SIMPLY, LIMINALITY IS A PHASE 
                          (OR  STAGE)

BETWEEN TWO STATES,
                          (OR PHASES)

THOUGH PERSONALLY, SAID PHASE
                          (OR  STAGE)

PROBABLY NOT ITSELF A STAGE,
                          (OR PHASES)

BECAUSE ELSE IT WOULD'VE JUST BE A
SEPERATE PHASE,
                          (OR  STAGE)

NOT SOME VAUGE IN-BETWEEN STAGE.
                          (OR PHASES)

AN ANTHROPOLOGIC  TERM USED PRETAINING
TO RITES OF PASSAGES. IF THEY'RE RITED
IN THE MIDDLE OF PASSAGES,THEN THEY'RE
NOT REALLY PASSED OR AGED. (URGH..)

IT MIGHT BE TRIVIAL  IF SAID RITES ARE
ONLY A MERE MESSUREABLE AMOUNT OF TIME
BUT IT'S OBVIOUS  TO  BE  OF MUCH MORE
CONCERN              IF SAID RITES ARE
SUCH  AN  UNMESSUREABLE AMOUNT OF TIME

SINCE, LIMINALITY EXPANDED TO LIKE....
EVERTHING MAN....
I MEAN ITS JUST AN ANTHROPOLOGY JARGON
MEANING  "INTERMEDIATE"  BUT  I  GUESS
THAT WORD ISN'T AS COOL. (IT ISN'T)

IT DOES HAVE SOME 'JE NE SAIS QUOI' TO
IT.      LIKE IT CONCERN THE OBJECT OF
CHANGE MORE THAN THE CHANGE ITSELF.  I
THINK.

MAYBE?                      MAYBE NOT?

AS ABOVE SAID,       A LIMINALITY MUST
RESOLVE INTO NOT LIMINALITY. IS TO SAY
IT CANNOT LAST  MORE THAN  IT NEEDS TO
AND NEEDS TO HURRY ALONG TO SOME STAGE
(         OR            PHASE        )
LIKE AN AUTOMATA  CANNOT  JUST STOP AT
ANY OF THOSE FUNNY ARROWS.(IN PRACTICE
SYSTEMS BROKE ALL THE TIME,   BUT THAT
WOULDN'T  REALLY BE   LIMINALITY IS IT
THAT WOULD JUST BE BROKEN      STATE.)
                   BROKEN      STAGE.)
                   BROKEN      PHASE.)

        EXPECT   MANY   OCCUPANTS

YET     NONE     ARE      PRESENT

OTHER THEN A FEW FIRST VIRAL ONES
BEING A            "TRANSITIONAL"
