33. Emergence as necessary reorganisation
Emergence is not random complexity or gradual accumulation, but the necessary consequence of every relational difference immediately establishing new relations, contrasts and further understanding in KNOWING.
The core of this dynamic is that the Experience Circle and the Emergence Circle describe the same mechanism seen from two different perspectives. Seen from manifest experience the mechanism appears as the Experience Circle. Seen from KNOWING it appears as a continuous reorganisation of relations and understandings — an Emergence Circle.
Each experience simultaneously establishes new relations in KNOWING, and these relations form the basis for further experience. Each manifestation thereby reorganises the conditions for the next manifestation. Emergence is therefore the self-referential reorganisation that follows from experience continuously being related back to itself through the Experience Circle.
Each momentary reorganisation in KNOWING creates new relational differences that challenge the understanding of the entire affected part of the landscape. The total, momentary reinterpretation of this local whole then appears as qualia through the Experience Circle — a new sensation of what was just reorganised.
Attractor Dynamics describes how such relational possibilities momentarily appear as stable understandings and dominant readings in KNOWING. In KNOWING these relations exist simultaneously and immediately. It is only through manifestation in the Experience Circle that reorganisation appears as sequence, development, physics and the passage of time in the experienced world.
The Horizon Equation formalises this dynamic mathematically. It thereby describes not merely the relation between experience and understanding, but the very emergence mechanism on which the theory is built. On the abstract side the mechanism describes emergence towards higher attractors. On the manifest side it describes how emergence appears as qualia, experience and manifestation.
That the Horizon Equation simultaneously matches the fine-structure constant with twelve decimal places of precision indicates that this double EC mechanism is more fundamental than has hitherto been assumed.
