Discussed the deep meaning of the football metaphor in Derrick's' The Zone 'and pointed out that the novel explores American culture and community composition through football. Boxle believes that the novel uses rugby as a metaphor for American culture and military hegemony, while other scholars view rugby as a metaphor for war and criticize the war mentality of American society. Derrillo chose rugby as an image, delving deep into American society, examining the simplification principles under his paranoid mentality, and seeking new ways to depict American identity. In the novel, rugby has a dual attribute. On the one hand, it serves as a system synthesis to reveal the limitations of ignoring emotional connections and smoothing out differences. On the other hand, it explores the possibility of recognizing diversity through the game as a community. Deliro highlighted the cyclical transformation relationship between the system and the game, which involves domain resolution and domain reconstruction, and discovered the power of self reflection and reconstruction in the crisis of the community. Through literary metaphors, Derrick reveals the conservative nature of American national identity and expresses his desire to reshape the ideal United States.

System Integration: "Organic Essence" and Simplification Principle

Derrillo regards rugby as a social institution in 'The Zone of Formation', exploring its characteristics in terms of function and membership relationships, as well as its impact on collective identity. The metaphorical relationship between rugby and American identity is popular in cultural studies, and Derrick further reveals the principles of configuration and political influence within the American community. The novel portrays the "organic essence" of rugby, manifested as a hierarchical closed structure where individual differences are eliminated within larger units. Coach Creed described rugby as a complex system complex, consisting of offensive and defensive systems, where individuals are subordinate to a well-defined whole. The novel dramatically portrays closure and hierarchical structure through the geographical location of the team and the dominant relationship between Creed and the players. Creed is like a warden in a panoramic open view prison, closely monitoring and disciplining players, possessing the supreme power to shape and erase personality. The second part of the novel depicts the intense battle between the team and the West Center Exchange Biotechnology College, showcasing the players' self denial and their adherence to the absolute identity forged by Creed in rugby. Derrillo shattered this illusion, pointing out that it was just a modern replica of the Tennis style community, with the external form of an organic organism completely stripped of the emotional connections necessary to maintain bonds. Creed's football dream is a passion for simplification, smoothing out complexity and diversity into pure singularity, and building an unbreakable fortress by eliminating all strangers. The collective bond that once carried responsibility, morality, and dignity has been torn apart, and players are forced to submit to an artificial coercive convention. The more Creed portrays the organic form of rugby, the more alarming the conflicts and divisions within it become. This seemingly self-contained community that promises to provide members with a sense of belonging not only fails to create unity, but also becomes a breeding ground for hostility, and even cultivates the existence of "alienation" that can dissolve collective identity. Deliro attempts to illustrate that the most profound destruction of bonds is not violent dismantling, but rather the apathy and alienation hidden deep within collective consciousness. When identity can only be consolidated through eternal threats and the elimination of differences, individuals will inevitably move towards isolated silence, which will ultimately erode the common foundation. Derrillo keenly exposes the fragility of the football system itself, which is stripped of emotional connections, and uses meaningful writing to outline its connection with the vast American body. When Clyde insisted that the rugby system assembled solely based on mechanical principles was a microcosm of a powerful America, Gary's teacher Zarapak expressed deep concern about this America, which was enthusiastic about self-improvement and constantly expanding: it was not the enemy of this country, but its own pursuit of power that led to its isolation from the world. The metaphorical relationship between the two is symbolically reproduced in the science fiction species Nautilus, which is a fictional image fascinated by Gary's girlfriend Mina. It has a complex and precise body structure that can be infinitely replicated in the brain, ultimately evolving into a huge monocular system that only perceives the external world from within, or has no distinction between inside and outside, because "it is everything in itself". The existence of the parrot snail, which reproduces asexually, devours the outside world while also integrating itself, represents the consistency between Clyde's ideal of rugby and the conservative imagination of America, that is, both construct an internal purpose by excluding all differences, and its consequences are both dark and terrifying - the force of backlash surging within its fiercely defended absolute power.

The rebound of 'systemic violence': racial conflicts and the destruction of communities

In depth exploration of De Niro's critique of "systemic violence" in "The Matrix" reveals how this violence ignores individual differences through the pursuit of identity, leading to racial discrimination and conflict. Derrick portrays the forms and consequences of systemic violence, as well as its potential threat to American identity, through the issue of race in rugby. Kewater believes that Derrick is more concerned with how racism confirms the limitations of language, while ignoring the importance of racial issues in the history of rugby development. Zizek referred to this violence as' fundamental systemic violence ', which is a manifestation of the exclusivity of the capitalist community. Deliro believes that the suppression of Americanization has led to more divisive consequences, with traditional forced isolation transforming into a strong demand to retreat to ethnic identity in order to gain support. The stories of Taft and Anatole respectively represent the radical side of Americanization and the more covert and destructive forms of systemic violence. Delillo questioned the exclusivity and intolerance in the process of Americanization, believing that the core issue of the community lies in respecting the individuality of its members and maintaining a dynamic balance between belonging and differences.

The Transformation between Games and Closed Systems: Crisis and Reconstruction of Communities

Explored how Derrick uses the metaphor of rugby to explore the crisis and reconstruction of the community in American society. Derrick focuses on resetting the principles of community structure to bridge the torn American society, transforming rugby from a closed system to an open game, symbolizing the liberation and reconstruction of the community. Dewey analyzed the scenario of team members freely playing rugby in the wind and snow, pointing out that it breaks away from conventional organizational methods and brings more free connections. Leclerc believed that rugby as a game is an open, interconnected, and unpredictable system. Deliro introduced rugby into the gaming world by depicting aimless scenes of playing in snow, weakening the constraints of simplification principles and adversarial thinking on human nature. Forrest Gump emphasizes the liberating potential of games, creating new uses by stopping old ones, and challenging the oppression and division of capitalism on people. Deliro demonstrated profound changes in the operating principles of the rugby system and the ways in which members connect, completing a positive imagination of the community configuration. However, Deliro also realized soberly that the community that was dissolved could be reorganized into an intolerant closed organization. At the end of the novel, Creed's discipline on Gary abruptly halted the game, and the functionality and organizational principles of the rugby system once again shifted towards closure and homogenization. Derrillo expresses his concern about the harsh side of American identity and his attempt to reshape a more inclusive American identity through the metaphorical relationship between rugby and community building. He emphasized that shared emotional connections and moral responsibilities are the glue that maintains social unity. The book 'The Matrix Zone' reminds readers that the configuration of the community is always in the process of self-examination, correction, and reconstruction, containing the power to promote the continuous improvement of the community.
