Context
What if our reality was fundamentally dynamic and interrelated - a process? Current developments in both science and technology provide abundant data and arguments for such a dynamic reconceptualization of reality. Our world is proving to be a dynamic process unfolding across all scales, from subatomic particles to galaxies. Living beings are processes that stand in complex, co-constitutive, reciprocal, evolving relations, jointly forming malleable, changing, and evolving environments, niches and biospheres. These insights, as well as the impact of digital technologies, and the current move from economies of ownership to sharing economies, shows the need for a shift in the way we view and engage with material resources, life, nature and reality.
