   • 2020, Graham Harman, Skirmishes: With Friends, Enemies, and Neutrals, page 212:

     OOO's way of addressing the issue is with the impossibility of exhausting any object through undermining, overmining, or their simultaneous employment in duomining.

   • 2022, Nicholas Gayle, Conrad and the Being of the World, page 25:

     We can even go further: when we consider an object in everyday life we do not usually just undermine or overmine it as if it demanded an either/or approach, but rather we run the two processes in tandem: duomining, as Harman labels it.
