Radically Temporalist Metaphysics
Interconnectedness is enough.
Interconnectedness is all things.
Not as a singular entity, the universe as a container that contains all things, but as a community of co-creators.
Interconnectedness means that everything contributes to the unfolding creative advance of the universe.
The universe is a massively co-participatory creative project with no ultimate aim except the expansion of its possibilities and a general enrichening of beauty that is mechanistically described as "increasing complexity."
The universe continually grasps towards new horizons from the ground of what has been presently actualized.
This is the "radically temporalist" perspective, which acknowledges the ultimate reality of time.
Time is not a linear dimension that things pass through, it is the creative advance of the universe itself, the weaving together of endless trillions of things.
Change and interconnectedness and mutually dependent notions.
They correspond to differentiation and integration in calculus.
And as primordial creative operations of breaking apart (differentializing trajectories) and putting together (integrating parts.)
What I have already described is sufficient, the rest follows the necessary implications.
This thread is as if a space alien leaked the philosophical mysteries of the universe.
And they have been right in front of humanity's face for hundreds of years unappreciated.
Of course calculus was the mathematical tool that made Newton's revolution in physics and science possible. And of course calculus is indispensable in modern quantum mechanics and relativity.
But taking the fundamental theorem of calculus as a first metaphysical principle was all too obvious for a culture rooted in radically atemporalist notions of atomic independent existence.
