Social ritual in a Mexican village is described as structural hierarchy with a common semantic base. Stretches of rule‐governed behavior are generated through a series of metaphoric transformations of physiological process. The concordant structure that is so‐derived constitutes a semantic network that provides and reinforces cultural equilibrium and shared ideology.
