Rules of being

Topology

All causes and effects feed back in a continuing resonant reflection and projection of the harmonic progressions of existence in the here and now. As form follows function, structure follows process. A particular group of structures coincides with a particular group of processes or actions. Each action or entity can again be divided into other groups of actions or entities.

Groupings of such abstractions of entities can be sorted topologically. The actions of an entity abstractly place that entity into a group of things with some particular dynamic feature. All the members of that group are doing some common action. To be so grouped by that action is to be topologically placed into that group. An entity ‘comes into existence’ and ‘goes out of existence’. Existence, the process of being, is a common process for all things grouped as existing.

Change in change

New things are created or brought into existence by an entity making changes in things that already are going through many changes to be what they already are before they are changed again. All entities continue to make the changes that continue to contribute to their remaining in existence. Being is change. Change is inevitable in existence. Change is constant. Constant change is an oxymoron.

There is changing change and there is unchanging change. Once a new unstable changing change has established itself into a pattern of change, it becomes stable and changes to an unchanging change. An entity continuously requires new new changes that themselves get old and established. This need for continuing newness itself changes from a new need to an old need being needed anew. So changing change in change becomes unchanging change in change.

Even an entity that had been changing and then stops changing, changes.

Every level of changing change can be meta’ed to another level of unchanging change. With the needs of change to go ever further, a continuing meta’ing of meta change makes the whole cycle virtually endless. Change and no change simply exist together in harmonious contradiction; motion and stillness, yin and yang, each passing through the other.

Similar and different

Each thing changes like all other things change, and all things change, each in their own way. The whole is all those changes and not those changes. Change is existence, existence is change. The question is whether the perspective is one of similarities that are different or differences that are the same, or both and neither both and neither.
