ORIFICATION
or
"this is not it"
Ears, nose[1], mouth, anus, vagina/jungle/fee-fee/punani,[2] and much less inventive in my humble opinion, the penis/membrum virile/lunch box/schwanzstucker,[3] and last but not least the nipples are the major human orifices. (They forgot the eyes, whoever they are.) We try to christen a method of production, process of fabrication, under the umbrella-term of "Orification" xor "Orificing". For our Henry Moorish sculptural approach, see "Henry Moorish Dreamstone 1" (image 2) from the series "A rough day at the orifice" is one such possible outcome. Or our "booga" aka "nose-crotte" drawings (image 3).
The nipple[4], a definition of an archetypal orifice: by appearance, a nipple (also called teat in animals) in mammals, which includes us homo sapiens times two, who are a sub-group of primates, is a small projection of skin containing the outlets for 15–20 lactiferous ducts arranged cylindrically around the tip.

The nozzle:
Frequently, the goal of a nozzle is to increase (or decrease) the kinetic energy of the flowing medium at the expense of its pressure and internal energy.[5]
A heavy case:
The black hole is not a hole, it's an orifice. The defining feature of a black hole is the appearance of an event horizon is a boundary in timespace[6] [sic] through which matter and light can pass only inward towards the mass of the black hole. Nothing, not even time or light, can escape from inside the event horizon. The event horizon is referred to as such because if an event occurs within the boundary, information from that event cannot reach an outside observer, making it impossible to determine whether such an event even occurred.
"A black hole has no hair."[7] The obscene no-hair theorem.
Hans J. Eysenck, writes: "A young Californian research assistant called Jacob Bekenstein suggested, in a series of publications, just that: the surface area of a black hole was, indeed, a measure of entropy, and black holes do have Temperature related their surface area. Furious, (Stephen) Hawking attacked Bekenstein's interpretation of the equation Hawking had originally published. Later, Hawking paid a visit to Moscow and learned about the work of Yakov Zel'dovich on the way black holes interact with light. He became convinced that black holes must indeed emit radiation, and did have temperatures! He completely changed course, and advocated what earlier he had condemned, and now 'Hawking radiation' is considered one of the great achievements of the pas 50 years of physics, combining as it does general relativity and quantum mechanics in one package. Poor Bekenstein, the original discoverer, is forgotten.[8]
Almost!
IYI[9]
Fun fact: In good, old astrophysics, spaghettification (sometimes referred to as the noodle effect) is the vertical stretching and horizontal compression of objects into long thin shapes (rather like the already mentioned spaghetti) in a very strong, non homogeneous gravitational field. Bye the bye take a butcher's here.
A kind of tension/suspension/pull:
The sculptor Henry Spencer Moore, despite being an unrelenting giant of the field and highly intuitive genius re-inventor of the hole, left us a rather cringeworthy description of the same:
"The first hole made through a piece of stone is a revelation. The hole connects one side to the other, making it immediately more three-dimensional. A hole can itself have as much shape-meaning as a solid mass." (The Listener, 1937) Let us forgive him and blame it on the thick journalist instead.
The hole an IYI-definition: For instance, a circle is not a disk because the circle has a hole through it while the disk is solid, and the ordinary sphere is not a circle because the sphere encloses a two-dimensional hole while the circle encloses a one-dimensional hole. Because a hole is immaterial, it is not immediately obvious how to define one or distinguish it from others. People tend to refer to them as tangible and countable objects, when in fact they are the absence of something in another object. Holes have also been described as ontological parasites because they can only exist as aspects of another object.

Slavoj Žižek (again! What's going on with that guy?): In my shallow reflection on The Sublime Object of Ideology. What it means is that every idea or ideology has a central self-reference or feedback-loop, there hulks an infinite self-regression, or insufferable tautology[ 10] … there is nothing at the center. The master-signifier is an empty space without any content, yet is the node of, and organizes any discursive network through that absence.
This negation of an object produces a new third object which in its own value factors in what it negates. This mysterious third value of an object which it has because it isn't those things is the work of ideology.
Negative space:

The ideogram 間 (pronounced "ma" Japanese or " jiān " in Mandarin) is a gap through which something shines. In this case it's literally the sun which shines through a slit in between the gates. (originally it was the more intimate moonlit gates[11]). The concept of a pregnant void has been around for ages, specifically describes both time and space through a notion of interval. This way of thinking of negative space is therefore more abstract than one that prefers concrete or tangible things. It is a great, but endless, unendangered blah-blah-blah-concept (no offense) with many faces and layers. It is reflected upon in various ways through concepts such as mu≈ nothingness; wu ≈ nothingness; wu (again? Yes!) ≈ emptiness or Śūnyatā s.a. (Sanskrit: शून्यता). This is a recurring theme in Eastern philosophies and a very ambiguous term, which is simultaneously mysti-romanticised, and usually misunderstood.[12] It is not something which is gloom-ridden or undesirable; on the contrary, it is a much-coveted state of mind which diligent (ambitious yet pietous) Hindus, Buddhists, and Taoists strive to attain through various rigorous techniques such as meditation, prayer, fasting, pilgrimage, physical exercise, or a mix of the above. Even though its long-term psychological benefits are questionable, representing/constituting a self-state where knowing, feeling, and awareness get lost in themselves. s.a. The soteriological sense of "blown out, extinguished" self-states of liberation called Nirvana (Sanskrit : निर्वाण) deserves more of our sensitive yet critical and undivided attention. TBEOL
IYI: Formulated in Japan ma was well deemed imperative in human relationships for maintaining distance. 間抜け,まぬけ, manuke (nu/抜 means to pilfer), missing or lacking distance, being supremely clueless, being a total loser, elegantly circumventing the term "dunce" also commonly known as idiot.
Slavoj Žižek wrote in his oeuvre majeure (The Sublime Object of Ideology)[13] ≈ Desire is negative because it is a lack of something (which causes a pull, motion towards an object), because it is a gap in something (which makes it invincible, obstacles pass through it), and because it is something anti-luminous (all attempts to peer, to enlighten/symbolize another is doomed to fail, only leaving us with a subject's own projection).
Don't miss out on Phantusee as a dissociative self-defense.

[2] For a completer list please refer to Jason Rhoades. Hauser & Wirth: "Jason Rhoades found a total of 1724 expressions used in English for the female genitals, a figure that takes us to the half-way point of the more fortunate half of the century of Enlightenment, the year when Immanuel Kant was born." We met him (Jason Rhoades) in the flesh while he was putting up the Kant (German [ˈkənt]) show (actual title: "My Madinah. In pursuit of my ermitage... ") at the Schaulager of H&W, endlessly, and I remember him gluing towels with the biggest glue gun of the planet earth and eating Pizza with some heroin addict/noble junkie/user aka space cadet. (Name dropping is so out of fashion, King Charles recently told me.) and the expression "cock wash" staid with me until now. He passed away asudden in 2006 at the tender age of 41 from a plethora of drugs and a heart condition. Drugs are bad.

[5] Just out of pure curiosity: What the dickens is energy, as it does not exist on its own? and while we are at it: What the deuce is time (see asymmetry)? Sam Vaknin has all the good answers. TBEOL Could you please repeat the question?
