“The conception of knowledge as passive contemplation is too inadequate to meet the facts.” – Alfred North Whitehead

In this Way

Interconnected
With one another
Empathizing positing

Late in the winter the beach takes on an emotionally wild and natural appearance.

“From the point of view of magnitude, what can there be in common between the extensive and the intensive, the extended and the unextended?” – Henri Bergson

Thinking is often scalular.

“Distinct states of the external world give rise to states of consciousness which permeate one another, imperceptibly organize themselves into a whole, and bind the past to the present by this very process of connexion.” – Henri Bergson

Interference

Action process
Waveform correlation
Displacement amplitude

Directional wind forces create undulation patterns on the lake-surface.
