The point is that this thing isn't important to the overall process. It could really be ANY-thing. What matters in onticology, it seems to me is that difference is produced. Now, if the Ontic Principle were to read: There is no difference that is not the result of a difference, then definitely the factory example wouldn't work.<br /><br />So, I think you are correct in stating that this seems too linear and determined, but I wonder if it's because difference is given a necessary condition to exist in onticology - that is, it must MAKE a difference as well as BE a difference? Otherwise, difference on its own - perhaps, pure difference - is dynamic and progressive in nature.<br /><br />Any thoughts?Nathan Galehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04326939633169223993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891233110443244524.post-87587479013485861492009-10-06T11:59:57.262-05:002009-10-06T11:59:57.262-05:00The idea of production bothers me a bit because of...The idea of production bothers me a bit because of its baggage. As in your example of the factory, it brings with it to many aspects of linearity and determination. However, the processes of difference may be innumerable and simultaneous, aleatory and dynamically deregulating.dannoreply@blogger.com
