2.59
In some ways, the world the totality of relations. If we counted all the relations, would we have a picture of the world? – Well, but do you think that, even if it could be done (an infinite task), your own stance in counting relations wouldn’t enter the picture? The picture of the world as the totality of relations is itself something to which we’d relate.
If a world is a totality of relations, this totality fades into other totalities (other worlds), none ever fully total. There’s no totality for all ‘totalities’ (§2.35).
Enworlded beings relate to things; they relate to wisps of worlds like punctures or openings in their world. Following a wisp is ‘going through’ an opening.
A world is a partial totality of relations, bleeding and growing into other partial totalities. A world is a whole, interacting and interlocking with other wholes. It’s a mesh of relations, enmeshed with others.
