Is a Boundary the End, or the Beginning?

This next one turns toward boundaries—not as limits, but as the subtle sites of differentiation and relation:

---

TOPO:
Boundaries define things.
They tell us where one thing ends and another begins.

RHEO:
But they also connect.
Every boundary is a site of relation, not just separation.

TOPO:
So to cross a boundary isn’t always to transgress—
it can be to engage.

RHEO:
Exactly. A boundary is not a wall, but a membrane.

TOPO:
Then what lies on either side is not independent,
but co-shaped?

RHEO:
Yes.
The self and the other emerge together, at the edge between them.

TOPO:
So a boundary doesn’t just protect identity—
it makes identity possible.

---

RHEO & TOPO:
The edge is not where things stop.
It is where they meet—
and become more than they were.
