Examples

“The binarity of even an obvious pair of opposites like⟳ male:female rests on a restricted domain that excludes hermaphrodites, beings with no sex organs (for whatever reason⟳) and so on. While binarity is undoubtedly an essential feature of oppositeness, it is not, on its own⟳, sufficient. There are many situations where a domain is construed with only two members, but oppositeness seems to be absent.”
