Pataphor

Pataphor (noun):
1. An extended metaphor that creates its own context.
2. That which occurs when a lizard's tail has grown so long it breaks off and grows a new lizard.

Pataphorology is a science invented by P.A Lopez and derived from the science of pataphysics as described by Alfred Jarry.

As part of an upcoming series, I am manipulating the concept of pataphor to describe a division of assets. Specifically the Japanese gameshow aesthetic will represent a situational incarnation of zero-sum game theory. The original "lizard" so to speak, is rooted in personal mythologies of love, marriage and possesions.
