when T drops out to be replaced by U, and the 64
"words" of the genetic code, as we have seen, is based on A, C, G, U, not on
A, C, G, T. Perhaps this explains why Joyce gives us two foursomes in the
complex and the X complex. At any rate, the male-femate
polarity of
does wash over into the X occasionally, and
Joyce calls them "heladies" or bisexuals in the Tristan-Isolde chapter, where
they become four seagulls spying on the lovemaking of Tristan and Isolde,
the three elders spying on Susanah in the Old Testament, and four censors
trying to decide if FW is obscene. (That is the chapter that begins with the
"three quarks" who later found their way into quantum mechanics via Dr.
Geil-Man.)
The following table shows the entire I Chiug, binary and genetic
isomorphism.
