while both buildings and boats are built, only one is given the status of structure.

I haven't heard that before; what I did hear every once in a while are reports of structural damage to both buildings and boats. You got any examples? Isn't it called structuring foundations and hulls?

"the broken partial"...Should take itself down to Gary Glue's and get itself glued back up into a reasonable approximation of its prior shape!

The broken partial (form) represents the opportunity to grow out of; within, and in response to the loss of the unbroken whole (flow). Flow doesn't represent the prior shape of form; but that which shapes form (temporary growth) through flow (ongoing loss).

Being partial represents the expression within whole; "gluing together" is being suggested to repress expressions.
