Place in Ontology
Text 9 is the epistemological turning point of Field I. After describing the origin as instability (T4), chance (T5), emergent order (T6), event (T7) and gesture without an author (T8), this text says: Everything we have said so far is a retrospective construction.
The Specific Contribution
Narrative Awareness
OCE is not naive. She knows she's telling a story. But he claims that this story is the best tool we have to deal with reality. The origin is not a "lie", it is an "operative truth".
The Weather in Laço
Time is not a simple arrow. The present affects the past (by rewriting it). The origin changes as we change. If we discover something new today, the origin of the universe "changes" retroactively.
Liberation from Dogma
By assuming that origin is a construction, we free ourselves from any fundamentalist dogma. No origin is sacred or untouchable. All can be revised, rewritten and improved.
