D_ChaudFroid - Warm <> Cold.
One of the first perceptions of our life (child's food, bath water): the opposition between hot and cold. It is the feeling of comfort, but especially the one that guarantees and saves our lives (burns, heating...). It is often noted in the opposition between the heat of the house and the cold of a bad weather. It is rarely the outside heat that is perceived.

D_IciLabas - Here <> There
Makes an opposition or relation between what is here and what is far away in a more or less precise place. Does not apply between Heaven and Earth but only between two places on Earth. It is the distance between the two places that is most important.
Not to be confused with D_MoiMonde which opposes the author and the rest of the World without a definite location. This last dialectic is similar to this D_IntExt but here, the Inside is the author's person and the Outside the rest of the World.

D_IntExt - Inside <> Outside.
The opposition between the Inside and the Outside. These two notions are to be taken in the most general meaning. They are formed from the perception of two domains clearly separated by their nature. One is in the one that is Inside and the other is regarded as different and a little distant. The inside is often considered as warm and protective, in contrast with the outside. It is probably a primal diaclectic coming from our first childhood and even beyond.

D_LourdLeger - Opposition between hard, heavy versus light, airy.
The notions of heavy and light are intuitive here and the opposition is about a big difference. It is not the weight that is most important but the impressions of massiveness.

D_MoiMonde - I versus the World
A dialectic that measures the difference between the author, as he perceives himself, and the rest of the World that surrounds him. It is the one that most affirms the author's Ego. It is active every time the author perceives an action or a relation with what surrounds him, always with the active World and him passive.
