• Garcia --> everything is a thing | speculative ontology (talking about 'thing' instead of object)
• Heidegger --> material based | ontological view (also talking about thing)
• Latour --> function (chains, cybernetic-feedback system)| systematic view

fundamental problematic

thing vs object

onto-monism sculpture

functional

THING

Undefined

- sculpture/self-supported

- colloquial(intimacy?)

reserved from previous mind map: (encountered<->not encountered) (anything<->every word) (tangible<->intangible) (no matter what from Carcia) (nothingness<->being) (subjective<->objective)

- divided<->undivided

(i.e. evolutionary algorithm, fractal)

OBJECT

Defined

- systemic functional / part of flow

- set themselves against us

- technical(distance?)

reserved from previous mind map: (interaction?) (function?) (value?)

-correlated to subject (through encounter/interaction) (i.e. Boston dynamics (military robots) --> object object correlation) --> encounter directly or indirectly --> can an object be subject? even without correlation?
