I have this solar system fetish that I need to get out of my way before I
can say something
more productive, but - if A and B are (hypothetically) fixed diametric
points of a circle, on the periphery
of which C is a moving point, the relationship of C with respect to A and B
changes in an
oscillatory manner. In such a case, computational time and not space is what
defines the
syntactic juxtaposition. In such a universe, it is impossible for C to be
near both A and B,
relatively, unless it is one of them.
