    From Julio Di Egidio@21:1/5 to All on Thu Feb 20 12:27:13 2025
    Think instead of seed and plant. Sure, seeds produce plants, which in
    turn produce seeds, but... think instead of *a plant and its own seed*,
    i.e. the seed that produced it: "the seed is the plant and the plant is
    the seed, but the seed comes before the plant".

    (BTW, talking of inversions...)

    Enjoy,

    -Julio
