Dialectics is founded on the ordering principle. And the ordering principle is the paradigm behind appearances. In Platonic ontology, Father and Son are dialectic particulars present in the phenomenal realm of senses, while the principle is the ontological universal itself – the archetype and the 'true real' presence that unites the appearances and makes the knowledge of them possible. The universal, that is a Conditio Sine qua Non of the Being, is the Mother – the 'Matrix' of a thing. In Christian doctrine, this classic Greek ontological/epistemological framework appears as the concept of The Holly Trinity. Of course, in the patriarchal social system, the ancient notion of 'the Matrix' is stripped of its gender connotations by renaming it into 'The Form' or 'Holly Spirit'. In our time, it appears only as a movie title.
