You'll have a _very_ hard time arguing against Semiotics and structuralism; not impossible of course - it's got the perfect little trinity thing going for it... and once you start seeing triangles that tie apparently disparate things together,.. its dang hard to break up a strong triangle. You could shift towards [1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deconstruction - that may have some appeal, although it could be said that it's simply a re-introduction of binary opposites again, and I suppose one could take a semoitic view of deconstructionalism... and you end up with layers of triangles -> binaries --> triangles --> binaries --> repeat tongue emoticon References Visible links 1. https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FDeconstruction&h=JAQEJpX2l
