Unintentionally systematizing aspects of agency
A semantic system is seen as having emerged from unintentionally systematizing aspects of contributing
agencies, enacted in course of their structured interaction. The setting in which the participating processes will
interact is pre-structured by the moment-and-place-transcending capacities of these unintentionally systematizing
aspects of contributing agencies, or USACAs, as they are called in the following. Systematization refers not only
to moment-and-place-transcending, but also to individuality-transcending aspects. Something that can be sharedwith others in such an individuality-and-moment-transcending manner must be implied in the contributing
capacities, hence in semantic systems, these potentially generalizable features do not replace or suspend the
individual ones. Instead, the individuality of processes and their specified interactions remains intact. In effect, a
dynamic and flexible balance of elements and their set are established. To accomplish the double task of staying
what one is and simultaneously transcending it entails certain operational requirements that must have been
previously met. These requirements can be separated logically, and in retrospect without assuming that they in
fact form a series of distinguishable steps. The emergence of complexity deserves a thorough investigation,
nevertheless.
Naming the logically mandatory steps of semantic system creation starts with a need to be principally able to
orient oneself toward the other, and to further work on this established, oriented contact. The next requirement
concerns the establishment of the above-mentioned balance of being oneself and engaging with others. If this
engagement would leave the contacting partners completely unchanged, it would not have been a real contact at
all, and at the least one would not be able to distinguish a contact from a non-contact. So, something “inside” the
interacting partners must change in course of their interaction. The term “inside” has a meaning that transcends
the merely spatial locality aspect. Instead, it helps to characterize a process’ effect- or meaning-generating realm,
seen as its semantic volume or the extension of its effectuated setting.
This, in turn, allows us to develop a concept of semantic pseudo-spatiality, best described not in metered
distances but in terms of interaction-sourced structuring effectivity. The latter becomes concentrated or is diluted
to eventually fade out, depending on the process-connecting strength of the system’s applied systematization.
Unlike metric space, semantic spaces as an aspect of semantic systems may converge, just as these systems may.
The corresponding superimposition has the form of a stepwise and partial approximation in terms of shareable
aspects of agency. It is a convergence or concrescence, as called in Whitehead’s process ontology. Again, an
overall orchestration does not replace or suspend the participating orchestras, just as an orchestra does not
replace or suspend its contributing musicians.
A semantic system remains a vivid structure, hence open to interacting and partially or totally merging with
other systems, transcending the process- and systems-individuality that the same time successfully prevails. As
outlined in this short introduction, some features qualify processes, their interactions, and their systematization
to become semantic or meaningful. In the following chapters, prominent aspects of qualifying requirements are
discussed in detail. The main sources of human reasoning in the form of philosophy are cited, and the random
path leading to the eventual concept creation is illustrated. With the inevitable heterogeneity of any philosophical
background, the proposed theory must convince on its own; it cannot be simply derived from a somehow
accepted previous one. It has a tentative character, requiring challenging questions and a thorough examination.
Parenting, care and human love: Unintentional and intentional semantic agency at work
A systems approach concerning the look from inside an interaction, together with a set of interactions allows us
to address the existential level and subjectivity. USACA in living beings including men additionally applies tacit
or explicit anticipation, to become intentional. In human life, the most prominent form of USACA and ISACA
application is the one invested in parenting and care. Both activities are concerned with establishing and
maintaining a resilient and endurable form of interactional inside-with-outside structures to be realized by the
child and the person taken care of. Tacit anticipation is implied in momentary realized activities in all living
beings. Additionally, men beyond infancy shape their anticipation in an also explicit form.
For good reason, parenting and care, besides their “technical” aspects, are also seen as the work of love. Love
always presupposes a being-concerned-with; in case of success, it implies the convergence of the individual
perspective into an also shared one. The same holds true for the mutually attuned co-acting, emerging from the
underlaying sources. The participants’ ongoing structural continuity is seen as a ring- or spiral-shaped enclosure,
and the semantic center as the lovers’ heart. Love is not static, but seen as pulsating like the heart, or in flames. It
directly arises from the participants’ coherences’ basis, and not from intellectual planning. It lives a genuine
inside-transcending inside and cannot be forced upon from the inside’s outside. Its synchronized harmony
requires a balance kept alive, in difference to an engulfment and an intrusion ignoring the other’s genuine inside,
and this inside’s eigen rhythm.

… Man startet also gedanklich mit einer „granulären“ Raumzeit-Auffassung und verallgemeinert diese im Hinblick auf ein allgemeingültiges Außen zu einer reinen Außen-Raumzeit.
Die Energie jedoch wird nicht verallgemeinert, sondern bleibt ihren Quellen, als dem jeweils Besonderen, dem jeweiligen Innen verhaftet, und sie wirkt quellgebunden auf dessen Außen spezifisch so, wie es der Empfänger im Außen - als „Informationsaufnehmer“ mitbedingt.
Im Verbund mit „Information“ als Einformung ist sie das, was in Bezug auf die Natur als „geistig“ im Sinn von strukturierendem, kohärenzstiftendem Inhomogenitäts-Transzendieren (ruach, pneuma, die als „Atem“ ein Innen im Außen strukturieren….) bezeichnet werden kann, womit wir wieder aufs erfreulichste beim Ausgang des Streits angelangt sind :-)
Moin Thomas,
auch wir schreiben eher aneinander vorbei als dass wir uns stritten und JHs Beitrag hatte ich lediglich als (womöglich Chatbot-generierte) Parodie unseres Geschreibes verstanden. Ich hatte appelliert: „Bezieh Dich doch einmal auf ein konkretes System mit empirischem Bezug. Ich sehe nicht die Interaktion als kohärent an, sondern die Struktur, die sich aus den Interaktionen unter Einschränkungen ergibt. Egal, ob es sich um Photonen im Laser, Elektronen im Supraleiter, autokatalytische Moleküle im Bioreaktor, kooperierende Individuen in Populationen handelt.“ Solange bspw. Energie und Kohärenz bloß Worte bleiben, kannst Du doch schreiben, wie es Dir beliebt und jeder kann sich dabei denken, was er will. Die Parodie ist dafür ein passendes Stilmittel.

In der quantenmechanischen Interaktion von subatomaren Quarks
entsteht eine einzigartige Anisotropie, die durch die fluktuierende
Kohärenz von Energiezuständen gekennzeichnet ist. Diese
hyperbolische Anomalie führt zu einem paradoxen Tanz der Quarks, bei
dem die Kohärenz in einem wirbelnden Strom von Anisotropien
verschmilzt. Die Energie, die durch diese unvorstellbare
Choreographie freigesetzt wird, formt das Gewebe des
Raum-Zeit-Kontinuums in einer Weise, die selbst für erfahrene
Physiker schwer zu fassen ist. Durch die rätselhafte Verschmelzung
von Quarks entsteht eine Energiekaskade, die die Grundlagen der
kosmischen Kohärenz herausfordert und dabei Anisotropien von bisher
unbekannter Komplexität hervorruft. Diese surreale Synthese von
Energie, Quarks, Anisotropien und Kohärenz eröffnet neue Horizonte
in der Erforschung des Universums, auch wenn die genaue Bedeutung
dieser Begriffe in diesem Kontext weiterhin unserer rationale
Vorstellungskraft entzogen bleibt.
