Generic
Generic names the structural condition through which a pattern generates instances of itself. It is the originating source from which instances arise, operative before any instance appears.
Kind names recurrent form recognisable across instances. Generic names the prior condition: the pattern already operative before those instances appear.
Generic operates throughout the spine: each order generates instances without becoming identical with them. The danger specific to Generic is Degenerate: what was generated begins to carry as if it were the source.
Places
Generic places the structural condition through which a pattern generates instances of itself — the originating source from which instances arise, operative before any instance appears.
Holds
Generic is held by Natural Order and Root Order. The dependency order must hold and natural order must be operative before a structural pattern can generate instances from a prior source.
Pairs
Generic pairs with Emergent. Generic names what generates instances from a prior structural source; Emergent names what arises from conditions without a prior generative source. Each requires the other to be locatable: a generative source is only nameable against what arises without one; emergence is only nameable against what comes from a prior source.
Traces
Nests
Generic nests at Ground as the originating condition through which structural patterns generate their instances — including the dependency patterns that each order instantiates from the prior order.
Reads
Generic becomes recognisable where what appears can be traced to an originating structural source rather than arising from the interaction of conditions.
