Just to clarify,

When I said that objects should be able to `resonate to an absolute degree` I am simply saying that I would like two objects to essentially be thought of as the same object, ie with no relative differences, while maintaining some very small degree of detachment allowing the union to be divided later if desired. Think of it as two or more pointers pointing to the same variable, or an instance of a type with more than one handle. But at the same time, each handle has its own local `self` which may become involved in the union to varying degrees.

Maybe a better word for metamorphose is `shapeshift`, ie one object changes its properties and so on to match those of another, like a mirror.

The social lies part is valid. Everybody puts on a social persona that covers their inner self. There are tremendous dishonesties involved in most social expression since the persona is involved. I am merely making use of metaphors and analogies by using this to relate to software issues.
