    Keith, I used ' pad ' in the meaning of filling up, in the case thus of violence, it could mean conflict, or dispute, or debate, or discussion,....whatever. Where you get thus ' violence ' in all it meanings possible....opposite, contrast, etc....where you get dichotomious sides, whatever the meaning of those sides, you get ' violence
    '. It is more a kind of metaphor_ it is a kind of dichotomious- derived metaphor. Is this clearer !?
