Faber, Ronald. “PSI and the Magnitude of Whitehead’s Events.” 1996 [Unpublished Paper].

Abstract

Whitehead’s events are supposed to be of small and tiny nature building up an universe of organisms, connected complexly with others or within others, consisting of others or constituting them. Thereby, only actualities are held to represent primary reality, all combinations are considered derived. Author proposes the thesis that this is not the case. Moreover, in a catalythic passage through a quantum physical account, such as delineated by the British mathematician and physicist Roger Penrose, Author develops a new reading of Whitehead’s theory of “cogredience.” By doing this author intends to arrive at a rather different proposition suggesting an infinite variety of magnitudes for Whitehead’s events without losing their epochal character. Exploring the characteristics of “virtuality,” author reinterprets what can be considered “primordial” within the integral relationship of entities in the universe.
