Theoretical elaboration
Indeterminate reference
Ambiguous delineation
Wandering through the strip-mall at dusk, abstract objects reflect off opposed surfaces.
“If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.” – Frances Hodgson Burnett
Open system
Ecological entities
Observational predicates
The ocean lake development area is a reliable early morning aesthetic destination, even as wilderness struggles for survival in an environment modified for human occupation.

Destination awaiting
Relaxation elegance
Retreat place
Certain places offer comfortable vantage points of contemplation.
“There was this funny thing of anything could happen now that we realized everything had.” – Raymond Carver

“The capital error of associationism is that it substitutes for this continuity of becoming, which is the living reality, a discontinuous multiplicity of elements, inert and juxtaposed.” – Henri Bergson

“For consciousness corresponds exactly to the living being’s power of choice; it is coextensive with the fringe of possible action that surrounds the real action: consciousness is synonymous with invention and with freedom.” – Henri Bergson
Reflected light
Shadow anomaly
Causal theory
Shadow patterns are here made visible by the radiation they fail to reflect in relation to total ambient energy.
“When a theory of perception predicts that you cannot see something that you do see, then you ought not to believe the theory.” – Roy Sorensen
Tight relationships
Subsystems turn
Coherent organization
Proportionality between cause and effect is evident in a swamp.
“There is no objective way to determine whose view is right and whose is wrong, since the agents effectively live in different environments—although they may find that some of the regularities they infer appear to be similar.” – Francis Heylighen
Structural isomorphism
Ruminating relation
Flux of becoming
Early morning horizon lights dance on the edge of the land.
“Some elements on the periphery are brought into the center and others relegated to the fringes.” – Kent Palmer
Movement raises
Contradiction vanishes
Natural propensity
Variation marks the continuous cycles inherent to time passage.
“Eternity no longer hovers over time, as an abstraction; it underlies time, as a reality.” – Henri Bergson
Various processes
Distinctive capacity
Homeostasis maintenance
Suddenly there are many more dead birds on the beach. Perhaps seasonal change and migration patterns play a role.
“I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.” – Mark Twain
