Secondly, I am _agreeing_ with Butler. My statement pronounces the same principle that she seems to make in her statement. I am agreeing with her long sentence. She seems to be describing how a structure changes - a dialecticians response to structuralism, perhaps the first post-structural principle. Structures change when practice based on the ideas of the structure comes into conflict with objective reality . Practice is the test of theory, a la the Second Thesis on Feuerbach. Necessity is the mother of invention. Special Contradiction between structure and event is the way that the structure can change. Structures are not self-changing because they are formal or symbolic logics for which non-contradiction is the first principle. It is the dialectical logic (with first principle is contradiction , the relationship between theory and practice, practical-critical or revolutionary activity ( see First Thesis on Feuerbach) that changes the structure.
