Mapping Worlds, Knowledge, and Humans

What is reality? What is knowledge? What is the human? These are the questions at the heart of The Becoming of Possibility. Across three interlinked series — Mythotechnics, Relational Epistemologies, and Relational Anthropology — we explore existence not as a given, but as relational, generative, and participatory.

This is a journey from the macro to the micro, from worlds to knowledge to humans, revealing how possibility itself circulates, stabilises, and evolves.


1. Mythotechnics: How Worlds Are Made (and Unmade)

We begin with the big picture: civilisations and collectives carving reality through narratives, rituals, and myths. Worlds are not waiting to be discovered; they are constructed relationally through semiotic scaffolding.

Readers will see:

  • How stories stabilise collectives or precipitate collapse.

  • How ritual and culture maintain possibility over time.

  • How new world-cuts might be crafted for the future.

Takeaway: Worlds are patterns of enacted potential — not mirrors, but cuts that structure reality.


2. Relational Epistemologies: Knowing Without Representing

Next, we turn inward to the act of knowing itself. Knowledge is not a reflection; it is perspectival, enacted, and world-shaping.

Readers will explore:

  • Why representational thinking always misleads.

  • How knowledge emerges as relational construal.

  • How science, biology, and society produce knowledge through interaction, not observation.

  • How knowledge-systems co-individuate with worlds.

Takeaway: Knowledge is not passive reception — it is participation in the lattice of potential.


3. A Relational Anthropology: The Human Animal Reconstructed

Finally, we focus on the human: not as a fixed creature with properties, but as a dynamic node in semiotic, social, biological, and ecological lattices.

Readers will understand:

  • Humans as vortices of circulating potentials.

  • Agency as leverage in relational networks.

  • Culture as semiotic ecology.

  • Emotion as constraint negotiation.

  • How the future human co-individuates with emerging technological and ecological potentials.

Takeaway: The human is a process, not an object — emergent, relational, and co-actualising with the world.


The Arc of the Journey

  1. Worlds: Learn how possibility is structured and maintained at the civilisation scale.

  2. Knowledge: See how relational knowing co-creates the very worlds it inhabits.

  3. Humans: Understand how humans act, feel, and evolve as nodes in these circulating lattices.

Taken together, these three series offer a systematic vision of existence, meaning, and agency as relational processes. The Becoming of Possibility is not about discovering fixed truths — it is about navigating, participating in, and shaping the lattice of potential that constitutes reality itself.
