THE TWIN TRANSPARENCIES

DIAMOND and GLASS are grouped as the Twin Transparencies.

Both are clear.
Neither is simple.

DIAMOND is transparency under pressure: hard, brilliant, compressed, and verdict-like.

GLASS is transparency under passage: fragile, revealing, refracting, and dangerous precisely because light can move through it.

They are not opposites.

They are the same demand for visibility under different material laws.
