Possibility is never uniform. Within every relational field, multiple pathways, outcomes, and instantiations coexist — a multiplicity of potentialities. Yet each actualisation appears singular: one configuration, one event, one perspectival cut through the broader field.
This tension between multiplicity and singularity is central to the architecture of becoming. Multiplicity ensures richness, contingency, and adaptability: the same relational field can generate different worlds depending on which possibilities are actualised. Singularity ensures coherence and intelligibility: the world as experienced is navigable, actionable, and meaningful from a given perspective.
Relationally, multiplicity and singularity are not opposites but complementary. Every singular actualisation emerges from multiplicity while simultaneously shaping it: some potentials are realised, others foreclosed, yet the field of possibility remains open to new actualisations. This dynamic interplay produces the evolving cosmos of possibility — a landscape both structured and fluid, disciplined and generative.
Recognising this duality helps us see how worlds are woven: actuality is always perspectival, yet it is drawn from a broader relational horizon; potential is abundant, yet constrained by prior cuts and emergent relations.
