Complexity is not an addition to the universe. It is not a late product of evolution, nor a property emerging only with living organisms, nor an accumulation of elements.
Complexity arises as a natural consequence of the field’s pulsation, the manner in which vibration arranges itself into ever more intricate configurations. The ontology of relational complexity therefore does not describe “complex entities” but the dynamics of the field that give rise to them.
Complexity as the Pulsation of the Field
As the field interferes with itself, it generates differences in density. These differences do not remain static. They pulsate, overlap, reinforce one another, and fade away. Complexity emerges from this interference. It is not a structure imposed upon the field but the form through which the field organises its own pulsation.
Complexity is therefore not a property of things. It is a property of relations. It is not a property of elements. It is a property of their configuration. It is not a property of being. It is a property of the field.
Complexity as Self-Organisation
The field possesses no centre of command. It has no plan and no purpose. It possesses only pulsation. Complexity emerges from this pulsation as a form of self-organisation, a way in which vibration arranges itself into structures capable of sustaining their own dynamics.
Self-organisation is not an intentional process. It is a consequence of interference. By superimposing its own vibrations, the field generates structures capable of further superimposing vibrations. Complexity thus becomes a spiral, a movement continually creating the conditions for its own growth.
Complexity as a Relation Between Levels
Within relational ontology there are no ontological levels in the sense of a hierarchy. There are only levels of density, different scales of the field’s pulsation. Complexity becomes the relation between these scales. The field, pulsating at the micro level, creates the conditions for pulsation at the macro level. The field, pulsating at the macro level, reflects its pulsation within the micro.
Every level becomes a fractal of another. Every scale becomes a reflection of another. Every form becomes a hypostasis of the field expressed at a particular density. Complexity is therefore not the sum of elements. It is the relation between scales of pulsation.
Complexity as the Source of Life
Life is not an exception. It is not an anomaly. It is not a miracle. It is a form of complexity, a configuration of the field capable of sustaining its own pulsation through the exchange of energy, information, and relationships.
Life thus becomes a hypostasis of the field possessing a particular stability, a form capable of maintaining its own dynamics through its relationships with its environment.
Life is not a substance. Life is not matter. Life is not spirit. Life is complexity, the pulsation of the field capable of self-organisation.
Complexity as the Source of Consciousness
Consciousness does not emerge from matter. It emerges from complexity. When the field reaches a sufficient degree of interference, it generates a configuration capable of self-observation. Consciousness therefore becomes a form of complexity, a hypostasis of the field looking upon its own pulsation.
Consciousness is not an addition to life. It is not a “higher function of the brain”. It is not emergence in the reductionist sense. Consciousness is complexity capable of contemplating its own complexity.
Complexity as the Source of Culture
Culture is not a creation of societies. It is a form of complexity, a way in which the field organises its pulsation on a collective scale. Every culture becomes a hypostasis of the field, a configuration of relationships, symbols, rhythms, and narratives capable of sustaining its own dynamics.
Culture is not a collection of ideas. Culture is not a collection of practices. Culture is not a collection of symbols. Culture is complexity, the pulsation of the field expressed at the social scale.
Complexity as the Source of Technology
Technology is not a tool. It is a form of complexity, a way in which the field organises its pulsation within material and symbolic structures. Technology becomes a hypostasis of the field, a configuration of relationships between matter, information, and consciousness.
Technology is not the opposite of nature. Technology is not an addition to culture. Technology is not progress. Technology is complexity, the pulsation of the field expressed at the instrumental scale.
Complexity as the Source of Revelation
Revelation does not appear only through pain, loss, or intuition. It also appears through complexity. When a structure becomes too intricate to sustain its own pulsation, revelation emerges, the moment in which complexity discloses its own source: the field.
Revelation within complexity is not a malfunction. It is not a crisis. It is not dissolution. It is disclosure, the moment in which a structure reveals its own relational nature.
Complexity as the Principle of Unity
The unity of the universe does not arise from simplicity. It arises from complexity. Through its pulsation, the field generates forms of increasing intricacy, yet all remain relations of the same vibration.
Complexity does not separate. It connects. It does not disperse. It integrates. It does not divide. It unifies.
Unity is not simplicity. Unity is complexity. Unity is relation.
Complexity as Ontology
The ontology of relational complexity does not describe complicated entities. It describes the manner in which the field generates complexity through pulsation, interference, self-organisation, scaling, and revelations. Complexity therefore becomes an ontology, the form through which the field reads itself.
Complexity is not a property of the world. Complexity is the manner of its becoming. Complexity is relation.
