[Avodah] Rambam on Metaphors

[rabbirichwolpoe at gmail.com]

I am working on hilchos yesodei hattorah. An acquaintance is researching
the Moreh on "ayin tachas ayin"

This thought occured to me:

Given: It is clear that the Rambam holds that every anthopomorphic
reference to HKBH is metaphorical

Therefore couldn't the Rambam apply this to "ayin tachas ayin" too?
And so it too has no peshat other than its halachic implementation?

And if there is a hilluq to be made between EG Yad Hashem being
metaphoircal and Ayin tachas Ayin not being metaphorical; what is
that hilluq?

NB: I am only working within the confines of the Rambam and his sheetos.
Others may indeed have other approaches.
