Each human life is a cosmos in miniature: a field where possibility is cut, negotiated, and actualised. To live is to participate in the weaving of worlds, not as a solitary agent but as a node in a dense web of relations.
A life’s trajectory is neither predetermined nor infinitely open. It unfolds through the interplay of agency and constraint, identity and multiplicity, reflexivity and mediation. In this sense, every biography is a cosmogenic act — a situated enactment of how worlds come to be.
To view a life in this way is to displace the search for essence or finality. What matters is not what a human “is” but how becoming is sustained, interrupted, and reconfigured across time. Each decision, relation, and encounter refracts the wider cosmos, contributing to the collective patterning of possibility.
The study of a life, then, is inseparable from the study of worlds. For the human is neither origin nor endpoint of meaning, but one strand in the becoming of reality itself. To trace a life is to trace the processes by which possibility takes form — a reminder that our most intimate trajectories are also cosmological.
