Abstract
What in the actual workings of Nature and life unfolds is either in simultaneous (yet distinctive), or successive (yet intertwining) events (which partly cooperate and partly advance over each other’s phases) or in fusions, which enact each other’s propensities. The discovery process of the human mind, in contrast, first follows the whims of the spontaneous, intrinsic processes of Nature, yet diverges in the ways of their plotting organization into expository presentation, and second, has, in the traditional discourse in which philosophical visions of Nature, life and man are presented, followed the strictly delineated pattern of the temporal succession in which our reading-cognizing process works.
