I have borrowed a term from physics, “continuum,” to stand as a
technical term for manifest reality—the totality of patterns within
ever-greater patterns in an ascending/descending holarchy, in which
space-time-matter-energy are indivisible, and all that appears is mutually
dependent on everything else.
This condition is expressed in street slang as “Everything is
everything.”
In Buddhism, it is called “mutually dependent arising.”
William Carlos Williams wrote a great little poem, "The Red Wheelbarrow," that reveals the
kernel:
So much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chickens.
