Hi Mary,

I love the opposite-from-non-x , such as opposite-from-non-justice or 
opposite-from-non-copper, or opposite-from-non-zebra, or even 
opposite-from-non-father, as a representation of a pattern.  So many 
attributes of 'thingness' seem to disappear with its use.  Maybe it may 
be useful as a model.
