But you would be taking a tiny fraction of the total set of deltas. Most of what 'you' are can be defined without reference to some delta in the position of an electron in another galaxy.

'Immanence' as I understand it is the reductive view of 'you' at some time. It's a slice out of time and space, a tiny set of the total deltas. 'Transcendence' is just thinking about reality in terms of the whole set of deltas, rather than any semantically relevant subset.

Whitehead's whole thing is: 'gosh, all of western philosophy acts like Immanence is the only thing that's real, but don't they see that the transcendent view is just as ontologically relevant? Or maybe moreso, even?' @moonandserpent chime in if I'm being reductive!

So, 1. Thanks to y'all for bein' all smart and stuff in my mentions, and 2. One non-philosophy route to process philosophy is writing Clojure. I think that's why I was able to understand some of Myk's ideas when we met https://github.com/matthiasn/talk-transcripts/blob/master/Hickey_Rich/AreWeThereYet.md …

this talk is great, thanks for linking it. this feels like retroactive validation from one of the sharpest minds in CS so I feel like I'm onto something, though I really diverge from some of his models!

Thanks, if I saw this before I'd forgotten. It's nice to see how widely accepted many of these ideas are, nine years on. I'm also glad to see major software initiatives coming from people capable of talking about them philosophically.

One of the purposes of the thing I'm working on now is to find a viable model of computation that moves beyond the single point of view. Philosophically, relativistic and constructivist. Technically, exploring distributed computing and collaboratively constructed representations.

Oh gosh hello that’s sorta what I’m building too. CRDT deltas all the way down, any set of deltas can be reduced into a stateful snapshot (constructivist), different users can see different deltas so its relativistic.

This is still early but the pieces are taking shape. If any object can be decomposed into the processes that it's composed of, if those processes can be reified and 'owned', then everyone can have a local set of processes representing _their_ view of a given object, and share!

It's hard to develop a critical or self-reflective practice without focusing on process.
