World-totality, world-echoes, and world-chaos are identities, not guises.
Evidence
Nor are these guises of the world (the world as totality, etc.); they are identities of the world. The world is totality (concrete and quantifiable), echoes (feedback), and chaos (spiraling and redundant trajectories), aIl at once, depending on our many ways of sensing and addressing it. — Édouard Glissant, Poetics of Relation, 42
Categorization
- DEFINE: Clarifies Glissant’s three neologisms as identities of the world itself, not mere descriptions.
- XREF: The chaos-world identity and its spiraling structure connect to Glissant’s errantry and creolization as mechanism for loosening fixed identity. — connects to: Multiple modes of relating define the world simultaneously, not as guises but identities
