Nested Boundaries

Rather than remaining isolated events, interactions create reciprocal change; distinctions between what observes and is observed soften with each encounter. The body’s boundaries aren't absolute but extend outwards into dynamic relationships, continually shaped by external stimuli in complex layers of response—a concept explored by thinkers considering embodied cognition. This ongoing exchange challenges straightforward understandings of cause and effect, as influence ripples through nested systems. Consequently, memory isn't a contained record but is distributed across these very connections, continuously evolving with the world it maps.
