This article analyses the tension in Being and Time between two irreconcilable models of the genesis of science: one privative (science the deprivation of the practical world of its worldhood) and the other projective (as a mathematical projection of nature, §69b). We challenge unifying readings (Caputo, Glazebrook) by showing that: (1) the 1925 course employs only the privative model; (2) a parallel rupture emerges in Being and Time’s homogenization of space. This rupture results from a change in the relationship between worldliness and the world in the ontologico-categorial sense, where the former no longer grounds it but makes it intelligible. Being and Time is thus a fractured, non-unitary project
