Michael K., I agree very much with where you're coming from. The fallacy of misplaced concreteness is central to Mind vs matter, theory vs practice, phenotype vs genotype, etc. In terms of identity I refer to this fallacy as single aspect monisms of identity, but it's essentially recognition of the subjectivity and relativity of the tendency for our attention to centrate on abstractions to the exclusion of the underlying system that abstraction is embedded within. Whitehead, to me, is the Western philosophical authority on such matters. I dont believe this is exactly in line with UTOK, though I know Gregg to be a fan of Whitehead as well. And as TR somewhat alluded to I think your discovering that tendency (superposition) being played out in more than just particle physics is a great example of a process-ontology. As above so below; the more it changes the more it stays the same; coincidentia oppositorum, etc. Regards, Nicholas G. Lattanzio, Psy.D.
