NOTE

Understanding Axiom 2 and the Nature of Process

The process of editing source code, compiling it, and running it as a program involves multiple metaphors that cross domain relationships in unique ways. The compiler acts as a transcendent operator moving from the source code domain to a runtime domain consisting of bits, bytes, electron patterns, and physical wiring. In the runtime domain, new patterns emerge forming a different world where processes run on machines. Understanding Axiom 2 requires considering these overlapped metaphors to grasp the fundamental nature of process not solely as a theoretical concept but as an ontological experience. Moving beyond mere epistemology, this understanding delves into the relationship between personal subjectivity and the objective world, which can be disconcerting for strict realists.
