Throughout all of the images there is the pattern of organic life. The child inside the brain of the man who is smoking the essence of butterflies which to me is an allusion to DMT. The reason I believe it provides that allusion because there are endegenous stores of DMT in our brain for which we have no reason; some have theorized its the flash between your life or that it is associated with sleep. No one really knows and those who do usually have ulterior motives. Perhaps the child is a metaphor for the sense of Self. I also see this picture as a blend of the mechanistic sciences that Newton and to a lesser degree Descartes had a hand in to the more modern approaches in quantum physics which does not disregard Newton’s accomplishments but you could say improved them. Then there are the male and female citizens chasing after a UFO (Unidentified Flying Object). Here we see a male and female most likely outside their teenage years holding hands and trying to communicate with this flying object; they presume it is innocent. Perhaps they both had a positive abduction experience and are wanting to thank them. The third one is a ladybug on a surrealist landmark of a fork and spoon intertwined. This intertwining only happens once and the ladybug is located on the spoon. It is done in a very surrealistic form which seems like an influence from Salvador Dali.

The morphology for the man breaks down into the substance he is smoking; for without the butterfly essence there would be no power for the child inside. It is vital to its nutrition. For the male and female citizens following the UFO the morphology must be the organic whole that we can see. We could assume that this UFO is operated by an extraterrestrial which is what the author may have intended but to stick with the pattern it is organic life. The fork and spoon landmark morphology comes down to the tiny lady bug despite the colossal difference in size it still is the only thing that contains organic life. Another theme I’ve been noticing is it is a very unique to Earth to have organic life though Drake’s equation says we are not the only organic beings in existence but for now I’ll stick with what the world knows.

For the man smoking I would say the man is the root since the child is self-contained within him and that the pipe with its butterfly essence is the affix. For the male and female who are chasing the UFO it is the UFO which is the root because without the UFO what would the male and female be chasing? This makes them the affix. For the fork and spoon landmark it is the fork and spoon intertwined as the root and the ladybug as an affix.

Adopting a derivational mode could completely change the root and affixes for all of the images. For example if we changed the meaning of what is the root opposite of the standard then in the man smoking image it would be the butterfly essence as the root. In an inflective sense it could alter it slightly for examples adding an s to ladybug would make multiple ladybugs there is no way of knowing if it would just be like 2 more or over 9000. Say it is over 9000, we would have to change the root in an almost derivational sense.

I was unable to find any allophones  because of how distinct each of my images were.
