30. Attractors as perspective structures

When new attractors arise through Emergence Dynamics, new perspectives simultaneously arise in KNOWING. Each attractor represents a stabilised understanding from which the focal point can experience the world.

The focal point branches as the emergence tree itself branches. Each new stabilisation forms the basis for new relations, new understandings and new perspectives. As the emergence tree grows, so too does the number of possible views towards the rest of KNOWING.

The perspective does not lie in the attractor itself, but in the focal point that experiences from the attractor. THE EXPERIENCER always experiences relations from a particular position in the attractor landscape. Different attractors therefore offer different views towards the same underlying relations.

In this way a diversity of perspectives gradually arises through the same emergence process. Attractors thus function as perspective structures that organise from where relations are experienced, understood and given meaning.

This is the basis for different focal points being able to experience the same reality differently. The difference does not lie in KNOWING, but in which attractors the experience is organised through.
