Coincidance - Principia Discordia

238 COINCIDANCE
In terms of the Hidden Variable theory, this can be decoded or translated as
Joyce's stands in well for the particle aspect, since it means "mountain"
(in Chinese) among other things. Similarly, is a good wave function, since
it is associated with the river, and is coincidentally used in many mathematical
wave equations. The impossibility of separating particle and wave
aspects (Bohr's Principle of Complimentarity) is entirely isomorphic to
Joyce's mingling of the male and female , which we have already
noted. The isomorphism of this quantum principle with I Ching was
recognized by Bohr when he took the Taoist yinyang symbol for his Coat
of Arms when knighted by the Danish court.
Similarly, if Joyce's and (active and passive yang) are the Archangel
Michael and Satan on the cosmic level, and two feuding brothers, Shem and
Shaun, on the local Dublin level, it makes sense for them to be positive and
negative particles on the quantum level. It is almost too neat that quantum
mechanics includes the Aristotelian excluded middle, Joyce's as a neutral
particle.
The wave aspect of matter ( ) is a bit more complicated. According to the
Schrodinger equations, the state vector of a quantum wave always has a
minimum of two values, rather like Joyce's and . These only "collapse"
