02 Second Order/Presence Conditions/Carrier Polarity
Carrier Polarity
Carrier polarity names the produced read where structural carrier terms form paired directions within one relation. Where polarity carries opposed direction and structural carriers transmit relational roles into compounds, carrier polarity names the condition through which carrier terms read as paired — in/out, with/without, visible/invisible, and/but each naming a relational direction and its paired opposite within one relation. Carrier polarity does not name conflict; it names direction held readable through pairing.

Read
Carrier polarity becomes recognisable where paired carrier terms preserve relation across difference — where the pairing names direction without collapsing the distinction between the two carriers.
