All phenomena are (composed, and composable) composition – composition includes relative structural arrangement 1. What it is that is arranged, are other phenomena – relative priors, become constituents:
- Sub-atomics (will skip past to avoid distraction for now)
- Atoms (composed sub-atomics)
- Molecules (composed atoms)
- Repeat for: cells, organisms, ideas, language, behaviour, food, etc - Everything
for intuition, think food recipes – a recipe instructs us how to prepare and arrange ingredients (relative phenomenal priors, later constituents) to achieve a desired structurally arranged composition
"—why do we care?"
The only reason we care about any universal phenomena is the nature and consequence of respective phenomenal behaviour. All phenomenal behaviour is:
- The result of relative structural arrangement of phenomenal constituents, upon other phenomena, which occurs upon intersection
- Relative, conditional, and therefore circumstantial
- As such, we can think of behaviour as being circumstantially evaluated, or circumstantial evaluation
given identical extrinsic circumstances, phenomena with the same composition (which includes relative structural arrangement) will behave the same; and phenomena with different composition (even if only relative arrangement) will behave differently (the set-of-all behaviours)
note: I find “causal participation” a useful wrapper for the evaluation of relative behaviours; and “causal profile” a useful wrapper for each phenomenal set (or pattern) of behaviour/ changes 2
terms
- Phenomenal constituents: “predominantly sub-parts; though also relative arrangement (which necessarily includes the arrangement of constituents themselves, all the way down); and technically, each compositions respective behaviours (!)”
- The formal definition (because set-theory working): set-of-all circumstances/ concerns 3
Examples.

Like musical composition. ↩︎
-
We distinguish phenomena by differences in structure and behaviour. Because distinct structural composition causes distinct behavioural profile, circumstantial evaluation of relative arrangement is how more is different. ↩︎

Super technical note: circumstances = territory; concerns = map. ↩︎
