on-off – chicken-egg

The on/off switch.  The transistor.  The basis of binary code.  What if it’s all wrong?  What if the physical universe functions on a ternary system and we simply haven’t noticed the third element?  What if it’s “on/off/non-existent”?  “Off” isn’t really off but an unrealized “on” – a potentiality.  Or what if “on” and “off” sit on the same side of the polarity and “non-existent” on the other?  Just as chicken and egg isn’t an either/or proposition, but two states of the same entity.  The true polarity in the chicken/egg scenario is “smashed.”
