The approach here has been to favour the construal of phenomenal experience in terms of potentials and processes. The concern has been with interrelatedness and interconnectedness, since individual identity correlates with specific configurations of relatedness. The circumstantial focus has been on how and why, rather than when and where, because of the higher explanatory power of means and reason compared to time and place.

The approach taken here has favoured the construal of phenomenal experience in terms of potentials and processes. The emphasis has been on interrelatedness and interconnectedness, on the grounds that individual identity emerges from specific configurations of relational systems. The circumstantial focus has been on how and why, rather than when and where, in recognition of the greater explanatory power afforded by considerations of means and motive over those of time and location.
