So when a prompt activates the AI model:
- The [[generative process]] that unfolds = [[machina naturans]]
- The specific output produced = [[machina naturata]]
- The AI model itself = the medium/substrate that enables [[machina naturans]]
- The ongoing processes of growth, change, and generation = [[natura naturans]] (the active "naturing" - photosynthesis occurring, cells dividing, roots extending, flowers blooming)
- The specific organisms, structures, and forms produced = [[natura naturata]] (this particular oak tree, that specific rose bloom, these leaves)
- The material substrate of nature itself (matter, energy, biological systems) = the medium/substrate through which [[natura naturans]] operates
this has been a very interesting conversation, could you write me out a plan for a new iteration of my paper which reflects our updated views on these matters. it could be about 4000 words so [[each section]] should have a word count. There should be no subsections, only sections. each bullet point is a long/complex sentence which stands in for one whole paragraph. Sub bullet points are used to add details to this intitial descritption.
