91 instances of ‘versioning’
Plants orienting towards sunlight / Plants even moving toward the sound of the water running

1/ STOPPED PROCESS —
CHAPTER III: AN OBJECT
For the first time in our model we have derived a sense of “the SAME.”
Now we are speaking not just of the whole body-identical “environment”, but of a certain aspect of it which separates itself by being absent. So the feeding process separates itself as well and remains implied. Everything else involved in feeding is here, the animal, the other animals, the air, ground, light, all together. What is not here is only a small but separated “part” of the whole en#2.
If such an aspect of en#2 is missing, we can speak of “a” process that is separated and stopped. Now there is a STOPPED PROCESS
separable from the whole process.
The part of en #2 that separates itself by being absent plays a special role. It stops a process by its ABSENCE .[emphasis added]
…………………………
Let us give this part of b-en#2 the ancient name “object” (even though it often means species members not just things as in the old model). If we do this we don’t think of the environment as already consisting of objects, and especially not of spectator-defined OBJECTS. Rather, something is an object only if it is part of body-en #2, and also sometimes missing. A creature might have just one or two OBJECTS.

"You and I HAPPENING TOGETHER makes us IMMEDIATELY DIFFERENT"
~~
(with emphasis added)Quoting Gendlin, E.T. (1997) A Process Model (APM) Chapter IVB TIME:
“It is commonly said that each of our relationships “brings out” different traits in us, as if all possible traits were already in us, waiting only to be “brought out.” But actually you affect me. And with me you are not just yourself as usual, either. You and I HAPPENING TOGETHER makes us IMMEDIATELY DIFFERENT different than we usually are. Just as my foot cannot be the walking kind of foot-pressure in water, we occur differently when we are the environment of each other. How you are when you affect me is ALREADY AFFECTED by me, and not by me as I usually am, but by me as I occur WITH you.”

APM Gene ~ Navy IF cans (Intermediate Frequency)
“If we want to imagine this happening in linear time (differences occurring one after the other) I can tell a STORY: When I was in the Navy, I learned to repair and tune the radio receivers of that time. They had several parts called “IF cans” (Intermediate Frequency), each of which had a screw on top. I had to turn the screw on the first one to the point where the signal is loudest. Further turning diminishes the signal again”
“Then I would turn the screw on the second to its maximum. But this would make a difference to the first. I would turn the screw on the first o what was now the loudest point. But this would affect the second, so it had to be turned to its loudest again. Now this altered the first again, but only a little. After going back and forth a number of times, both are at their loudest. Now came the third, and then each time going between the second and the first again, second and first, second and first, between every tuning of the third. And so with the fourth, where one must return third, second, and first, second and first, between every two tunings of the fourth”
“Eventually ALL DIFFERENCES all of them can make to each other, and all the differences that makes to all the differences, and so on, is taken account of. (In section h) I ask about how “loudest” works here as the direction.)
The point is that there is a RESULT. All differences having made their differences, the result is what it is. It is the result of EVERYTHING AFFECTED BY EVERYTHING (“evev”). But in our model the differences do not occur. Only the result occurs” (emphasis added EVERYTHING AFFECTED BY EVERYTHING (“evev”)
“There is no single set of separate things that could be [page 42]
“everything” or “all.” What happens remakes “all” parts and differences. Implying is more ordered than a structure of parts, processes, or differences; occurring redetermines its multiplicity. (In ECM this is discussed as the “reversal of the usual philosophic order.”)
In the story of the IF cans, each new tuning takes time. But everything x everything does not take (or make) more time than the occurring itself. The differences which each makes in the others, and they in it, are not actual occurrences, nor actual time-spans.6
––––––––––––––––––––––––––
~~ and later ~~ “f) Focaling
In my story about tuning the radio, the direction was given in advance by my desire for the loudest, so that I could receive distant stations. The purpose of a machine (or anything we make) remains in the designer. But how does it arise in the designer? If it must be brought to the designer by still another designer, how could they ever arise? So we need to ask: How does PURPOSE and DIRECTION arise from within a process? For lack of this question today, everything is treated as if it were a machine, and moreover a machine that had no designer. Our purposes are left unthinkable within our science (which is nevertheless influenced by many purposes).” …
” In re-tuning each IF can, the DIFFERENCES became SMALLER and SMALLER and reached a STABLE RESULT. But without a purpose or direction, how can the eveving arrive at a result?” (emphasis added} SMALLER and SMALLER and reached a STABLE RESULT. “
