Ontology of Becoming: Ontokinethics
Ontokinethics is an ontology of movement and becoming that inverts western metaphysics of identity by generating an understanding of movement as incipient (virtual) and relational: movement not as activity of the already given, but as generative of all that is, within a metahumanist conception of the world as immanent field of forces. Amorphogenesis is a process where priority lies in the permanent formation of potentials that exceed their actualisations, inverting the traditional account of nihilism, that appears now related to the fixation of identity and form, which negates the creative forces of becoming. Ontokintehics thus interprets the nihilistic or creative wills implicit in movement according tendencies to replication and homogenisation, or emergence and differentiation.
