Life under this opposition proceeds by interruption. An expansion is under way and someone else abruptly changes the terms: a partner leaves, a backer withdraws, a company is sold over the native's head, a country changes its rules. The native regards themselves as the steady party in a world of unreliable people. In fact they choose unreliable people with some consistency, and they are noticeably restless in the periods when nothing is being overturned. The disruption is not visited on them so much as recruited.
The theme shows most clearly in association. Marriages, partnerships and political allegiances under this contact are entered warmly and revised without warning, sometimes by the native and sometimes by the other party, and it is often impossible afterwards to say which. Friends describe the native as broad-minded, which is accurate, and as difficult to pin down, which is also accurate. Sudden foreign moves are common, as are convictions adopted at speed and defended against the family.
Holding both ends means keeping an enterprise large enough to matter and loose enough to survive being rearranged. Natives who do this become unusually good in unstable conditions: new industries, disaster work, anything where the plan must be rewritten weekly without losing its purpose. Those who do not, spend their fifties recounting a series of ruptures as though weather had done it. The evidence that it was not weather is the pattern, and the pattern is what the opposition is asking them to notice.
