Being two opposite things at the same time, subject and object, wave and particle, ought to be impossible, but this is so only according to a certain logic, say that of the excluded middle, or were the distinct sides are given on the same plane. If these sides are no independent alternatives but facets of the one complex higher-dimensional object which can never appear in the same conceptual plane then the rules no longer apply. The difference in the mode of thought required cannot be overestimated, however. This is not analogy but direct vision.
