I'm still not really buying the idea that standing = male and seated = female, given that there are standing females and seated males among the archetypes. I think there must be some other resonance or implication, but I'm not sure what.

Does this interpretation help resolve the paradox?
You mean "without potentiation," right, where you wrote "with potentiation"? I think it makes sense. However, I'm not sure that it resolves the paradox, in my mind at least, of why he's standing and she's sitting.
Here's a quote that seems relevant that I've never totally grasped:
Quote:92.18 ...the portion of the infant which may be articulated by the Matrix of the Mind is indeed unfed by experience and has the bias of reaching for this experience through free will just as intelligent energy in the kinetic phase, through free will, creates the Logos. These sub-sub-Logoi, then, or those portions of the mind/body/spirit complex which may be articulated by consideration of the Potentiators of Mind and Body, through free will, choose to make alterations in their experiential continuum. The results of these experiments in novelty are then recorded in the portion of the mind and body articulated by the Matrices thereof.
It says the Potentiators choose to make alterations in their experiential continuum. If the Matrix is the one reaching, isn't he the one choosing to make alterations? And why are the results recorded in the Matrices? Wouldn't the results be recorded in the Significators?
