Imagine several independent processes moving through a shared field of possibility. At first, they unfold separately, each following its own potential. Then, gradually, they begin to align — briefly forming a coherent structure, a temporary horizon of mutual orientation.
The convergence is fragile and fleeting. As soon as one process shifts, the alignment changes, yet the structure leaves a trace: a new relational possibility, a subtle reconfiguration of potential. What emerges is neither a property of any single process nor a fixed entity — it is the pattern of alignment itself, manifest only while the processes maintain relational coherence.
What this reveals:
Emergence depends on alignment and feedback, not on pre-existing rules or central control. Transient structures arise through relational interactions, demonstrating that coherence is an achievement, not a given. Every instance of convergence opens new horizons for subsequent construals.
