At, I understand you mean that as commutation starts, some objects within
the boundaries of an organism actually are shared by a group (community).
Consequently, the individual boundaries of an organism cease to be well
defined and it is more accurate to talk about the community boundaries.

Humanity is actualized both in absolute individuality (each person's
contribution to humanity cannot be substituted) and absolute community
(there is not humanity without community).

The conciliation of this apparent contradiction is what I understand you
call commutation. Do you agree?
