Relational processes — things that happen in relational dynamics. Each process describes an operation or sequence of operations that transforms relational structure.
Processes are distinct from phenomena (things that show up) and terms (formal vocabulary). A process is what happens; a phenomenon is what becomes visible as a result.
Processes
- Differentiation — the primitive act of drawing distinction
- Flow — directed continuation of stability
- Iteration — self-application producing stabilization
- Stabilization — settling into fixed points
- Observation — witnessing and extracting data
- Measurement — extracting determinate content from a configuration
