A Concise Description of Responsive Naturing

All Natural Phenomena With a Discernible or Necessary Ontogenetic Lifespan Are Living Beings and Are Responsively Natured. Responsive Naturing is the Omnintrinsic Information of Complex Geometries of Cognizant Gravity Which Are Each Being’s Ontogenetic Potential Development, Taking Into Account Contextual Conditions and Affective Intents. This is Sciomorphogenesis.

In this paradigm, every natural thing is a living being with an ontogenetic form that defines the potential of that being’s development over its lifespan. This potential is modified — both naturally and accidentally — as the being is informed over its life. 

The intended meaning of “inform” is its original etymological sense as first used in the 14th century: giving concrete form to something,  or to make known in an actual sense, rather than a conceptual one.

The local process of informing a form is what I call a sæculum. Sæculum is the Latin word for the potential lifespan of a human. In my usage a sæculum is the cognizant, but impersonal, responsive naturing of that particular ontogenetic form. This activity of being natured is called information.

This word, “information,” is used with its original meaning, that being the activity of informing — as defined in its original etymological sense given above.

Note that there is no independent self-nature anywhere, in any being. This means there are no truly independent entities anywhere. Responsive naturing is omni-intrinsic — that is, responsive naturing is a shared intrinsic productive principle that is the ontogenetic activity of all sæcula. Think of a sæculum as a wave on an ocean of sæcula — the ocean being the potential of all sæcula — except there are no waves, and no ocean, because this activity can only be known by the intelligible phenomena it produces.
