Yip, noticed that. My proposals "Affinity", "Gluon" pointed in that directi=
on=20
and "Kommutator", or at least "Commutator", also has a scientific backgroun=
d.=20

Affinity is my favorite as it also means similarity, which I connect to=20
transformations, electron affinity "transforms" atoms to molecules=20
and "navigates" electrons (in some sense).
Gluons, the quasi particles representing the strong interaction, do the sam=
e=20
one level downwards. They drive quarks to become bosons, IIRC. The strong=20
interaction is the one with the highest energy, the most powerful. And that=
's=20
what's the XPath/XSLT/XQuery thingie is about: elementary but powerful.

Just my two cents,
Stefan
