Cancelling is more difficult. I perceive the square as the house, the shelter, the strength of protection of what it on one side of the square walls from what is on the other (inside or outside).
So the counter is the symbol that breaks the walls, that makes the protection obsolete no matter how much faith one had in its strength.

Great Guba got a reaction from Amoran Kalamanira Kol in Recruitment Selection Stage 1I had a different idea, but it does not quite fit into Mur's definition of a counter-symbol.

Great Guba got a reaction from Amoran Kalamanira Kol in Recruitment Selection Stage 1Circle is countered by a cross. V-shape is countered by an inverted-V-shape.
I understand Mur's symbol as femininity and life, so the counter-symbol is masculinity and death.

Also because the original symbol is continuous, the counter-symbol is broken (consists of 2 separate parts)
