Impossible Horizons: Summary

Series Manifesto:

Possibility is not a backdrop. It is a dynamic, relational field—continually construed, cut, and actualised through perspective. Impossible Horizons explores the boundaries, paradoxes, and iterative processes that shape what can and cannot be instantiated. Each post traces edges, temporal tangles, impossible worlds, and the horizon itself, revealing the generative architecture of possibility. This is an invitation to explore the becoming of meaning, the evolution of perspective, and the infinite potential of relational construal.


Post 1: Opening the Horizon: Possibility Beyond Actualisation

Summary: Introduces possibility as a relational, dynamic field rather than latent potential waiting to be realised. Differentiates potentiality, actualisation, and construal, establishing the conceptual framework for the series and presenting the horizon as a generative, shifting landscape.


Post 2: The Edge of Instantiation

Summary: Explores the boundary where potential meets impossibility. Introduces hovering potentials and the perspectival nature of limits. Highlights how edges are not failures but relational signals shaping the architecture of possibility.


Post 3: Paradoxes as Possibility Machines

Summary: Examines how paradoxes and contradictions function as generative forces. Shows that impossibility, when read relationally, produces tension that catalyses new potentials and reshapes the field of meaning.


Post 4: Hyperagents and the Limits of Perspective

Summary: Introduces hypothetical hyperagents whose perspectives exceed ordinary relational limits. Explores how extended construals reveal hidden potentials, reshape edges, and illuminate the structure of possibility itself.


Post 5: Temporal Tangles and the Becoming of Possibility

Summary: Explores time as a relational, multi-stranded field. Examines how past, present, and future co-define potential, and how temporal tangles generate hovering potentials and influence actualisation.


Post 6: Impossible Worlds, Realised Conceptually

Summary: Investigates worlds that cannot exist materially but are relationally potent through conceptual actualisation. Highlights the generativity of impossibility and the power of unactualised potentials to reshape meaning.


Post 7: The Horizon Shifts: Iterating the Possible

Summary: Reflects on the iterative nature of possibility. Each act of construal reshapes the horizon, producing new edges, paradoxes, and potentials. Explores reflexivity, relational co-individuation, and the horizon as a dynamic, evolving field.


Post 8: Horizons Beyond Horizons: Towards Infinite Construals

Summary: Concludes the series by examining the ultimate implications of infinite construals. Highlights recursive generativity, the inseparability of perspective and becoming, and the inexhaustible nature of relational possibility. Invites readers to participate in the ongoing co-creation of the possible.
