representational inquiry regarding meaning » reality » self/world dynamic
As part of the experiencer-experiencing-experienced axis, the W-node is properly just experiencing as such, but as we are already involved in a discursive space of meaning involving particular experiencers experiencing experienced particulars, we paradigmatically understand experiencing as such in terms of experiencing as (self/world) dynamic, hence the green color. (The torus = experiencing, and the green color = dynamic.)
This self/world dynamic is the discursive activity of meaning-making. It's dialogical in nature, indicating an interdependent, reciprocal relationship between self and world—a process of being thrown back-and-forth between self and world. This dialogue makes meaning by opening a discursive space in which intelligibility occurs. This discursive, dialogical activity counts as the process of interpreting reality meaningfully. It's an hermeneutic process—a dialogue between part and whole, text and context—where self is paradigmatically the part and world is paradigmatically the whole.
The diagrammatic components of the W-node torus include its inner horizon (the donut hole), its outer horizon, and the vertically-oriented loop that forms the body of the donut as it rings the axis. These parts correspond to experiencing as self (inner horizon donut hole), where the dynamic moves toward parts, experiencing as world (outer horizon), where the dynamic moves toward wholes, and experiencing as dynamic (vertically-oriented loop), where the dynamic moves dialogically, actively integrating self and world, part and whole.
