It's very clear that these are all performative and that constructs are not elemental but consequential - but of language or of the real is not for me to say. But to say that this is a semantic difference is missing the essential within my position vis-a-vis yours that is:

By othering the external and engaging in performative acts e.g.: devising an ethical code of conduct toward others - one exerts violence in the respect of othering that which is not the self.

Because I have begun to suppose that ethical systems that account for an other are failures - "do unto others" is a contextual statement of violence- the violence of creating a separation. "as you would have done to you." is a formative statement of the evolution of the sinister 'self' - to which all things are the other.
