In no aspect
from no angle
are the myriad lives participant
in a seemingly solitary building
visible in the Now
to its builders
or users.
Such sight is not mystical,
its mechanism, Virtualization of and on the actual,
not mysticism:
Any construct, any object, any creature
is a record, a testament to, an artifact-resultant of
the participance in its Being
of every energy, substance, effect
and agent that acts and has acted
in its course, vector, presence, and history.
Unlike fossilness,
which the human intellect unfolds into fact-discontinuous knowledge
of forms and types of past Life, or evidence,
remnants, and resultants of past Life,
Participance can be unfolded
as both reportage—a record—of constituence
and as a predictor of the conditionality of futurity.
