2.27

Particular things can be re-encountered in a way analogous to the transformation:    . Though, to enable the transformation at the level of things enables the transformation at the level of worlds (§2.5): when we notice the thing change, we may not notice that the world that houses it changes as well.

Things become crisper when taken on their own terms. They show more of themselves to the one who’s opened and showing themself in turn. This is an ontological transformation. (This makes way for an auto-ontological transformation, when beings are uncovering their own relations.)

The transformation of the world gets us back in touch with things and how it is for things to be the things they are. Things shine outwards—they radiate from themselves into the rest of the world (§2.7)—like a tuning fork with sympathetic resonance, reverberating through space and time (§2.10) and things.

One metaphysics—which permeates our experience—is questioned by other metaphysics (§2.16).
