Now if everything that exists as a thing is grounded in the occurence of distinction, as a distinction allows a thing to occur for what it is and is not, then would not all things effectively be of a self-referencing process of distinctions within distinctions as a distinction...a self-referentiality of distinction?

Re: ****The Nature of Change
Everything that exists is imperfect and relative to a condition larger than itself. This larger reality is also an imperfect condition and relative to a condition larger than itself. Think wheels within wheels, the rotations of which the smaller condition must change in sync with the changing larger condition. This is most apparent in biological evolution through natural selection; the smaller condition is dependent for its existence on adapting to the larger condition. One can even see some variation in this example, but the rule holds. Take instances of symbiosis where one organism living freely invades the body of a larger organism; it has taken one step back from surviving in a larger realm, to scaling down to inhabit still a larger condition than itself, but not the larger realm of the physical world. It has chosen a community to adapt to or to be parasitic on this larger condition, the host organism. If its function is to be parasitic, it will undermine the health of its host organism/condition and must find a way to transfer itself from the host it is slowly killing to another member of the same species as a new host. No matter what the symbiotic relationship, parasitic, or mutualistic relationship, it adapts to the larger host condition, as the host is adapted to the outer physical world in which it has found sanctuary. There apparently is no goal or direction to this process beyond adapting to the upscaling or sometimes downscaling, as with the symbiotic relationship for parasitic or mutualistic, finding a place to call home. Adaptations, as the process is a luxurious gamble, life proliferates in bounty, and most mutations are deadly, with few making it through the process.Eodnhoj7 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 24, 2025 6:09 pmOkay.popeye1945 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 24, 2025 1:42 pmBecause it would be something in and of itself, not part of the grander scheme of things, and not part of evolutionary adaptation.

Re: ****The Nature of Change
It is imperfection that creates the plasticity of life plasma; perfection would concretize. All of earth and the cosmos is a flowing sea of imperfection. Nothing is perfect; there is near-perfection.

Instead of the very hard to comprehend and understand way you word things, here?
See, if you did, then you and "popeye" would not be in disagreement and conflict, here. As, the One Everything is a process of constant-change, which is unchanging, and perfect. Whilst everything else is constantly changing, naturally. Or, just what the words, 'The nature of change', are just referring to, exactly.

If reality is conditions within conditions then a recursive loop of reality occurs by means of cycling of both condition and conditionality.

You have no argument as to why perfection has to be concrete for what ceases to change ceases to exist so your notions of perfection are self-negating thus leaving the contrast of imperfections to cease as well.
By your own logic you cannot say existence is imperfect.
