The missing question
Why does any difference remain distinguishable through change long enough to participate in reality?
Y-Theory begins before a finished object, clock, observer, or scientific subject is assumed. It asks for the minimum relational condition from which any of them could become available.
- Inside
- The distinction being followed.
- Outside
- Everything not included in that declared distinction.
- Relation
- Whatever lets the distinction remain consequential rather than disappear without a trace.
