Multiple Generative Levels II: Reality

  • In the general case, Multilevel Propensities are ‘parallel processes’ all equally real.

    • Level B, for example, is not just an approximate description of successive forms of other levels A or C.
    • Neither is B a microscopic constituent of either of levels A or C.
    • Rather, levels A, B, C,... are real processes ‘in parallel’ that interact with other by relations of ‘generation’ and ‘pre-condition’.
