Precise expression
Accessible propagation
Life aspect
Connected groups of sensation substitute for the thing in itself.
“We can exercise on each perception of a thing a phenomenological reduction in such a manner that we make this perception in itself an object.” – Edmund Husserl
Proteinaceous
Extruded silk
Lakeside orb
Tools extend the physical influence realized by an animal by direct manipulation and external employment.
“Because they can do so much with such tiny brains, some researchers think orb weavers use their webs as a form of extended cognition, outsourcing advanced mental tasks like problem-solving and memory.” – Mike Seely
Cyclical pattern
Retentional processions
Affective force
Strategies to support growth and development differentiate across species.
“The primordial source of all affection lies and can only lie in the primordial impression and its own greater or lesser affectivity.” – Edmund Husserl
Meanings depend
Essentially explicit
Surrounding indication
Evidence deposited on the shore after an emphatic storm.
“You fell in love with a storm. Did you really think you would get out unscathed?” – Nikita Gill
Bird grasshopper
Schistocerca damnifica
Confined by environment
A rather large and prominent Outer Banks hopper is found alone in a bush on the edge of ocean lake.
“Grasshopper, seek first to know your own journeys beginning and end…But in this seeking, know patience.” – Master Po
Presumptive end
Derived from evidence
Affair complex
Adjacent to someone’s backyard property, nature progresses independently.
“But here, at this decisive point in the process of beginning, we must penetrate deeper with our meditations.” – Edmund Husserl
Continually evolving
Specific entities
Ontological primacy
Sometimes reflecting surfaces operate at divergent focal points.
“But the thing holds itself aloof from us and remains self-sufficient.” – Maurice Merleau-Ponty
Indigenous
Microbial process
Surface sheen
Certain anaerobic bacteria derive their energy by oxidizing dissolved ferrous iron, producing thin-film interference color patterns on still swamp water.
“The rainbow sheens found as a thin film on top of pooled water in swamps and marshes are the result of natural oils released by decaying vegetation or the biological processes of anaerobic bacteria reducing iron in soil.” – Jeff Ripple
Lived experience
Intimate relation
Territory of time
In the swamp, fallen leaves pile-up and flatten-out under incessant water pressure.
“Swamps and bogs are places of transition and wild growth, breeding grounds, experimental labs where organisms and ideas have the luxury of being out of the spotlight, where the imagination can mutate and mate, send tendrils into and out of the water.” – Barbara Hurd
Ontological status
Conceptual perspective
Articulates itself
Time manifests in all natural and organic circumstances.
“Knowledge presupposes that the world affects us and our instruments, that there is an interaction between the knower and the known, and that this interaction creates a difference between past and future.” – Ilya Prigogine
