Our real identity is the entire collection of beings and their environments and their relationships with one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continue reading for an intriguing discussion of relationalism as Watts sees it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-cosmic-being-framework-everything-is-relative\">The Cosmic Being Framework: Everything Is Relative<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the limitations of language for describing the Cosmic Being, Watts elaborates on his Cosmic Being framework by explaining that everything is relative\u2014that <strong>everything in the universe exists in <em>relationship<\/em> to its environment and other beings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, we can\u2019t define anything except in relative terms. For example, we can only describe warm in comparison to something cold. We can define ourselves as human only by comparison to other types of organisms. Even in terms of the way our senses perceive things, we can only see a circle on a piece of paper if there\u2019s a different-colored background that evokes the circle. Thus, everything is interconnected, and nothing can have an identity in isolation, including humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watts also explains that organisms are really a <em>process<\/em> of interacting with their environment. For example, a person has to breathe air, eat food, and walk on solid ground, and people only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/perceiving-reality\/\">perceive reality<\/a> when their nervous system continuously interacts with the environment. These observations reinforce the idea that everything in existence depends on mutuality and relationships.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Relativity in Science<\/strong><br><br>The concept of viewing everything in relative terms is called \u201crelationalism.\u201d It occurs in many fields of study, including color theory, theories of time and space, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/quantum-mechanics-theory\/\">quantum mechanics<\/a>. In <a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/analysis\/article-abstract\/70\/2\/218\/93869?redirectedFrom=fulltext&amp;login=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">color theory<\/a>, relationalism suggests that objects don\u2019t have a true color because it\u2019s possible for multiple observers to perceive the color differently. In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/a-brief-history-of-time\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>A Brief History of Time<\/em><\/a>, Stephen Hawking explains that, in physics, <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/a-brief-history-of-time\/1-page-summary#question-1-is-reality-relative-or-absolute\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">motion, position, time, and weight are all relative<\/a> to the observer because there\u2019s no absolute frame of reference.<br><br>The <a href=\"https:\/\/plato.stanford.edu\/Archives\/Win2004\/entries\/qm-relational\/#:~:text=Relational%20quantum%20mechanics%20is%20an,the%20course%20of%20physical%20interactions.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">relational quantum mechanics<\/a> model also applies this principle to the microscale and suggests that particles can be in more than one state at the same time. Therefore, there\u2019s no absolute state of any system\u2014only measurable <em>interactions <\/em>between the system and a specific observer. For example, we can\u2019t say that an electron is in one specific position; we can only say that an observer <em>perceived<\/em> it in a specific position.<br><br>These scientific concepts reinforce Watts\u2019s ideas that we can only observe characteristics in relative terms, and that there\u2019s no such thing as discrete, definable entities\u2014only interactions between systems.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is everything relative?
