Think Therefore

 I'll give myself credit for having a grip on what Heraclitus in 500 BC referred to as "All is Flux." But I'll not pretend to fully grasp the back row pioneers of physics where since the 1980's we've seen potential for understanding consciousness in Holonomic Theory which places consciousness as an interstitial phenomenon of quantum effects in and between brain cells. 

 At the same time I'm quite content to look for answers beyond the more traditional neuroscience which thinks in terms of patterns of neurons and surrounding chemistry. It's all very much Dutch to me, but I do grasp the difference between quantum, the very metaphysics of meaning, and the orderly process of atoms and molecules reacting to each other which is the science of chemistry.

 I'm tempted to call it a Reciprocal rather than a Reaction. The difference is the nature of the recognition implicit in "reciprocal" and in "reaction." Here a reciprocal recognition is to see both the explicit and implicit of a mountain. This way you see a mountain as in the process of mountain-ing rather than a humble and inanimate Noun.

If we go back to the math and philosophy of Descartes, you'll find a cat, a donkey or a beef cow weren't recognized as processes. These creatures didn't "Think Therefore" and nor did mountains.
