If we observe the world around us carefully, we can identify recurring patterns in every fundamental form of existence. By “fundamental existence,” I refer to entities such as “a man” or “a woman”—not the family unit they form, as that is a functional structure rather than a fundamental existence. From time to space, from living to non-living, from energy to matter—every fundamental entity exists in a paired contrast. These pairs always maintain a balance of opposites, like black and white, good and bad, right and wrong, or day and night.

Consider the pairing of day and night: at the end of the day, night seamlessly takes over, and at the end of the night, daylight emerges once more. Despite their stark differences, together they form the complete unit of 24 hours. This unit, in turn, becomes the building block for weeks, months, and years. Without the contrasting presence of day and night, a 24-hour cycle would not function as a cohesive whole.

Similarly, a man and a woman in a family form a unit that contributes to the larger structure of human society. Such units are created when contrasting pairs coexist in a state of moderate harmony. Within each pair, both components are equally significant in their own ways. However, when fundamental existences successfully form functional units, one element from each unit often takes the lead in establishing connections with another similar unit. For example, when two 24-hour cycles align, it is either the day (daylight) or the night that takes precedence in linking them.

In every fundamental pair—whether male and female or day and night—one component assumes priority over the other depending on utility or necessity at any given moment. This contrast-based pairing not only ensures the formation of functional units but also enables the expansion of larger structures. The very nature of contrast within fundamental existences introduces an inherent asymmetry or inequality, while the act of pairing establishes symmetry and balance. At the core of this paradox lies the interplay between symmetry and asymmetry.

Just as an exact equal division of day and night within a 24-hour period is impossible, no fundamental pair can ever achieve absolute equality at any given moment. There will always be an imbalance between the two opposites. In fact, this imbalance facilitates bonding—both between individual fundamental entities and the larger functional units they compose. Within each pair, one component always assumes dominance over the other based on necessity or contextual utility. Every larger functional structure is built upon the foundation of dual fundamental components, where each existence has its opposite counterpart. However, at any given moment, only one element within a pair takes the lead—whether positive or negative—allowing for the formation of a chain structure. Without this inherent asymmetry within fundamental pairs, bonding would not occur, and larger, more complex systems could not exist.
