The world is established as a dynamic entity. This dynamism manifests as a perpetual cycle of emergence and extinction, driving existence itself. Through this process of arising and passing away, relative positional relationships are in constant flux; no single configuration ever recurs. It is this very non-reproducibility that brings time into being. “Meaning” arises at the moment one constructs a fiction of reproducibility in defiance of this non-reproducibility.
Existence is a dual force. Outwardly, it drives emergence and extinction; inwardly, it maintains the self. When these two forces reach an equilibrium, difference is born, and the world remains “open” rather than collapsing into homogenization. If this equilibrium is lost, existence gravitates toward self-destruction.
Emergence is the arising of that which was not. Extinction is the passing of that which was. Therefore, the dynamism of existence is the negation of absolute nothingness. When absolute nothingness is not negated, emergence and extinction cease to drive, and existence reaches a state of stasis. In this stasis, relative positional relationships become fixed, and it is this fixation that brings space into being.
Time is established as the non-reproducibility of relative positional relationships, while space is established as their fixation. These two, as the dual modes of existence—dynamism and stasis—define the world.
