Micro ecology
Distinct moments
Spread out

Circumstances follow predictive cycles.

“True duration flows beneath space and spatialized time.” – Henri Bergson

Common origin
Fill the interval
Momentary spark

Commercial fishing vessels throw fish parts into the ocean that subsequently wash-up on shore.

“It is as if a broad current of consciousness had penetrated matter, loaded, as all consciousness is, with an enormous multiplicity of interwoven potentialities.” – Henri Bergson

Entangled circumstances
Objective background
Unintended acts

Perception is a background of what is present.

“Not only do we now have an expectation of the datum, then a perception of it, then a memory as retention, then a recollection, then a repeated recollection, but these series of acts also stand as series before our consciousness in the recollecting reflection.” – Edmund Husserl

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

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
