📢 New Comparative Analysis: Quine vs. The Conference of Difference
"To be is to be the value of a bound variable." — Quine
But what if existence itself is process before it's object?
In this new assessment, I contrast Quine's static, physicalist ontology with the CoD's dynamic, relational model—where being is an active conference of difference.
🔍 How does relation precede relata?

Jean-Paul Sartre vs. the Conference of Difference. New analysis: freedom isn't a burdensome human condition but a specific expression of universal relational binding. A unified ontology dissolves the en-soi/pour-soi gap. 🧵

A year into this project, I've just finished a major revamp of my process ontology site.
The goal? A "4U" design—content tailored for novices, students, and experts alike. Same deep ontology, now accessible at every level.
Traffic has grown from 100→450+ daily visitors. Here's to the next year of exploring the process of existence together. 🎉

Bergson said clock time hides reality. CoD says it reveals a map for navigating it. Same insight. Different conclusion. New comparison.

Is reality a dynamic layered structure with discoverable categorical laws (Hartmann) or a pure relational process where structure emerges from relating (CoD)? My latest comparison tackles this question head-on. Spoiler: both models are mor…

My new article explores a cyclical model of existence: energy-matter conserved, phase transitions eternal, and black holes as the engines of cosmic regeneration. No Dar…
RE: https://mastodon.social/@claireasher/116931562197326326
We should stop asking "How did life start from scratch on Earth?" and start asking "How did Earth organize a pre-existing cosmic toolkit?" This is process ontology in action—a len…
[Updated: 14-07-2026] What if the universe didn't begin as a thing, but as a conference of differences? A process ontology account of cosmic evolution—from the primordial plasma to the stars—showing that existence is reconfiguration, not c…
🚨 Ontology face-off 🚨
Whitehead's process philosophy vs. The Conference of Difference.
Both reject static substances. Both prioritize relation over relata. But only one grounds relationality without teleology, God, or eternal objects.

What if the entire field of consciousness studies has been chasing a ghost for 400 years?
