Yes, you're right. My analogy was *Arctic* and *Ant-arctic*. We are
playing again with the boolean operators: AND, OR, NON.
My miss-use is partly due to my lack of a classical education - no latin,
no greek.

That is good to mention, since a lot of people seem to forget that we live
in 3D, not 2D (and *D* means *dimension*, not *day*). And travelling,
means 4D too.
Good travelling, don't forget down-under, or up-upper, the West and
non-west is everywhere (that is a matter of travelling long enough),
