Yes, Chazwin, there *is* that... and, I have also found *1:1 correspondence*within *cultural systems boundedness* as it relates to Levi-S's treatment of *imagery created, perceived realities, the inherent symbolism, together with the symptomatic aspects of the continued dialogue* that ensues from those interpretations. When this is done within the adopted methodology, it can assure for *a comprehensive psycho-somatic mapping* of the culture's * rationalities, the connections to media & environment, methods used in specific circumstances, and the various populations' (being studied) teleological referencing, respectively. *All of this kind of takes me back to a book form the 70's entitled "Pig, Wars, & Witches." *Moreover*, *IF* the aforementioned *mythological concerns* are treated as attending cultural attributes in which essential needs are met, that inherent "binary code" which Levi-S was so able to convey, can then be viewed as indicative of universal dynamics, interposed to create a kind of "reciprocal remediation repertoire," or reflexive, *compensatory capacities* within the cultural dialogue. Mythology in general is then seen a cultural response (or device) employed to manage those inherent tensions that all connections/relationships/attributes create... complexities aside, the subsequent mapping of a more reliable "impact matrix" is more easily derived. Of course, *after* these "connections" *become* "apparent," it all then seems rather prima facie in its "scope & applicability." Ah, the sweet underpinnings of the contextual backdrop... but *archetypal patterns are like that:* they *forever* remind us of the *common threads* that run through our humanity.
