metonymy 

(Gr. metonymia "changing of name") is a trope in which the name of a thing is replaced by the name of an associated thing. One name is used instead of another.
the following types of metonymy are differentiated:
1. the abstract stands foe the concrete
2. the container is mentioned instead of the contents
3. the material instead of the thing made of it
4. the maker of the thing made
5. the instrument is put for the agent
6. a part is put for the whole (synecdoche)
he had several Picassos (paintings of Picasso). (metonymy)
we need some new faces (metonymy) around here.
his pen (metonymy) is rather sharp (about an author).
he sat just near the cold green eyes (metonymy).

metrognome

A very small, very well dressed straight man with impeccable timing.
That short punctual fellow over there is so well dressed that if he isn't gay he's definitely a metrognome.

metonomy 

An organizational collective characterized by a dualistic syndicalism/anarcho-syndicalism structure.

Over time the dualistic antipattern structure becomes the basis for a cryptocurrency.

After even more time the cryptocurrency becomes a pure blockchain.

Anarcho-nihilism.
Metonomy is an instance of a workers' collective creating a blockchain by the very virtue of its verificationistic structure.

This is in contra-momentum to volitionistic Marxism.
