paradox

A meta-state which has a counter-formalistic (cyclically-chronistic) beginning and a counter-formalistic end.

Synchrony.

Creates an object, event, or experience which has a discrete beginning and discrete end in time.

A paradox appears as an experience, event, or object. We usually call an observably paradox-created object a "coincidence."

Paradoxes and objects are mutually inclusive.

All paradoxes are objects and all objects (events & experiences) are paradoxes.
