The New Materiality Corrected.pages

A richer conception of causality linked to the notion of the structure of a possibility space, gives us the means to start thinking about matter as possessing morphogenetic powers of its own.

To conclude, linear causality and its necessary and unique outcomes, gives us a picture of matter as something incapable of giving birth to form by itself.

But the fact that underneath these mechanisms there is the same tendency to minimize some quantity (or to cycle through the same set of states over and over) shows that the singularities themselves are mechanism-independent.
