Summary
"This work grapples with key issues of reality (both potentiality and actuality), scale (both local and global), context (scale and approximation, plus asymmetry/symmetry), and process (both emergence and actual events). Building on a convergence of progress in physics, emergence research, and process thought, this work highlights a new relational realism, which enables intuitive, yet effective, solutions to key problems in modern science."--Cover page 4.
