Abstract

This chapter distinguishes between structures that converge into one (necessity) and structures that do not end in one (contingency). While physical processes such as neuronal convergence and internal formation within a Sedimentation-Field terminate in determinate outcomes, intention introduces a biased current that re-enters the physical domain and prevents strict convergence. Contingency is not mere randomness; it gives order to what is not yet so. The chapter thus reconfigures the relation between necessity, intention, and physical reality within the framework of Self-Manifestation.
