Reality is fundamentally a dynamic, inherently structured flow ("Panta Rhei")—a continuous process of becoming and transformation, rather than a collection of static, independently existing entities.
8. a. Emergent Stability within Flux
Observable structures, the apparent stability of objects, the regularities described by physical laws, and the recurrence of forms (from fundamental particles to complex information systems) are all emergent properties shaped by the continuous "flow and interactions of its contents".
8. b. Robustness of Patterns
The remarkable stability and reliability of many physical laws and material properties can be understood as arising from exceptionally stable, self-reinforcing, and widely instantiated patterns within this fundamental flow. These highly robust patterns form the "bedrock" or consistent background against which more transient or rapidly evolving patterns (like specific thoughts or social trends) emerge and dissipate.
