ENANTIODROMIA

RWEI-019 // Released December 21, 2023

ENANTIODROMIA (/əˌnan(t)ēəˈdrōmēə/): the tendency of things to change into their opposites, especially as a supposed governing principle of natural cycles and of psychological development. Similar to the principle of equilibrium in the natural world, in that any extreme is opposed by the system in order to restore balance.

There is a constant drift in all things, a tendency for polarities to switch — that which is solid melts into air, and over time the intangible solidifies into matter. This drift is everywhere and exists at all scales, from the cosmic to the microscopic. In most things, it isn't just a curiosity: it's essential for existence. The drift is the stability.

A giant star slowly drifts into becoming a black hole. Life becomes death and death becomes life in a relentless cycle. We drift from shining brightly and taking no shit to joining the Grey Forces if they cut us a big enough cheque.

ENANTIODROMIA sits in the midst of these drifts, watching them go by.
