Definition of Emergent Worldmaking

What is Emergent Worldmaking?

The explanation of ongoing worldmaking can seem quite straightforward. But the concepts of worldmaking quickly become quite odd and counterintuitive as their intimate intraweaving with complexity and emergence is explicated. The ongoing creative processes of livingness are both complex (in the technical sense of this term) and emergent. For us, one cannot speak of worldmaking without speaking of emergence. To be more explicit, we should be calling our approach to the creative practices of the living: Emergent Worldmaking

And when complexity, emergence, and worldmaking meet as entangled creative processes  – the practices, concepts, and lived intuitions challenge our most basic assumptions about causality, our selves, creativity, and agency.
