"Dynamic"<=>"Static"

in our industry for decades denotes

    static - compile time event     dynamic - run-time event

Some of us equate:

    ` templates, or generics
    ` method name overloading
as major static forms of polymorphism

The usual swap object cum its method implementations during run-time most in OO consider as a major form of dynamic polymorphism.

RCM is wrong to fetishize dynamic polymorphism as especially OO while according to his sterile, arteriosclerotic world view he avoids, downplays that all object/class phenomena result from the interaction and collaboration of objects/classes in relationship networks.

Indeed these

    ` objects/classes are the core/key granule of abstraction, and
    ` objects/classes collaborate in networks of relationships and
    ` as a result manifest or make profound abstraction, polymorphism,
      identity, encapsulation, state, [metamorphism, aspects]
