Patterns as Objective Realities
Patterns in nature, like flying, are considered objective realities that exist independently of the individual elements that make them up. These patterns cohere multiplicity into unity, representing an auto poetic and agentic quality in biological entities. Beings are placed in a hierarchy based on their level of agency and consciousness, with the recognition that consciousness does not equate to beingness. The essence lies in recognizing and understanding patterns that transcend individual constituents, such as the pattern of 'flying' observed in butterflies, bats, and birds, which bind disparate elements together for a collective purpose.
