02 Second Order / Participation

Participation

Participation names the condition through which a bearing relation actively takes part in a scope. Where carrying names the continuation of a resolved condition, presence names coupled relation locally available, and bearing relation names coupled relation bearing on coupled relation, participation names that relation actively entering the conditions it moves through.

Read

Participation becomes recognisable where a carried, present bearing relation can be read as actively taking part — where relation is not merely available or continuing but bearing into the conditions it inhabits.

Structural Role

Participation is the second-order order root. It carries relation upward into Third Order by allowing bearing relation to recur as organised participation.
