DUALISMS AND TRILOGIES
The becoming-memory-duration (B-M-D) trilogy emerges from the becoming-duration duality, augmented by memory as an intermediary element situated between becoming and duration.
Becoming is the continuous and sequential occurrence of changes or phenomena. Duration is the interval between a beginning and an end within this becoming—the span between the "before" and the "after."
Memory is the brain's capacity to encode, store, and retrieve information, experiences, and feelings from the past. Through memory, we arrange phenomena into a sequence. Were we devoid of memory, we would exist in an eternal present.
All units and measures of time are recorded within memory, thereby serving as a link between becoming and duration.
Other dualisms include: light (wave-particle), the human being (body-soul or mind), and—in the field of computing—hardware and software. Other trilogies include: the atom (proton-neutron-electron); in religion, God (Father-Son-Holy Spirit); the spatial system (Sun-planet-satellites); the mind (conscious-subconscious-unconscious); and the family (father-mother-children).
