I think I introduced it into the discussion, and it is a bit vague (mea
maxima culpa). Day and night do not (even discounting the fuzziness of dawn
and dusk) 'intersect'. They touch. However, I do not need this bit of vague
terminology, being happy with the precise notion that Value is constituted
in the contradictory unity of production and exchange that is Commodity
circulation. How's that?
