Sacrifice and the Sacrament

In order to account for the last stages of harmonization, you need culture. The sacred is a displacement or estrangement of the community's violence. Sacrifice is the means by which the relationship with the sacred is managed. It institutionalizes the first spontaneous discovery of the single victim mechanism. In many archaic rituals, if one of the kids doesn't come back, they are killed through whatever all deals may be organized for them.
