The automobile ended the age of the horse and
buggy, but these returned with new significance
and experience as the movie “Western.” The
tetrad—the four laws considered simultaneously,
as a cluster‚Äö is an instrument of revealing and
predicting the dynamics of situations and
innovations. Nevertheless the usual “archetypal”
explanations are inadequate because they regard
the archetype as a figure minus a ground. . . . Both
the retrieval and reversal aspects of the tetrad
involve metamorphosis . . .
Marshall McLuhan and Eric McLuhan, Laws of
Media: The New Science , (Toronto, 1988), p. 105.
