“REPRODUCTION” is pure abstraction that has no place in the reality of our actual experience

There is no such thing as ‘reproduction’, it is language and grammar invoked intellectual abstraction.  Experientially, there is only relational transformation. ‘Production’ refers to ‘products’ understood as ‘structures’.  There are no ‘structures’ in ‘process’ where ‘process’ is a transforming relational continuum.  ‘Structures’ are the intellectual abstractions; artifacts of language and grammar.

The following DISCUSSION develops the conceptual background needed to explore this mistaken belief in ‘reproduction’.  The distinction between ‘structure’ and ‘process’ plays a key role.  ‘Reproduction’ refers to the ‘replicating of a particular structure’ but ‘structures’ are intellectual abstractions that do not ‘really exist’ in a fluid, process based world.  The world as understood in modern physics is a transforming relational continuum; i.e. a world without ‘structures’ since it is a world where everything is in continuing relational flux wherein ‘structures’ are NOT REAL but are abstractions based on ‘snapshot visual appearance’ of relational forms-in-flow.  Visual ‘snapshotting’ ‘freezes’ the flow-forms and plays the same role as  ‘naming’; i.e. the name persists in the psyche and keeps repeating the same definition over and over again to us, just as a visual ‘snapshot’ keeps repeating to us the same ‘thing-in-itself’ image to us over and over again.

Once we name the continuously transforming flow form (hurricane) ‘Katrina’, the persistence of the name ERRONEOUSLY implies the persistent ‘being’ of a structure where, in fact, there is only ‘process’.  We conflate this first error of name-instantiating the abstraction of a local thing-in-itselfness by a second error of grammar that erroneously imputes to the first error (the name-instantiating ‘existence’ of a thing-in-itself structure ), its own powers of sourcing actions and development.

This ‘double error’ is embedded in Western culture language usage so it it difficult to escape from it within Western culture language using social collectives since we keep repeating this ‘double error’ to ourselves over and over again.
