implied variation + ghost transitioning 

1) slave-related, then worker-related, use of the word "rule" written into stories (starting in the 1700's?), justifies & assists

 

2) previously existing (?) "reins" usage of the verb "to control,  viz.  "ctrl. reins, "ctrl. horses, "ctrl. carriage, "ctrl. luge, "ctrl. realm;

 

3) variation (in this case, a sort of expansion in range) is implied, :  "to ctrl."  as in "to orchestrate, ~grab reins, ~hold land claims, ~maintain political relationships, (eagle's claw on $ bill) persists,     yet alongside "to ctrl." as in "to ctrl. device, ~ctrl. machine, ~ctrl. slaves, with the meaning of the first newly capable of being shaded with the meaning of the second, as justified via the changes elsewhere (in 1 & 2 above)-- this is what i am labeling "ghost transitioning. When could this be seen as having clearly been established? I'll guess 1900's, early.

   from "Time's Pendulum" by Jo Ellen Barnett (introduction):

   "...that time has no structure, but only a character which can be universally applied to it. In comparison with the intricate and exotic world of matter, time looks quite colorless. What is there to say except that there is an enormous amount of it, that it is relative rather than absolute, and that, incomprehensible as it might seem, it appears that it not only had a beginning but that it may have an end as well?"

   What is there to say except that if there be an amount of something then it has 2 have a beginning and an end?

Solely based on the fact of the existence of an S & M leather shoppe on the corner of Burnside and 9th SW, Portland, Oregon, called "Spartacus", i would say this is a cliché.

Who else should have won? 

   Recent times  find the definition of the word "control" sliding in its own, newly wrong direction, throwing it and its users further off. "Control" is a slang word, now, for "mind control,"  slyly updated to correspond with our newly  updated forms of wage-slavery,  mind-enslavement, etc. Things endlessly condemned and dissected but never scheduled for redaction. Presumably as such redaction could peel back the surface to reveal who is "in"   in  in  "control"   control  control.  Sorry, did i just hear something? Anyways.

   The permission to graft this new hybrid of the meaning of the word "control" seems to be coming from a long-standing convention of smoothing together the "device-related" usage of it as a noun (entry 2, sense 3b, Webster's Collegiate 10th ed.) with the "slavery" variant of the "to exert a restraining or directing influence upon" usage as a verb (entry 1, sense 2a, ibid.) Now since the latter is an implied variation in usage, then I propose the term "implied variant" to describe such a thing.

  ernard-François Balssa, named his son after St Honoré whose day had just been celebrated. He had risen to the middle class, and married in 1797 the daughter of his Parisian superior, Anne-Charlotte-Laure Sallambier; she was 31 years his junior. The marriage was arranged by her father. Bernard-François had worked as a state prosecutor and Secretary to the King's Council in Paris. During the French Revolution, he was a member of the Commune, but was transferred to Tours in 1795 because of helping his former royalistic protectors. Bernard-François felt at home in the land of Rabelais, and started energetically to run the local hospital. In 1814 the family moved back to Paris.

Balzac spent the first four years of life in foster care, not so uncommon a practice in France even in the 20th century. His first years he lived in the village of Saint-Cyr, and returned to his parents at the age of four. At school Balzac was an ordinary pupil. He studied at the Collège de Vendôme and the Sorbonne, and then worked in law offices. In 1819, when his family moved for financial reasons to the small town of Villeparisis, Balzac announced that he wanted to be a writer. He returned to Paris and was installed in a shabby room at 9 rue Lediguiéres, near the Bibliothéque de l'Arsenal. A few years later he described the place in LA PEAU
