Hi, I’m looking for a word that means the same or similar to dichotomy/dichotomous/duality, but begins with the prefix “bi-“. I can’t seem to find it in the thesaurus. Can someone help?

Check bifurcate/bifurcated and see if that's the word you want.

I think the word I was looking for was "binary", but I'm not completely sure. What about words that begin with "di-"?

Anway, thanks for the help!

Duality is a useful word here. Dimorphism is also handy, but may be much to big for your purpose (which you haven't told us, by the way).
