>The judge smiled. Organisms are born for process. Nothing else. Every child knows that process is more enduring than essence. He knows too that the nature or definition of an essence is not inherent in the essence itself but rather in its relations to that which is always evolving. Essentialist ontologies require a complex knower to have any meaning at all. Essentialist metaphysics involves the evaluation and sustaining of the eternal objects and the evolution of corpuscular societies and the potentiality of ingression is in in itself insufficient to define an eternal object because they must inhere in the nexus of actual entities to which God made them relevant. But public matter of fact or private matter of fact all eternal objects aspire to the condition of creativity for here that which is evolves swallows up creature, God, all.

>Suppose two actual entities in process with nothing to prehend save each other. Who has not heard such a tale? An objectification of the body. The whole universe for such an entity has labored clanking to this moment which will tell if he is to pass away in his own concrescence or become subsumed into a deadened corpuscular society. What more certain determination of an organism’s essence could there be? This enhancement of the process to its ultimate state admits no argument concerning the notion of aseity. The decision of one modification of feeling over another is an evaluation absolute and irrevocable and it is a dull man indeed who could reckon so profound a decision without the conditioning of creativity or the divine ordering of God either one. In such processes as have for their end the concrescence into a final fact of ultimate relatedness the decisions are quite clear. This organism holding this particular arrangement of prehensions in its consciousness is thereby removed from relevance. This is the nature of process, whose stake is at once the essence and the relation and the objective immortality. Seen so, process is the truest form of determination. It is the interaction of one’s appetition and the appetition of another within that larger appetition which because it binds them is therefore forced to select. Process is the ultimate reality because process is at last a forcing of the unity of existence. Process is god. Brown studied the judge.
