Khethil,
Well, weather we did or no, your statement is right on the money. Actually I would rather think in terms of cooperation than anyone setting traps--------sounds kind of negative. This business of action on the part of the physical world, I do not know quite what to make of that, is that which is being, is existence, of neccessity acting? It would seem your contribution answers that for us, yes its very existence is mutual reaction, but is its relation to a organism one of action, the action of being, the action of presence, existence? What say you Khethil??
An emergent quality is not of cause, but relational transformation of the elements of at least two objects, conditions or substances. The essence of what will be is in the nature of what is called cause and effect, two constitutions that react to emerge as something new or to produce something new.
