Summary/Abstract: In this chapter the complementary coalescence of the lattice repeatedly under discussion enjoys more formal qualification than it has been endowed with thus far. Such qualification comes by way of ‘logical multiplication’ and ‘addition’ of the lattice’s terms according to a nonlinear, context dependent, complementary featured alteration of customary bivalent principles. This brings about interplay between ambiguity and complementarity to highlight semiotic uncertainty, thus illustrating the perils of holding dear to bivalent thinking. Wheeler’s variation of 20 Questions once again enters the mix, affording a sense of the incompleteness and/or inconsistency of our coming and going, our thinking, and our knowing – suggested by the lattice, that stretches upward and downward without end. Finally, a three-way Yin-Yang sort of image gives a sense of our self-perpetuating living within our culture world.
