phenomenal substrate  ^{[active draft]  #tbc}

Phenomenal substrate :

1. Is a ‘phenomenally and temporally relative’ term
2. Refers to the set-of-all circumstances {material; transformational sequence} necessary to construct a phenomenon
   1. Encapsulates the set-of-all {permanent; temporary} phenomenal dependencies which must {exist prior; be satisfied in-time ¹} to explain the resultant structurally-composed derived form ²
3. Defines (or instructs) a phenomena-relative incrementally-finite space-of-all possible derived forms
4. Is a metaphor for a well-formed relative general-domain

consider the phenomenal substrate of a cathedral :

1. arches, pillars, walls, roof/ ceilings, etc
2. blocks and bricks, timber, metalwork, glass
3. also incidental (or temporal) substrate – like scaffolding, no longer visible, but essential to the present state of construction (and which includes prior forms of substrate composition)

—what do we miss by overlooking (persisted, temporal) phenomenal substrate?

consider: ‘more is different’

—if more is relatively (not absolutely) different, what is more relatively different from?

—what is different about a cathedral relative to it’s respective (persisted, temporal) substrate?

—how does one more-difference compare to another different more-difference?
