BEADS AND NONBEADS
Let’s examine the adage:  “A bead is anything with a hole that can be strung.” The objects in question were made originally for “Bead Purposes” or “Nonbead Purposes”, to wit:       1.        Bead Purposes:  Objects made originally to perform “bead tasks”, e.g., Venetian Wound Beads.       2.        Nonbead Purposes:  Objects made to perform “nonbead tasks” e.g., pop tops. Type 1 objects are “true” beads that perform bead tasks throughout their lifetimes.  However, a few beads assume nonbead roles, thereby losing their “spirit”, while retaining their physical appearance.  Conversely, Type 2 objects can acquire bead spirit, while forever retaining their nonbead bodies.  Our classification system of ornaments and adornments must consider that an object made for nonbead purposes does not become a “bead-in-body”. It merely assumes bead functions.  Objects made for bead purposes do not cease to be beads-in-body, just because they achieve nonbead purposes.  Nonbead objects are naturalized as beads and are “beads-in-spirit” only.  We can “deport” these objects by reassigning them to their nonbead purposes.  The “original” bead objects that go astray relinquish their “bead spirit”, but remain “beads-in-body” and can also be reassigned.  The “true” bead is one of spirit and body.  The nonbead objects are aliens and must be differentiated, for they only have “spirit”.  Transformation and other reversible or nonreversible metamorphoses necessarily complicate the naturalization/alienation process, as well as membership in the “true” bead division.  A “true” bead is an object true in both body and spirit. Bullets:  The nonbead bullet can, with piercing or other operations, be given bead “spirit”.  It retains its nonbead body.  It is not a “true” bead.  Beads used at bullets retain their bodies (for our analytical purposes), but lose their bead “spirit”.   Such beads are no longer “true” beads because they have lost their “spirit”.  Both the bead and the bullet may be “repatriated”, the bead-in-body reassuming its spirit and the bead-in-spirit reassuming its body.  Thus, there are “true” beads vs. “deficient” beads, deficient in either body or spirit.  The pop top in the landfill is not any kind of bead.
