Observer Analysis (Full Text)
Process Philosophy The observer is itself a process — not a fixed substance that endures through time but an ongoing event, a series of occasions of experience that extend across multiple temporal moments. At any given moment the observer is situated in a specific unfolding context, but it is always becoming, never static. Knowledge is processual and never complete; it is always in the making, always provisional. Yet each new experience integrates and builds on what came before, so the observer accumulates a growing, living record — a creative synthesis of its entire past. The observer is embodied and active, participating in the creative advance of the universe. Multiple observers are multiple processes, each contributing a unique thread to the ongoing weave of reality.
