Using an Experiential Vocabulary

If we do not have the experience vocabulary, we cannot comprehend an process, we cannot "read" that part of the world. Part of "reading" process is seeing in terms of process. Whitehead's use of new terms and the re-purposing of older terms encourages the adaption of these new terms to parallel the adaption of new experience. It is the prehension of language and experience.
 
"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” - Marcel Proust


What is this device used for? Why would it matter to you? What would you call it?
