It is best for one to convey an understanding of schizophrenia in the same breath as one refutes the pervading demands that the disease be renamed. There are people who proclaim that the etymological "schism-mind" disease is too evocative of the rarer disorder of split personality.

These commentators are wrong, and there is a schism in the phrenia after all.

But let's entertain those folks for a moment, with a different name that might have been. Let's define **superimpophrenia** as **any disease characterized by a pervasive and worthless mind-state, when that state (the superimposition) can be exited in two opposing ways.**

Superimpophrenia exists, and its two exits are behaviorally and narratively different. Loss of superimposition can even be plainly observed in the face, under abrupt medication changes. We will talk about both the mentioned exits, but first observe that if superimpophrenia *is* schizophrenia, it proves "schizophrenia" to be an adequate name for all eternity.

Because all it *needs* to mean is: you abide by rules of two.

We'll discuss the superimposition, but we'll use the correct name schizophrenia from this point on. The first exit from the superimposition we will call the **"firm face"**. It is isolatable, as exemplified by taking melatonin and valproate, and it cannot stand the taste of soda. However, it is dependent on NMDA function, and without calcium or serine, those earlier medicines may crash it entirely instead.

The second exit from the superimposition we will call the **"infirm face"**. It is isolated with benzodiazepines or an enjoyable alcohol hangover, and though it vanishes when its feelings are hurt, it takes no issue with the taste of soda. It manifests by "originating" in the center-line between the cheeks, but it noticeably manifests in one cheek, or the other, at any given moment.

And we hope to graduate from terminology and theory into actionable claims by focusing on these cheeks - there is always one "singlecheek" and one "doublecheek" - and what happens when they switch places. That is, **the voices in the head, or equivalent coprolalia, will always occur simultaneously to a "cheekswapping" event.**

So thereby we get intriguing suppositions - stop the schizophrenic voices with whatever Botox or basic medicine can stop the cheekswapping - and a second refutation, for any commentator that might have followed up until now.

For if cheekswapping is the cause, the story of the voices is beside the fact that the two faces have unintegrated poorly. Instead it is that the aforesaid unintegration causes the "infirm" second of the two to flail off by itself.

Which means, superimposition may indeed be what puts you through hell, but it's the schism-product number two that makes you say so out loud.
