A pile of wooden branches comes down, one after the other. These branch varieties are not bound to any ontological commitments: they know universals and differences, and they weave clusters and eddies to sustain relational flourishing.

In forming the woodlands, diverse peoples and other critters enrich the earth with abundant life-forms, changing their species identities according to their own unique structures and compositions. This is not an organic process, but a systematic ordered improvement after centuries of devastating breakdowns and falsifications.
