Whitehead focuses not on the figure or the ground but the interaction, the derivative. The relationship, in all aspects, is the focus. This makes the ground and figure, relative to the relationship, dynamic and variously subjective and didactic. The ground is derived from the relationship, the figure is the relationship. What are they "saying" to each other? And as interpretants, what are we sensing? We have been trained to see things as they change in relationship. Can we move to seeing the relationship as the primary ground of interaction? Can we see the interaction as formative? That forms consist of nothing but the interaction with other forms?
