So patent is the pending of Damocles' Razor on our modern incre-mentalities that we would scarcely dare to think of it this way without a little bit of prodding, but it is possible to treat this functional fractionation process as a case of transmuting a 2-adic relation f c X x Y into a 3-adic relation L c X x M x Y.
