But I said (meant at least) that the dualisms you mentioned had 
dynamic/static connotation ... not S/O ... are we doomed to eternal 
misunderstandings?

Re. "Brahman/Atman" , this is from Wikipedia.  

    Some Upanishadic statements identify the Atman, the inner 
    essence of the human being, while Advaita philosophy 
    considers Brahman to be without form, qualities, or attributes, 

and here "Atman" sounds like a definition of subjectivity, while 
"Brahman sounds like a definition of "dynamic" in other words one 
from the SOM and one from the MOQ. Did I speak  about the "woolly" 
Indian philosophy

"Yin/Yang" do have dynamic/static connotations. Doesn't it?

"Nothingness/Being", is more familiar and has clear dynamic/static 
connotations.
