Towards Ideality Through Resolving Contradictions

The camshaft is an important component of an internal combustion engine. The function of the camshaft is to open and close the engine intake and exhaust valves at the right time, with the exact stroke and in a precisely defined sequence. The Ideal Camshaft in terms of contradiction, may look like this: the camshaft should exist to ensure the precise opening and closing of the valves, AND it should not exist to improve the controllability of the valves and simplify the engine mechanics. Below is an impressive example of resolving this contradiction with getting both functions without the camshaft --
